Avoid tilt at all costs
A player who is “tilting” is typically one who has suffered a loss, and due to the stress, plays poorer in their subsequent match or matches. The stress of a loss can cause decrease in focus, increased aggressiveness, muddled decision making, and a snowball effect arising from all of these negative qualities.
Tilt psychologically real, so keeping a clear head and a positive (or at least neutral) attitude will ensure you’re playing at your best and increase your ranked climbing efficiency.
Tilt is extremely difficult to spot in your performance; even if you feel relatively okay, subtle effects can accumulate. Remember that if you find yourself in a frustration losing streak, whether you feel aggravated or calm, it’s a good idea to take a breather.
Take breaks as needed, stay positive and focused, and always be willing to recognize when you are your own worst enemy.
