Losing motivation to continue with Ranked career
I finished my first ever placements, did well in all but 1 game and got put in Bronze. I know I am around Bronze/Silver level and have no problems with this or the placement system. What I have a problem with is how my Ranked career is going to go.
When I first played Ranked I was a noob and fed a lot. So I didn't touch it, went on these boards/reddit and got loads of help, watched hours and hours of guides/tips videos. Spent hours learning certain champions, hours learning to ward, objective control, shot calling, CS etc. Eventually I become decent at these.
So I go into Ranked and use all of these that I have learned and I'm like a completely new player. I can CS, I win my lane/play safe and not feed if I don't win lane, never push or invade without vision, never fight outnumbered, never let enemies get anything for free etc.
However, it seems I get really bad team mates every game. I know people always blame their team, but look at this image:
As you can see, I did well in all but 1 game (the Vlad game). I know kills don't mean everything, but if you look at the scoreboards, I was the ONLY one on my team who did well in the majority of the losses.
Such as:
- Held mid lane for 18 minutes, even when the enemies had 20 kills to our 1 and their Riven had 6 kills before 10 minutes. Our bot lane also fed.
- When playing Jungle, multiple lanes are lost and crying for ganks before I even get my first clear. When I successfully gank one lane, another feeds and vica versa. It's also common for them to overextend without warding despite me telling them to ward and end up dying.
- Getting fed in lane/from ganks and continuing to get fed throughout the game despite my entire team getting slaughtered (fed Anivia OP btw).
I'm not saying "I am good and I have bad teams pls feel sorry for me", what I'm saying is I've spent so much time learning to play properly, making sure I am ready for ranked, only to get players who not only let me down, but don't listen or play safe whenever they do badly.
My worry? **I'm going to stay in Bronze, doomed to lose games no matter how well I play and how much I learn. **
I even said to my friend before I finished my placements that I expect to land in Bronze, it's just the manner of my arrival and the complete destruction of my motivation.
TL;DR My many hours of training, practicing and researching sees results in my performances but nothing come the end of the game. Considering not bothering with Ranked at all.
