I find that I play really well on some days, but on others (very much today) I can't seem to do anything in TF2. Like earlier, I was in MGE and was getting destroyed every match. It felt like I just couldn't hit any shots.
How do you guys deal with "Off Days"?

I don't play as much on off days so I don't lose interest in the game.

If I force myself to play on off days I usually just get depressed. Best thing to do then is just play other games or do things away from the computer.

For me it's more like off months and then I have one good day.

I have off days and it used to really get to me emotionally. Honestly its not worth it. Either ignore it and grind through it or take a break, sleep, do something to take your mind off of it. Usually when I take a break for a few days I come back with a fresh " mindset " and I play how I should usually be playing. Remember to have fun!

I just finished playing CS. Did well for 3 rounds and then went back to doing badly. Oh well. I think I might take a walk or something.

Thanks for all the replies!

maybe you just got lucky one day (or one week) and thought that you should always play that way. idk.

I really doubt it. It's not like I usually play at a really high level.

Don't focus on it, having an off day in a video game won't be the end of your life. They come and go.
Try to distract yourself, playing something else helps loads, watch a movie, take a walk, read a book or find a new really good record to get into.

instead of practicing aim in mge/dm practice keeping your focus, if you can keep focus in mge/dm then you should be able to keep focus in scrims/matches. that will lead you to the key for true consistency.
most people get burnt out from simply playing the game too much. from my knowledge that is where the source of the problem comes from

devon can you please explain what it means to be truly focused

take nootropics
turn into a god after a few days of your muscle memory becoming godlike
or, try meditating, it acts like a soft reset for your brain
or, load up a practice map like tr_newbots, helps me get my aim down sometimes (try standing still, that works wonders for direct mouse-eye coordination)
for those types of things, make sure to do net_fakelag 20 or so (I believe that's the command and the value I use to simulate ~30 ping, someone feel free to correct either)

Maybe I can take a stab
I find that sometimes I'll make really dumb decisions, and be playing the game almost on autopilot without thinking about my decisions. TF2 takes a lot of active (and ofc passive) thinking. When I find that I'm not doing things with a reason, which everything really should be done (when to jump, where to jump towards, where to land, when to shoot, when not, etc) then I'm not focused, and playing at very sub-par levels.
To solve, I'll usually leave though, or pub, or play with friends something else that doesn't incite frustration.

I think I just have "on days" where I actually hit shots. The rest of the time I'm just bad and that's normal.

work out
not joking
getting some kind of muscle control going and getting used to exerting yourself when tired/sore/out of it is a good skill
