User blog comment:Commander Marko/Is it possible to avoid a losing streak?/@comment-8008166-20130902184203/@comment-8008166-20130902190318

Let me elaborate:

These two Mantras coincide with each other. In every game there is a chance that i can win or lose because I have the ability to be sucessful.

If you put yourself in the midset that i am on a losing streak, then in your mind you will think that you will lose until a win appears therby playing worse than you usually are. If you go in with the midset that yyou can either win or lose then you know that you have a chance and that chance will be more in favor when you play better in which you know you can play alot better than a level 1. If you lose, that's ok, look at your mistakes (not just the team's) and reflect on them and then you will improve.

Skill always triumps luck. You have been playing this for ??? years now. You know how to play the game and the champions that you play. You are above making silly mistakes because you know how to play the champ sucessfully. For example, if you are a thresh or blitz player, you are above missing those hooks because you know how to land them and have been doing so for a long time know so you shouldn't miss. If you put yourself in that midset, you should not miss the majority of your hooks.

"But Leo, my team is bad". Well, if your team is bad, pay better. Play as if your the one who can save the team from defeat, and in reality it does only take one person, one hook, one shockwave, one flip, one let's bounce. If you play the best that you can then you can carry your horrible team to victory. As you grow stronger, so will the team.

So put yourself in these mindsets and you will definately play better. I hope this helps. (This is coming from a person who have winning and losing streaks too).
