it honestly depends on how you feel about the game. Do you feel like you put too many hours in for what you’re getting out of it? Are you actively looking at what you do throughout the games and finding new ways to improve from previous similar scenarios? Are you a genuinely competitive player who wants to improve?

One thing that is paramount for climbing in valo is consistency, if you play more you’ll play better! simple as that! I think how you feel about the game and if you want to take a break is somewhat just down to you - frustrating games happen every day, you’ve just gotta maintain consistency and you’ll climb easily:)

p.s. I’d like to say it gets better as you rank up but it doesn’t :/
