LoL Season 14 Ranked Tips: Don't Get Tilted
You need to keep a good mental attitude to make sure you play your best. If you get stressed out or tilted, you will be prone to more mistakes and frustration, causing you to lose games you could have won.
It is completely okay to have a bad streak, League of Legends matchmaking is not very reliable as it can just place you in tough matches. What matters is that you learn from the mistakes you have made, take a breather, and go again with a fresh mindset.
A player who is calm and thinking straight has a higher win rate than a player who gets lucky but gets emotional once the winning streak is over. You need to remain focused and give yourself some space between each game to analyze how it went so you can try again in the next one.
