Don't let losing streak get you down

Was looking at deck tracker earlier after I managed to get my goal of rank 5 on NA, EU and Asia.

Damn that's bad winrate :)

But then the page up is a massive winning streak (though to be fair I changed deck 9 games in):

Lesson I learned - don't be disheartened if things aren't going well - take a break, consider meta, keep going and try to have fun!

How do you deal with it when things aren't going well?

Nice one ! like i always say, play the game to have fun! If you're not enjoying it or even get stressed ouf by it just take a break/cool off - play other stuff etc.

If things aren't going well (lossing streak etc) i just take a break and try again later on.

Thanks! :)

One good thing about playing different regions is can always try on another one where the meta can be different and you might have better luck.

I probably let HS affect my mood too much even though I know it's a game and doesn't matter in the real world.  But having fun is so underrated - the brawls recently have been really good for this :)

Thank you for your post. I found it really hard to deal with losing so much when I first started. I nearly gave the game up a few times.

With some words of encouragement and a lot of patience, I finally got enough cards for Silent Priest, then Mid Hunter and finally Token Druid. 

The Budget Decks page + Inn Keeper was what really helped me as a newb. Thank goodness we still have HSreplay.

I also found that switching to casual play for a few games helped my mood.

Here are some tips from a seasoned losing streaker:

* never give up

* realise this: in a 50/50-ish game (which Hearthstone is) it is inevitable that there will be losing streaks and also winning streaks (check your math/statistic books)

* if you feel really bad when having bad luck you'd better also feel really good when having a win streak otherwise this game will be frustrating on average :)

* for every time your opponent draws the nuts, topdecks his only non-losing card 3-times in a row, or your own win condition is always at the bottom of your deck, know this: it happens to everyone!!

And now press that PLAY button again.

Another good way to get fresh is to use another deck. I can get really inspired when trying some fresh ideas, been having great fun with a tempo mage deck based on a lot of spell damage stuff and Arcane Watcher and Unexpected Results, its nice to out-aggro those mech-hunters/mech pala's/token druids/murloc shammy's, in the time they prepare for your mountain giant on 4 they suddenly face lethal on 5. Only problem is that without Aluneth when you run out of steam it's game over, but hey, at least you can concede quickly as well. Except when Stargazer Luna suddenly turns the tables again :). Its amazing how often that card turned around the bord for me.
