When you are on a losing streak, what do you actually do?
Be honest. Do you queue again immediately? Do you start blaming teammates? Do you play more aggressive trying to force a win? Do you go quiet and start playing scared? Drop your answer below! There are no wrong answers. Try to help who struggles, the best help gets pinned!

ima be honest here. i keep going until i win, but it never seems to break my mental until it gets to a point of deranking. i often get annoyed, but never take it too seriously. i know what i should do instead when it comes to loss streaks, but me and my duo just enjoy playing and having fun
Tryharding doesn't mean what you think.
Most players say they're committed. But they train when it's convenient. They quit the process on a losing streak. That's not tryharding. That's conditional effort. And it's destroying your potential. Because you never fully test yourself because you never fully commit. Not full commitment creates a loop. You are not fully disciplined because you're afraid to truly tryhard. That makes you worse. Being worse makes your motivation lower. Motivation lower less discipline. And most of you only tryhard if you know you can get there. The moment you attach your commitment to an outcome, you're already on the wrong path. "If I get Immortal it was worth it." That's conditional. That's not full tryharding. The players who maintain discipline sacrifice the outcome ENTIRELY. They tryhard on the process like a monk. They don't use Valorant as a reward machine. Be honest, you play for the reward, reaching a rank, going pro, showing someone you can be good... When you remove the outcome, the tilt disappears, the anxiety disppears, the fear of failure disappears... There's no "what if I fail?" because the learning itself is the reward. "Valorant is not life, Valorant is teacher of life." Play like you'd still do it if you never climbed. That's when you become invincible. Because there's nothing left to protect. No Ego.

this is good advice, but i think most of us and me myself find it really tricky to adopt this mindset. what could we do to help adopt to this mindset, and in a way, be more sort of nonchalant when we play and be more carefree?
How often do you check the scoreboard?
How often do you check the scoreboard during the game? And off the game? Drop it in the comments

i do it all the time. constantly, just out of habit. i do it to check im not negative, i need to stop doing that. sometimes i look at whether or not the enemy is doing really well or not. sometimes when my mental state is bad, i will choose not to take fights with enemies doing well. i have noticed that this is a really bad low elo mistake. i always look at the scoreboard to check enemies eco before the round starts, see if they can buy an op or not etc. but i always linger my eyes to my kda, my duos kda, and enemy kda. i know this is bad, but i always hit tab to check enemy eco and keep track of ults. what could i do better?

@NeuroShot Valorant ok thanks, i will condition myself to only press tab in buy phase to look at ults and eco. thanks for the advice!
🔒 Staying locked in when teammates don't listen
Ever felt like teammates never listen to your calls? It happens in silver. It happens in immortal. It never goes away. So if it never goes away, learning to stay focused while it happens is one of the most important skills you can build. Most players treat it like bad luck. They hope the next lobby is different. But the next lobby has the same problem. And the one after that too. Every second you spend frustrated at a teammate is a second your brain is not on the game. The players who climb are not the ones who finally get good teammates. They are the ones who stopped waiting for that to not happen. The actual skill is this. Staying fully locked in on what you can control, round after round, even when teammates are doing everything wrong. Not pretending it doesn't bother you. Not muting everyone and going solo. Just not giving the situation your focus. So tonight, every time a teammate ignores a call, say nothing and ask yourself one question: What does this round still need from me? Do this enough times and staying locked in becomes automatic!

he only has a few video but i say theyre useful to keep in mind. he advises visualising enemies behind the wall, but zasko says this is a waste of time. what are your thoughts on this?
