It feels like the lower the elo, the more is up to chance.

After placements, I was put much lower than I've ever been in any other season to date.

In these games, it feels like no matter how well I do, no matter how many times I roam bot and force feed kills to our ADC - no matter how many times I roam top and force kills and feed our top lane.. no matter how many kills i purposely give to my jungler.. Even if I ping spam objectives and turrets like crazy, people just simply refuse to do it. The toxicity is just horrible, and people simply give up immediately, and begin flaming for almost zero reason.

It is ungodly frustrating to see a turret at 1/2 hp, which will fall in seconds from a coordinated effort, but 4 teammates decide to run down river to chase their support and get baited into a kill. Then while they're running up river, their jungler is soloing dragon or taking baron/buffs/objectives, while my team likes to run in circles.

I've been very fed in my last 6 games, and I've gotten my team just as fed, but every game lasts for 40+ minutes, where my index finger goes numb from the constant ping spamming on the turrets, and from typing in chat, 'pls help objectives stop chasing' over and over and over, while they start flaming each other when the inevitable bait happens.

It makes me want to ram my head against a wall. Why is it my fault and why do I have to take a loss when I know how to close out a game, but my pantsonheadretarded team just refuses to listen??

At low MMR, you have to exert so much pressure that the enemy team is afraid. Its not very hard to do from top, mid, or jungle.

How do I do this? Let's say I'm mid and am crushing for example - I can either roam bot, or force first blood on mid turret.

The second mid laner leaves, I'll go for the first blood turret since it's at 1/2 hp for example. I ping that mid is mia. I type in chat that mid is mia. I WARD and PING on the map the laner actually walking to bot. You can SEE THEM WALKING THE ENTIRE TIME to the bot lane because of the wards I set up, and I PING SPAM the mid laner walking bot to double kill them.

Bot doesn't react. Bot dies. Bot begins flaming "LIEK OMG Y NO FOLOW U SUK MID I AFK /all REPORT MID HELPING ENEMY"

Like. What could you possibly do in this situation?

If you're mid and have a lead, go ward enemy jungle and try to murder them if you think you have enough burst. Then pressure mid.

Roam where ever the largest threat is and shut them down unless they're too far ahead; if that's the case, roam bot and get a double with your jungler. Prioritize taking first turret always. Get the last hit on it.

If you're ahead of the enemy mid, you should not let them roam on you for free. Shove out, ward in front of drag pit, and go murder them if the enemy mid laner is roaming after they b or whatever. Might as well roam bot while you're there and kill them first anyway.

Basically, if you have a lead, try to be where you'll have the biggest impact, be a threat, and try not to get shut down. You're much more likely to take first turret with 3 or 4 people bot than you are solo mid.

Juste a couple things you could do to improve your gameplay and your experience at low elo ;

  • Play something that can push lanes fast and take tower easily you don't want to have to ask for help because believe me it's not gonna come.

  • Everytime you roam you must shove the lane into the ennemy tower.

  • Buy item 2055 and item 3363 because no one is gonna ward chances are, the support will build full AP. item 3116

  • When your team does stupid shit push lanes and if they flame you ignore them.

  • Swain Syndra Orianna Cassiopeia

  • Don't let the game come to you take charge and take control, you don't want to put faith in bronzies.

I played a game yesterday where we were something like 24-4 and still managed to lose. The enemy team smartened up and never left base alone while mine kept running in to suicide solo/duo. Even when we did win team fights I couldn't get anyone to take an objective, they'd just overstay and end up dying. Probably the most depressing game I've played in a while.

Anivia is the most uninteractive mid laner. I know this will be downvoted but I don't care.
