Will this ever go away?

Whenever I play ranked even though I have played like 80 ranked games overall, I still get slightly nervous before hand, and I can feel my heart rate increase. Does this ever go away?

Thanks

It all depends on how you view ranked in your head, if you have ranked set as this stressful experience, you will most likely continue to get that feeling.

After a while, you tend to realize that losing in ranked isn't the end of the world and you get a calmer demeanor towards the whole ordeal. (Not saying that you aren't like this already)

I remember getting those exact same feelings, I even started to get shakes before games, and ranked was this scary thing that I forced myself to play.

I get increasingly anxious as the game goes on because i've had those 50 - 15 games where we're the leading team, everybody gets cocky and tries to 1v5 allowing the enemy team to stomp us, grab baron and end the game on us. Whenever I'm with a group that does really well that's when I worry. If we're doing poorly then it's just like "okay well i'll just chalk this up as a loss" but being boosted is the biggest game changer.

Maybe its because i play flex, but i dont feel that anymore. Probably cause Norms are taken more seriously than flex LUL

Sure when you get to around 1000-2000 ranked games you go into the "meh whatever i guess someone feeds and other dc's" mode

It's called adrenaline. You're body is hyping you up to give maximum performance.
