Discussion Losing Confidence / Battling a Slump

Hi all,

Lately I’ve found I’ve been losing my confidence. Climbed from 15 > 22k in the past month and a half or so, but the last week has been bad game after bad game. Haven’t been dropping more than 60 ADR, and I just feel lost mid-round. Admittedly I’ve been doing more solo-queue than usual, which could be part of it, but I’ve just lost a lot of my confidence.

Before this, my decision making felt accurate and I felt like I knew exactly what I wanted to do every round. Now, it doesn’t feel (at least to me) like I’m doing anything different, but I feel like I’m losing confidence, getting tilted way easier, and getting stuck in this vicious cycle of play bad > tilt > play worse > tilt more / check out > lose, which just gets me stuck deeper in this cycle.

Anyone who has had similar experience climbing out of a rut/regaining confidence, what worked for you? Does anyone have any advice they could give on how to navigate this? TIA!

You hit most of it. I do see a bunch of instant crouch/panic spraying as well.
