What kind of losing streak is this

I did a sort of experiment with my win/loss ratio and what my contribution was towards receiving that ratio. Now its nothing too thorough but with the results I have to say that it sticks out.

**dont comment unless you've read between both sets of astrisks(it looks like they just turned into lines)

I played pantheon top for 8 games in a row and only won the last game I played. At least compared to the people I play with I am very good when top and get first blood like 50% of the time. As laning phase goes on I usually get 3+ kills, but as pantheon I will run out of mana often I find it hard to both kill the enemy laner, push to turret, then actually get a decent amount of hits on it. Instead I usually back after a kill as i have little to no mana and a quarter to half hp. In this process I get stalled top where I cant help another lane that is doing bad ( lost a turret, 2 v 1, 3 v 1, not there while turret is being taken). Most people will probably point out that that is not a problem if u have summoner 12 and i run summoner 4 summoner 14. (After you have read the whole thing I would like to point out that I know teleport would allow me to help other lanes easily, but I dont think everygame should be a comeback that i need to initiate.)

I dont usually get a lot of help with my lane, but i dont have a problem with that. The problem is going back to my laning phase ability im usually the most fed and able to help other lanes (the jg just doesnt have the gaurantee of a successful gank that i do.... in the cases i examined). Anyways for one game the enemy team didnt have a jg instead they just went duo top and i dealt with it and ended up like 5/0 or 5/1 just from laning phase. Bot was struggling so i decided to help, but convinced that my team was a bunch of shitheads that wouldnt listen to any pings i gave out I stated some things in chat beforehand. (paraphrased) 'im 1 v 2 top so i probably wont be getting their tower any time soon' 'i'll come bot but i just need somebody to hold top as i help the other lanes' I go mid take the turret, the enemy team gets herald, i then go bot take turret while the enemy akali summons herald top lane and nobody is there to stop her as she takes 2 turrets in a row.


****One of my big questions coming from this is--- Why didn't my team listen to me when it is obvious that if lane is abandoned it is going to be taken?

I purposefully ignored top after leaving this time because its not the first or second or even tenth time this has happened. It happens all the time, but I just return to my lane usually. This time I had to confirm that even after I don't return and 2 towers were taken that nobody went to stop it, and thats exactly what happened. Over a span of what was 4-5 minutes nobody went top when i asked and nobody went top when it was getting plowed by akali and her herald. This brings me to a realization of the people im matched with... they dont see other lanes as their lanes even if it is a team game. i imagine as top was being taken that they thought "why isnt pantheon doing anything... not my problem i guess". I believe that mid and bot on their own would have lost us the game sooner although i also didnt allow any further pushing of top lane either so even in the end my lane held strong.

My KDA was never horrid within these 8 games the worst being 1/3/0 or 4/5/0. Besides these 2 games i never fed and i didnt fuck my laning up either. **Next big question--- With me being a part of the team having an either positive or no effect on how successful our early game is why did I never get carried. What I mean is in all of these cases I was always the most well off... putting the responsibility of carrying in my hands, so within the 7 games i lost why was i never matched up so i did poorly or meh and my team did well and helped my lane.

**im looking for advice or an explanation. That being said it must be logically sound... no deus ex machinas of how the match making system is god and ur trash or other meaningless comments that serve no purpose of helping anybody or anything. So if you're going to suggest something provide reasoning.


There werent even games where i was the reason we lost... to my knowledge at least. The closest thing too it was the game where i went 1/3/0. I was going against kled and my shaco jg tried to gank but the bush was warded i tried my best to engage/ protect/ kill but shaco was level 5 and was behind since kled was level 7 he was killed fairly fast. Then kled went mid and shaco goes 1 v 2 and just gets killed again ( in a situation that he did not have to engage in)... he wasnt baited, he wasnt ganked, no surprises, he just went head on 1 v 2 and got killed. I was winning against kled before this, even got the first blood, but then shaco fed him and the whole team blamed me.
