What's going on in ranked lately? (repost)

Ben SwoIo··1 votes·375 views

Sounds very cliche, but I've been getting a lot of trolls lately. It's been terrible. What's going on? I have to hold my breath every time I get in a match now. I'm on the verge of being demoted to silver. I win my lanes, I roam like crazy, I ping objectives. There's really nothing more I could do. I know all the typical pieces of advice. I work on my own game. Fix mistakes. Bla bla bla. They only work so much. I get off for a couple days, come back, same shit. Always someone feeding, not relaxing. Always people arguing. Always an ADC getting butt hurt at the support for who knows what reason. Always someone who is "auto filled". It always seems like the enemy team plays well together but my team runs around like a lost puppy in the woods. I don't understand, are there a bunch of children playing this game? We are supposed to be on the same team, yet they would rather flame each other and kiss up to the enemy team in all chat. I really don't get it at all. It's really hard to stay positive with this happening so often. Maybe it's the time of day I play? I'm really not sure, but I had this happen to me the exact same time last year. Gets old. Still waiting on my win streak that just won't come. L L L L L W L L W L L L W. How can I break this? Sorry, just very frustrated.

Reposted in this section because I would really like to know what the deal is. This is beyond ridiculous. Ps: Just had a match where my jg Yi didn't take smite and needless to say, we got stomped. So sick of this.

Happens to everyone there's no "all of a sudden I'm getting trolls" scenario.

Then why have I only won 2 of my last 12 matches? Where's the win streak? Will it ever come? I got all the way up to G2 then just plummeted down because of crap like this. It just happens way too often. It's not like its every few matches. It every, single, damn, match. For me anyway.

You're either not playing up to skill with G2 players or haven't done much. Your team is not always their fault for the loss of the game. No one said climbing was suppose to be easy.

Just keep playing then you'll eventually start winning.

Nah im getting more trolls than usual as well. Idk what it is

one thing that comes in mind is that i get alot of games with foreigners who troll really hard and say something about weak americans

Yeah I don't know. I try to make sense of it, because it's happening way too often for it to be "random" or to "happen to everybody". I see so many defeats on my list, it's very discouraging to play this game anymore. Have to place too much hope on four other people and pray they don't goof off, feed, or rage. I had high hopes to hit plat this season but not with this kind of shit.

1 Not trolling you but it is spring break meaning more high schoolers/college kids who have less maturity are on.
2 have you recently changed your normal play time making you go against a defferent group of people 3 physcologically nothing might of changed and since your not carrying as hard therefore not winning you might be subconciously blaming it on your team.

More than likely its 1 though

Nah that makes sense. I just find it odd that this is happening again at the same time it did last year. Didn't think about the spring break kids getting on. I figured they'd be busy going to Cabo or something ;)

My play time is about the same, but I can definitely say that when this kind of thing happens it does take a psychological toll on me. I start making some trash mistakes and get more annoyed that I let those mistakes happen. Thanks.

This time and christmas/summer are the worst. The other 2 were just me covering all bases of possibility

I just had a Orianna jungle who swore to the gods it works and is secretly OP. Wanna know what happen ? She died repeatedly to Rammus invades, fed the rest of the game while remaining a whole 3 levels behind everyone else. I don't think anyone gets more trolls than me. Yet I'll never claim it as the reason I'm having trouble climbing.
