Question to Riot. Do you feel like a Gold 5 to Diamond 5 skilled player could single handedly (solo q) carry themselves from low elo account... lets says bronze 2 or lower mmr? At the rate I am going I will be going to bronze despite my skill my level.

So I Climbed from Silver v to Gold V this season after carrying nearly every game. This I got to Gold V promos and I have had nothing but trolls, dcs, afks, for months. I do know how I am expected to win in the system. All I know is I am silver 3 after getting Gold 5 after 2 months of climbing, I lost gold 5 in 2 days.

I doesnt matter how good I am, what my KDA is, if i place wards or if i try to get the team to group mid to late game. My team wont win.

Note that my 3-8 game on Vi.. I have a friggin Taric Mid... (should I dodge? happens every f**ing game, some troll lane) we had no damage to kill any one.. really Taric to fight zed..

This s*** is making me rage I almost dont care any more, why should I be punished because of other peoples lack of skill, common sense, or just intelligence. I will be banned sooner or later just because my team doesnt even listen.

Why do you not call mid to play Ziggs and if not that then support to play Nami?

You've started playing all different champs including Trist with whom your win rate is bad. Derp.

Nobody can single-handedly carry a game unless they're against a seriously awful team. That's by design. League of Legends is a team game. Sometimes you get matched with teammates that cause you to lose even when you're doing well. Sometimes you get matched with teammates that carry you to victory even when you're having a crap game (don't pretend that doesn't happen sometimes.) Also consider that the enemy team is going to be randomly assigned a feeder, an AFK or a bad player at a higher rate than your team as long as you're not one of them (because there's five random players on the enemy team and four on yours; assuming you always play well you should still climb.)

If the randomness of your teammates in Solo Queue is really bothering you, form a full ranked team. But it isn't going to stop people from having off days or bad games from time to time, including you.

I was plus 20+W over or losses. I now -20W under my losses. Meanwhile I am improving my own skills yet I do not win even 50% of the time now.

Its seems as though I cant even avoid the kind of kids that I am getting. Also I dont have this problem in 3s, Literally will about 75% of my game when I play a team of people I know and who are good.

I normally lose games because the people I get are new to ranked or league of legends in general. Surprisingly kids with hundreds of games think LoL is deathmatch, especially if we are ahead. Most of those Ziggs win are me just pushing mid alone.

I go mid another lane will just lose.

I am focusing on playing jungle carries or top lane with tele for late game.

I cant play Ziggs every game because I dont always get mid, I was 20-8 with Vi earlier this season, I am 22-22 with her now.
