I just want to vent about my games today
Because it's a Wednesday and I have Comcast, my day starts off with high ping at 10AM. Hitting 100-300 on average with no problem and no changes since the new server move.
I also want to note that I finished Season 5 off with a promotion to Bronze 4. Typically, the second I hit Bronze 4, I get bombarded with AFK's, trolls and bad players, usually losing 4 of 5 games.
Game 1 - We have the debut of Lux ADC with a Morg Support. It was a complete destruction. We begged Lux not to do it, but Lux said in her immortal words "It can work". She gets stomped. My mid lane which I had knocked 2 turrets down in then gets stomped. Top lane gets stomped, leading to a 20:55 loss.
Game 2 - I play Ranked and I pick Gangplank top. Lux and Yasuo fight over mid and top and they settle on Lux support with Yasuo mid. We have Lux, Yas, Trundle, GP and Ashe vs Riven, Jinx, Vayne, Cho and Jax. From the start, Jinx seems to be able to pound on me at will at top lane. Jinx hits my barrels before I can and her shots are more powerful than my crits. With an ADC at top who has no escape, the obvious tactic would be to gank top silly, right? Nope. Had 3 deaths by the time someone came. Their advice? Hug turret. Yes, I should hug a turret against a long range shooter. They get a gank or two in, but someone dies and another gank leads to nothing. I'm absolutely livid at our Jungle by this point as the first turret goes and #2 follows shortly after. Of course the enemy team sees this and starts to jump on top, making us have just the 3rd turret remaning. Our Trundle picks up a ton of kills during all of this, but still, all lanes are lost.
I start to help the team as all three lanes are lost. They pick a 2 on 3 fight and I go from behind to help out. Team then runs away making it a 3 on 1 easy death. Eventually Trundle comes in and clears house. Later in another team fight, Trundle watches me 1 on 1 on Cho while he goes for Blue. By that point, I'm just done. I lost my lane and the team wasn't helping, plus my ping was high. We eventually lost as Trundle went off about how bad we are.
Game 3 - J4, Trist(me), Kindred, Lux and Sona vs Leona, MF, Yasuo, Mundo and Rammus. Initially, I am concerned as I see they have lots of tanks, while we have 0 and I see the Lux/Sona combination to be one that isn't gonna be pushing so hard. I looked at Sona's history and I couldn't find a single Sona game. I ask Sona what's up and he said it's a first time Sona in ranked. I start to get angry and Kindred tries to talk me down, then gives up as Sona loses first blood. Sona proceeds to not throw a single ward while I have to buy a sightstone as Trist just to have an eye on Leona. I notice immediately that MF is hitting high powered shots on me. Within 2 auto's, I'm already at half health. I start to look at MF's history, which is here http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=soulzxxravish, and somehow, after 7 games of having an under 2 KDA, she now has high kills and a high KDA. Did she just get that much better? Doubt it. Anyway, she proceeds to destroy all of us while J4 Top against Mundo naturally proves to be a bad idea. My ping goes stays at 100-360+ all game making me rather useless. I mentally just quit during the game as the ping, smurfs and just plain stupidity get to me.
Game 4 - User 'PRO Player na' says he is a troll and will feed. I dodge. Riot Support Ticket #19419159
Game 5 - 2-10 Ahri, 5-14 Sona in 30 min
I just don't get why this game has to be like this. Ranked seems to be a combo of smurfs, people who don't care and then people like me who take it seriously but get brought down. I've played normals for the last few weeks and have had little problems, but within a few games, I feel like I've seen it all. Two ranked games make me never want to play again, while normals are okay but never really feel that rewarding.
and push turrets and farm all game long, avoid fights, farm, push, get objectives.
