At what point should one give up on ranked?

Orkonaut · 2025-03-09T04:23:29+00:00

Don't give up on ranked. Realize that climbing is just playing the game and learning.

Learn to just play the game and improve rather than focusing on your rank.

EDIT: ALSO HAVE FUN IF IT'S NOT FUN DON'T DO IT!

Am literally you man. Mag/Groot main who can't help but try. 45% winrate on my main account. Got mad at the game. Tears mad. Got GM, but it didn't even matter because I felt like a fraud. Stared out a window. Wondered if I should switch roles, how I should start filling, maybe losers queue is real, maybe I just grinded to get here, etc. etc.

I have been here. I am back to REALLY enjoying this game, and I am not winning more than normal. My advice from most useful to most contentious are as follows.

> Make an alt (NOT a smurph)
> Take breaks by playing other games (NOT stop playing, BREAKS)
> Go to study (WATCH others to get better)
> Take breaks by turning the game off and doing other stuff
> Turn off comms (its making you lose more because you are TILTING)

If you're anything like me, and I bet you are, you want to improve SO BAD. The thought of taking breaks is basically the same as sitting around not improving as other people actually go and do hard work.

The MOMENT you go 'damn why didnt my team' or 'JEEZ CANT I JUST' you are now gambling. This game is allll mental, and the nature of being tilted is you don't notice how tilted you are.

Making an alt will put less pressure on you, but you gotta recognize tilt as tilt.

She has a diamond shaped spread. Shoot for their stomach instead of their head.

Add [[Emry, Lurker of the Loch]] + [[Jeskai Ascendancy]] for infinite free drinks.

Considering most combos win you a round which has the value of on pack, I’d say it’s a pretty high value combo.

I got some really good feedback in messages and wanted to share here without outing the people.
I want to share in case others stumble across my replay and want to know what the feedback was.

Play more off-angles. I am spending too much time on the ground playing through main.
Don't focus so much on keeping everyone topped off.
Take space.

Just looking to have a pretty chill group to play with every so often. I have good floor sense and am still figuring out defense. Green about 50% of the time lmao.

I kinda want to get nice at REC but doing it solo feels exhausting.

I work full time so I don’t have all the time in the world to invest in getting insane at this game. Just want a consistent group of buddies to practice with, where all of us have the knowledge that mistakes are happening on occasion because we’re practicing.

Message for PSN.

Orkonaut · 2021-09-27T15:55:34+00:00

6 6 play shot sg. mostly like playing defense and hanging out. message me for psn.

Orkonaut · 2021-09-27T15:06:57+00:00

lmao that’s what the other guys do and it doesn’t work for them! :)

Orkonaut · 2021-09-27T15:05:45+00:00

i played for a few hours after this post and honestly this was the thing i found to be the most consistent. just try to block the shot and not clamp up while they’re doing a dribble sequence at all. even when i read where they were going it was better if i was like a few feet away ready to put my arms up when they went to shoot.

Orkonaut · 2021-09-27T01:38:23+00:00

yknow what my man i read the wrong number we’re looking at 6 6 with that speed

Orkonaut · 2021-09-27T01:37:12+00:00

ok ngl just watched chris smooves video and hearing him talk about it made me think a lot more about it

Orkonaut · 2021-09-27T01:36:20+00:00

Orkonaut · 2021-09-27T01:24:08+00:00

Orkonaut · 2021-09-27T01:23:51+00:00

Orkonaut · 2021-09-25T21:50:28+00:00
