How Often Should I Play Ranked?

In Overwatch i would sink six hours a day into the game for weeks at a time. Eventually this just got too tiresome and i stopped playing ranked for a year or something. Maybe a ranked match a day or something?

I'd say this varies from person to person. For me, i play mostly ranked whether its solo q or flex, but if i have a rough loss i'll take a break for a bit watch something, and then play a norms or a couple arams when i come back, but after that im usually mentally ready to jump back in ranked.

Someone who gets more stressed and worn out from ranked, or if you have more stressful games (teammates flaming/throwing etc.) obviously would not want to play ranked as often to give themselves time to mentally recover/get off tilt. So yeah its about knowing yourself.

It works much better to play regularly. You fix more of your own mistakes, you recognize more mistakes from the enemy, you achieve a more regular quality of performance. Swapping between Ranked and Normals just wastes time, you're better off playing just Ranked unless you're trying to learn something weird or you feel really off.

But if you don't feel like playing then you shouldn't play.
