>>519075471>probably misunderstood your original post.I think read wrong your line there too, read it as "You should avoid that" instead of "You should bother avoiding that".
>it's not so much about forgetting lost games, but recognizing that you couldn't do anything about most of them, and not beating yourself up.It's part of my psychology, probably the reason why it's very hard and tend to mourn every loss.
>if you lost a game, but there was a moment where you think you could have actually played it better, and you playing it better would possibly influence the outcome?There was this game that ended as a lategame stand-off, both nexus open and teams full build. We lose the teamfight and, while the enemy team takes the nexus, I see a big enough wave moving to their inhibitor. I thought "If only I saw that earlier, I could've TP and maybe turn the game", and it replayed in my head for a while. A few days later, then, a game with more or less the same situation: both nexus with towers up, no inhibitors. We teamfight and end up losing it in jungle. I see a big wave toplane, so I just walk away where I can TP safely, go top, and Yorick-smash towers and nexus. Another one in a similar situation: I see my team doing a standoff pre-teamfight before I respawn, I see a small wave mid but it's enough for me. Pick the red trinket, run and dash (as Gwen) through the jungle with the trinket active so I'm not seen, tell my team to bait them, even waste the flash for the base's walls and manage to backdoor. It felt good, euphoric even, not because I learned from a mistake I made weeks ago, but because I felt I actively influenced the fate of the game--I felt in control, you get?
>in my case I started focusing more on farming the sidelines after lane phase ends, before that I would just group and fightI'm trying to do that as well because keeping pressure in the lanes can give you some extra time and an extra chance to push.
