How Can You Guys Even Play This Game?

Prison Monkey·10/10/2018, 8:13:30 AM·22 votes·8,206 views

I get on today, play 11 games.

2 wins, 9 losses, in Plat 3.

Yet in every game, there is at least 1 or more players getting insanely bad KDA, not cooperating, and just dont care. Every. Single. Game. Hell I was playing, and even a dude said at the end that he was bronze 3 2 weeks ago and shot up to plat 4. I looked at this dudes recents and he doesnt even play like a plat player. Hes a mid lane main, getting 4-5 cs/m every game, never carries his games, yet hes plat. This is basically just telling me that this season is fully RNG based. As long as you just sit in lane and afk farm, and as long as you have luck on your side, then you will rank up. So now instead of playing with/against players that are your elo, youre just playing with a mix of everybody.

If season 9 fixes none of the problems the boards have addressed since PreSeason 8, then im uninstalling this game. This season is so stressful it hurts. The fact you can stomp your laner, yet the enemy laner can still 1v1 even though you have 4 kills on him just because hes playing meta champs like akali/irelia/kaisa is beyond absurd. Whats even the point of harassing the enemy anymore? This season has been sololy focused on who roams more. Is your mid laner afk farming while enemy mid laner roams? GG. Is your jungler afk farming instead of ganking? GG. Is your support stuck bot helping adc rather than roaming? GG. Is your top laner using tp to get to lane still? GG. This whole season is a joke, and Riot themselves should be ashamed. Not only because they ruined their one and only game, but the fact that they dont even seem to care considering the balance team still has a job for ruining the game even more.

was gonna do a whole joke response on how to litterarely open legue and play... etc. but just couldn't find the energy to do it. A serious answer if mine would be that league has shangd alot and movility and damage creep are high af. playing immobile champs is like bringing a knife to a gunfight. also tryhards exist and manybpeople in the community are toxic af.

Don't enjoy the game just don't play. I'm on the verge of doing so myself since many of my mains are becomming less viable patch after patch after season.

I was also in Plat back in s5 & s6, and have quit since s6 until 3 weeks ago. I was plat 1 81 lp, and lost around 14 in a row, eventually overtime dropping to plat 3; that's when I quit. Throughout the motions of playing since s2-present, I've come to the conclusion that well, this happens. Sometimes you have to realize, if you win 9 times in a row, you can lose 9 times in a row.

If you flip a coin 100 times, it will most likely be or be close to a 50 heads/ 50 tails scenario. There are other variables with League of course, but even if you're much better than a standard plat 3 player, you have the odds to lose repetitively as well. 50/50 chance to get garbage teammates, great teammates, and sometimes an entire team full of one or the other.

Meta "champs" exist in any game similar to here, whether it be DOTA, Overwatch, etc. You gotta understand that no matter what situation any game of this matter is, there will always be a meta. If you get 4 kills on your opponent laner, are you: Denying CS hard, getting objs with team/towers/kills. Your teammates are going negative, shouldn't they be moving forward hard as well if they're playing a meta champion? You could say no due to them not being able to get ahead, but that's my point. There must be a build path/mechanical skill they have to kill you if you're 4/0 on them. I've played 75 matches in the last 3 weeks, and haven't seen a case of this yet (i'm starting in gold however) unless I myself make mistakes. Jungling has been the recent route to take for me, easiest to roam and use map control to your advantage, and trying to communicate with my teams to do the extra work for me. Sometimes you just gotta figure out a way to counter-act your teammates who are allowing opponents to roam freely as well. Hell, a message saying "just push the tower" if they won't follow the roam can do wonders. Discord can do wonders as well. There are ways to work with people who somehow aren't playing their best, sometimes it doesn't work, but if you're willing to continue playing in a time of shorter game spans/hard carry meta, you've gotta try to figure a way to get the game on the right course before it's too late.

Good luck in solo q.

"If season 9 fixes none of the problems the boards have addressed since PreSeason 8, then im uninstalling this game.".... lol mate

just out of curiosty, how long have you been with the game? because no, none of the things will get fixed :) you will have to for LoL 2 for that

anyway I used to work for a gaming company, a quite hated one, in customer support and you sound exactly like the type of player that kept their sales up all the time

Honestly im with you on this it feels like i have no say in the games i play this season like i went 13/1 on Cassiopeia and lost because my top laner didnt group cause they wanted to 1v5 and save the world instead of just win

Moonscourge10/10/2018, 6:54:01 PM1 votes

Î'm not garbage, that's how. I don't spam games that much, if I lose I stop playing, if I win I continue. Simple.

So what's your solution based on this statement? Quit and never come back.

Minimac200010/11/2018, 12:30:32 AM1 votes

Honestly as a mechanically unskilled player myself, I have to say that carrying every game isn't always really necessary to climb. People underestimate the power of just consistently not feeding and not losing the game off of overly aggressive plays

I reached this conclusion a long time ago. If you still have hope that Riot will fix their game by this point... wow just wow. I WISH I could be that optimistic.

lol I just play 3s with friends cause I don't have enough friends for a reliable 5s team =p. 3s seems a bit better imo cause towers can actually hurt champions, more viable jungles cause like anything can jungle there, and big bonus: no fighting over the op infernal dragon for ages or feeding kills. Oh and no bs herald destroying half your base because your idiot team does not react to the summon at all.

I get on today, play 11 games.

2 wins, 9 losses, in Plat 3.

There are your problems. That's way too much playtime to spend in Ranked. Sure, if you got all day for yourself it's nice to play League all day but after playing 4 or 5 Ranked matches you should really stop and fuck around in Normals or other gamemodes or go do something else entirely. 2 reasons:

  • You cannot maintain optimal performance 11 games long. It's not for nothing that there's a 15-30 minute break between professional matches in best-of-3/5s, it's to recuperate from the effort put into playing as best you can. And at some point, even after a break you can't maintain a high level of performance until you've had a good nights' sleep. After 4-5 matches max you will start seeing a decline in performance and that will only grow worse the more you play.

  • You should not continue playing after 2 losses, at least not ranked. You're tilted and that means a HUGE drop in performance. Take a long break (as in multiple hours), go play another game-mode to just have fun with or just stop playing completely for the rest of the day.

in Plat 3

Unless you are a jungler never ever go solo in plat-low diamond elo. You need to duo to insure you have 1 less boosted monkey on your team but if you're the jungler then better jungler wins in plat+ elo.
