What do you do to get out of a lose streak? Lost all my games yesterday, tried to start today fresh, by about 10 minutes in, everyone on the team was 0/2/0 or 0/3/0 except me (not saying I'm the best, but this is how it played out). We started to come back a bit cause I got fed, but eventually lost. Had another game the same but worse yesterday, to the point I wanted to surrender at the 15 minute mark (which I was originally opposed against). Literally my whole team was about 0/4/0 while I was 0/0/0 (until i got 3-4 man dove bot lane 2 times). I guess this is mostly a rant post but I really do want to know how to break this damn lose streak because I can't. Any suggestions? I've tried taking a break also, started to day how yesterday ended. tl;dr how i stop lose streak

In this situation, I'd say the best way to end your loss streak is to not acknowledge it as a loss streak.

You always gotta look at your own play first, but by your word it has been the fault of your teammates and not yourself. If that's truly the case, then your current loss streak is purely a fluke of matchmaking and bad luck. Allowing yourself to tilt off of it will only put you at risk to lose games down the line that you DO have a chance of winning.

Shit happens. Take whatever time off you need to start fresh, but by no means should you change your attitude towards the game based on a "loss streak" that had nothing to do with your own performance.

I don't play past two loses in a row. It's like blackjack, go until the winning streak ends. Then do something that doesn't matter. Go to normals and try a champ out you had always wanted to or, god forbid read a book/take a walk.

you have to break the cycle.

Just remember that each time you lose your MMR goes down, but your skill does not. It has to end eventually. The worst streak I had that I can remember was losing 13 out of 15 games. That was really hard to take.

Update: Lost another 2 games. Did everything possible to win but had an ADC who was just about afk (9k damage to the rest of our 30-40k damage) tried to get objectives and push. Still just can't win. Lost the next one, lost lane against a syndra (i've lost to her 3 times now). Naturally, the rest of my team also got shit on so there was no way. Lately its been only my team to lose lane, and I usually do decently. But this time I lose lane and team also loses lane. Definitely not salty or anything right now. Close to uninstalling this shit, I honestly don't know how the fuck lose / win streaks work. It seems like it has nothign to do with me or how well I do. It just gives me the shittiest players for a certain amount of games, then eventually pairs me with regular team mates.

You switching up roles a lot. I would go back to who you feel most confident on and your best role. I am happy I am not the only one struggling to get back to gold. You been gold last few seasons so gives me encouragement that I am not the only one struggling.

Breaks usually help me. But sometimes If I try to do to much in games because I am frustrated I end up doing more harm then good. Just need to chill out, be in a solid state of mind where your not frustrated. Just focus on yourself and try playing your best in your next game. Not sure what role you main but I main jungle. I was really tilted last couple weeks because I was struggling adjusting to new meta and finding a jungler I wanted to play. For whatever reason I am on a jungle Gragas kick right now but after a few games I am starting to get better with him. Instead of focusing on prior games I just go into each game thinking about how I am going to get my team first blood and then just staring at mini map trying to figure out where enemy jungle is and either focusing on counter ganks, counter jungling, or ganks of my own. Then I just keep thinking about my next play and building off my teammates champs. It hasn't been easy but I can say games have been going longer and I like to think its because I am helping keep my team in the game. I have been helping control objectives so enemy hasn't been able to get them besides a couple dragons plus most the jungles I have been playing against latley have been easy to read so I have been counter ganking them and turning the fights into our favor. Ever since I went back to focusing more on my play and not really paying attention to teammates play I have felt more confident, been more chilled out, and feel like I am having more impact in games.
