I really hate having to 1v5. Tilts me and gets me banned more than anything.

I just kind of got reminded why I really have a physical disconnect with a lot of players.

I just pretty much played...... another...... 1v5.

https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2840266809/243999882?tab=overview

I don't get it(Why people don't play with common sense at all and avoid the roaming fizz/Panth). But I do (In 4-8 years of playing, most of these players have learned nothing).

Not a single player said a word all game, so I can only guess they were all chat banned or in voice chat duos.

And I think honestly that's what saved this game. No one could get toxic, so none of the horribly feeding players had extra reasons to troll/surrender.

Surrender window did come up twice....

I guess why I'm posting this is..... are players this disenchanted that they sabotage their own games? I mean..... the very same opponents that my team was hyper feeding.... was melting in 2-3 seconds versus me. The entire game. They weren't good..... walked right into every setup of mine, and had no escape once they were in, and almost every single kill that was not mine except some of Yorick's later ones.... were all me killing them, and my teammates getting the last hits.

Look at the damage outputs etc..... the turrets lost.... the inhibitors/drakes.

Usually, when I hyper carry..... it's usually HARD to kill the champs my team fed. This time..... One skill was taking 1/4 of their HP before my plants even hit them. Actually 2 shot some of them.

Usually, even if smurfing, if you have 4 hard core feeders, the 1v5 comeback is extremely hard (doable but hard). So..... the only thing I can come up with is attitude.

My players went into the game with a crappy attitude and fed as a result. Then I carried them out of something like a 10/21 deficit, and they suddenly begin behaving a little better?

People really need to work on their attitudes, basic game concepts, etc.

I didn't feel happy at all about my win. I felt like there's no progress in people's personalities since Season 4. They should have lost. But I gave them a win anyways.

thats supposed to be a 1v5?

lol ok... that seems like a normal ranked game...

at least MOST of your teammates have the same number of kills as they do their deaths.

and yes they were feeding mindlessly but so was the enemy team

are u the reason you won... yes you are

the fact that u weren't feeding have most kills, most assist and least deaths proves you are much better than all your teammates.

and yeah i can certainly understand how they would be tilting... i quit playing ranked for that same reason.

but that's the issue with matchmaking, it puts team it thinks that have an equal chance of winning together

it doesn't put player with the same skill together

if your on a hot streak, instead of the game seeing "oh he has inporved from silver 4 to gold 5, lets give him gold 5 teammates and gold five opponents

it goes "ok he plays at a gold 5 level now... lets keep his opponents the same silver 4 and give him bronze 4 teammates" to even it.

Maybe they had a negative attitude because you took Zyra jungle and that they didn't trusted you at all...

I don't care if my jungler picks something unusual. I'll assume that he knows what he is doing. Maybe they didn't. That's what I think anyways.

Ranked is more about getting the better teamates. Be it for the mental they have or the skill. Or both.

Good luck for your future games!

I Zyra Jungle at Diamond III too :).

I don't know why more people don't.

She takes no damage in clearing, has an anti invade kit, clears as fast as any normal jungler, and often can be built to move faster than most junglers. She also happens to counter almost all junglers.

Sad that people will not really look at you the right way because of your pick....I mean come on...

I never thought of a Zyra jungle, but now that you say it, it really seems legit... I never saw anything like that, but I'm always up to something unusual in my jungle. That way, the ennemy has no idea how to play around it! :D

The only real drawback is that NORMALLY she doesn't have a lot of move speed.

But I use Celerity, and Relentless Hunter, and try to boost my move speed through a few items..... Usually get a strong ~ 449-469 Move speed going, which is faster than what a lot of champs get when they are on their move speed skills.

If the game has a champ whose good at killing Zyra, I generally get Nimbus Cloak too.... so I can set a delayed trap where I "was" when that champ comes after me, so that when they fall into my R, I'm long gone, and they are just messing with 3-5 plants and have already taken a ton of damage.

There are a lot of champs where the solution to winning them is balancing their weaknesses. Zyra is one of them.

I mean..... in the early game... before you have W and E, you can duck into a bush to control where Zyra's Passive spawns saplings. Like, if you start red, you can walk into the Red Arena, and your passive will about 80% spawn plants inside the arena walls rather than randomly placing them. That allows you to start Red level 1 with at least 3 Seedlings, and 1-2 more will spawn during the leash.

Level 2 Krugs.... you have 2 seedlings from W and more follow. You might take a couple hits, but generally, the plants tank it all.

Level 2 Wraiths after Krugs is basically the same deal. Set 2 plants, hit as many as you can with Q, and then auto attack the large wraith and hopefully you saved your smites for here. just smite the large wraith and your second Q and the plants will do the rest.

And then you can get Scuttle or gank mid.

If I wanted to I could go through 2-3 nonstop clears without buying if I wanted to, but I try to gank twice level 2-3, and once more at level 3-4. Then buy item 3108 and get the game rolling.

Junglers HATE plants in open jungle. Most of them specialize in 1v1 skirmishes, and plants just eliminate that plan, and in the early game they don't do enough damage to 1 hit you, so those plants are dangerous.

Another cool thing about Zyra is..... you can leave a camp before it's dead. As long as your plants will live long enough to finish them off, you can move to the next camp (Krugs, etc).

If you have extra W charges, you also can plant ward bushes for more visibility. Spam Poros.


Ahri is also viable, as is Karma.... but..... they have a slower early game, and generally Ahri is a post 6 gank. She can clear like a jungler, and heal, but the post 6 ganks really put off teams, unless you hyper carry. It IS a faster Luden's though than a lane Luden's.
