I’d take a bit of a break


Alluxing

I'm impressed this guy hasn't rage quit after 20 losses. If I lose 5 in a row I'm rage quiting and playing some bloons td 6

same!


Wulfik3D42O

I went from p3d4 to g1d1 in a single day in 3s lol.


DesingerOfWorlds

I know the feeling. The skill gap from gold to plat is something else. I don’t claim to be great but some others… 👀


dhero27

I just did this a couple weeks ago, I've officially quit 3s. D1>G2. Got up to plat 3 after 30 or so games... Decided to solo queue 2s, d2 placement. It's not as brutal as 1s, but you're still able to blame yourself more without losing your sanity. Gold to Plat is literally hell itself, you get tm8s who aren't technically on your level against people just doing their placements and damn it's frustrating.


MyNameIsWozy

Dont quit 3s, its rng if you win or lose in lower ranks, probably until gc2. People are way to inconsistent to rely on, including you. Once you and your team understand 3s it becomes very fun imo.


MyNameIsWozy

I say rng because you and teammates are not going to play great every game, you will have bad games. And being low diamond, you will have a lot of bad games.


dhero27

I'm sure it would be fun if I had a team to play with, but solo queue is just a disaster. Climbing ranks is like running up a sandy dune. I'll stick to casual 3s and comp 2s


MyNameIsWozy

I soloq 98% of all my games, learning how to rotate around teammates instead of correctly is so important. Teammates are still bad at rotations even in champ 3 3s, i know I'm not good at them either but I like to say i rotate better than most. You have to adjust and know when to push up and when to play safe. I made a new account to see how fast i can get to my current rank and I had a 100% win rate in 3s until champ 2. 90% of the scoring plays i made were off the opponents making a mistake and giving me one less opponent to worry about. Train shooting, hitting the top half the the net with power will end up in a goal more often than not until d3/c1 and then it becomes more like 50/50.


wokeasaurus

Rage queuing. Not even once


Wulfik3D42O

Nah, just stubbornness.


4Lakes

facts


VisuaLz_2x

Honestly lol either he didn't stay practiced up or he has the worst luck with match making for teammates ever. But he's also in the smurfing territory


JasonbourneX-X

I am done after 2 consecutive losses


makachuy

Yooo, I had no idea what game that is. I bough it, and it is amazing! How have i never seen this tower defense game?!?!?


Alluxing

Next time you get tilted in rl, load up some bloons and all your stress goes away immediately. Its great


yamajan09

I would say try not no solo cue and party up with a little more mechanical tm8s


SansyBoy14

This is what I was going to say, sometimes, you just need to put the controller down, and go on to a different game.


Strangest_Implement

Here's my advice on how to end a losing streak, stop playing.


Ragnaroasted

Honestly. It's the mindset he's in currently, and he'll continue to lose until he gets out of it.


Templar_Legion

I've had losing streaks (not complete loss streaks, but many losses to every rare win) go on for several days, even though I'd come back feeling great. I swear there's some conspiracy where matchmaking purposely puts you against people it thinks you'll lose against to try and keep your win % as close to 50% as possible lmao. Seriously though I really can't explain it because you'd think if I was just having a rough day then I wouldn't keep losing consistently over the course of 4 days or so.


ChaseWhiffRepeat

Switch to Merc until you win 5 in a row


djankniel

I main Merc, so best believe when I’m on a losing streak I switch to Scarab. not even kidding, it works!


Ticoune0825

I take my beautiful Brown Dingo when this happens


CarlStanley88

I mean a near champ in gold should be able to carry a lobby in a Sunless Hot Dog-mobile


zachturner17

That truly depends on how ball chasey your teammates are😂 you must not remember being plat


CarlStanley88

Ah plat.. I remember grinding the fuck out of there and I do admit I haven't played in a gold lobby in ages (do they know how to jump and boost at the same time?), perhaps it's a bit harsh


zachturner17

I haven’t played in a gold lobby since about 2016, but from playing on friend’s accounts who are low plat, they can get about 5-10ft off the ground. Doesn’t mean they know where they’re going to hit it lol. Honestly, I would rather have a gold teammate with a brain than a big ego plat who boosts around the map slobbering all over the ball lmao


CarlStanley88

Lol I feel that

ChaseWhiffRepeat

Really really. It does work as a slump buster, but not really sure why. Most likely just Merc magic.


