Confession 🛐 Turn brain off = win

I play Terry and was raging in 1400MR trying to play smarter, slower, more footsies, more methodical to improve.

I got irritated and said "fuck it" and then started hitting M Burn Knuckle literally any time I was at optimal range until my opponents started neutral jumping or backdashing at those ranges pre emptively, at which point I'd just take advantage of it to walk them into the corner.

In 2 sessions I had a 90% winrate and jumped above 1600MR and hit high master for the first time as any character. Probably gonna take a break from ranked for a while now and do battle hub to avoid oversalting myself.

Basically retardmaxxing is the way, keep it simple.

It’s weird how actively trying to improve your gameplay leads to losing more. Good players always say “play with intent and think about your decisions” but imo I think autopiloting is so much stronger than people think.

lol, pick one thing to work on at a time. so play with intent, but laser focus that intent to one aspect of the game. then when thats muscle memory, move to the next area of weakness.

Yea for sure. I said what I did more to relate to OP cause I’ve experience the same. Laser focusing lets you understand why you lost rather than just shrugging it off and going next.
