It is important to accept this and keep unwinnable games from putting you on tilt. That’s just the nature of Competitive games, CCGs included. Playing while tilted can have terrible effects on your mood, attitude, AND rating – so this bit is especially important for aspiring ladder monkeys. If you lose 3 games in a row, PUT THE GAME DOWN AND DO SOMETHING ELSE. The amount of time you take away from the game varies from person to person, but it should be long enough to reset your mental. The “3 Loss” rule, in my opinion, is a fantastic rule to follow. – On the note of taking breaks: It’s hard to overstate how important taking breaks/putting the game down is.

In all honesty, I believe laddering to be a greater test of mental fortitude and attitude than skill. Proof, just in case: Mental Fortitude/Attitude

For full disclosure, I play primarily Best of 1 on ladder, but I believe most of these tips are applicable to both Bo1 and Bo3. I have years of experience playing at high Legend on Hearthstone with a smattering of Grandmaster seasons on GWENT.
