End of 13 game lose streak! WOW! +23lp -> +16. My take away lessons.

TL;DR I had the worst lose streak of my life with a mix of bad game play and bad luck and got out by using my brain. You could actually watch the last game I talk about here if you're interested as a beginner jungler/Evelynn player. http://www.replay.gg/search/na/SpiritofFizz

Long Semi-Educational Read:

Longest lose streak in i think around 3000 ranked ive played in my life. went from playing with low plat from last year to low gold. Looking back at the lose streak there is so much to be learned.

At the beginning of the streak I just played some lack luster games. Game 4 was winnable but my mid laner flamed me more than ive been flamed in maybe ummm 1000 games because i didnt gank much early and i was already pissed because I had lost 3 close games after mowing my way to gold getting +23 lp on wins before. So I trolled that game that was definitely a win if i didn't.

Went and played 2 games of top after not laning in like 30 games and threw both of them for my team (this is 6 lose now). Next 4 games pretty much just bad luck tbh(10 loss) I could have died less definitely but not my fault in particular. Pretty close games. I played well in 11 and 13 but team was troll as hell. There is a miss fortune with a deadmans plate and bt rush in 11 after i gave her an easy lane as support. 13 jungler and support both troll blitz grabs tanks only and vi kills herself 1v5.

12 I fucked the game by ganking top early into a big wave with a low health top laner and giving a double kill to a good singed player who my team was dumb enough to chase the whole game and he carried hard.

So... here is the ideal mix of sub-normal gameplay to begin, translating into tilt, running into bad luck, and finally a pretty good 14th game from myself

Game 14: I made the shot call to stop playing 5 mid aram against ziggs and yasuo to go 1-3-1 which gave us the pressure to take both bot and top tier 2 towers and enemies went away to defend and we could get the mid outer turrets after winning 3v3 and after that I could flank the enemy when the pushed mid getting 4/5 man ults off that gave varus easy ults and cleanup with the garen. We would have lost if we continued to play the game 5v5 mid (their way) letting them kite us down mid with ez and ziggs then the hard init with blitz, rammus, yasuo and ziggs aoe ult to fck us.

So I claim the 14th win as a credit to myself and good play by bot and top (even tho they reluctantly left mid). And I think I just need to think like this to keep winning games. You have to think analytically about the game as a jungler because you're the best shot caller. You have smite to make baron and drag calls, usually good initiate, and you watch every laner play, so when you know your zed is garbage and ziggs is faceroll even if he sucks dee, you make the call to win top and bot, find ways to open to map against a poke comp, and go for the one shot on Ziggs when you team fight, because that is their greatest advantaged champion with tons of burst.

Well i do actually make lots of mistakes and am overly harsh on my team sometimes and am rarely flamed. In bronze and low silver people will blame their jungler when they push all game and lose 1v1 or 2v2 etc but havent really seen that much from people who aren't totally new to the game or just flat stupid.

It is maddening when a jungler ganks and dies to your lane opponent whether the jungler gets a kill or not though, especially early game or in an even lane... and that is when an experienced laner will QQ and I don't blame them for being angry when i do fck up.

Losing my ass as well. Got trolls afkers every other game. And just finally got over my 9 game lose streak. And for some reason the second I hit silver 2 everything went downhill. I started playing like shit and losing. But for some reason I did fine when I was lower playing with mostly golds but now I'm with all silvers and getting destroyed lol

Yeah it hurts and it happens man. Also, true that sometime ya win like 9 or 10 in a row and maybe all the games that ya have a rough game your team carries you :) just remember you're the only constant in all your games and if you're consistently playing well you will eventually climb... me im just trying to remember its about improving my own skill rather than win/loss, because my goal is diamond :) (I have a LOT to improve) it is hard to keep your cool after like 3 straight games of toxic players and trolls though. I do hear you on that ;)
