yo what's up guys it's Talon so today

I'm going to talk about how to avoid

tilt and wild drift now I do want to

acknowledge that tilt is inevitable

you're going to get angry you're going

to get annoyed and that's okay it

happens to me if you watch my streams

there's plenty of times where I get

really annoyed and it does make me play

worse and it's unfortunate but it's the

reality of a game like this it is going

to be frustrating however there are

plenty of things that you can do that

will decrease the amount you tilt and

how you know severe that tilt is which

will allow you to win more games and

just have more fun playing wild drift so

the rest of the video is going to be

focused around that I'm not really going

to be talking about specific gameplay

stuff more just there's going to be some

gameplay on in the background as I give

you guys some of these tips but let's

get right into the video all right guys

so the first thing that you want to do

to avoid tilt is not set super specific

goals for yourself when you set goals

that are really focused on a specific

rank or something like that it makes you

really frustrated every time you lose

because you're always thinking well oh I

lost that was a waste of time because I

want to get say Challenger and I just

lost a game so now it's going to take me

even longer when you set goals that are

less specific and more focused on

actually getting better at the game this

will allow you to have a better focus

and and feel better about any individual

game because even if say you know you do

lose the game at least you'll feel happy

about the fact that say you improved

your Landing phas a little bit like you

tried to or you got some value out of

the game so focusing on getting whatever

value you can out of the game rather

than focusing on some super specific

rank goal is definitely going to help

you not tilt quite as

much okay and after that guys it is make

sure that you get off after just two

losses in a row there's no reason in

playing the game for hours and hours

just to be tilted and end up right back

where you started it's going to be

pretty frustrating nobody really likes

losing over and over again but everyone

has days where you go on bad lose

streaks and you end up losing the game

and whatnot and when that happens when

you feel like you're just not going to

have a good day you lose a couple games

in a row just take a break maybe get

back on in a half hour an hour or you

know just play tomorrow or something

like that you might think it's better to

just Spam games and climb but the

reality is you're just going to end up

getting tilted you're going to lose

playing when you're actually focused and

when you're in a good mood is be much

much more important than just spamming a

ton of games in one

day okay so the next thing that causes a

lot of people to tilt is that they

overreact to Lost streaks and what I

mean by overreacting to Lost streaks is

when they go on a loss streak they'll

get extremely frustrated about the fact

that you know they're in losers CU their

teammates suck whatever and they'll try

to change everything up that they can

they'll be like okay I'm normally say a

vain player I can't carry on V because

my team is throwing the early game but

if you've invested 500 games into Vain

and V is the champion that you really

know how to play switching it up is only

going to make you lose more games in the

long run because you're not going to

understand as well other Champions

compared to Vain so people will you know

they'll switch their rules they'll

switch their Champions they'll switch

the way they're playing the entire game

just because of a lost streak even if

that strategy that they're utilizing

overall leads them to getting a lot of

wins and so just being a bit more

resilient to individual law streaks and

being able to view it more holistically

as okay but what's happened in the long

run the last 50 games last 100 games is

this strategy really not working or was

it just a bad stretch of games where

maybe I did get some bad luck with my

teammates maybe there wasn't as much as

I could I could have done I can just

accept that that a few games were kind

of unwinable but still stick to my

overall strategy and have confidence in

my strategy and really trying to perfect

perfect that when people try to switch

up over and over again it just leads to

them usually playing worse because

they're not as comfortable on their

strategy which then leads to more losses

in the long run which then leads to

increased tilt which is why we don't

want to do that typically okay guys so

the next way to avoid tilt is just to

focus more on yourself and so a great

way to do this is to identify two to

three weaknesses in your own game and

really try to work on and improve those

specific

weaknesses I would say often times

identifying say a mistake you make in

Lane phase a mistake you make later on

in the game and then a mistake you

possibly make en champ select or like

building or other things like this that

are less focused on gameplay and finding

like these two to three things and then

really going into every game just

thinking about these three things right

I'm going to fix these things in my game

and that's the only thing that I'm

really going to think about

Win Lose or Draw it doesn't matter as

long as I'm getting better at these

things and I'm thinking about these

things and continuing to learn about

them the rest of the your gameplay is

usually going to be pretty autopilot

anyway so it's not like it's going to

decrease your performance and then

you're going to have some active things

to think about which allows you to focus

on things that aren't how bad your

teammates are because trust me guys your

teammates they're usually very bad trust

me I do know this and I get angry of my

teammates just as anyone else does quite

often in fact however when I do have

really specific focuses like learning a

new Champion or learning a specific

combo with a champion or learning how to

manage my wave better or any of these

small things or even sometimes really

big things if I'm always focusing my

brain power on thinking about those I

don't have time to think about how bad

my teammate is doing or even if I do I'm

like okay whatever he did something dumb

I have this other thing I want to focus

on so that's perfectly okay that he made

that really dumb mistake and that's

definitely going to help you in the long

run not only get better at the game but

also not get as tilted when your

teammates do suck okay guys so the next

way to avoid tilt is to understand that

many games are unwinnable so there's

this common rule that people talk about

often called like the 40 3030 rule or

whatever they call it but basically what

this is is saying that about 30% of your

games are unwinable about 30% of your

games are always going to be one no

matter how bad or good you play and

about 40% of your games are the ones

that you can actually control the

outcome of and you know the specific

percentages who knows what they really

are but I think it's a very good thing

to understand some games you play You're

a jungle you have a 04 top a 09 laner

and your B laner are both zero and five

as well and like a game like this you

know we're not winning that game and

people often they they message me with a

game like this where they're like say 10

and zero and they still lose and they're

like Talent my teammates suck I can't

possibly win this game and I'm like yeah

I can't win that game either I wouldn't

win it's impossible that's okay though

we're not trying to win 100% of our

games that' be that'd be awesome but we

can't do that so it's about focusing on

those games that you can control and

identifying when you can't control the

game so instead of being you know overly

angry about a game just be like oh that

game was unwinable It was kind of

annoying now let's go next you know and

then a game where you could have won

that you end up not winning be like okay

so maybe my teammates did play bad in

that game but if I think about it if I

did this and this I could have actually

won that game because there's a lot more

of those games that you might not than

you might think as well it doesn't

always mean that you're the reason you

lost but you could have been the reason

you won but you might not have been for

various other reasons and so just

focusing on this kind of rule and

understanding not every game is winable

we just want to focus on the that we can

try to impact the outcome of and then

also identifying when you do have those

games where you actually get carried

where you know it was like oh I actually

played really bad in this game but my

team carried me if you actually focus on

oh that happened like instead of

ignoring the fact when that happened

kind of identifying and acknowledging

that sometimes I make mistakes and my

teammates carry me as well that can also

make you kind of more aware of the fact

that even you can play bad in some games

everyone's going to have bad games

including myself and focusing on these

types of things will definitely make you

able to tilt less okay guys in this

final tip not many people know about but

it's actually an anti-tilt setting

inside of the game that will decrease

your tilt by at least 50% it's been

clinically proven by many studies you go

into your settings here and then you go

to in-game chat and you switch your

in-game chat from Team chat two party

chat and you shut the hell up and stop

typing you will win more games and you

will tilt less trust me guys your

teammates will not be telling you any

useful information in the team chat do

not listen to them doesn't matter turn

on Party Chat ignore them ignore their

pays ignore everything focus on yourself

focus on what you can control your

teammates do not matter all right I hope

you guys enjoyed the video for those

that don't know I do coaching for 15

bucks an hour just a link in the

description to that I hope everything

was helpful to you guys I hope you're

able to avoid tilt a bit better because
