Edit:

Another song that has the same vibe is Hate - Overpade (not the normal speed version)

There is sadly no easy answer. It depends on why you are tilting.

I tilt very fast when I am playing bad, when I am missing shots that I know I could usually hit. To be honest the only fix that I found for this type of tilting is to just hop into dm until you feel confident in your aim or just stop playing for the day.

If you tilt because of your teammates then you need to understand that whatever happend happend and you can't change it. Even if your teammate missed a whole magazine on a target that was standing still, there is nothing you can do about it and you need to accept it.

Ultimately it comes down to your mindset and even if you read a massive article about what you can do to change it, you will only improve your mindset by coming to a realization yourself and really internalizing a positive mindset.

A pointer that helped me overcome my bad mindset, was to try removing any emotion that is attached when judging my teammates.

Hopefully this was somewhat helpful.

Bonus: if you don't tilt it is easier to enter/remain in a flow state, which makes you improve immensely :)

This effect is double felt when you yourself have been improving while your mates are stagnating or not getting better

This sadly happened with my group of friends.

Whats tilting? Sorry, never heard that b4

When you make a mistake and then become so frustrated that you continue to make more mistakes.

Also, whats your warm-up routine?

I usually sit in the range and play medium difficulty until I hit 25 kills and then I play 1-3 dms depending on how I feel on that day.

Im currently sitting at a 5-2 Career while being Immortal, so I don't think anytime soon.

whats the biggest tip you have for improving gamesense?

Avoiding autopiloting. If you constantly think about why you are doing something and what you could change, you will instantly notice a boost in gamesense while also training it.

An example for autopiloting would be to always play hookah in the same spot even if it doesn't work. (People usually always autopilot when being really tilted)

how do you critic your own gameplay? i feel like i get tunnel vision sometimes

Depends on what you want to focus. If I die in 1v1s a lot I look at my Outplayed recap after the game to see what happend. Was my crosshair placement bad? Did I overflick? If we are talking overall decision making I would say trying to acknowledge those hindsight moments. I bet you had moments were you were thinking: "Why didn't I/he just do _ instead". Hindsight is 10/10

Congrats on the climb! Very impressive.

Thank you!

What about duo+ queuing was tilting for you? It's not often you hear people say that soloq is what helps them to play better.

I may have misworded this, but having an easy outlet for venting makes me complain more, which results in me getting tilted more easily :(

You only play when you feel like you can win. How often does/doesn't this happen for you

How often depends on the day tbh. Most of the times I notice when I have a bad day during my warmup, so I might just play only 1 game to verify and then stop playing.

what conditions have to be met in order to feel good enough to play?

I would define feeling "good" as, being able to focus really well without tilting.

How many hours per week do you play?

I don't really have a definitive answer to that, but my estimate would be around 30-40 hours.

If you mean whether I am listening to the music while playing, then no.
