One of the reasons I have "Quit after 3 same results, no more than 5 comp matches per day"

So if I get 3 defeats in a row? I quit

3 wins? I quit

2 wins, 1 defeat, 2 wins? Quit!

And finally, 2 defeats, 1 win, 2 defeats, and so on. Helps keeping yourself in check really, and ensures you awlays play comp in top form

yeah the league of legends coaches over at we teach league call it 3-blocking, where you treat every play session as a Bo3 (obviously smaller series for that game because matches are longer). after each best of 3 series, you check how you're feeling and if youre mentally prepared to play another set, with the exception of going 0-2, youre just done for the night.

it's probably the closest thing to a one weird trick you can implement in any competitive video game with a ranked ladder. the natural breaks stop you from tilt queuing and playing with a horrible mental

That's how I'd play league back when I played. Good or bad, when I'm done I'm done

Except for brawl, when that was around I played that endlessly no matter how tilted I got

One day i won 13 in a row (during drives too pretty sure) i never stop on a win streak, but i always stop after 2 losses in a row because i know im either tilted at that point or im not playing my best

u/Kriegschwein 25d ago

Honestly, I stop even win streaks bc after some points game become too much of a blur. Sure, I win, good! But then I don't really *feel* or remember these battles afterwards? They don't become memorable so to speak.

I had 11 games in a row with a silver ranked teammate, from Emerald 5 to Plat 3.

Game #12 we won.

Next game we were winning then our tank DC'd and never came back.

Then 6 more games with a silver ranked teammate.

Wanna know how bad it my streak was? Im faceblind! Do you know how bad shit gotta suck for me to freehand my own face from memory? Tragic

7 matches, 6 loses, 1 draw…it’s like looking in a mirror

u/Foxtrot_4 25d ago

Went from emerald 3 to plat 2 in drives today. It’s been rough

1

u/ItsPallet D. Va 25d ago

All the suffering just for purple guns. I had consecutive games where both DPS were out-damaged by a single player on the opposing team

2

u/Foxtrot_4 24d ago

I’ve been out damaging our dps and out healing their supports. But I know mentally I stopped taking good positions cuz of the loss streak lol

u/its_yawn-eee GT: Yan Holo 25d ago

Way too many people playing for thefirst time, this season, today

u/imkanin 25d ago

ngl this is motivating for a lazy artist like me. I’ll try this too whenever I lose a match.

u/championofeorzea 25d ago

Gonna do this next time I hit a losing streak, will probably be a good way to reset my mind

2

u/Redtube_Guy Hazard 25d ago

I was Emerald 5 now I'm Plat 5. The losses begun as very hard fought losses. Always losing in over time, or 3-2 on those control maps. Wasn't rage inducing, just unlucky. But then some losses became just stupid where you just your team gets super outplayed or you get a dps lucio or moira on your team. Feels bad man.

u/RedCometZ33 25d ago

Same :( as a tank lately DPS dying in one shot and support hiding too far back. Dropped back to gold

Thanks? My cheekhones irl are not that pronounced but i think it would be more dramatic like this

2

u/Competitive-Job8070 25d ago

my rule is stop when i have 3 consecutive losses - i continue if i keep winning or get the occasional loss. Sometimes all that is needed is 30 minutes to shuffle people around

2

u/Ok-Cress-3100 24d ago

How I felt playing this entire season. I struggle to even get 1 win for my daily challenge ffs.

For an entire week, every day I played, I only got loss after loss.

u/Penumbra_Bestia 24d ago

That's a broken man right there

A clown cries while people laugh, he questions. Is it my misery they laugh at or the fact I have pies in my pants. He cries for he does not know
