What to do about massive loss streaks?

RenownedWheat42·Apr 15, 2017·1 votes·842 views

I usually sit at about 50%. Sometimes I go to 45%, sometimes I go up to 55%. On REAL good weeks I'll see spikes to 75%. But the last few days, I've dropped to like 20% winrate.

I feel like I've done most of what I COULD to try and secure a win during this decline. Usually, I win lane (unless I get ADC, admittedly) but then get tower-dived and ganked to oblivion by a fed enemy jungler. I'm warding CONSTANTLY. If anything, I feel like I've been improving due to playing at a higher level (grouping with a plat friend, consistently matched with higher skilled players) but yet I can't get ANY wins even when playing in my elo.

What do you folks do when you're on a loss streak like this? I've taken long breaks, unwinded so I didn't play while on tilt, played defensive, played aggressive, tried a lot of stuff in general.

If i lose more than 2 in a row, i play norms till I feel like I'm playing well again.

This includes norms, where I'm at a 30%. I'm always doing well in only one part of the game, be it early or late. Never all around good performances, though.

Next step is to start playing the champions that are giving you the most trouble so you can learn their weaknesses.

I myself make a QQ post because hey, it's my name.

But realistically, some of those losses will not be your fault. Like for instance if you get dived over and over by a fed jungler, even with wards, it really just feels like you get to predict your death , not prevent it lmao. Like, "oh no, here he comes, and i have no where to hide or run". Dead.

I personally have found that "de-tilting" never does anything to prevent team mates from playing like, well, how team mates play xD. So instead, i'll pick a SUPER SNOWBALLY carry champ, and blast music with loud obnoxious bass, and carry the weight like a beast.

Iv'e also found that taking a few days off, doesn't work, because again, it does not matter the time or day you play, You always roll the dice in terms of what kind of team mates you get. You could get an AFK, a really toxic guy who tilts you, a lagger, a potato computer user who can't team fight, ya just never know. You always roll the dice with every "Find Match" button you press.

So i honestly try to just not take it too seriously when it's completely out of your hands, just brush it off, go to the next one and play some music.

Your talking to someone who lost 12 ARAMS in a row here, if that isn't tilting, idk what is.
