Don't play into a losing streak. Take a break and come back, get a bite to eat, make sure your mental energy is high. If you play too many games you become sluggish and negative, even if you feel fine.

Don't play into a losing streak. Take a break and come back, get a bite to eat, make sure your mental energy is high. If you play too many games you become sluggish and negative, even if you feel fine.

The best advice someone can give you, but I will go into further detail.

Here are some things you might be suffering from

-The Loser Mentality What is the loser mentality? A- The Loser mentality is when you lose so much, you go into each game thinking "well im going to try my best, but we are most likely just going to lose anyways". This is a horrible mind set, any profesional athlete will tell you a positive mind set, is SUPER IMPORTANT to have a chance at winning. For the moment you give up in your head, the moment you go in thinking "im just going to lose anyways". You mentaly gave up, and because of that, even if you feel you are trying your best, you honestly are not, for since your brain gave up, eventually your body gives up as well. Your thinking becomes slower, even if it's just slight, it becomes slower. If this is what you are suffering from, than you need to change this, and change it as soon as you can before it contaminates other aspects of your life. You have to go into everything you do with this mindset.

"i'm going to do everything I can, and I will give it my all no matter what the out come is"

-Your Temper is getting worse No need for a serious explanation here, with each new loss, comes frustration, even the kindest players, the most calm players, would become irritated after a 5 game losing streek. Even if you don't notice it, trust me, you are getting frustrated, it's time you take a step back and just calm down, do something else.

-You aren't having fun you are playing to win To play ranked and be serious about climbing you must approach it with the mindset of a happy scholar. A happy scholar is a person who wants to learn and improve, they find the process of learning fun, they love what they do, they love what they are studying, so they are happy. You need to be both fun and be willing to learn to climb in this game, even if you are in challenger you must keep this mind set. Look at all the ex pro players who are hard stuck in diamond or low challenger. If you watch them stream many of them look bloody misserable. They are also on losing streeks. Why?

Because they no longer love what they are doing, they are only in it for the money now. Even Apdo one of the worlds greatest players is constantly studying the game, he is looking for cool new tricks to abuse and work with.

The moment you stop having fun, the moment you deny yourself the chance to learn, is when you really fuck yourself over.

But here's my problem. If you look at my history, there are a TON of losing streaks. Seems like that's all I get, no matter how many breaks I take. I log on, loss. Loss. Loss. Loss. Then maybe 2 wins. Then another losing streak. Then eventually they give me some garbage winning streak that puts me barely back to where I started, meaning the whole time was wasted on just getting back to where I started. I seriously do not remember the last time I logged on and had a ton of victories. 2-3 at this point mean nothing to me. I'm just constantly being dropped. I try to learn my mistakes, but it just doesn't seem to matter. I always try to have fun, but after the 2nd or 3rd time having a losing streak it just gets stale. I get to a point where I feel lost and have no clue who or where to play. I was ONE match from plat promos, and now I've dropped to G3 playing with....silvers. It's discouraging. Very very discouraging.

I honestly believe there is some hidden shady stuff in the match making system. My matches can go like this... Win 5 in a row, then lose 5 in a row. Win 3 in a row, lose 3 in a row. WIN 10 IN A ROW, lose 10 in a row.

I don't think it's me. I think I play good, but I honestly think match making is shady, but that's something we will never know.

This is where I get frustrated though. I've taken plenty of breaks and have even not played a full day. I come back on happy to play another match and BOOM.....losing streak. Same typical flaming feeding junk that I just can't seem to avoid. Just NEVER seems like the enemy team gets that crap and I am constantly hitting these 5 - 6 game losing streaks. Gets old.

Welp. After an 8 game losing streak I won like 3, now I'm on a 4 game losing streak. I seriously don't know what on earth is going on. These matches feel impossible to win, and now I'm at the bottom of Gold 3. I mean wow. Extremely discouraged, went from being within one win of a play series to playing in the pits of Gold. The matches feel extremely hard to carry, seems like there is no more team chemistry the lower I am dropping. What gives? Is it me? I have never dropped this hard. This is ridiculous.
