Losing streaks.

Blame The Vayne·6/20/2017, 9:51:39 AM·37 votes·12,579 views

So it all started 2-3 weeks ago when I had a good win streak of like 9-10 wins. And after that, out of nowhere, this MASSIVE losing streak just comes upon me. What can I do? How can I start winning again? Like, in this period of time, I deranked from Gold 1 to Gold 4, and I keep falling. Please, help me. My op.gg: https://eune.op.gg/summoner/userName=Blame%20The%20Vayne

Riot does this thing, if you climb too quickly they will put players who are less experienced than you to kind of force you to lose to keep an average win rate.

There's nothing you can do but hope that each game there isn't that one ass player who brings the entire team down by tilting

You're dying a lot. Even if you say you're not tilted, you are. Take a break.

if you are actually trying to win maybe you should stop playing 50 different roles and 50 different champions.

stop playing rank. Chill a little bit, play some normals or aram until you get rid of all this negative energy inside you. When you start to average the winning and losing games in normals go back to rank feeling well rested.

nothing you can do about it, i've spent about 2500 games in platinum over my league career. It is extremely prevalent up here.

DW you will get a good win streak to push you back to g1 and probably even platinum. Its a matter of playing a lot, not neccisaraly just being good

This is the biggest cause of frustration for me recently.

I went from diamond 2 to diamond 5 because of a huge lose streak of 3-17 in the last 20 games.

Every. single. one. of those 17 games werent even close. They all had either a feeder, a rager, someone that just left the game or a player that abnormally plays like he never saw his champion before.

Seriously made me consider quitting for a while.

I haven't lost more than 2 games in a row from Gold V to Gold I (78 LP). Here's some advice.

Take short breaks between games to recollect yourself Only play champions you feel comfortable playing. I just spammed Miss Fortune and LP came easily. Always try, don't go on autopilot Don't feed your laner, if anything goes wrong just try to farm Pick champions which are useful during the late game Focus on farming and objectives, so don't hunt for kills Help your team. If they do something stupid, just try to fix it yourself

If you do this every game, you won't get any losing streaks asnlong as you're atleast at the ELO where you belong

Whenever my ranked winrate starts closing in on 60%, I start getting put on teams that are toxic and so ignorant of fundamentals that they absolutely stand no chance against the enemy team. This keeps happening until my winrate is back at around 50% and my MMR is stomped down to what it "should" be according to my rank. It happens far too consistently and predictably to be a coincidence every time.

Same happened to me a while back. I was bursting through gold series in just a few weeks. I went from gold 5 to gold 2 and only one game away(in promo) from gold 1, then suddenly I was paired with afks, or extreme feeders, and I dropped right back to gold 5. I went on a literal 20 games loss streak and it wasn't explainable. I still played the same champs and I still got fed but it wouldn't matter... weird af if you ask me.

Yep, we all have these kinds good/bad streaks. In some of the games, it isn't our fault we lose.. but most of the time there's something we did/didn't do individually to change a losing game into a victory.

Looking at your op.gg, I suggest you take a step back and look at the replays of every game--whether it is a win or loss. There's many points in a game where we--individually--do not use our time/lead efficiently. Taking an educated guess here, but--after looking at your op.gg--there's several games where you popped off (in other words, you had a giant lead) and still did not win--I believe you might want to work on your understanding of using any lead effectively.

If you work on using your lead effectively and watching your game replays, you will be able to fix key issues and proceed to climb again.
