I'm completely casual now that I work so losing 3 in a row right when I get home after a long day and then having to go to sleep doesn't really help me unwind. By the first loss I kind of just have a crappy feeling that I'm still gonna lose more, while not letting it affect my gameplay or my teammates, just a thought in the back of my head. I'm asking moreso out of curiosity because this is an interesting trend I've been noticing over the past couple of weeks. It seems like more of an anomaly when I win 1 and lose 1 etc. rather than a 3 down 1 or 2 up kind of thing. I guess an answer for this would help me mentally prepare for a losing streak so I don't feel as much when it happens or so I can plan on not playing that day and wasting what little time I have. I know I'm not a great player and I'm not saying I deserve to win all the time but most of my games are average unless I don't know the champ. Thanks in advance [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

ARAM is all about losing in interesting ways.

Their matchmaking is flawed for normal mode (forced 50% win ratio). In Aram, it's even worse due to some "tricks" about champ selection (you can often find one team full of Velkoz, Veigar, and Lux, and the other one full of Warwick or so).
