Bad Luck or Loss of skill? Or both

EPiKDJ·3/22/2017, 1:42:49 AM·1 votes·315 views

Over the past week or so I've been having bad games. Win rate has dropped 4-6% (now 46% or 45%)

I usually always had 1200+ mmr and at one point had 1500 mmr

I've been playing like total garbage lately. I know my mistakes Im trying to fix them, clearly its not been going well. Its also not helping that Im getting people just bad or people that play like they just got the game.

I use to be pretty decent at the game usually carrying with Jinx (or just being fed) but now its just loss after loss after loss. I get a single win every now and then but i feel like the game punishes me for each win by anothrr loss streak.

went from B1 to B4 in 2 days (to get technical probably 18 hours game time)

What should I do? Or should i just stop because each game now usually ends within the first 10min

Hard to say, maybe both. There are games where i seem to walk on purpose into Morgana Q or Thresh hooks. Days i miss my last hits by 1hp. It's so weird when it happens. Sometimes it's when you're overconfident.

I would suggest for you to just stop playing after losing 2 or 3 in a row. People don't like to admit it, but they play like utter trash when they are on a losing streak, myself included. Anytime I lose 3 games in a row unless it is Aram or rotating game mode I quit playing for the rest of the day and try again the next day.

Think of it like gambling. If you win big and want to keep on testing your luck you will start to go on a losing streak. After losing a couple times it is probably a good idea to just quit instead of trying to gain back what you lost.
