  This is very true. When I was still really active in League, I used to watch a lot of guide videos on how to improve. I don’t remember who it was, but that’s where I learned about the “sets of 3” concept.<br><br>I think playing 2 games a day is already a good rule, but the sets of 3 concept is kind of similar while giving you a bit more flexibility. Basically, if you win 2 games and lose 1, you can do another set of 3. But if you lose 2 games in a row, stop playing for the day and come back tomorrow.<br><br>This helped me climb a lot and, more importantly, prevented me from going on those massive losing streaks. The longer I played, the more I noticed myself going into autopilot, and that really hurt my chances of climbing.<br><br>I quit League a long time ago, but I think this concept applies to pretty much any competitive game. I’m currently applying the same concept to Valorant, and it’s been working wonderfully.<br><br>Just make sure you create an alt account if you plan on playing with friends, though, because in my case, we can easily play 4–5+ games in a single session every weekend 😂(and it helps you protect your mmr)<br><br>Though sometimes, when I’m on a winstreak, even if I don’t feel like I’m playing at my best, I still decide to keep queueing until I lose a game. I guess you could say I’m kind of cheating the climbing part since I’m getting carried 😂. Some people might argue that being carried is also a skill, though, because you’re not going to be the one carrying every single game. Sometimes you just need to recognize that your teammates are doing well and play around them.
