Even if we were able to review the VOD, knew exactly where we had to direct our attention and even set actionable learning objectives that were compatible with our current rank and level of play…
What about the mental part of the game?
You can have the most flawless game knowledge, beautiful micro ability and perfect champion pool, but STILL be held back due to a lack of understanding of the importance of the mental game.
Because League inherently requires a bulk amount of hours played on the same map, with the same champions, at the same rank, we are bound to come across one or even a combination of the following…
– Toxic invisible narratives that inhibit you from climbing
– Toxic beliefs about the solo queue system which prevent you from coming into games with an open mind
– Tilt problems which prevent you from playing at your level of play
– Ego problems & false confidence as a result of the toxic league community
– Incorrect beliefs held about a champion due to negative experiences in the past
These are the most difficult to catch because you don’t even see them at play.
This is just one of the many challenges we have to overcome so that we don’t have this sort of result… The ‘HARDSTUCK’ phenomenon.
