Need Help with Improving Mindset

Howldoom·7/30/2015, 9:09:35 PM·1 votes·780 views

I go on losing streaks, I move from champion to champion after losing too often as one, I get upset after 1-2 losses and, if it's a bad day, imagine myself using a cane or some other implement to cripple or maim anyone I don't know who may irritate or set me off next (Not that I actually do that, I can at least rein in those extremes). I then rant on forums about what I'm doing wrong, what I need work on, why it's my fault I couldn't save the win, etc. If there are little things or bigger picture ideas that I need to work into habit, then I'm in no mood right now to implement them. I don't want to grind bots, I don't want to take notes on long streams (especially not now), and as much of a douche as I must sound like now I just want Gold for the Victorious skin so I can feel like I accomplished something. Every loss puts me behind, every game of the gold disparity being too far apart for me to do anything anymore or the public places I use internet in shorting out ping-wise keeps me away from that (And speaking on that subject, lag happens at such an unreliable frequency that games I enter into with pretty good latency have a chance of becoming unplayable. Already ditched a game on that basis, currently have three more low-priority games to complete. And no: 1) I really don't want to effectively pay $60+ a month for a free game; 2) I'm of the opinion that my mindset and mechanics take precedence in importance over the internet here).

BONUS: Things I don't do - Flame in game, since blaming people does nothing for my win rate. Troll in competitive games. Actively take out anger on anything other than a non-essential inanimate object, or myself in a non-suicidal or mass-public manner.

Stop playing for a few months, get away from LoL completely for a good long time.

Sounds like you are having a bad time, you need to get away from all this stuff for a while and realize its just a game meant to have fun with or a sport meant to be taken serious. You are not having fun but are unwilling to take a professional assessment of your own faults or take advice from other people, or work hard to gain the skills needed to better yourself, then you can only fail either way.

I think you either care to little or too much for your own good. If you get away from it all it may help you clear your head and one day come back with a better attitude.

Seriously just grind the shit out of ranked until youre better, play match and match again, and every time you died, seriously look at where you were, where your teammates were, and where the enemies were. Best way to advance is to find out what is killing you, lack of vision, roaming, mechanics, and then you have a sense to know what to work on. If you arent gold, grinding games and losing elo really doesnt matter, the difference between silver and bronze isnt much, just a border. Dont play against bots, play against people over and over, ANYONE who grinds this game hard enough, and just fixes their deaths, will advance.
