It is time to give myself a deadline.

I decided that I must give myself a deadline. Tomorrow is the last day of the year I play this game. I lost 6 ranked games in a row today. Literally every game everyone was feeding horribly. Tomorrow afternoon I will try play ranked one more time with a cleared mind. If I can climb back up, I will assume today was just the most unlucky day possible. If I still can't get 50% winrate, I'm quitting.

I have won vs diamond people multiple times in the past. And I cannot deal with losing in Gold and eventually getting demoted to Silver. This game's ranked system does not work well at all, it's currently bullshitting me, and I must quit if it keeps this up.

I'm making my post to reinforce my decision. A few years of bad IRL things made me quite depressed, and now on top of all that I am getting suicidal over this game taking a shit on my efforts to improve and succeed AT LEAST at this. I must stop before this further destroys day after day of my already shitty life. Tomorrow is the last day I take any BS from this game.

See, i wouldnt play ranked until i am on a winstreak in norms, and if i lose ranked i get off for 3 hours and watch some MagikarUsedFly, or any other major league youtuber. While you are in pain take that time to improve and watch Phylol's tips and Foxdrop, it helps when youre upset.

Last year I couldn't even make it to my Silver 1 promos. I was doing 5-10 matches in a session, but I'd hit those losing streaks and ruin everything.

This year I'm in Gold 1 already with half the matches of last season, and should easily hit Plat. The difference is that I'm only doing 1-2 matches a day, no matter how good or bad I do. I really think it's preventing me from going on tilt (not that I haven't had a losing streak once or twice) and it seems to be working great.

In short, try playing less matches in a row. Trying to force your rank as quickly as possible is going to backfire if you tilt. Take your break, reflect on the experiences of the day, and level up overnight.

Also, only play your absolute best champion and role if you can :3