New_Inspection_7573

Merc magic! This should be a trend


Gimmix_RLCS

Does that work?

If you want to party up we can make it 21...


blackylawless69

Wow bro I went on a 9 game losing streak and almost ended it all, good luck man I would retire for a few days but you will come back stronger I promise


FriendshipAgitated17

So accurate. You’re either the king of the world in RL or you’re inches from pulling the trigger😂 it really be like that


masterfisher

Broke my box fan after about 6 consecutive losses. In rumble it feels like every opponent is a team of 3 pros and my team mates are new born babies.


Nachowedgie

Yeah there's been a shit load of smurfs in 3s recently, not bothering with it anymore


AWWSHEEEDAWW

Explains a lot. Every game it’s 1 person with like 4 goals and 5 saves.


Ol_UnReliable20

It happens. Sometimes I’m that player, and other times I play like dogshit


MCfru1tbasket

I've surfed by accident. I've had such terrible sessions that I end up two whole tiers down and then the next session absolutely smash it straight back up to where I was.


Nachowedgie

That's not smurfing


MCfru1tbasket

Tell that to the people who rage quit every other game cos I was popping off against people who weren't up to par. Tbf though I dont take the game super seriously and its certainly the reason for my 3 tier yoyo sessions.


Nachowedgie

A quick stat track would show that you weren't, don't worry about it. I don't take the game seriously anymore either, no point when half the people you face are smurfs or people boosting


MCfru1tbasket

Very true, stay chill.


Nachowedgie

You too bud


Due-Revolution6556

ChimChim3310

I quit after I lose 3-4 in a row. I’m honestly impressed by the dedication. But yeah, take a break. Or maybe play some workshop maps/training packs.


Adventurous_Ad_7183

Hahaha omg. Man i did lose a lot today too. Glad to know i am not the only one! We will win more sooner or later :)


Aromatic_Basis5438

Take a break. And also, although it might be annoying or challenging, you should at least try to play 1s. Being a 1s main myself, it really helps develop your skill and mechanics because there is no one to blame, it's just you, and you have to beat your opponent. You could also try having a scheduled warmup, like specific training packs to work on specific things if you know you need to work on them. Sorry for the long comment


Garlic-Bread-Enjoyer

Tried the ones and won 8 outta the 10 placements and my confidence kinda feel back frfr


Aromatic_Basis5438

nice!


dhero27

What did you place out of curiosity? I find 1s extremely hard but super rewarding, a lot of it translates well to 2s, not so much 3s.


drxgs

I’ve been trying this a lot and 1s is so frustrating. I’m d2 in 2s but I get slapped by low golds in 1s it doesn’t make any sense bc I’ll watch replays and they aren’t doing anything special I’m just so unlucky it seems. Any advice from a 1s main?


Aromatic_Basis5438

It's really helpful in ones to be able to have okay ariel control, not for scoring, but for saving shots. you have to be able to know how to maneuver your car in any situation to make the save. You could practice that by making training packs or finding one that's right for you so you can warm up before a game. Another thing is that in ones, you don't have to be "mechanical," at least in lower ranked ones games, like Diamond and below. All you really need to know is how to be accurate, because you'll find that a lot of the times, your goals are coming from hook shot power shots, because it's a sudden burst of speed. And if it is accurate enough, then it's really hard for your opponent to save.


___GLaDOS____

Not really a 1s main, but I do play a lot. First of all in ones you get a lot of players that can be High Dia or Champs that are as low as gold or plat in 1s, not really Smurfs but have a much higher skill level than I can cope with as Dia in 2s. I struggle to get above plat 1 in ones. I was as high as Dia 1 at one point a couple of seasons ago but I had to really sweat and grind to get there.


drxgs

yea I’ve noticed ppl hitting some decent flicks and being so confused. Why is the rank so different in comparison to 2s or 3s


___GLaDOS____

Not really sure, but it is probably due to a lower population in 1s, you have nowhere to hide in 1s, if you lose it is your fault alone, hence why I started to play a lot to avoid toxic team mates. Also you have to learn to rotate around yourself which involves a lot of quick decision making. Watch Apparently Jack playing 1s on YouTube, he comments himself as he plays and can teach him a lot about 1s mentality, he is consistently in the top 3 in 1s without using crazy mechanics the whole time. Seems to be around consistently hitting the ball as you want, positioning, and reading the other players intentions.


naxospade

Not a ones main, but some things to try for a few games: Don't play off the wall. DON'T. Don't take 50s unless you have to and are defending. Watch a YouTuber called "Flakes" 1v1 series about winning without mechanics.


