Is ranked rigged? Need advice on playing better.

SpaceCowboy31··1 votes·271 views

This is my first season playing ranked, and so far, I have managed to make it to B1. Here's the thing, if I have a bad game, I blame myself, I don't blame others for my mistakes and I try to keep cool and not tilt because flaming my teammates will get us nowhere. However, how does one come from a 5 game winning streak to a 5 game losing streak? I made it to B1 pretty much playing like I always do, but I have 3 games in a row where people would go AFK, with 1 game having 2 people going AFK at the SAME time and never coming back... I almost made it to silver promos while I was in B1, but I ended up losing a lot of games because I have been getting a lot of people who don't know what there are doing and going AFK. I've had games where people would go AFK at the beginning of a game, come back then go AFK again so we lose the option to remake the game... Why do people do this? As a result, I'm back in B2 with a 6 game losing streak, I admit that some are my fault, but most of the time it's my teammates.

So, my question is this, is ranked rigged? Also, I need advice on playing better, because I want to get out of bronze. Thank you :)

I feel like it's rigged sometimes especially where you are. I checked you out and I would just try to die less. My advice if you have a good laning phase where you dominate, don't get too headstrong late game because that's where things can go sour due to the enemy now having more items and are team fighting. Your tank's job is to initiate and shot call a fight. For instance, I play assassins and I can kill at least 2 back liners and escape without dying then my team's adc can mop them up. In order for me to do that though, I use diversions from my team. (communication needed) Just try not to get sloppy end game and engage where you're most likely to die. Don't leave your tank hanging when he engages but also don't just jump in swinging randomly.

I'm diamond 1 on my main account btw and have been masters for 2 seasons previously. Those losing streaks are rough btw, we all get them in all elos. I just take a break due to being supersticious. I truly feel like if you go on losing streak, you get some bad luck for a bit.

Yeah, I'm thinking of taking a break and just playing normals for a bit, then coming back when I feel confident enough. You're right, I do die a lot sometimes, I should play safe more if my opponent seems op. Thanks for the advice :D

it looks like you are a mid main who gets support and regardless of which role you 1 trick lux

i dont like lux alot as a support i dont think she can really protect and help an adc... you cant heal her. yea u have a shield... u have a binding and aoe slow and you can zone/burst

but in your last game you were vs a team of jax,lb,kayn who want to dive alot to kill their target

yes you had a tank in zac... but he is negated by vayne,

in all honesty ekko was the real issue on your team that game.

might want to work on matchups/team comps expand your champ pool a bit that you can bit a champ you are good with that can help your team at the same time.

this is all based on team comp of last game and stats of game. with out watching you play it would be hard to understand exactly where you need help. but the fact that you want to improve and ask for advice is going in the right direction.

at least you still get a SS item as lux when you support ( most wont) and redemption is ok ... but other then that you build damage... nothing to really protect your team with if you miss your binding

vs a lb/viegar comp maybe a item 3222 to help a carry if they get caught and maybe a item 3102 on yourself to have more MR vs their burst

also maybe vs a team that has alot of mobility that they do ... item 3092 to scout or slow them over item 2301 i know you lose a spot having to get SS separate and lose "damage items" but if you go item 3092 item 3107 item 2045 item 3222 item 3102 item 3020 you would have more utility and supportive items to help your team in the game. with out giving up too much ap still having 140ap but would be a harder target for yourself to die due to mr/hp and shield

just some things to consider when you play games.

a couple of good supports to pick up if you like the mage play style Janna Karma Morgana Nami Sona
