Got Demoted to Bronze 2

RUMBLER J·2/23/2016, 3:07:57 PM·1 votes·3,723 views

After a couple of ranked game losses yesterday, I got demoted to Bronze 2. All this losing for me is happening too much and I want this to end now. I absolutely hate to lose PERIOD. POINT BLANK. Some people say they can deal with losses. The thing is, I can't deal with it. Some people say they need to learn from their losses. HOW CAN I?

I tried everything, EVERYTHING! I watched many videos, looked through many streams, and even looked at the guides. I even made many posts all over the forums;

Almost every post I made tells me how emotional I get when I lose. And those Reddit posts;

https://www.reddit.com/user/JLPMAN1000

That's my Reddit profile. I know many of my Reddit posts doesn't do with this game, but on a similar MOBA. I got into an ultimate rampage on how I can't get the help I desperately need. So, why can't I win more often? Why are there so much losses at my disposal? WHY? I need answers, please?

Glancing at your OP.GG here's what I see. Dying double digits in a game means you destroyed your teams chance of recovery. Your CS is extremely low try to hit around 5/6CS per minute (you idealy want to be around 8/9) at least. Your builds are bad (rushing item 3110 against a Chogath when a item 3065 would have served you much better). Ward more you're placing in some games 5 wards in a 45 minute game (1 ward every 9 minutes is terrible you want to hit about 1 ward every 2 minutes).

You need therapy not this game. Games are for entertainment.

Maybe your rank is too high and you deserve to be lower, since getting matched against people you can't fight. Or it could just be your team always sucking complete butthole and dragging you down. Pick which you prefer

Angry Monster2/25/2016, 12:13:39 AM3 votes

why do you question everyone that is offering help? You obviously have no clue what you are doing in game. Yet you are asking why on things about low cs numbers and your double digit death numbers. At some point commons sense has to kick in.

Stop asking for proof. You admit your in bronze 2 (and your mmr is probably lower than that, since you are falling). The proof is that what you are doing is wrong cause your in bronze.

Builds matter, Gold income matter and deaths matter in this game.

I don't have much to say other than.

  1. If you do get fed. Go help other lanes get ahead. Try and spread the kills evenly so you'll win team fights.

  2. If you die early and your lane opponent gets ahead. Focus a lot more on CS and objectives. Help bring your gold up and get you back in.

  3. Always try to counter build your opponent. Tryndamere Top with high crit dmg/chance and fast attackspeed? Grab a item 3110 or item 3143 . Chogath or Lulu ? Grab a item 3065 etc.

  4. If you do get super behind and you're not a champ that can help the team too much. Buy something like a item 3512 or item 3060 to help with your split push.

  5. Last but not least. You're gonna want to have wards and MIA a lot. Communicate with your jungle. Don't push hard if they have a jungle that can get in really fast like Udyr or Malphite . Getting caught off guard buy a gank because you're being to aggressive and pushing your lane to much sucks, and if it does happen. Have wards set up so you can push a bit farther without losing too much CS or risking a gank.

  6. This is more of a side note but. Don't play a champion that's considered overpowered without knowing how to play and build them. Practice them in bots and normals. Same goes for counter picking an opponent. For one, they won't win just because they're a counterpick. Two, practice really does make perfect in League. As long as you keep playing familiar champions and having good enough farm. You will eventually rise up. Just gotta keep playing.

That's all I have to say, GL on your Ranked matches. :]

Maybe single player games would be better for you.

Meriipu2/23/2016, 4:51:38 PM2 votes

OP at this point you are just trolling.

Live2LetDie2/23/2016, 3:40:48 PM2 votes

Aight lets break it down.

  1. Your cs average is around 3.7. This average is usually for junglers since they get almost no farm. A lane is suppose to get around 8-9 cs per min, you are less than half that. 1b. Solution: Dont make the mistake of saving your abilities for you opponent. If you need to q, w,e or whatever to get that single minion then you do it. Yes know what it will mean if you use the ability but still get that farm.

  2. It looks like you follow mobafire builds but dont know why you are building the items. EX: Frozen heart vs chogath? Spirts and Mercs vs garen? Mercs and Spirit vs Jax? like these builds are completely off and you are hurting your self by doing them. 2b.Solution: learn what the item does and what you need to build vs a champ. Building mr vs ad wont help you win lane or even survive.

  3. You die, and die, and die. Its rare if i see a game where my deaths are in double digits even if the game goes 50 min and my team loses. There is no excuse to die that many times in a game constantly. 3b. Ward up while you are in lane, dont over extend, if you lose lane then dont die for the farm just wait at tower or farm some jungle.

