39% winrate in ranked

Trust me when I say I've played long enough to know the only way that Riot accepts as the winning strategy

You have to win every lane every game. If top is behind, get them ahead. Same with bot and mid. If jungle is not jungling well enough, help them too. If you haven't singlehandedly won every lane, then those are lanes you could have won if only you were better at playing. It is your job to take every tower, every objective, every kill. If you don't, that could leave it up to teammates to do. That's putting too much pressure and responsibility that you expect someone to play their role and play it well enough to not lose their lane and then the game. Teamwork? That's called the work that you need to put in to win If you think you're getting behind on team gold, vision, or objectives, that's also your job. Every ward not placed is you not having placed that ward. That jungler that came out of nowhere was partly on you; you should have warded. Teammate bursted under tower by an assassin? It's your fault for not being there to help them, you both could have snagged a free kill. Are you surrendering? Every game is winnable, it's your fault for not winning. You should have tried harder. The lose rate for losing first inhibitor is over 90%? The game is still 9% winnable at the least, you should just win the game. Diamond smurf in your Iron/Bronze/Silver game? It's your fault for not outplaying them as a team (READ : You are the team. You need to solo take them out as well as their team, the pits, and the towers. Get on it)

Life of solo support [sg-kiko]

Playing solo support in low ELO is really difficult unless you're playing a mage support or Nautilus/Leona.

In my recent games I've had two AFKs in a single game, a Kayn who does 10k damage in a 35 min game, a primadonna jungler who AFK farmed and a 1/8/1 Akali at 16 mins in the same game.

There are so many KDA gamers, so many AFK rage split pushers, and so many people willing to feed the worst champions like Diana or Mordekaiser.

Another issue I have in general is that junglers are just so unwilling to work with me bot lane. I can set up for them so well, and they just will not come even when it's a guarantee kill. I started to experience this towards the end of last season, but this season it's so much worse.

You would think that dragon priority would be enough to make them get away from camping top, but nope.

My junglers just love to camp for top, which is fine sometimes. I can hold bot as long as we don't get a 4 man gank + rift herald called on us, but when our top laner sucks, they just do not want to change up their strat. If you politely tell them they need to change it up, then they freak out and AFK farm even if it is multiple people telling them to.

They will force us to lose trying to break top lane with pressure. Either bot lane or mid finally breaks and we're left turtling the game with our inhibitor towers while they have so many dragons, and my jungler without fail is like, "How did this happen?" I know it's a demanding role, but Jesus.

I haven't really figured out how to solve that problem because it's relatively new for me in ranked. I always just play for ranked rewards and that's it.

You are playing enchanters every game, what do you expect? To win? Don't make me laugh.

I kinda wanna quit now, I'm super frustrated in all my games. Even though my bot lane does decently in laning phase, there's always a feeding lane or a jungler who doesn't know how to secure objectives.

you are only 7 games from 50% win rate

Well, sadly, as soraka/sona you wont create the same opportunities for your teammates as you would do with engage supports (thresh, naut, leona, etc), and you wont do the damage you would with a mage support (zyra, xerath, brand, etc). You have to understand that you have to solo win the game. I had the same problem you have right now and the way i improved my elo and stop losing and ruining my win rate was carrying games by destroying enemy bot lane, completely ignoring your adc, because lets be honest, in low elo you pretty much wont have a good adc that worth playing peel supports. They dont know how anything about team fighting, farming, trading, etc. Because its low elo. If you are not winning its simply cuz you dont deserve to, if you want to win you have to be able to carry your team all by yourself (friendly reminder that even that way is impossible to win the 100% of your played games, so losing its okay, and there will be games you cant win cause your team its toxic af and they surrender 4 - 1 even if you are able to carry) The best advice i can give you is to learn how to dominate your lane, if you snowball bot lane you will have a better chance to stop their snowballing lanes too when team fights come. But the best you can do is to know that if you are not climbing in ranked its because its your fault and not your teams or riot.

Thank you riot for these games. I feel so happy with this winrate :)

Don't worry, riot pushes everyone to have 50% wr :)

have you considered blaming yourself?

I have 39% now but w/e i played with low diamonds and plats all time soo... Riot placement and "new season" ranked system are just pointless and stupid. That all new season stuff is just tilt me. Maybe if they will restet hidden mmr to for example gold level so it can result fast climb in later date but atm i play with same ppls all time

Most junglers are probably autofilled anyway, because the game requires junglers to secure objectives, while at the same time is also shafting junglers by forcing them to scale slower.

Yeah mine is pretty bad this season and last. Back in season 8 it was 70% out of placements then I've dropped to like 3% last season and nearing a 40-44% range this season. So it's been up and down with all the changes that have hit the ranked ladder in general, but it smooths out eventually if you keep at it.

Sorry to say but it´s very unlikely for you to ever have much impact as a solo enchanter in this present meta x)

The support meta is presently favoring engage supports = Your worst counters who also punish bad marksmen positioning extremely hard so even if you yourself play well it wont matter much when the marksman starts dying over and over......it´s kinda lost then.

For you to have a shot at having good impact in a game as a enchanter there´s basically 4 conditions being thus :

1. You yourself must be playing well.
2. You must not be playing against a hard counter
3. Your marksman must be good enough
4. Rest of your team must play well enough because no matter how well you survive a bad lane in botlane it wont matter if a 5.0.0 toplaner/midlaner appears and oneshots your ADC and you through all the shields and healing.

These together are a tad bit unlikely given engage supports are so meta.....like you´ll find one in 8 outa 10 games i´d say, and even if your ADC is good he wont survive that unless they´re playing like.....Sivir or if you are playing Morgana with blackshield.

Drop the enchanters and pick up the broken trio

On soraka you should buy the ardent censor a bit earlier and you should not take domination secondary (also avoid gathering storm, games are too short for that).

Your main problem is at lower elo very few plays soraka, so people are not used to lane with a soraka and they do not play it right.

Apart from this you are just not so lucky, keep playing do not tilt and you'll climb.

(Also if you play lux support, play her full ap, playing lux with an athens and ardent is really suboptimal and you can't expect to win with this).

My winrate is higher than any other season so maybe play a carry role

Jesus. That lose streak.

You're playing enchanters in gold ELO, you HAVE to adapt to the meta espacially when your champions of choice dont have much room for skill expressivness. Look at every game, almost every loss is against a hook champion or an engager, the ones you win are against are almost always soraka or lulu or sona (enchanters too).

Are you pushing your advantage aggressively if you win your lane?

I looked at your few games in the solo lanes, and it didn't look like you did particularly well in them. For support, it's much harder to tell. I don't know what you're doing wrong without actually watching the game.

Spam ping dragons

Dude, I once had a 75% win rate in my ranked games. I lost all interest in ranked which is why I ask more and more often to make other game modes. Heck, even in norms and URF people take the game too seriously. I miss funky builds man... where has that group gone? What happened to bruiser Lucian, adc Leona, and AP lee sin? Oi, I feel like people just try hard rather than just trying to have fun these days.

38% atm

I know I took a break from ranked for a few seasons, but were games always full of ragequitters and trolls???

Last season im sitting around 65% win rate and plat 4 in under 50 games, this season im 200 GAMES DEEP WITH A >50% WIN RATE...

How is match making so much worse this season than last...

You either get the stomper team or you get the doesnt know what macro means team.
