I am the same way. When I am in a losing streak, I want to keep playing to gain my rating points back, but then I just keep losing because I am not in the right mindset. So the better way I think is just to pause. Go do some tactics or something, or another task entirely, and then come back a couple hours later or the next day with a clean mind. Hope it gets better!! I'm sure it will.
How to deal with bad streaks?
Sort:
Seems like I am kind of an on/off player. Some days I play good, some days I play awful. Or should I rephrase that. Some days I play good for a beginner, some days I play just awful. I don't think I have ever really played good yet.
When I play bad, it seems like I start playing even worse the next game and even worse after that...
How do I break these cycles?
Now in a 5 game losing streak. No fun.
