The Slump

I’m not tilting, no anger, no rushing…just a slump. Only goin on for a couple days but it’s gross.

What do you do when you fall into a slump? Slow shot, poor decision making, awareness is terrible, going negative…

Try to take things a bit slower, be sure that what your doing I beneficial, don’t just rush in. Odds are if they get first shot on you, your dead. Stick with your team, buddy system.

IMHO, play a different game all together for just a day or two. Nothing feels worse than performing in a competitive game at a level below your normal, and subjecting yourself to that personal torture will actually just increase the slump.

What I do is watch some pros stream on Twitch so mentally you get used to the timing of firing the weapons and moving within the game. Everyone has those times when nothing clicks and it’s frustrating.

I will sarcastically blame the req system. I just grind to get those silver packs as fast as possible…with the secondary goal to raise my kd above 1.0 (I got off to a horrible start with this game)…

maybe I should switch those two goals around…

Take a break, dwelling on it only compounds the problem

Good tip. I also find thinking in terms of NOT DYING being a good idea. Whenever I watch pros I remember how much they value their lives (in game;)). Generally when I’m playing really badly, or I’ve been ranked with a bunch of good players (I reckon I have a ceiling of about Plat 2-3 at best), I just focus on sticking with team, teamshooting, not dying, etc etc.

Trying not to get stuck in 1v1s when you’re off your game is a good idea.

I appreciate the advice y’all! I decided this morning as I saw it happening again to step out of my norm (SWAT) and go for a more social aspect in Fiesta. It helped…and was more relaxing. Just had to stop tryin so hard and have some fun with it.
