Thanks for answering guys

the main issue is you're repeatedly picking khazix in situations where hes just not a good pick.

you arent going to assassinate cho, blue ezreal or brand, and rengar/zed have "mechanics" to not die either. and you picked your one trick pony when you should've picked a tank for your team and let draven/xerath carry you instead.

but because none of you had initiation the assassins just ran rampant all over your team and you aint gunna carry 1v5 in a late game team fight.

basically you gotta expand your champion pool to something other than hard AD.

(plis, admit you either aren't good with vayne, or vayne just isn't good carry material right now, just stop picking her and bam, you have 17 games back to work with)

i love veigar and galio, but i recognize the enemy is pretty tanky, i need to pick vel koz and poke them down before hand to win ez pz team fights.

(and then theres the games where i pick galio anyway.....)

If you have 58% winrate, you're carrying... And you'll climb. You can't get stuck with >55% winrate...

technically you can because of promos. you need at least 66% to never get caught.

51% should mean you reach diamond, but it doesnt.

Yeah, that's why I said 55 and not 51. And with free wins in promo series after a failed attempt, they are not really an issue anymore, just a small hindrance, as long as your winrate is "high enough".

You might have to adjust your picks and play-style.

I know that when I was playing in lower ELO last season (this being Silver and low Gold), I found that most people on my teams were picking champions with high DPS/burst damage but little durability, waveclear, or CC.

I ended up playing a lot of Varus, Ziggs and Gragas at those ranks due to the fact that they provided those factors for a team. It helped that both teams kept randomly grouping around objectives and dancing around one another for minutes at a time and those champions were good during sieges and poke-wars.

Also, I've found that players in lower rankings generally don't ward quite as much as those at higher rankings do. I'd recommend switching from Stalker's Blade to Tracker's Knife on Kha'zix (since he seems to be who you are maining) for additional vision. If you can get deep wards in the enemy jungle, you will generally know where they are, letting you:

  • Prevent ganks by warning your allies
  • Countergank
  • Counter jungle
  • Hunt them down in their own jungle to kill them

I'd probably recommend building a little more durable than you currently are. Kha'zix should be able to kill an isolated and/or squishy target even without a full AD build, so it can be nice to ensure that you are durable enough to avoid dying. I'd probably recommend trying something like the following since it provides similar damage but makes you much harder to burst down: [Boots] item 1408 item 3812 item 3071 item 3742 item 3156
