I did a little bit of hyper-roll to recover from a loss I had last night (took me a few times but I did end up higher than I was before last night's loss), and since then have mostly been playing ranked tft.
I'm, once more, within striking distance of Platinum. I've gotten fairly decent luck and I know how to make quite a few comps work. It's been slow progress, but it has been, overall, progress. Now, granted. What will happen is that my luck will run out. I'll get 8th 7th 7th 6th 5th (at 0 LP mind you making it equivalent to like a 6th or even 7th) and end up demoting again.
Because that's happened to me how many times now? Two? Three? Four? It's been quite a few. Where absolute garbage luck hits, beit core items I need not spawning, champions I need not spawning (and this can even be when said champions are fully uncontested! I've spent literally 20-50 gold rerolling for a unit that not a single player had a single copy of and ended up not getting said unit in spite of none existing in anyones' boards anywhere), garbage hexcores, and of course: being heavily contested on my comps. (For instance, I had a game where TWO innovator Hearts spawned AND an Innovator-repair spawned--meaning THREE players had incentive to run Innovators from their first hexcore.)
And while I can in fact pivot away from a contested comp, I need to have the comp I pivot to also be uncontested.
And then there's comp thieves; players who weren't contesting but pivot midgame into a hard-contest.
I end up getting games like the above back to back to back to back and the inevitable happens. One step forward (a 4th place or two), two steps back (every non-5th loss).
Still tho.
Gonna continue to try to break into Plat because once I am there, I genuinely can just relax I think.
I can't be tilted at being 0 LP Plat IV unless I reach Plat I honestly. Which, I might not do, since after I achieve Platinum (and yes I will achieve it, it's not an if, it's a when, because while my bad luck keeps happening over and over and over again, I'm not giving up so it WILL happen EVENTUALLY), I'm probably going to have my obsession die down a bit.
I still will play TFT, even ranked TFT.
But I genuinely think that once I reach Plat, I'll have the ability to say, "tft is good to do on occasion, but I actually want to do this".
Which right now I don't because I am obsessed with getting into Platinum and refuse to stop playing the game daily until I'm there.
We'll have to see, I might update you some time later.
