Tired of feeders :/

I don't find it exactly fair that those of us who do well during ranked games get punished for the rest of the team going 0/10/0 and your 2/3/0 and your only deaths are from the feeding lanes :/ my whole pre-ranking has been this setup minus like 2 games... and because of it i'll probably get stuck in bronze... which is completely unfair... since i crush normals all day, but my team always feeds when i play ranked -.- its like... "alright.... laning is done... i went 4/0.. sweet... lets wreck some noobs" -looks at the score... sees 4-25-... and just be like "well.... shit -.-"

Let's discuss a bit of logic, shall we?

You are not special, and here is why!

Riot has not picked a special place for you, where you are in ranked is determined by your MMR. What this means is that every player around that MMR will be roughly the same skill.

Let's assume you are (kinda) special and you are actually way better than your MMR. This means that you are not a feeder. 10 Players play in a game of league of legends. Assuming that you are the only good player then 9 are feeders. Therefor you will have a huge advantage, as your team will have 4 feeders while the other team will have 5! You just need to be the one who gets fed, and if you are way above your MMR this should not be an issue.

League is a game that is too multifaceted to be determined by KDA, or "feeding" vs "not feeding". What role(s) were you playing? If you were ahead did you try to pass on your advantage to any of the other lanes? If you are better than your MMR, how did someone out carry you? Could you have warded for your other lanes? Could you have set up a gank or counter gank? Did you get global objectives using your power to bring back your team from a bad lanning phase? Did you communicate what the team should do to stay in the game, or just flame the "feeders"?

Remember that often times, feeding is a team activity.

Try to help the other lanes then. Top? Bring TP or walk down there. Mid? ROAMING MID IS A THING. Support? Roam up around the map. ADC? Get the turret and then roam to mid. Jungle? It's literally your job.

Here's what a lot of lower-level players have trouble understanding: if one of your lanes is doing badly, congratulating yourself for being so much better than those scrubs and resolving to say "OMG who fed him/her/them???" when it eventually becomes your problem is NOT a strategy.

Not if you plan to win, anyway.

Oh ye all of little faith, you read way too much into this.... i do roam, i try to gank, do everything i possibly can to help my team... OR... i'm completely stuck in lane because my opp is actually on my level (which is what usually happens)

& @Der Lindwurm... i dont say things like that... its just rude... i just go "welp... he's fed... shit happens... lets play smart" and after i say the word 'smart'... my team usually crams their heads further into their asses while sitting on their hands and playing with their feet/butts.

@Garlic Bread Zed... As stated before... it's useless to flame people, just makes things worse... i've come back from no turrets, just the nexus left, because the teams finally got their heads out of their tuckas and played smart. and I've had my fair share of 'bad matches' where I end up getting crushed in lane... and i dont blame anyone for those but myself.. warding is almost never an issue with me, because when ihit level 9 i prioritize getting my green trink upgraded to greater stealth.. meaning i can drop more wards... hit happens... i'm not mad... just upset that i can never get a decent team.. its like i get the higher MMR of the group 99/100 of the matches for my team, and the other team gets based off of me.... as for getting carried.... HA! screw that, i carry, i dont get carried... i refuse to duo que anyways... my friends all got lucky placement 10s getting gold+ while i kept getting the short end of thestick & stuck in bronze, so i couldn't even be carried by my friends if i wanted too.... but during those placement 10s, the MMR system afterwards for placement was quite harsh on me... since i usually ended up the only positive score on my team & the most CS.. midlane main, followed by top and adc.. constantly helping my team, rarely even in my own lane, but always fighting MY lane opponents... (and winning against them in 1v1s as azir / fizz / ekko etc etc)
