Why do I keep losing? (Actual Questions)

The Wet Baguette·1/14/2016, 4:57:15 AM·1 votes·753 views

So, I mostly play norms, not a lot of ranked. In ranked, however, I am a bronze 1 scrub.

I'm being matched with high silvers and low golds.

I am not good and am on a nineteen game losing streak.

Someone either tell me how to beat silvers and golds or tell me the game is broken because I really, really feel I should not have these players in games with me and am very sick of losing every single game.

Thank You ;_;

league uses something called MMR to decide who you will be matched with and against. it stands for matchmaking rating. the MMR in team builder is fucked up and terribly innaccurate, i see you've been playing a lot of teambuilder. though even in draft normals, your MMR will be more accurate, but if you're playing with a duo and one of them is higher ranked than the other, the game will try to get higher ranked players for the enemy team too to balance the mmr. make sense?

Who do you play? Where? What are your typical team comps? I have a theory but I'm gonna need info. Feel free to post match history.

Generally? Die less, cs better, always focus on getting objectives (including baron).

Normals matchmaking is wider, yes, you will be matched with players that are outside your mmr. In general, it's balanced so both teams have the same overall skill level, not the players on both teams having the same skill level. If you don't like that, play ranked.

If you realize you are laning against someone who is a lot better than you, the best thing you can do is to not die and farm (and not die). There might be someone on your team who is a higher skill level and can carry the game if you sit tight and let them do their stuff.

I've been trying to learn how to adc so I've been playing that mostly. A lot of Lucian, someone told me it was safer. I like to think my best role is jungle but probably not.
