What do you do when you have a bad run?

[fnord_disc]

I'm sure we've all had our fair share of bad runs. Sometimes you win ten games in a row, sometimes you lose ten in a row. I have a really bad run in my Nagato right now, losing 10 out of 13 games or so and dropping me from 60% ship WR to 55%. Some of those games were just really bad teams (highlight was the Tirpitz division that bumrushed the narrow strait on Two Brothers at the beginning of the game), but I also lost games that I could have won if I hadn't made mistakes and bad calls.

 

I try to calm myself down and take breaks, but often I still play badly even after I had a coffee. What do you do when you have a bad streak?

[Gunship14]

Stop playing for the day, or at least a few hours.

[Fi_8_8_8_8]

Start playing more aggressive and start blaming others and WG more! 

 

[Seinta]

Sacrifice a virgin to Satan, if I keep losing ... sacrifice a second!

Drop down to tier 5 and Murmansk. Make money, cool off, get your daily confederate. It's good stuff.

Lol exactly what I was going to say! XD 

[ShockPirat]

Stop playing for a few hours, do smething else - watch a movie, go to the gym, read... Whatever. Then try again later and see how it goes.

Loss streaks make me annoyed and that makes me play worse. No point playing like that

Pfff..that below 60 noob again 

[FloRead]

I just play on, who cares? It's just stats and numbers.

[Valerius]

I hurry on to the forum and whine about OP ships, OP players, crap mechanics, biased MM, lack of skill "team" mates and cowards that don't want to fight. All in an effort to stroke my hugely inflated e-peen.

 

...and then I start another match

[MrRibz]

Beer........or vodka.

[MarcusFuriusCamillus]

Most people rage against WG/MM in the battle results chat.

If I had a buck for each time I saw this happen, I'd almost be able to pay for WG's bundlefest.

You sir.......are a funny guy. +1 and a hug 

[IamTroublemaker]

Sacrifice a chicken or a goat as a gift for the mighty RNGesus, sometimes he doesn't respond tho

 

I found that simply quitting the game to play something else or do something useful helps the most

[gizaman]

I stated out playing battleships but the annoying RNG is really getting on my nerves. A ship that is completely still can still be missed by a full salvo...

That is not good game design. I want to miss shots because i failed to calculate the lead on them. I want some consistency with hitting certain areas and getting citadel hits. There are fights where my shots seem to hit the same places as enemy and he do get citadel hits , I do not. It feels like the game is going down to luck than rather

skill. That annoys me really much. I begin to feel that the skill level in battleships is more going the right direction which often is 50/50 chance rather than knowlegde or skill.

 

So what could i do. I simply looked on other classes to play.

I do not like carriers. Played a few battles in beta...and has not played any since. My record is clean and will never play them. They are silly and lame.

Cruisers seem to not work well for me. After tier 6, i got a pensacola. It is the worst ship in the game period. Get hit my battleship is always at least 10.000 damage. If not one shot. It feels completely silly. I feel a bit that cleaveland schematics should be in upper tier cruisers aswell. They are really easy to blow out of the water.

 

This lead me to destroyers. My last hope.

Well the japanese branch is actually nice. Funny enough I think that mutsuki is better than minekaza. Is doing good in it. well so it feels. I am looking forward to hatsuharu in tier 7 ( it is fine in contrast to other tier 7 ships.) .

Is also tiering up in soviet dds but tier 4 is really a killer grind. Was nice in tier 3 but tier 4 sucks. I have more or less stopped. They seem good in area denial vs other japanese destroyers but the us can do the same.

Are in nicholas and perhaps the us is the best high tier destroyer. Simply because it gets better torp range + guns later on plus has good AA with defensive fire skill. At least it can get rid of fighter spotting.

 

I think i am going to play more destroyers plus now and then grem and warspite. Try another class if you really get angry at the game. Maybe that branch is just not meant for you. It is no shame to stop and analyse what you do wrong.

Play another game. Play coop and a smoosh some bots! play a different ship. I know I've had enough  if I start whining at the screen... Don't think about win rate. Concentrate on damage and kills. Sometimes good games are losses. 

[Reverend_Lovejoy]

Drink some more beer.

yup, and terrible games can be wins too

[JapLance]

Close the game and wait for another day.

ALT+F4

[FIyOrDie]

it is just a game , think of it like this and u will be fine ,

 

its not life just pixels ;)

[skotish]

I stop totally knowing WG made this happen to more than just me lol

[Admiral_noodle]

I'm getting annoyed with the potatoes on public test. I've got lots of tier X cruisers to play but what's the point when my battleships derp around at the back camping and losing the game. And I can't communicate with them because for some reason they seem to be Russian? Thought there was a Russian server? (Makes sense time zone wise for Eastern Europe to be online. I mean young people in the uk aren't up yet )

[rafparis]

Drink lots of vodka...

then you don't care because you are drunk...

profit!!!
