Climbing soloq rarely has anything to do with your individual skill - rant from an OCE pleb

Winning soloq just means Team A > Team B.

Also, promos are a joke. I was in my fourth promos for plat 3 and now I am 5lp in plat 5, (20% tilt, 80% all other games are decided before 20 minutes). I haven't changed anything with my play style, hell I have even won games as jungle Leona because soloq is an absolute fucking joke.

I don't mind losing, but I fucking hate losing with a passion when people can't understand that killing the nexus wins the game.

I fucking hate playing soloq when games are incredibly one sided. I salivate when a game is actually close strategically and its not all about NAH LETS TDM TDM TDM

When I play soloq I don't expect other players to be pro and stomp their lane, all I ask is that you aren't completely fucking retarded and be able to lift your own body weight.

FAQ

Q: "elle oh elle exx dee why dnt u just git gud?" A: This is a team game, the problem is trying to get 5 strangers to consistently work collaboratively. Hint: most people have an ego the size of yo mamma

Q: "But people can carry singlehandedly and climb up" A: IMO this is more about the other team being absolute trash tier and lacking the ability to understand the fundamentals of the game, ofc you're going to destroy beginner bots.

Q: "If you're good you'll just climb back eventually" A: The point is that is a fucking waste of time, I now have to win so many more games just to get back where I fucking was before I can progress. Promos is actually making me want to troll so hard in game because games are usually decided before you even pick a champion.
