Yeeeh. That’s pretty much how I am now. I go a month or two between playing this game for real now. I’ll sneak in a match every week or two but that’s not enough. I’m even worse than I used to be, and I wasn’t particularly good before. Whenever I get one of those extended playing sessions it takes me at least a couple hours before I can even get a basic focus on the game. I’m not even gonna talk about how long it takes for me to get around to actually using my brain.
I get pretty pissed during that initial warmup time, but all I can do is be pissed at myself for sucking and just play through it.
^ Haha so true. Somedays you are doing the samething over and over. Or are pretty sleepy or tired but still keep the anger of not winning.
Take a break and then watch a badass 3s video and walk back into the fray. When you’re heart is in it you really think critically. Also dicking around in training mode for about a full hr will get you pumped and warmed up. Also with warm ups, sometimes you go in blind and without warm up and just get owned (usually execution or something else from this.) It IS a fun fast game so sometimes we skip that training mode and jump in. Then it becomes “Why aren’t I play like I did yesterday?” In your head you can tell yourself “Man its ok Im doing poorly because I didnt warm up properly.” But really you’re kicking yourself in because you still see the loss. Drill some tactics in training and come back.
I get in a mode of doing ok (What I would consider 75% of you best game) then start to ride on that. Before you know it, Im doing the same thing every game and it’s not good. I win against most guys, but then the new “OH NOES” guy of the lobby comes in to wreck all your shit.
