In a ranked slump, any ideas how to end it?

Arctic Snow Wolf··2 votes·947 views

I am on a 8 game loosing streak. 3w 10L, I went from mid gold 4 to gold 5 on the line of getting demoted to silver after the next 2 or so losses. I am scared af to play ranked right now. I have no idea why the League gods have decided to curse me all of a sudden. basically I have what Pants are Dragon had a couple months back that brought him to low Masters but worse, I am a support main that has played support 100% of games this season (thanks to the new autofill protection, and support being the most hated role in league). I have no idea what is gone on, I don't think my game play is bad, my teammates are trash but so is everyone in low elo. I am going back and watching my games spotting things that I have to work on move. But what keeps happening is no one is listening to pings I do, or they just have pings muted, they keep trying to fight 24/7 like in bronze, teammates having poor positioning. Does anyone have any ideas how to deal with this. I play tanks and squishies, alistar, tahm kench, name, janna, karma Note: as a comment below shows someone nit picking a single line that makes it seem like I am blaming my teams fully. well I don't, When I said my teammates are trash but so is everyone in low elo, I am included in that because I am in low elo and I am trash. I do not blame my teammates 100% for my lose streak a lot of it is on me and I know it

Take a full days break and watch some Commando YI videos. Best learning tools since uwlolsoc.

First, don't agonize too much about it. Losing sprees happen, they suck, just look at small things you can do to improve.

It might be worth taking a few minutes to look over your Runes and Masteries. Double check what's there, see what others are doing, see if that makes sense for you, and change it as needed.

Another thing I recommend is limit yourself to one Ranked game a day until you start pulling out of your slump. Even if it's a win, take the win and go play a Normal game. That'll help untilt you a bit and build your confidence back up.

It looks like you generally prefer disengage style supports with lots of peel. It might be helpful to add Leona to your pool, for teams that can't get enough fighting you can at least dictate when the fight starts or follow up easier.

Yeah, that that's a good idea, all of it. Most of my runes are built around the champions weakness, like nami's mana weakness add mana regen like 3 or 4. And what ive seen from looking at probuilds, like analyzing multiple peoples rune pages seeing what they have similar and building on it, but I'm for sure going to look over all the runes and update them thank you. Leona would be a good add on. she does everything alistar can except engage and peel at the same time with her ult. Ive been an alistar main so like a low elo idiot, ive always beat leos in lane so to me alistar was the superior support but yeah I see she can be a lot better in the mix. Thank you for your help have a great week and GL man.

well man not your just nit picking at my post without quoting the whole line. here is the original line: my teammates are trash but so is everyone in low elo. now going off that the key point in the line is "but so is everyone in low elo" meaning EVERYONE including me because I am in low elo. so I am calling myself trash aswell. and ty for point in a flaw in my post. I didn't want to make it a point about me blaming my teammates because I don't blame them 100%. a lot of it is on me because well I don't know why but I know it is. I do what I can in lane usually making it out even, a little behind, or ahead and just bad luck that the rest of my lanes do not make it out as any of those.
