Why do I bother, honestly?

Doesn't matter what I do or who I play, no matter how well or bad I do, I lose every game because my bot lane feeds their ass off, and at least one other lane feeds their ass off. Doesn't matter if I'm 10/0 at this point, since my team has fed 40+ kills. Then the enemy team's EVER so weak ADC hard carries their team, and I lose automatically.

People tell me it's my fault, but I don't know what the fuck I can honestly do.

you have a 52% win rate overall and sure a 47% win rate in the last 20 games (ranked) but everyone goes through loss streaks.

you'll climb, simple as long as you maintain a 51% win rate you will climb, admittedly slowly but you will climb.

Okay, but see, I had over 4,000 games in silver last season with similar W/L rates. My champ stats have gone up, and I do better in games, but it just doesn't matter.

I wish climbing was determined by your own skill, instead of relying on four other morons to not feed their asses off.

Like I told you a year ago, stop picking champions at random. Select the ones you are good at and master them. You can't blame your bot lane for you having a 38% win rate on a champion but you keep using it when you had a 54% option with 3x as many games.

You're talking about Lulu, in which case I had a 6:1 average on her at the time. I hard carried my teams, but I had to rely on my team at the same time in order to win. That's why I lost so much on Lulu. My champs with higher winrates are harder carry champs, so I don't rely on my team quite as much -- even if I'm not as good at those champs.

Guess relying on my team to do anything is a mistake.

It definitely does matter. How could boosters exist if your own skill doesn't matter? How do good players consistently achieve their ranks? If you're better than the people around you, fanastic. Here is what you do. Smash your lane, get your turret early, then go to your teammates lanes and smash it for them. Take their turrets and kill their laners if they stay. Extend your lead to your teammates as well. Make the gold lead so insurmountable that it doesn't matter how badly they play, they have the gold to back them up.

but it does matter, boosters exist and they need to consistently be able to reach the ELO's required, on call, quickly and evidently they can.

in this regard smurfs also achieve there desired ELO easily, for instance you dont see high ELO players stuck in low ELO thats because they are both individually better and better at controlling the map.


stop focusing so much on fighting and more about objectives, push more and take something, if your team for example is fighting on one side of the map and you won't get there in time to either A) win the fight out B)clean up, dont bother ignore the flame push and take a turret or two they are then forced to back and defend or lose more objectives, atleast 1-2 will recall, rotate and push another lane/dragon or clear the enemy jungle or simply back and defend the best you can.

focus less on you and less on killing and more on the map. i did this last season in flex solo (i usually duo) and i went from S5 > G4 as jungle so i could push and be obnoxious in pushing and would of gone higher if i didn't have a newborn and had fatherly duties to attend to.

If your team is feeding, your choices are either to carry harder, or find some way to help them to get back into the game.

The number of times I've been 4 man ganked bot is staggering yet despite my top laner having TP up and there being a ward in the bot lane bush, no one ever TPs to help us. Doesn't matter if my mid laner is 20/0, they will continue to stay mid and sit there complaining when bot dies to the third 4 man gank this game without even bothering to ping the MIA. Even if they don't want to come bot and help us, roam to each others lane and get each other further ahead.

The other thing to try is if bot lane feeds, play bot lane so that you can affect that lane and maybe stop it from feeding.

If your skill is high(er) enough you can just carry.

If challenjour smurfs or boosters can you do, you can to :D [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
