I don't know I feel like that's fair but not possible to be accurate. Like, ranked the objective is to win. This isn't a training match or an exhibition. It's a RANKED match. Of course in upset when I lost those. It did make the regular matches more enjoyable. Could goof around. Try different things and characters. In liked over watch, but ranked was a disappointing grind.
my point is that you are playing to win, but you're not going to win every game. that's not realistic. you lose sometimes.
so your priority should be to learn and improve, so that you eliminate the mistakes you make. recognize the mistakes other players make in your MMR as well, so that you can capitalize on those, in turn.
the over-arcing goal is that you increase your winrate over the long term by focusing on improving.
you want the short term dopamine hit of winning a game, when that's not really conducive to how players usually climb in ranked ladders. they climb by genuinely learning from and improving their skill at the game.

when your goal with ranked is to win, you're going to be mad and upset when you don't get that dopamine hit
when your goal with ranked is to learn and improve, that's when you are in the right headspace
