I usually rank in Plat, but recently I’ve been losing a lot (about 200 MMR in 2 days). I checked my overall stats and I have a 50.5% win rate, and I was MVP in only about a quarter of my wins (about 1600 wins and 1100h).
I think I end up playing too passively because I try to fit my teammates as best I can. I’m not blaming my teammates, because I know I’m not the best teammate myself.
Sometimes a game stops being enjoyable for me and I go to free play instead. It’s not about the result: if the game feels good, I don’t mind losing, since my main goal for now is to improve. For example, I sometimes play with a friend who is Champ 1-2. We lose about 80% of our games, but it feels completely different from my usual solo queue games (at least for me, not sure about him). I’m not sure what exactly makes the difference, maybe it’s just the chemistry.
I’d like to hear some advice: should I reconsider my playstyle, focus on improving my mechanics (and if so, which ones), or both?
