How does everyone deal with those streaks of LFG losses? We all wanna win but not everyone has the addons or the pillar skills or the meta teams or the right team mates that synergize. When you get into those CR falls and watch your hard work fall away how do you come back? Curious how everyone deals. This PVP system doesn’t seem to do well with playing angry you just lose more.
PS: get gud is not the answer

i usually just log off and go to bed
Play/watch something else or just get off the computer.
Ugh yea, lfg can really be rough and seem like an abyss at times. Iv had groups where like all night team after team after team just dosent work out and end like 100 ratin lower.
I guess the key is to require voice and stay positive. When you get angry you just start trying to force plays that are not there.
Staying positive in voice too is espcially key, as people play much better when they are relaxed and not worried about you going off.
You will find stteady parnters in lfg though, but you’ll also have to weed through a lot of people too.
Honnestly if our tilted, justs get off or go do something else in game. At the end of the day it is a game and arena is just virtual points, dosent really mean anything.
Take a break and do something else. If I get tilted, the game isn’t fun, I end up making more mistakes because I just don’t care or something along those lines.
I just go play a few rounds of CSGO, or go into the other room and punch my healer because he’s my roommate and healers are always to blame.

Nothings more irritating then jumping on to get some arena, have fun, blow off steam and end up logging more p’ssd off then when you started lol…
Usually I’ll just put my partner on ignore, kick them from the group, and then send them a whisper telling them how worthless they are.

Depends on if im playing bad or not… If i’m playing bad i’ll just stop for a bit have a coffee and try again later. If my teammates are playing bad a lot of the time ill continue if they want to continue and just accept that it’s a bad sesh. If you can get through the tilt/ bad queue sesh it helps out your synergy. Honestly we could be winning and I’m playing bad and ill stop because getting carried isn’t really why I play arena.
Only thing I can’t stand is people who blame others for their bad play. I just remove people who do that.
“we’ll win next game for sure” - me on my 23rd consecutive loss in a row
“there’s no way we could lose 24 times in a row”

I’m pretty limited on game time so I usually don’t want to stop playing if I’m playing bad or we’re losing a lot. That said, my long time partner can get frustrated (it’s usually my fault lol) and to an extent managing our emotions is part of it too. We take a short break or switch to our Alts and we aren’t really worried about rating on them yet because we both suck.
It doesn’t help that we’re used to playing at higher rating so it can be frustrating feeling stuck at a rating we feel we’re “better” than. We’re just both super inconsistent and are having to relearn all of the classes (melee Hunter wtf?) after not playing for 8+ years.
Been there. Start throwing statistics out at that point. Regret only having one like to give. =/
His smile and optimism: Restored.
Just have to accept that it happens and use that day as motivation to do better in the future.
If you’re on a huge losing streak you were probably on a big winning streak at some point anyways so the universe is just balancing things out and then you can take what you can to improve from there and overall make your win rate much higher.
Take a bit to reflect on what is causing those losses as well, most of the time you can learn more from a loss than a win.
I try to keep queue sessions short, and if I notice we’re playing bad I usually set a threshold to stop playing.
blame my teammates, if they argue remove them from btag, or if its a rando hit them with “?” after a loss and leave party

I always have a couple toons i can queue with, if something isn’t working sometimes I’ll just try switching to something else.
Some days i can setup sweet cross cc say on Druid, sometimes i can’t so i play something brain dead like enhancement and slap my Forehead on my keyboard, press w and stormstrike when it lights up.