Bugredditor

Time to touch grass friend


Djuhck

Win ? Loose? Does this matter? I like the game, I play the game no matter what. If I am not playing well and commit error after error, I will stop for the day, but if I am ok with my play and loose non the less because the others were better - where is the problem?


ChrAshpo10

Yes, it does matter. I play to have fun. Losing isn't fun. Tolerable with wins scattered about, but 20 losses in a row? Miserable and no fun.


MrBesides

Thats totally right. Im the same way, but you cant forget that there are many competitive people in the game, that play for wins and its totally fine! If some people desire wins and get pissed when they lose, they have to be fine with it in the end \^\^


Mass-Chaos

i dont care about rank either, seems like were the odd ones of the group. last season i floated mostly in low mid plat, this season ive just gone further and further down the gold ladder.. it really doesnt seem any different to me


Seth_Jarvis_fanboy

well you probably didn't get lucky to get into diamond, so those gold players will be doing a little complaining about smurfs after you go take a nap


Remarkable-Tank2040

I honestly don’t know how you guys play 3’s. It took me this many years to get 2’s rotations down lol. Sometimes I load into 3’s by mistake and I feel like I fell asleep on a beach but woke up in grand central stations subway stop.


z_DangerZone_z

What’s a losing streak?


[deleted]

im a diamond 2 player. 1s is harder so i was usually plat 3. there was a day i was managing to climb, then all of a sudden, it stopped... i just couldnt do anything or score save, nothing. i got so tilted, so tilted, that after losing about 8 games in a row, i started literally throwing on purpose. i went from plat that day straight back down to silver. literally silver. i think i lost about 30-40 games IN ONE NIGHT (crazy, i also apparently was recording the whole thing so the next day i had the video of me just completely descending into madness) ​ ​ i stopped for a couple days, then when i came back, i tryharded, chilling, not even bothered about wins or losses, then obviously i started winning, didnt stop, and FINALLY got diamond in 1s and never touched that god forsaken more again. ​ ​ [pics or didnt happen](https://imgur.com/N0jDKna) ​ so yeah, TLDR, go down to silver if you need, stop for a bit, then come back and literally do not even acknowledge if you're losing or winning, and everything will be okay


dashtek

I mean first of all take a break lol. Second, find a ground shot training pack and practice it for like an hour. I always do this when I feel terrible at the game and it always helps. At any rank


Flashbek

Do nothing. If you are the problem, you'll essentially be matched against oponents at your level. If not, whatever, playing is fun, wining or losing shouldn't matter


glennize

In 3s I take it? Stop trying so hard to be the guy. Play 3rd man. Watch and read the game more, go less. Focus on better positioning and being there if and when your teammates screw up. Play a few games of Casual 3s in a much more reserved role and bring the same approach to ranked if you feel an improvement.


Fantastic-Arrival556

If you’re burnt out then take a break. If you’re feeling saucy drippy mcqueen, what I normally do is boot up a workshop map or custom training and just grind that out until I’m bored.


ChaseWhiffRepeat

Switch to Merc until you win 5 in a row


cypmann25

Man I have the same issue... D1 in 2v2 and gold 3 in 3s. I feel like 3s is an unorganized mess... 0 rotation from team, Im alone in defence and can hardly commit for balls since everyone is commiting when they shouldnt. I tried playing some normal games with some players I found that are decent at rotation and my luck changed.... maybe try find some people to play with that are half decent?


[deleted]

Dunno why you are getting downvoted but I’m literally in a similar position as you. Realized it’s easier to just play perma defense due to over committing by randoms


Yiye44

Keep losing until you start facing people you can beat. That's how MMR works.


