When I play draft I am matched with high golds/low plat but I'm ranked B2 I have a hard time playing ranked I don't know why but I just feel stressed and anxious and it affects my play but I'm norms I play for fun and I think that is one of the things holding me back from progressing any advice?
Playing against far better players could never hold you back from progressing. Quite the opposite. Thats the best possible way to improve. You dont improve by winning. You improve by learning. Learn from those players. Dont be ashamed to ask them for tips. See what they are doing, when they are doing those things...
You have ranked anxiety cos you put too much of an importance on it. No one will die if you loose a ranked match.
If fact, even if you lost 100 ranked matches and dropped down to B5, nothing really bad will come out of it.
for the most part i play ranked as if it was a normal. you win and you lose.
Play only ranked. But don't give yourself a goal. Just play for fun. Who cares what rank you are. It's just a game. I used to try to cherry pick my ranked times, saving it for when I'm "warmed up" or feeling like I'm just on my game. It doesn't work. It only frustrates you more if you lose. So just always play ranked and that way each game will be less consequential.
