[quote=The_Nameless_Bard][quote=Vapora Dark][spoiler]Hey OTG, want my advice? Fuck waiting for you to answer that though, read on if you want it, ignore it if you don't. You should stop taking ranked so seriously, you seem to force yourself to play it to get your rank up rather than because you want to have fun playing League. The fact that you've apparently been playing OPs just for the sake of playing OPs makes it sound likely. I can't speak for other people, but in my own personal experience, I've always done [b]much[/b] better when I just didn't give a fuck about my rank. In season 3 it took me months to get to gold. Once I'd finally got it, I decided it was time to relax, no need to grind ranked any more because I had plenty of time to get plat before the season ended. So I started just playing ranked casually whenever I felt like it purely for fun, and I casually climbed to gold 4, gold 3, gold 2, gold 1... Before I knew it I was plat within a month or so after struggling to get to gold from silver 1 for months, and I hadn't even been trying to get it. Then once I hit plat, Diamond became a realistic option and the grind began once more... Only to go on such a big losing streak that I went as far as to gain 6 LP per game in plat 5 before my MMR finally fixed itself. I never even got Diamond that season. And this season it was the same, at the start I tried to grind my way from gold 1 to plat 5 to get diamond ASAP, only to fail miserably and and get demoted until I was bouncing back and forth from gold 2 and gold 3. Eventually my grinding came to a halt when I finally hit plat 5 after 200 games, having previously been a plat 1 player. I kinda gave up on Diamond for the time being after that as it seemed obvious that I wasn't that level of a player. And then I created hey its talon, a Talon only account I was just going to play on "casually", "for fun". And boom I hit diamond in 100 games. 80 games later I had diamond 1 MMR in diamond 2. Then, the grind to Diamond 1 began. And boom, loss streak again. I dropped down to diamond 3 and lost like 5 games in a row at 0 LP before giving up on my diamond 1 dreams for the season. Then I climbed from plat 5 to diamond 5 on my main in no time once getting Diamond didn't feel like a big deal to me anymore. See the pattern? Every time I don't give a fuck about what my rank is, I climb faster than Thalia Kael's mom onto my dick, and every time I try to get to a specific rank, no matter how near it is, I tilt and drop faster than my dick when I see Luther's mom. The morale of the story, is that we both need to learn, to STOP GIVING A FUCK. Don't pay attention to your LP, don't pay attention to your division. It's unnecessary information. Play whatever you want, whatever you find the most fun. Sure you'll still get mad about losing if you felt you played well, so do I, even in normals. But the difference is that rather than thinking "fuck sake man now I'm 0 LP again", you'll just be raging about whatever happened in that game. Then once you get into champion select you'll have forgotten all about that game and can start the next with a hopefully positive outlook. If you're focusing on your rank, then you'll still be thinking about it even during the next game, praying that your retarded ass team doesn't give you another loss and get you demoted or- See, thinking about that does you absolutely no good. Forget about it. Ignore your LP, ignore your W/L, ignore your rank. Play for fun. Ranked is your new normals. Play Graves, play Viktor, play Jayce, play whatever you feel like playing. Focus on enjoying each game, not on the grind.[/spoiler][/quote]So true. I was like that last season. So focused on "getting out" of wherever it was that I kept getting more stuck.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I'd say you could use "my face", but that seems a bit too self-deprecating, even for me.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Why do you people always quote me while I'm editing...[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark][quote=Luther3000]Why do you people always quote me while I'm editing...[/quote] Well how about you try making up your mind once in a while... Ever thought about that, Luther? >:l[/quote]
