ranked anxiety

YO. anyone in here got tips/advice on ranked anxiety? ive been struggling a lot to just q up recently cause ive always played with other people but nobody i duod with before plays anymore. i just dont want to lose to the point i wont even play. i tried the whole "i dont care if i lose" attitude for a while and it had the exact opposite effect where i just hard trolled all my games and dropped like 2 full tiers and learned nothing. help Prayge

Although trying to play in lower skill groups is a bad thing (don't do it), it can help to play on an account you don't care about to try things out or just play and care less. You may even make that your main eventually. Just try not to get attached to a rank on any account. Life's too short.

Not caring if you lose and not caring if you play well are 2 different things

may try that on the side. i have probably spent an unhealthy amount on skins for my account that i dont want to lose tho lol. but thanks for the idea i’ll think about it fair. i guessed idk how to not care about my performance

This is the the trap sorta. But honestly, every episode you lose a bunch of rr, and will get boosted by the matchmaker based on ur performance. Try to just be patient and let urself return to ur rank. And try not to play too much. Playing too much can definitely make you tilt.

(And also, whatever rank you end on, try not to sweat it. The only goal (THE ONLY GOAL) of skill based matchmaking is to prevent you from being matched against tenz and demon1. Even your rank is just another more laggy skill rating and that's it. Don't sweat it.)
