I have a 1/4 ratio, but instead of losing 3 games and then winning 1 like you would think, it's more like win 10 games in a row one day and lose 40 the next. It's honestly really frustrating how I get huge losing streaks that I couldn't prevent even if I was a legendary pvper. Constantly dying to teams of 3 that target me off spawn, dying to teams of 4 which all contain people with 1000+ wins. In fact, I think I'm really good at the game, but I just have horrible luck just like irl.

When I don't die in in a stupid way like from a team in the first 3 mins of the game, I actually win like 60% of my games. but I simply have SUCH bad luck. Don't believe me? I'll record me playing sg for an hour, then post it here. You'll see.

Anyways, I can't seem to find a way to break out of things like this. It makes me so mad (yes, Ik it's just a game) but still.. Does anyone have suggestions?

This might seem unecessary, but I'm going to track all of todays games-


NONE OF THESE ARE MADE UP OR EXXAGERATED
Game 1: Killed within the first minute when I had no weapon
Game 2: Killed within 2 minutes when I had no weapon (Because of course I spawn on the exact opposite side of corn from my route)
Game 3: Oh, a 5v5 of players with 1,000+ wins on Valleyside, they ALL TAKE MY ROUTE, and the other half of the map goes to the other routes. I get demolished by a 5 team of full iron when I have two armor bars.
Game 4: Team of two with 1000+ wins within first 2 minutes of the game
Game 5: Person with 500/1500 wins gets full iron within the first minute and chases me for five minutes... then says 2EZ when I die.
Game 6: 2 team with 500+ wins in the first 4 mins of the game. They say GET REKT when I die.
Game 7: Targeted off spawn by the same guy that killed me in game 5. Probably followed me into that game..
Game 8: Guess what?: I didn't get targeted in the first 3 minutes of the game, so I ended up winning. See how that works?
Game 9: Killed before I get weapon
Game 10: Killed off spawn.

When you see yourself going on a loss streak of like 10 or so, take a break. Go outside , get a snack. Then go back and play and you'll be good as new

A good tip is to play like 5 games then take a 15 minutes break. Playing many games in a row could be the problem. Like you said, you would go on a streak, be it winning or losing. Try to not play all of your streak games at 1 time. That could make it so you could win 4 games one day, then win 2 the next day, and you would still have a streak going!

As mentioned, only play a few games a day. Playing dozens in a day leads to losing streaks. One thing you definitely need to try is skipping corn more. This not only gives you a head start on your route, it keeps the targeters away. Ten seconds is a lot of time. Only go to corn if you don't have a route or it your route has only one tier two. Play on servers higher up if you need a confidence boost. Once you get in the mindset of winning, you can try the lower servers again.

Instead of looking at the reasons why you have lost, try looking at how you could have pulled through. Getting chased by a stone sword guy when you have no weapon? Head over to the bridge on SG 4 and try to knock him into the ravine. Go over the lava parkour to the boat on Demon's Breeze. Lead him into other people. Getting chased by a team of 3 who are all pros? Try to run for such a long time that they lose interest. Then turn around and use your best flint and steel tactics when they are a little split up. Having issues getting a weapon early on in the game? Modify your route to have one less tier two but three more tier ones.

Every time you lose a game, think about what you could have done better, even if it was out of your control. A regen hacker? You could have tried waiting out deathmatch. If you win a game, give yourself some positive reinforcement and think about what made it a success. Never join a lobby with the intention of wiping out everyone as quickly as possible with no strategy. That only leads to more loss. What you should do is cool off.

Have confidence in your actions and be assertive, but be calculating at the same time. Don't always go for people the moment you see them. For teams and expert players, you will often need the element of surprise. Think like a chess player. If I run into corn now, they will turn around and swamp me, resulting in a chase in which I will be steadily beat down by bow shots and diamond swords. On the other hand, if I wait three minutes behind this tree and trail a hundred blocks behind them as they begin the hunt, I can likely catch one while they are in a chest and wipe him out with a flint and steel and critical hit combo. If they chase me afterwards, I can lead them to a tall building where I can regen while I knock them off, etc...

The strategy portion of MCSG has been much abused and the PvP aspect overglorified. Learn to strategize better, and you will avoid large losing streaks.

Well, I just play to have fun and when I see a team I focus in and if I die, I just say "Eh, get em next time!" Another key is to not try super hard and just laugh and try to have as much fun as possible!

Take the routes that aren't overpopulated. Teams are always in games, you just have to figure out how to deal with them, play defensive, practice on pvp servers like roxbot or badlion. Targeters with weapons can only be killed with luck (getting a weapon, getting someone else to kill them). The longer you take breaks, the worse you become. :D
