1/3 of my games are un - winnable

Hallbuster·Jun 9, 2017·2 votes·293 views

For every 3 games, I expect a loss. Sometimes I'm lucky and go on a winning streak, but it averages out regardless of what happens. There are just so many feeders/trolls/AFK's in my game and not anyone else's that I'm really starting to give into this Elo Hell myth. All it takes is one game where I fail to carry or make even the smallest mistake and I'm back down to where I was previously. I had 36 wins vs losses in blind pick a few days ago and now I'm not moving past 25. Just shows how flawed this system really is. I'm starting to lose faith in Riot and this game in general.

I swear, if you took half the time you spend making these threads and used it to develop a deeper understanding of the metagame and practice more champs, you'd be Plat by now.

I gave up trying to master a single champion and opted to be a one trick instead playing Vladimir. I know the basics of both micro and macro level play. You last hit minions, you aa your opponent once they go for CS, you ward bushes, you look at the map and roam after pushing a wave, you don't overextend without a group or without vision, you take objectives when you know the enemy is dead or far away, is there anything else I missed?

This is barely even touching the surface, let alone scratching it. There is a huge amount of depth to each of those.

You last hit minions

With what? AA? Abilities? Where will you position for each one? How does that change depending on the matchup? How does the junglers position affect yours? How can you position to prevent the enemy from punishing you for csing while still being close enough to punish them? Are they going to clear the wave? If so, should I stand off to the side to force them to hit me or hit the wave, then punish accordingly?

you aa your opponent once they go for CS

What if they fake you out? Can you take the fight? Wheres the jungler? Where are my wards? Can I safely go up?

you ward bushes

Which,where, and when? What route did the jungler take? I saw him topside at 3:30 with 5 cs and level 3, so what camps did he take? Where does that mean he will be now? Should I ward dragon early and risk vision fading during an extended engagement or dance around the objective or should I ward it later and risk them already being there?

you look at the map and roam after pushing a wave

No. You need to be looking at the minimap far more often. Your wards are going to be useless if you're only looking after each pushed wave. Roaming is highly situational.

you don't overextend without a group or without vision

Generally yes

you take objectives when you know the enemy is dead or far away

Sure, if they're free take it. But how will you get it when your enemy isn't stupid? How will you create opportunities? When is a good time to slowpush?

is there anything else I missed?

A good bit, even on what you said. There is no way you understand all of that and are applying it to your games and can't climb.

Why do you care? If your only playing this game to brag about your elo and not for fun go play a sport or something. This is a game. People play these so called games for fun. It is also blind pick, why do you care about your blind pick stats? Also if you truly believe this go watch a pro and they will almost always play well so they are doing something your not. Just a thought, do with it what you will.

This logic is why this community gets ripped on. Just because it's not ranked people think it's ok to feed/afk/troll or do something to cause us to lose the game because "it's just normals." I'm not talking about players that are struggling because they're playing a new champion for the first time. I'm referring to the players that are putting no effort at all. Those that 1 vs 5 and then do something even dumber like saying, "WTF why didn't you guys help me?" Going into enemy camps and getting caught and killed over and over again, and basically ignoring the team and their warning pings.

Don't go into semantics because I never said it's okay to feed/afk/troll. Also, state what you're referring to then. Also, the rest of what you said, put that in the post if that's what you mean because you said your losing faith in Riot which is you saying it is Riots fault, not the idiot people doing dumb things. You say the system is flawed but what do you want them to do??? I don't see you giving any realistic ideas. They cannot read minds and tell that someone is trolling and then say "Sorry you can't make an account". Its probabilities because I don't have issues with trolls and rarely AFK's. And the League community is frowned on for its toxicity which is a real problem, not Riot. They have professionals working normal jobs, who have been working for 7 years to do the best possible. People have to realize that there is such a thing as unrealistic expectations. I understand it sucks getting an AFK but it is a game and things happen, and people will be forever human in nature. This is my opinion so if you disagree that's gucci but take it into consideration aight?

No I'm holding Riot accountable for they're horrible matching system. If I played 600 normal games why do I have players who are brand new? On the flip side why is my team entirely bronze and being matched with a team that has a duo platinum?

Show me proof that you're not exaggerating and I'll question the system.

I have players who aren't even level 30 in my games! And no, it's not the rare 12 - 6 - 12 spread either!

It was the Sona in my previous few games, if I posted the link it would be shaming so you'll have to find it instead.
