I lost 8 games in a row.I just can't focus on playing, cause in my mind there is always this thought that I lose.I tried different heroes, and it didn't work.If i win just 1 game, i will be happy and play good again.But i have no idea how to get out of this ****.How can i win a game, just 1.Sometimes i lose cause there is a hero like Riki for example.A pubstomper.I picked BH, i trakced him all the time, bought wards, sentys, everything just to keep him low, but it never works. I don't know.I have to get out of this.How can i win just 1 gamme, just 1.

Been there done that man, the win will happen, you just gotta try to focus on self improvement and not worry about what the final outcome is. I just played a game where thee was nothing i could do to help us win, we had 4 people trying to farm the jungle midgame(yes four) and our crystal maiden with 800 health bought a midas and deso lol. YOU just try to play your personal best, noobs will be noobs.
I got to Notable, Thanks!

Take a break from the game for a day or two, and come back feeling more relaxed.

As it is, you are probably tilting a little, which is bad for your play. You'll become so focused on getting that win that it negatively affects your play, and thus actively decreases the odds of you getting the win.

I had a 5 game losing streak like this last week, and I actively noticed I was tilting as a result of it. So I did just step back.

That and just don't focus on the win, focus on playing well.

Since you just can't have enough Chaos Breaker.

Come to the inhouse! (Is there even one?)

Or change your focus. Sometimes, you don't need to win to have fun. I've had lots of fun even when I lose. In fact, the best games I've ever had are games that I lost.

So cherish those moments. :)

Step 1) A nice, stiff cup of coffee. Black. Preferably Blue Mountain, because that stuff is amazing.

Step 2) A nice, high percentage bar of dark chocolate. 70% cocoa or higher. Perhaps with chili pepper.

Step 3) Pick one of your favorite heroes, preferably one whose dialog you enjoy hearing no matter what.

Works for me when I get on losing streaks. Zen = win.

Take a break and do something relaxing. Then put everything in the "zone"(for me it's having A glass of water by the comp, keyboard at a certain angle, music playing from spottily, etc.)

Then play an unranked match with a hero you love. Just instapick it, unless it has a real, real, real hard counter(like don't pick phantom lancer until last second)

Then play mostly by yourself. Don't talk into he mic, just ping the map if you have to. That always makes me feel better, even if I lose.
when a thing is done, it's done. Don't look back.

Undead, I think you should talk more with your teammates and stop going for octarine cores on supports like cm and venomancer. It's a big deal, trust me
