Constantly losing ranked

zundervain··1 votes·853 views

Ok, so I'm in silver 2 currently and have lost 12 out of 17 games i played in the last couple days. I'm not going to say I'm the best player and deserve to be in a higher ranking because lets face it, this consistent losing streak isn't all my teams fault. I'll play every role, I try and go either mid or top, but I'll fill if those roles are taken. I just don't know what is causing me to lose so many games. Even when my team appears to be decent, and i did well in my lane, something always happens that makes us lose the game. Either consistent bad calls from my team, or stupid engages by me. Some games I'm doing amazing and my team just kinda sucks so i think to myself it was my teams fault. Other games my team does pretty good and I sucked and i think it was my fault. But even when both I do good and my team does good we still somehow manage to lose (even if the enemy isn't that great). I'm really trying to improve so any advice to how to play better and how to work with the team better would be great! Also I would love to duo with someone from gold or plat or higher just so I could see what I'm doing wrong/ right and how to stop losing.

Play lots of normal games, untill you consistantly Carry. First of all Roaming wins games, not winning a Single lane.

Always ask yourself how many Lanes did i Dominate for my team ?

ALways push towers when you can and take dragons, make sure you are active on the map and your impact is large.

Untill 50% of the map is influence by you, that is the point you can carry effectively with Good Winrate.

Forexample a Midlaner that Trashes his own lane and Botlane

OR a Toplaner that Won his lane and TPED bot and took dragon.. these type of players usually have no problems winning,

When they have the chance to close they also Close the game.. quickly that means KILL then Push towers and not Back for no reason.

Roaming is easier said than its done tho. More often than not its just not worth, youre gonna maybe lose a tower, your team is dead/ too low already anyway, your enemies are so fed, they would probably just kill you too,...

Yea i was gonna say this. I mean if I see the opportunity i go for it. But a lot of times the situation isnt good. I have to way the cost of teleing bot to save the adc and lose top, or hope the adc can survive by themselves and save top.

Also whats the best way to go about when your trying to push during an advantage and the teammates back for no reason, or to buy items, etc. I find it's very difficult to convice them otherwise.

''Roaming is easier said than its done tho. More often than not its just not worth, youre gonna maybe lose a tower, your team is dead/ ''

You need alot of practice in timing Aggression, also once you get good at it, losing tower wont be a Issue, because you will take much much more in exchange and If you are Truly strong, you can still take his Tower when you return and ''Losing'' your lane is less likely if you are a Good player instead you worry about the other lanes because they infinitely are mostly worst.. but in general you plan ahead, as in Kill mid and then Push bot, etc.. just a simple example Being good at Roaming takes skill and Lots of practice in normals, you don't just get Good at it, you need to do it alot and then it becomes second nature.

''your team is dead/ too low already anyway, your enemies are so fed, they would probably just kill you too,...''

Example of a Bad roamer.. he does things after everyone is far behind.. ''Roaming'' is done really early, the faster the better, if you let lanes get trashed then your not a good ''baby'' sitter.. usually you Co-ordinate with the Jungler, if you are a Laner and Hope to get a 4 vs 2 or 3 vs 1 scenario to get back into the game.. Inshort you don't just let things slide into oblivion. communicate alot with your Jungler.. if you are the Jungler make sure to Free up mid and ask him to Gank bot with you for a 4 vs 2.

''But a lot of times the situation isnt good. I have to way the cost of teleing bot to save the adc and lose top, or hope the adc can survive by themselves and save top.''

You do not Teleport to save anyone.. YOu teleport to make plays and Take the Drake and maybe even a Tower.. If your mentality is to defend, then you will lose all your games.. Mentality should be to TP in first while talking to Jungler to come etc. league is a Numbers game, Once you trash Bot with more people.. YOu take drake + Tower etc.. now your team is ahead in Gold.. You then Roam mid Same story.. You then keep trashing everywhere.. Meanwhile that other Player on your lane has minimal impact on the map

Okay so that other Guy took Top tower.. So what ?? 5 minutes later you take his tower.. nothing has been gained.. except You took a Dragon + Tower and Now also put Botlane in better situation.. Meanwhile Top took a tower he would have taken anyway.. Since its not a Inner tower.. it matters very little.. You must understand Value.. your ''Map'' Presence is what creates victory.. a Player that influences many sides of the map Carries teams.. not a Player that Protects one Tower top.. How much value is that top tower ? Not much in comparison in Putting bot ahead and Taking Bot tower and taking a Drake.. I would say its a great trade.

League is a Team game.. you shoudl be able to Defend top even After being set slightly behind.. if you can't then you are too weak to carry.. I set myself behind in order to babysit other lanes, because i Know i can still do really good despite a Slight disadvantage from Roaming, While i expect my team to not even Win their lanes with advantage.. so do remember You win League by carrying the worst, not by Winning over the best.

Its that simple.

Its that simple on paper... or on screen kek... but actually there are many things that stop you from roaming effectively, at least in low elo. Its not coordinated at all there...

Keep in mind that not every loss is not entirely your fault. League is a team game, meaning that it takes more than one person to carry, but only one person to throw. After a lose streak of ranked, don't put yourself under so much pressure and stress and just take a break playing norms.
