I don't know if its just me, but are you guys also scared of ranked?
I have a consistent win rate and good games with extremely good stats; my mmr is even a rank higher, but i just feel like winning a game or two a day is all I need. I have the tendency to think that I have used up all my good luck therefor to not play more for today. I would like to here from others on this matter or is it only me?
I'm scared to death of solo que and most my partners don't play the same time as me.
Literally every single game I go alone is full of bads or inters, there's just no point in playing without a duo.
I was 9-0 in (not actually even important flex) placements and it was pretty terrifying since 10-0 is spicy.
Even if it was flex, and even if I knew I'd place plat 1 regardless of the outcome, it was pretty anxiety inducing. Still, I have to remind myself it's not going to get any easier if I play now or later, so just gotta click that play game button and not overthink stuff. (Alas, ended up 9-1, placed plat 1.)
I have another account with normals mmr that mostly matches with diamonds (unlike this account with is intentionally more like silver/gold normals mmr for ease of chests and learning new champs) which helps though. If I'm feeling in over my head with ranked, I can switch to that, go toe to toe with diamond+ players in a stress free environment to rebuild confidence, and then jump back on this account to beat my head against ranked again.
AFKs and autofilled players are frustrating as far as 'muh team' factors go, but faith in statistics helps there, so even if I have a rough streak of them, I have faith I'll benefit from just as many (or more) in the long term, just need to keep playing.
