I seriously need some help

Ben SwoIo··1 votes·298 views

I have no idea what my problem is. Since my last post, things just got worse. I've dropped to 0 LP in Gold 5 and now have a silver 2 MMR. I've tried so many different things, switched up roles, took breaks, and whatever else. NOTHING seems to work. I just seem to constantly log on and lose 3-5 before i get ONE single win. It's a crazy pattern that just does not seem like I'm able to break. My 46% win percentage is just getting worse. My team quality is just getting worse. I honestly am starting to believe I'm cursed or some shit. I'm constantly having people AFK, troll picking, or feeding hard. No one listens to pings whatsoever in at this MMR level. This is just a horrible experience right now.

I play pretty consistently and do everything I can to help the team. I feel like the skill level here is noticeable worse than what I should be at. Simple mechanics and decisions are lacking here, and it angers me that this is the level the game has placed me at. SOMETHING must be missing from myself. There must be SOMETHING I could do better to get out of this shit hole. I hate it. If anyone could help me in any way, I would appreciate it. I'm sick of this logging on and losing multiple matches shit. It's NOT fun whatsoever.

Try climbing in flex solo. It is still ranked and can be even more challenging (so far though I didn't notice much difference).

There are few possible reasons why you feel so:

  1. As your MMR drops you are matched with lower skilled players. You being with highest MMR supposed (by the system) to carry the team.
  2. Desperate to get off lose streak train you are ready for any risky moves, that you feel can reward you well. For example you started working on your team.. any reasons why ? did you do this before ? why do you believe you can trust winning the game to random players ? ( I don't encourage you to not help the team, but make it reasonably) You are trying to stick to anything you feel can win you a game without looking at alternatives (eg working on stupid player, who got luckily fed, then he jumps into enemy and dies, all your efforts are wasted)
  3. You tilt too much and ff. In such situation you should never ff, just hope on luck (e.g enemy DC)
  4. Your ego blinds you and you are actually not any better than your team, neither you carry, feeling otherwise and not respecting your team you flame them or/and give up, leading to another lose.

Practise in normals transiting into flex good carry champions (e.g Camille, Jayce, Tristana, Corki, Cassiopeia, Azir) make sure these champions are not team reliant (or require minimum team cooperation) , as you shouldn't rely on your team. See how well you perform. If you mostly carry your team (like really carry). Try it in solo ranked.

P.S it has a huge disadvantage though, if you don't know the role you decided to practise it can take a really long time to finally play it well. (depending on learning curve of champion and yours). That's actually what happened to me. I tried to switch from sup to mid, but it just took me long time, and I gave up on this , getting back to sup role and just one tricking Brand.