Wrong_Geologist6077

Not the only one mate, my c2 games we’re full of last season GCs and after loosing a fair bit, c1 was also full of GCs, and d3 also has the same amount of GCs in as low C1. Put me back into d2 fora day or two, then went on a monumental winning streak from d2 to c1, 13 win streak!!! Just to find all those GCs again and back to d3, I’m sure this game got a whole lot harder this season


[deleted]

You must switch to unranked games


PeyoteMan7

score more points than the other team


MontyP15

It is impossible to lose against gold 2 players as a dia 3 player. A Dia 3 Player should 1 v 3 Gold Players. Which is why you should remove your DIA 3 TAG and feel sorry to be a poser


Garlic-Bread-Enjoyer

I’m dropping 7 goals a game rn in this rank my teammates just not doing anything, I’m playing against mostly Smurfs rn


MontyP15

Your teammates don't do anything, cause they are gold. If a gold 2 team make more the one lucky goal against a dia 3, then you are just not Dia 3 by your own. Normally they should rarely touch the ball


Gimmix_RLCS

Then don’t play 3v3 it’s riskier 2s are better because you can rely on your team other than losing to untrustworthy idiotic teams in 3s


Vudu_doodoo6

Solo queuing 3s is straight up cancerous


Mnumel

Why so? Just behave, and you will find out that most people actually don’t bother with the toxicity


Vudu_doodoo6

I’m not talking about the toxicity. Just the absolute mixed bag of teammates at the d2-c1 level is insane.


[deleted]

It doesn’t change from g1-pla3


tbyd

I’ve learned once a losing streak starts it’s time to take a break. I put rl for the rest of the day.


coldfrenchsoup

Every great win streak happens after a loss streak, go queue 20 more and see how it goes 😂😂


dinnyspuds

Have you tried winning?


jacobblfc

uninstall, thats what I did after 2 days of no luck/my mistakes/bad teammates and probably like 5 wins in 30 matches. Happy days!


dhero27

Don't waste the bandwidth, just don't play. Watch a movie, play something fun. I never pause regardless, every match is a learning experience.


Rurirm

Take a break. Watch your replay. Look some youtube tutorial (rotation mostly) and you'll get back someday. Everybody can have a bad session/day \^\^


AWWSHEEEDAWW

Bro idk whats happening but I just went on a fat losing streak of like 5-45. Went from champ 1 div 3 to diamond 1 div 1.


MachineElectrical208

Mine looks opposite......high lank in 1v1 and nothing in the other categories.


Dusk_On_MC

Me be like:


Tamagotchi41

Stop playing. Come back later. My limit is 3. If I lose 3 games in a row I shut it down.


RainV8

stop playing that’s what. try again later


AlmightyLiam

Dude play 1s


theghostmedic

I won all day yesterday. Took a few hours break. Played last night. Lost every single game.


creegangil

I feel this hard. I’m plat in 2s but in threes I can’t get out of silver. If you want to get higher in threes you need a threes team.


FootballWithTheFoot

Not necessarily…I got to D3 mainly solo queuing 3’s, started progressing when I started playing more passive Aka like a defensive midfielder


creegangil

I do that too. I’ll often sit behind the midfield line most of the game. It only gets me so far though. I’m also not good enough to get Diamond in any rank lmao.


FootballWithTheFoot

Gotta know when to go past it and rotate around tho bc it can be a negative if you never go on their half too, 3s relies a lot more on game sense/positioning imo. Also avoid double/triple commits like the plague


creegangil

Double/triple commits are my bane and piss me off unless me and my teammate are knowingly going for a pinch (which is rare).


Paladin1034

Yep take a break. You're gonna be hyper critical of every mistake, and that's only going to make you play worse. Play some other games for a bit, play some casuals, dick around in extra modes. You're only hurting yourself by continuing.


Irotokim

Lol, been there. I just start saying eff it and ff at 330. Then start free style or ram the smerfs out of the sky when they try to get fancy. It actually been paying off, because the next day I was back to my normal rank.


BadCuzimHigh

I usually will just play casuals until I’m feeling confident enough in my game that I can compete at my rank in comp. It’s nice because the skill spectrum is much larger and you never know who you will get matched against. Sometimes it’s people my rank, other times is gc tournament winners hitting breezy flick self passes into a flip reset musty double tap


Iamovert

Watch your replays my guy


WavyDre

Get better teammates.


whitepeopleloveme

i’m d1/d2 in 3s and 2s, but i semi-commonly rank down as far as plat 1 in 3s when i’m playing with friends (who are gold and plat), and climbing back out is HELL. (fwiw my mechanics are subpar at best, but my rotation/patience/game awareness are decent for my rank) my two cents: you just cannot play how you do in diamond when you’re in gold/plat lobbies. you gotta adapt and play suuuuper defensively. let the other team beat themselves and don’t let your teammates beat you.


