Tilt is shorthand for the negative (and damaging, and extremely unpleasant, and bad for your winrate) mindset or mood you can find yourself in after an unfortunate event has happened in-game. And we’ve all been there. Hopefully the pro-informed video below will help you understand how maintaining PMA is key to keeping yourself from going to the dark side.

Combat tilt before it starts! Don’t fall victim to a bad attitude; instead, realize that what is done is done, and that all the only thing you can do is move forward with a clear mindset. Thanks for watching and we’ll see you next week with another episode of Well Played!

Our next Heroes of the Storm patch has just hit the Public Test Realm and will be available for playtesting until January 8. As always, if you encounter any bugs during your PTR play sessions, please stop by the PTR Bug Report forum to let us know about your experiences.
