Come home tired after my shift. “Hey, I think I’ll play some OW!”
Oh wait, that’s what usually happens to me. I’m kidding.
Actually, I like to wind down, listen to music for a bit, then, if I feel like it, I’ll join a spontaneous match of OW. I tend to get better results that way.
Don’t think I really have a “ritual” of any kind beyond just making sure I’ve got a full glass of water on my desk, and I quite often forget to do even just that, and then when I go to take a sip after a match or something and notice that my glass is empty, I get annoyed at my past self for not looking out for me.
Some of the best games of OW, the ones you’re glad you played are spontaneous. They don’t require a lot of forethought, you just want to play.
I had 1 of my best matches on Circuit Royale like that. I think you’re more in the moment for games like that. Could’ve been I just had a really good vibe.
