Be real with yourself.
Here’s an example, you pick mid and lose your lane but wait, you get a lucky team fight 15 mins and you’re back in the game. The enemy tilts and you proceed to win. Don’t pat yourself on the back here, acknowledge your mistakes and lack of skill. Be real, you got lucky. Stop thinking shit like, “look, I picked mid and carried!”.
I always see this happening. People writing off their mistakes as not that bad and then praising everything they did as perfectly played. Let’s be honest, ya? Most of us have clocked thousands of hours into this game. You can tell for sure how well you’re doing to an accurate degree if you wanted to.
Watch your own replays and pretend that you’re a 3rd party. It’s very straightforward to tell if you played amazing, decent, average or shit. If you went 10-0-10, ask yourself honestly, did you really play amazing? Or was it that your enemies were bad? Or you got lucky? Or your team played really well?
I’m not saying to always assume you’re a shit player that gets lucky if he wins. I’m saying that in order to improve as a player, it takes an objective view. If you keep deluding yourself into thinking that it wasn’t your fault you lost or that every win was because of you, then you’re just going to stay in whatever shit MMR bracket you’re in forever.
