What the hell do I do?

I'm on a 6 game lose streak, and went from almost into promos for Silver 1 to now almost into demotion to silver 4 (S2 81LP --> S3 18 LP)

I simply cannot win any game. I just lost a 5v4 (Yes, they had 4) where at one point I was even legendary.

No matter what I do it seems that I'm always at the disadvantage.

Before you say l2carry, I already climbed out of bronze 3 and surged towards silver 2, and used to be gold, but I suddenly had one loss and now they are stacking up and to be honest I don't know why.

I have tried taking huge breaks, not thinking about, nothing is working. Advice?

Play unranked and stop worrying about it. It's important that you're enjoying yourself more than anything. If you aren't having fun then there's no point at all.

Honest question, were all these 6 games in succession? As a general rule I play ranked by is if I lose 2 games in a row, I stop with ranked for a few hours or even that day.

people say tilt, but till this day... I still don't believe people to be that petty to let trauma from last games hinder their current mental state and even you, stahp bullshitting yourself and stop letting others bullshit you, you aint on tilt but you will be if you believe their nonsense yep, people go into tilt after being misdiagnosed of having said tilt...it's a false alarm like 95% of the time

this happens to me far too often, I have a great win streak or abuncha wins,lookin at 70%~80% winrate, then riot suddenly deems you good enough to carry 4 deadweights, but of course you can't, and the deadweights drag you down to the very bottom

these are things you simply wait out, play normals while you wait i guess

Play some normal, then go back into ranked.

A lot of people think that a 4v5 is an instant loss, or a 5v4 is an instant win, its BS. I have won more 4v5s than I have lost. If you go about it the right way, you can really take advantage of the huge exp lead each member of the 4 is going to get without that 5th person. It doesnt do you squat late game once everyone is 18, but the trick is you dont let it get to late game, and you roll the enemy with your large lvl lead

First of all, figure out why you lost. Did you play as well as you normally do? Then chances are it was just a random string.

In series of 100 games with 50% chance of win or lose, there is a 54.32% chance that you will have a losing streak of 6 games. Streak Calculator Link.

You can win a game. You are just as capable as you were before. Being anxious cramps your performance. If you let the outcome of the game matter to you mentally, your performance suffers. For more on this phenomenon, go read "The Inner Game of Tennis", or the book "Effortless Mastery". They both discuss the mental aspects of performance (the second one is geared towards musicians, but anyone can benefit from the lessons). Free your mind. Have you seen the Last Samurai? Don't be the dude who had "too many mind".

Well uh, the game I played right after this post I had a 20 something and 3? Yi and we won lol.

To people saying ''play normals''

They aren't any fun to me tbh. Feel like I don't get much out of it and it doesn't feel serious enough.

So yeah. I will see if this continues.

Play your role as best you can call the shot's of you need to man and be positve and give advice for your team to do better for themselves and for the team as team obj's knowing when to fight knowing when not to how not to feed and if youre one of the nice players and you say hey fizz can you stop feeding and they say stfu noob you suck or anything in that area ignore them and double lift for the win I play my role as best i can and it works out well for me

A friend on my friend list was having the same problem. I asked if he wanted to play a normal game with me an we won. Ask someone to play with you or duo. It makes all the difference in the world.

Take a break within league. Play norms with a group of friends or ARAM. Don't play to win and have fun.

Just play normal to try to get yourself out of tilt. It could be anything to a changing meta to your own psychological state going into the game. Going into a game only thinking about getting that 7th loss will distract you and make you play in a way you wouldn't normally
