This is the seventh week of my project and the 10th week of Genius hour, and it isn't looking good for me at all. It started off being able to get in almost 2 hours on Monday. I felt good that day, but I'm not good enough to solo teams all the time. I kept on getting so close to ranking up and getting to Silver 1, but I end up losing the defining game, keeping me in silver 2. I have realized in the project that it is very difficult to rank up through the game if you cannot communicate with people. Communication is key, and if you cant communicate, it is hard to win the game. I can do great that game, but if my teammates aren't doing good and were all over the place, we wont be able to win. I didnt have time to play on Tuesday or Wednesday, and I got to play on Thursday. The same thing that's been happening to me for the longest time happened to me on Thursday. I win games, and right when I'm about to rank up, my teammates don't do anything to help and we lose the game. It has gotten to the point where I could play for hours and not be able to rank up. I don't have time to play every single day, so it makes the process very difficult of getting better and ranking up. I would have to stop having a life and just play the game if I wanted to achieve my goal in the time limit that I have. I was unable to play a single game after Thursday this week, and it was really frustrating. I know that me not being able to get the time in that I was hoping to get will affect how well my presentation will go and my success. I believe that even though I failed in my main objective, I still have some success that is worth mentioning. For one, over these weeks and weeks of playing, I have definitely gotten better and smarter when it comes to the game and how to play it. I have found a routine before I start playing ranked that helps me get warmed up for the ranked games and improves my game. Through this project, even though I will be unable to reach the goal of getting champ in ranked, I have gotten to the highest rank that I've been in the game since I've been playing it, and I've gotten so much better then at the beginning of the project. It sucks that I wasn't able to achieve my main goal, but at least I saw the obstacles of getting to it and trying my very best to overcome them. I will never be able to go past family for a video game, I just cant do that to my family and myself.
