How do I do good in the game but my team still ends up losing.

Shmeeve··1 votes·761 views

For some reason in a lot of games if you checked my profile, I lose... a lot. It's not because I suck at the game (I do) but I always have rotten luck when it comes to these matches. I seem to do well quite a bit with top, mid... anything... and somehow later on my team ends up losing most of the time (excluding trolls and dc'ing players). Sure, I have my banes that I complain to the point I made a cringey post (the yi nerf one) but I can still do well sometimes. However, I just don't understand how I am still contributing well to my team and my team still ends up losing (for example me getting 27/6 as kai'sa one time) and everyone who checks my profile thinks I am the reason for everything (well sometimes I am). I need to find a way how to keep this from happening in future matches because I have a grudge against myself by looking at my kda.

Any advice will do, thanks![slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I can only assume, if youre the marksman, your problem is that youre not pushing and going after objectives. Objectives win games. Wards win games. Split pushing wins games.

I don't usually play marksman, I do rarely but only as kai'sa

Yeaaah after getting on my desktop and seeing what you DO play, i see the problem. Youre not playing champs who can split fast enough for the game in its current state.

Try picking up Tryndamere, fiora, or zed? Safe champions who waveclear really well are key to winning from the top lane.

Note for zed top: ravenous hydra and black cleaver are your best friends. Get that 40% CDR, some attack speed, and clear those waves faster than pre-rework malzahar!

I probably have the worst luck in ladder, but I can never complain because of my rank, so I just suffer in silence sometimes

It is easier to give blind advice if your match history has a large sample size of ranked games. Otherwise we need specific questions or footage.

You current match history tells us very little. Like... You 20-11 Kai'sa game.... You have 20 kills and only 97 CS which tells me that you aren't paying any attention to the lanes and the turrets. But just because you did that in one game doesn't mean you will do that in every game or every position for that matter. Play ranked. Play 1-2 champions. Play 1 main position. Give us a sample size to work with. OORRR you could ask a very nice person to watch several of your games and tell you what you are doing wrong fundamentally.

I tend to lose a lot as well... But that is mainly due to how weak Corki is right now. He is too fun of a champion to not play, which causes an automatic loss in games once I lock in Corki.

Anyhow, agree with others - focus on objectives and teamfighting.

Build item 3157 if you can - even on AD champions (preferably AD champions that have an AP scaling so the AP isn't a waste). Low elo has a tendency of underestimating the power of item 3157 on an AD champion - which makes it quite useful.

So you can simply play darius, the enemy top laner questions why you have item 3157, then he realizes you go by ap scaling and you activate the stasis under your turret while its fire at them, so you can scream out "SUCK STASIS KID" (I have been overusing that joke)

The AP would be a waste on Darius, but would be great at surprising and confusing the enemy. item 3157 allows you to have a safety net against the enemy team - especially since there may be an incredibly fed opponent and the safety net will help a lot.
