Losing streak

[quote=Jebus McAzn]So I'm on... a 6 game losing streak. And I'm not sure exactly why. Each game we enter (it's a two-man premade, not solo queue, which makes the whole thing a bit more pathetic, doesn't it?) usually starts off very well. In one case we got an early first blood without losing any people and were up something like 10-3. But then we started losing fights, people were getting picked off, and we ended up losing the game. My match history shows one recent win after those 6 losses with Fiddlesticks, and that was a terrible game on my part. First of all, I don't jungle Fiddlesticks, and I completely screwed up my Drain timing early on so I ended up dying twice to golem >.> Second of all, their Teemo D/C'd at the very beginning of the match. So it was a 4v5 the whole time. And they were winning for most of it. Anyway, I don't really count that game as a "win". So I'm just going to be taking a break from normal games for a while - if I play anything, it'll be ARAM and IP farms, or possibly a normal game to test Maokai.[/quote]

[quote=xNamidaAme]I know what you mean my friend... I've been dual queuing with my friends, and yet my losing streak went up to an eight game losing streak... It's not like we're bad either, but for some reason, I just couldn't pull off any wins for the longest time. Even using characters I'm normally good with wasn't doing anything for me... But I have a suggestion, if you're open to them... I just took one game off, randomed a champion choice and played just for fun. It reduces the stress of a losing streak. That didn't mean I fed or anything, it's just that regardless of the outcome, it's be for the sake of playing, not for winning. Either way (win or lose), you'll get back into your groove soon enough. Good luck~[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]That's one reason I'm really excited to play Maokai. ^_^[/quote]

[quote=Adonikam]The greatest way to lose when you're ahead (IMO) is if your team stops pushing to farm jungle creeps and don't just get Baron and push all three lanes hard. IF you let the enemy farm at their base too much they could ace you under a turret (respawn timer is huge by this point) and you simply lose to a massive push.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]The reason we lost in most of my games is because we were winning team fights and one or two people get cocky and end up getting picked off by the enemy team, causing us to lose the resulting team fight, letting them snowball into a victory. For some reason, they weren't making those mistakes. I suppose it's teamwork and coordination that wins the day. God, the most bitter loss of today was a game with Malphite I had, 2v1 in top lane. I was laning with a Shen and a Gangplank, and after 2 minutes in lane, I could tell that they were both terrible players. So I end up getting 4 kills in that lane within the first 20 minutes, but we still lose the game because their Ashe literally carried their entire team, while our Caitlyn was bitching about my friend (who plays Shen) not tanking well enough. I mean seriously, when you've overextended into their jungle and you get 5 man ganked, you should be glad that Shen even risked his ass to ulti you, not be pissed that he dashed away instead of into them. I hope that this will change when I start playing Maokai. He looks like the first new champion I'll have fun playing since LeBlanc.[/quote]
