How To Deal With Losing Streaks

  The thing that I dislike lies in the way the games get more difficult. It never feels like your opponents are better, it feels like at some point, you get worse and worse players in your team compared to enemy counterparts and you´re supposed to win somehow. It feels impossible.

  I might be wrong, but I’ve been playing this game for over a decade and I’ve started to notice patterns that don’t feel random at all. I think it’s a very calculated and manipulative matchmaking system designed to keep you playing more and make you addicted.<br><br>Sometimes the game gives you a very easy win streak, even for dozens of matches, and then suddenly it turns into a long losing streak. You never really know what went wrong or what you did wrong — the games just become unreasonably difficult. Your ADC goes 0/10 in the first 15 minutes, your jungler never ganks or takes objectives, and your top laner rage quits after getting crushed by a smurf Vayne. It feels like you have to be “the chosen one,” way better than everyone else, just to beat the system. Otherwise, it turns into an endless loop where each match feels like a coin flip.<br><br>I’d honestly advise people to stay away from games like this. They just waste your time and slowly drain your mental energy. It’s better to do something more meaningful than sit there playing a game that’s designed to manipulate and control you.

  I basically go 3-8 in the first few games of the season every time, after that I quickly bounce back to 50/50 then a positive winrate. I don&apos;t think I play any different in my placement games, when I review them they look just like the games I win later on. I just have learned to accept that early season is chaotic and I probably don&apos;t suit that kind of playstyle all that well

  Real. I lost a few games at the beginning of this season which seems to have dropped my MMR into plat territory. <br>Because of this, it was super frustrating to play engage supports because plat ADCs simply do not see kill opportunities in lane.<br>Instead of trying to play around them I swapped to jungle and carried my way back to emerald. Now playing support is much easier again.

  All the commentary on having lowered expectations of your teammates while dropping - I dropped from High-Dia down to Mid-Emerald, even Low-E4 at one point because of this. I was probably slightly slingshotted up to D2/D1 early season with a 58% w/r (I was about D4 average) played with better ADCs for around 200 games but 48% w/r will just made me drop, got very comfortable with how Dia/M ADCs play (I was Sp main). Then inevitably I go back down to D3/D4 (BIG diff between D4 and D2+). Suddenly 80% plays are now 50% plays and I&apos;m flipping the game perma. Well then I get on an unlucky streak (happens) and go to D4 0 LP, then quality is degraded a ton from what I&apos;m used to... The spiral continued and I find myself in E2 with negative gains not understanding what went wrong and if I even belonged in Diamond. And because of the frequency of mistakes in lower elo, I was actually just snowballing the enemy harder the MORE plays I make that I see as great, but allies don&apos;t. My mental/ego took a big hit and now I&apos;m just tilt queueing and playing really bad. All the &quot;I have to make up this LP now&quot; and &quot;I have to CARRY/1v9&quot; rhetoric was strong and just made me play worse. <br> <br>After some coaching (with you actually ;) ), I swear all I did was stop trying to punish enemy mistakes and let the mistakes come to me, look for 80% plays based on my ALLIES phycology, instead of having to look for opportunities to gain an edge because it just wasn&apos;t necessary. So I intentionally came out lane lane 0-0-0 instead of 0-6-0 (even though if my plays were followed we could be 0-0-12), and probably had a 75%+ w/r back to Dia because I&apos;m just in really LOW quality games compared to what I&apos;m used to. Doing &quot;nothing&quot; won me more games than making any great play I saw. Although I consider doing &quot;nothing&quot; actively making the choice not to make MISTAKES. <br> <br>I hit Masters with a 70%+ w/r (from D4 on my last push ) for the first time 9 days before S15 ended. I finally understood why Masters is &quot;now you can start playing league of legends&quot; - because if you &quot;just&quot; STOP doing BAD plays and clean up mistakes you can make it there.
