So this is my first year playing, and I got ranked into silver. Last night I was playing really well and went on a winning streak, and made it to Silver 2, with 24 lp to spare. Then today, I played a lot and got demoted back to Silver 3 and now only 43 lp. So I wanna know if there is anyway to prevent this downward spiral from happening again.
P.S No one recommend boosting, i'm not really into that.
Let me tell you a story of my most recent streak.
I play since season 2 and i am a silver. I never put myself immediately intor anked and all over these years, while i got a great lot of knowledge and experience over many matters, i felt i still played with the mechanics of a sloth.
One day, due to a series of things like picking a champion i resonated well and making good decisions and flashy plays i managed to get from silver 3 to silver 1, reaching the promo to gold. I failed the promo 3 times, every time doing worse and worse. I got pissed by that and i forced my way into promos again, resulting in poor plays and making em fall to silver 2.
That is not good neither for you nor for your ranking, and i decided to pause a bit, doing only normals to keep myself trained but without exausting myself, and i dare to say that worked pretty much well! You don' t have to lock yourself too much into rankeds else your judgement, your cool and your prowness falls hard.
... , then i reached silver 3 due to a massive amoutn of afkers and trolls like i have never seen in 3 years and lost promos crashing the client on champion pick, but that si an other matter >_>
OK, so I think your trying to tell me that players go on self destructive rampages from time to time. But literally the hardest problem i'm having is quitting while i'm behind. Even to the point where I will go play arams to cool off, then jump back into ranked and get messed up again. I guess I just need to find something to do besides playing leauge in between losses. It just really sucks going out on a loss.