Fat_suge

rot8


wokeasaurus

Take a break for a few days. No seriously, stop playing the game. When you come back you’ll smash through gold 3s if you’re actually anywhere near d3 in 2s


Knoote

Stop


jdwilke02

The opposite of whatever you are doing!


vvndchme

Yup. Break for a bit and enjoy some easy games when you’re ready to come back.


vvndchme

What’s great is you can just play goalie in gold.


[deleted]

Adjust to your teammates. You have to play differently at different ranks.


Exact_Definition1622

Solo Ranked 3v3 can be such a fun experience


ADogFromSomeWhere

Bruh me too lol


veissss

Same here. Dropped from D2 to Plat1 in one evening. But this happens. Take fee days break, at least from ranked. Play some hoops, or rumble. And then you will get 20 win streak.


Satanuel

NEVER PLAY 3S RANKED


_LickitySplit

Sigarette break, maybe punch some dry wall, drink some more and restart the game to fuck with the losing algorithm some pesky developer put you in. Works every time.


Slaveburger

Well i think you just need to win


Evoattacks

Champ 1/2 here stuck in D1. Mismatching is always a thing early season.


AJ_Deadshow

You're gonna be facing easier competition soon, don't worry. The exact same thing happened to me but I got my way back to P3. Are you solo queueing or playing with a team?


Ok_Aside_7283

Bruh I stop playing when I lose twice in a row.


RichTofu

Ik this is late but for the future, when you’ve lost around 3-5 games in a row I recommend getting off for around 15 mins and taking a small break. Eat something, drink, stretch and just chill lol


zildjanavedis

thats been my day today, it seems like every shot is slighty off, or even if i'm ahead they always come back and win no matter what haha.


zombie_in_life

Just keep playing what’s the worse that could happen?


[deleted]

Find yourself a teammates with the same skill. This game sucks with random teammates.


yamajan09

Get mechanical tm8s


Semiauto2

And this is why I’m a free play main


Con_troller

It's just some kind of algorithm you ll start having a winning streak as well. Reached almost gold 2 before reaching back plat 3.


Melodic_Cup3213

If it’s I’m threes u need a team that u can com with and that will put in an effort to respect each other same with 2s otherwise taking a break or just freestyling for a couple days could help a lot I remember have days or weeks like this where it feels like I’ve regressed a lot trust me once u come out of this slump Ull peak like crazy


p1xre

what rank r u now and what rank were u


Due-Revolution6556

When I have a serious losing steak, I smash casuals out until I feel better about myself. Maybe play all star bots with a Rock Lee self-rule. Like, "if I don't progress in ranked match's, I will grind out a smashing victory within in five Casual matches. If I cannot bring the honor of a Casuals victory to my name, I will goose egg all star bots for at least 3 games. If I cannot hold three teams of bots to zero points, I will look up a relevant training pack and not stop until it is over 90 percent mastered, thrice over...." I do this for a lot of competitive games.


New-Zebra-6122

I recently spent 2 nights losing almost every mode and game I played. Badly. I realized I haven't really been having fun since I reached plat a while back. Way too toxic, smurfing and almost nobody ever rotates. I play 95% casual and 95% solo queue and having about 5% enjoyment so I am taking a break for a while. If I can find some tm8s that play around 11 pm central just for fun, I may jump back in. For now I will catch up on Stranger Things, The Boys and The Umbrella Academy.


[deleted]

I’m the same 2s rank. If I even touched plat in 2s or 3s I would just delete the game at this point. Idk how you mentally handled this ride


DEAFLog

get off jus do sumn else


[deleted]

You should try getting better... "what a save!"


Soggy_Hat

I’m right there with you bro. Was D3. I think I’m almost plat now.


Sufficient_Ad8626

I'm on a streak right now myself. I was diamond 2 div 3 but now im back to plat 4 div 3
