Feels like all my losses come with some kind of caveat

It's almost never just losing because one team just played better or capitalized on an opportunity. That's like 1 out of every 10 losses.

Sometimes my botlane will still be in provisionals and have no history playing ranked, vs. people as high as Gold 3 and sometimes Gold 2.

Sometimes someone will do a troll pick but I tell myself "high elo smurfs get through this stuff all the time, it's just a part of the game." Something like Leblanc support and full AP Malph jungle.

Or sometimes someone AFKs for the first few minutes and comes back before we can remake, or continues to DC and we start the game at a pretty high disadvantage.

And yeah you'll probably look at my match history and be like "Oh you're a Jax player quit complaining." Only reason I play Jax is cause he's strong enough to give a fighting chance in all these scenarios. If I played the champions that I really wanted to play all these game would likely be auto-losses. At least on Jax I can get fed enough to carry said situations.

end rant. I'm going to go have some ice cream.
