How to deal with a losing streak?

[DeadFish]

I was going to ask why matchmaking is so broken, but no, what i really need is help. (I play 75% arena and my least played mode is conquest btw) I am about to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ break something because i haven't won in 6 games due to mass incompetence, people way better at the game then me, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ instant win wombo god combos, and always having to play gaurdian because i have 3 assassins and a hunter autolocked.....how do i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fix this?! How do i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ go on when this is always happening?!

just bad luck, 6 lose streak isnt that much, ive had a 20 streak and that was quite horrible
your gonna get all sorts of random teams bad and good when you play arena, its very casual and loads of people like to try different things, some people just play odin-zues-hun batz-ares type combos all the time
the matchmaking system itself isnt great compared to a multitude of different games, i do think they are working on making it better but who knows

You can't. They don't care about matchmaking. You gonna lose over and over again.

Firstly it happens to all of us. Secondly don't feel forced into playing guardian or warrior. Play what you want or like. If someone autolocks they don't get to tell me what to play or how to build etc. I am not sure how well seasoned in the game you are but just try to learn each what each god will do and try to counter that when you know your team is going to constantly leap into abilities etc. Unfortunately bad players do exist and trolls do exist so there is a bit of luck involved in getting a good team.

I have had many games where I just can't land a spell to save my life.

try and add people that seem to try and work together. after a while you should have enough people on your friends list to have a premade which should greatly help with people just doing their own thing and autolocking.

outside of that just try to encourage your team in a nice manner to do X (depending on the situation depends on what you say just as always try and be nice about even if you are yelling at your screen about how stupid they are lol) but in the end without a premade you will always get those who wont listen, those who dont care, and those who just want to try and set you off

another piece of advice (helped me back when i used to play wow and had a harder time controlling my anger than i do now) would be to put a punching bag next to your desk if possible. its a nice way to get some anger out real quick and also not break anything. just obviously be careful where you put it so it doesnt fall over after being hit and break something XD

I wish you good luck in your adventures :)

Sure, matchmaking is the only reason you lost, not own incompetence.

Not really... the match making in this game is trash, I wouldn't say that this guy is incompetent because his team is bad and the enemy team is pretty good at the game.
