How long can you play in 1 go?

I usually play like 10 games in a row and after that I take a break or stop for the day.

how much can you play in a row looking at having lose streaks and win streaks?

AND

how can you extend the games you can play in a row without tilting out or getting exhausted?

Not tilt? Sigh, relax. It was a bad game. Maybe take a leak or see what others said inline real quick. Go into the next one ready to kick butt.

Yeah, I tilt often, I have minor anger issues overal.

If I lose like 4 games in a row I get in a bad mood.

I can play for a few hours…if I get on a winning streak I just keep playing lol.

For losses, my rule is if I lose 2-3 games in a row, stop. Maybe I am unknowingly contributing to my teams loss. Basically a break to reset myself.

I can play for about half an hour after that I’m fed up. Too many heroes in OW are unfun to play against.

I don’t mind getting fragged by Ana, Zen, Tracer, Zarya, but I hate absolutely hate getting fragged by Hanzo, Junkrat, doom fist etc as I always feel chested by them,and McCree and the new reaper will be joining that list of lucky heroes.

I can play for about 2-3 hours straight before I want to do something else.
I don’t tilt often at all but I still take a break if I lose two games in row.

I don’t really keep track of the amount but 10 games seems like a reasonable estimation. I think I play for about 3-5 hours.

I once played this game for 14 hours straight. It wasn’t pretty…

Yeah if I lose like 3 games in a row it’s game ending for me, my SR drops to fast.

I once made the mistake of playing for 14h straight some seasons ago. Started around 8 in the evening and stopped at 10 in the morning. I didn’t move a single bit of SR, mostly because I didn’t realize how my attention and skill dropped due to being tired until I felt the tilt and tiredness overtaking. :joy:

Now I mostly play about 1-3h in QP or Arcade with friends and then take a break. When I go for comp though and have a goal and it’s going well I might end up playing longer though. Like this season I played 4h straight until I hit GM from 3800ish upwards (am now decaying).

On average I’d say I play 1.5-2h if I start with friends and I don’t play for the result but mostly just try to have fun, trying to get clips for Youtube videos and doing silly things. In comp I usually try to play serious but still stay relaxed, not caring too much about single losses, using voice and trying to spread a positive vibe and stop if it’s not going too well.

And as for the extending when I feel like I get exhausted or tilted… I usually just take 10-15 minutes on the balcony, get some fresh air and water, maybe something to snack and then go back if I really feel like I want to continue.

from my experience, I can play for up to 3 hrs without any issues if I play on a day off with full energy. After work, more than 4 rounds and I start zoning out and can’t climb or play my best any more.

I mass gamed and did 6 hours a lot before. I see that pro players like xqc also play worse after a big session, so I really think you shouldn’t do more than a couple hours unless you are a streamer and have to

I can probably go for around 10-12 hours assuming toilet breaks, coffee breaks and make a food order in the middle
