Hi reddit.
I'm Alex, and my work is usually associated with psychology. Yesterday i've made post with complaing on my teammates. It was deleted, cuz everyone is complayning about smth that make tham anger.
So i want to tell something about TILT. What is it exectly, what to do with it, and how not to TILT while you're playing alot. I hope this sub will be helpful.
So lets start from the begging: Tilt originated as a poker term for a state of mental or emotional confusion or fruatration in which a player adopts a less than optimal strategy usually resulting in the player becoming over-aggresive.
So as in Val or any other games. There is 7 reasons of tilting
- Injustice - you are more unlucky than others
- Intolerance to looses - you cant stand about any kind of loose.
- Mistakes - you understand that you make mistakes, but cannot stop
- Narcissism - thoughts that everyone, but you is wrong
- Series of failures - just bad day
- Revenge - intentionally bad play wit aim of annoing someone.
- Despair - the desire to recoup, which drives into a vicious circle.
What to do with a tilt? Its realy simple: First of all - make everything comfortable to you. Look around. Is there something that could annoy you? Is there something that might distract you? Remove this factor first. Next, do some excercise. That will make you easier to focus. Then you went away, because of what you got tilt. Focus on that little thing. Further point by point:
- Please understand that 100% wr don't exist. They are divisible by 40 - 40 and 20. Where 40% - is winng without even your participation. Next 40% - is loosing that you cangadly influence. And only 20% of equal games, in wich you have to give all the best to win. And this 20% is and indicator of your wr.
- Play not for the win. Its just my advice. Play for your winrate. And always rember about 1st point⬆️⬆️⬆️
- Try not to dwepl on the mistakes you made. Analyze them so you don't commit more. Its simple. I'm streaming right for that.
- Even if you're Radiant rang. Everyone deservs to win. Do be so selfish. Next time you may not succeed. EVERYONE makes mistakes. E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E
- Its better just to dilute a bad day. Take a break, watch some cartoons, take a walk, do yoga. Do something that makes you a little bit happier. Besides the game.
- Rethink. Most of us enter the game to rest. Some might do something stupid by mistake. You dont need to insult them, or swear. It's just a game.
- It's impossible to recoup in this state of mind. Just take a break. May be for hour, may be for a week. Wait for that mood when you will realy want to play.
Thats all folks :) Take care of your mental health. Its important to all of us.
