bEtHeNs Players 289 posts Report post #6 Posted May 4, 2021 It is not maths how I deal with frustration but with attitude. You cannot be frustrated against all odds, so thing can only get better sooner or later is what I think. Songs titles. Sing something or watch your favourite singer in youtube, mostly good mood songs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[OLEUM] Margin_Walker Players 59 posts 5,339 battles Report post #10 Posted May 4, 2021 Some of the swings in fortune are pretty wild. I'm on a 10+ game win streak the last few nights, but have had similar slumps lately. Some of the losing streaks can be infuriating despite knowing that it all evens up in the end to find a natural WR. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bEtHeNs Players 289 posts Report post #11 Posted May 4, 2021 Try to set a damage or a xp minimun per battle so if you reach it you do not care if you win or loose. See you own game how it improves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[EUR] lossi_2018 Players 3,122 posts Report post #13 Posted May 4, 2021 My worst was 22-25 a couple of summers back, but I managed to break through the streak playing only 1-2 games a day and with my most liked ship (for me it is a CV) gradually the bad streak will go away but it will return so you better be mindful of that. Remember that some ships wont gel with us despite what others say, so stick to what you know very well. Frustration leads to more loses and the MM can 'sense' that, don't expect it to help you out. Help yourself, drop a tier down or two every other advice given here also may help. Disregard a couple of people pretending its a non issue (or worse) as while this forum gives them great pleasures and satisfaction it has turned them a bit callous or trollish 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dood, you're a 600battle newbie, you shouldn't be worrying about WR at this early stage of the game. A good strategy for curbing frustration at an online multiplayer game is to set a limit for loss streaks before you go and do something else. Say you lose three times in a row, just quit and go play a single-player narrative-focused game to detox and come back tomorrow to try again. If you're frustrated you're more likely to make mistakes that will lead to you losing again. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It obviously is... Rule of thumb (posted dozens of times on the forum) take a break after 3 defeats after 5 defeats you should stop playing for the day if that happens regularly, you should change ships, maybe even classes after each defeat to make sure you start the battle with a different approach 13 minutes ago, Eighth_Wonder said: I think I dump the account and start a new one use it only for crap matches (lol) It will not be different on the new account... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bEtHeNs Players 289 posts Report post #17 Posted May 4, 2021 In 20k+ battles for sure you have had very good matches, think about them. The day I have many defeats all together I think about recent days with mostly won battles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, You are a fairly new player. I suggest you grind 1 or 2 attractive lines to T5 and 6. So you escape the CV hell at T4. Then play T5 and 6 for long enough to get comfortable and be able to win 52% or more and do some useful damage. Find out which ship type suit you best, DD, CL or BB. No, not CV you pervert When you get a losing streak, play a ship you are comfortable in or take a break. Play coop or ops for a few games. GL HF 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get worse and worse since I progressed over Tier 4 For the first 200 battles and till T4, you have protected MM where you only meet other players with the same amount of battles (so basicly other newbies). And the rest are bots, which are 90% basicly who cant even hit you. You are playing hightiers, but you are way out of your league there, thus you will easily lose a lot of games. Sure, losing 15 games in a row is also bad luck, but part is also just playing badly. 4 minutes ago, Eighth_Wonder said: I have 20k+ with all my accounts I really cant believe that, when i see your stats on this account !?

I have 20k+ with all my accounts Still I cant handle frustration Stop buying into high Tiers, when you cannot even manage low Tiers. If you really have that many matches and you still play like that, no matter how many accounts you create, it will not get better. New accounts and throwing money at the game do not solve your problem. Improving your gameplay is the only way it will get better. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is correct Now, time for a bit of truth.... 1st - @600 battles you cannot judge teams or plays.... you don't know how to play yet. 2nd - you are far above your league, you only have 75 odd games in T2 - T5... don't play above T5, you will not learn anything nor contribute to the game. 3rd - look at your stats...anything above T1 is in the red...this means something.

Truth is you are a 40% player... Actually, no, you are not 40%. You are a novice player. You are learning the game. Your WR will be reflecting your level after 2000 games. So...after the truth comes the advice. Stay in low tiers. Learn the game. In high tiers you will not learn. You will be blapped very easy and that is no way to learn. Post replays and ask for commentary. Many good players will give you pointers and hints and try to show you your errors. Don't come to the forum to whine. It will just make people troll you. Best way to learn is to post your bad games and ask for critique. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
