Any tips on forced losing streaks?

So Blizzards way of balancing games and arguably forcing loss streaks is annoying but I get it. Milk the game for as much as you can by creating the illusion it is well balanced. Otherwise, the game is dominated by good players and everyone else leaves and the game dies in 12 months. i.e. COD. But… Currently on a 12 gamer and it is the worst I have ever faced in 700 hours. Do I need to start buying loot boxes to be placed in another tier that gets the occasional win? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Switch heroes. That usually works :slight_smile:

Stop believing in forced loss streaks, they don’t exist, playing tilted is what causes you to lose games

Stop playing after 3-4 losses. Take a break, get some water, watch tv or something

Get drunk and watch the towering blaze that is this game.

If you lose 3 times in a row, go play a single player or PVE game for an hour, or do something relaxing like a shower or a walk.

If i loose 3 games in a row i stop playing, it usually means im either to tilted to play from the losses, or i simply have a bad day.

Also, i generally feel that there is a pattern where if you loose the first game there is a big chance you will conitnue to loose while if you win the first you will continue to win.

Tilt plays a bigger role than one might think.

Log off if you lose 2 games in a row.

Warm up in qp/dm before you queue/during the queue.

Stop believing that the system is holding you back. All that does is prevent you from seeing the mistakes you’re making. You’ll never rank up with that mindset. View every loss as at least partly your fault and focus on fixing your mistakes.

tell that to the games where my team act like they haven’t played an fps before, while the enemy act like OWL superstars

Losing a game doesn’t mean it was fixed. Teammates playing badly doesn’t mean it was fixed. Everyone looks like trash when they are being rolled.

Some people seem to think that Blizzard owns some next level A.I. that can predict the future to fix matches. You have way too much faith in the ability of the MM if you think it can predict wether everyone on your team is about to have a bad game (except you ofcourse…). Your going to lose sometimes, deal with it and work on your own game.

If it’s forcing losses then it’s also forcing wins, but no one ever complains about that…
