About to quit ranked this season

Season 9 is nothing short of a feed fest so far. All my team does EVERY GAME is go 0 6 in lane, and make the game unwinnable. How do I get matched with such terrible teamates all the time? It's been like 8 games in a row, and I CAN'T CARRY THAT. Veigar last game went ice-born gauntlet support, and fed 13 kills, and me reporting him for inting, won't do anything. If I report someone for inting, and its legit, I should never have to play with them again. That way I could actually climb instead of getting inters on my team. I'm actually getting tired of this the most. No one communicates, and when I give good item buys like ninja tabies for the Cait against Draven, or executioners when they haven't built it, I either get ignored, or full blown flamed where Cait says" YOU ARE SHIT!."

Bring chat to all members in solo que, that way people wont be so toxic. I doubt they would tell me to eat a tide pod, and wash it down with bleach, in voice chat. Not only that but your games legit not fun to play anymore when I have no chance to solo carry. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CLIMB!? It's impossible most games, but once in a blue moon I'll carry an unwinnable game, only because the enemy team fucks up, and I ace them and take Baron. Really silver matchmaking needs fixed, because I am playing far better than anyone on my team most games, and am definitely playing above silver level, I get great cs, I do the most damage on my team most games, I ward both sides of mid, but it's still a coin flip to win games. I swear most games I play as well there is an elo booster playing mid lane duo, with enemy jungle booster, because they have 5k mastery score on Oriana, but play like a 500k mastery, 1 trick Ori, with perfect rotations GG. I still hold my own against these players, but can't climb out of silver thanks to them, and smurfs. I am better than silver I know I am, I know I can carry, but just not full on 0 6 in every lane 10 minutes into the game. Sorry I am not quite as good as Faker, but can still dodge most skill shots imitating his skill with rapid mouse clicks close to his character. But that's all I am a cheap imitation, maby I will get better, the more I play mid idk.


Something is definitely wrong with the balancing this season, and I have a hunch that really my teammates aren't completely terrible every game, but what's really happening are the champions they pick are no longer viable/ as strong as what the enemy team picks.  There is no way for me to change what they go, but it just seems hopeless when I have almost perfect cs, and a lot of kills/assists, few deaths, most games, but I still can do nothing, but stall the game out a bit longer. It really shouldn't be that hard to solo carry. Team wide voice chat would also help with warning your teammates your mids roaming, or pinging my teammates heads off so they will back out. Because right now I ping until I can't ping anymore, and bot lane will not back off as a roaming fed Diana comes down to clean them up. To top it off, my Sivir asked me to follow the Diana's roams, when Diana was 3 0 and I was 0 1 Vlad mid. I'm sure that would turn out dandy, when she waits for me in a bush, to see if I am following. Diana walked over a pink in botside bush, and a dragon ward......

i will agree that smurfs are a big part of the problem you mention especially in lower elo,silver prolly being the worst imo and from what others higher elo have told me.duoing can help somewhat especially if the duo is higher elo than yourself so that u have a better chance at not getting new players but then smurfs will still be an issue.

I'll be honest. I can't voice an opinion yet, but I doubt you really can either.

I've almost unlocked ranking in 4 roles on my low elo account, and am 21/12 between Top/Mid/Jung/Support. Given your one role devotion and 68 games so far, my opinion is this:

You Spam soooo many games that some of them have to be fought tired, tilted, and on the edge of your nerves. How do you have 68 games already? That's pretty crazy for a season start where you get the most fill teammates, people outside their elos, etc. I would have taken it easy and just "Eased In." (Imagine Dragons reference)

Games have been difficult to carry for a couple seasons now. You need to be at the top of your game every game, or you will get rolled over. Don't spam. Don't be afraid to dodge if the opposing team is a locked win.

P.S. Your team has just as much capability to win as the opposing team. Stop viewing it in terms of "The opposing team picks more meta champs than we do." You're part of that equation too, btw.

I'm holding 100% win rate on Morgana so far, and she's not even Meta right now.

(Vladamir is a competitive champ, but he doesn't sway ranked games NEAR as much as a champ like Morgana, even though she's out of the meta. He lacks the CC, and is basically a damage kit which at times is actually easy to counter. In other words he has less practical game contol than she does, simply because he can't lock down kills/champs, and generally is slow at taking objectives. Morgana, even when weak and easy to kill, still secures kills and locks down targets the entire game)

I tried Zoe mid, and although I get less CS, and do less damage on average than Vlad, I die far less, and get more kills, with less assists. I have noticed I win a lot more games, but that could just be because I was practicing Zoe in normals, and ranked is going to be a lot harder to win. Junglers actually gank my lane now, vs them never ganking when I played Vlad. It's definitely because of the sleepy trouble bubble.