Ok, to answer some of your weird questions in the comments:

  • you win by breaking the Nexus, k? So you need to either put yourself at numerical advantage by killing the opponents, or zoning them from the turrets and inhibs until you can end thanks to minions. In both cases, this goes through better fight organisation (fight positioning, map rotations, engages, kiting, peeling, focusing), picks and counterpicks, and raw stats.

  • raw stats are gained through champion kits (abilities and base stats), setup (runes and masteries), and items

Consequence: possibly don't pick a champ countered by the one the enemy already picked, DON'T SCREW UP your setup (aka don't use stuff hat won't help your particular champion, and build items that make sense on your champion, against your laner, against the whole enemy team, and with your strategy.

For this, you need to:

  • farm to get easy gold, because everyone else is going to do so, and you can't allow them to have much more gold to you
  • not die 'cause that gives the enemy gold, and thus advantage in fights
  • know what your abilities scale with and buy that
  • know the type of damage your enemies deal and build defense accordingly
  • value how much dps you'll have time to deal depending on your range, your speed, your burst, your lead, and build more offensive the most you're sure you'll be able to dps.

To do all this you'll need to not die to ganks, thus ward, and then be useful with your well-taken care of champion to your team, thus look at the map and rotate to where you're needed.

So I took the time to read all of your posts and all your replies, and the answer I came up with might be harsh, but I think you need it.

I think you should take a break from LOL and look for professional help: either through a Doctor or a Therapist. I'm not saying this as a mean reply or troll post or whatever, but because you seem to suffer from depression and anger, either from being too immature/young or for having a mental problem (apologies if I'm being too assuming or if I offend you)? Ranked is already hard enough, but your anger management problems only handicapping you from learning or improving. I think you could get better and improve your play, however you are unable to understand advice (constantly asking what and why to advice), because you can't understand it, which shows that LOL's tutorial from lvl 1-30 is pathetic, (sorry, not sorry, Riot!) and your compulsion to win (and your depression when you lose) is only blinding you from getting better.

Chill out, relax, play some game that you find fun and easy. Take care.

Until you get over the fact that some games are losses you won't be able to see the chances to win games.

I climbed out of bronze last season and intend to do the same this year once soloqueue comes out. So trust me--I know where you are.

First of all, your cs is very very low. The minions give more free gold than anything in the game.
If all you're going to do is hit your opponent you might as well start with a item 3303 every game because you're not getting more gold right now than you would with that item. I'm NOT actually saying to do that, I'm saying that if you focus more on farming you'll get a lead on your opponent and kills will come later by default since they'll underestimate your power since they dont hit tab.

Meriipu2/23/2016, 3:27:56 PM1 votes

git gud play 500 games if you are still bronze with 500 games there is a high statistical probability you are a bronzie™

Bard To The Bone2/23/2016, 3:33:24 PM1 votes

my biggest and best advice to you.

  1. mute all your negative team mates and speak only to those who speak appropriatley.
  2. play the same small pool of champions that you would say you are good at and play to a consistent level every game
  3. dont flme your team mates. your not helping anyone by passing blame, you strike me as a person who does/ or would but thats just my opion i may be wrong.

if none of the above works over a period of time you are roughly were you belong sorry :/

If you want serious help with regards to improvement, I'm hosting a league meeting for a ranked 5s team i am coaching. This lecture starts tonight at 7:30pm(EST). If your wondering about me, I've peaked near plat, just did placements, currently in gold, climbing up. I've worked with alot of coaches and teams in the past. Its free, i'm only offering you this cause It's tonight and i;m pretty sure skype can hold more then 8 people. Plus, you seem to really be in the struggle.

What i'll be discussing is not something you will find in a guide or stream. Its a very slow-placed in depth breakdown of what is expected in order to climb elo. If your interested, pm me.

You keep playing Nasus but you seem to be doing things on Nasus that don't make sense / are not doing what is needed with the doge!

Most Nasus players will grab ghost with tele not flash and tp but that is mostly personal preference. Your masteries seem off 0-12-18 tends to be better, Same with your runes they seem to be way off ... no attack speed, no hybrid pen, no CDR ... your putting yourself at a disadvantage based on the support you give the champion you select.

On to lannign looking at many of your deaths it looks like your out of position for a nasus. What you want to do is just freeze your lane , heck have it pushed to your tower for all you care and just farm with Q and get your stacks as high as possible. You should not be away from lane or pushing past the mid way between the two top towers for as long as possible with Nasus. But you keep getting caught out, you push, your cs is low etc etc. Nasus is all about farming good CS and getting stacks up with Q. If you don't want to do that, if that is too boring for you pick another champion hes not a "boom I play nasus free win" champion unless you're willing to put in the farming time and have the runes, masteries and items to support that!

Instead of using your time to post a slightly ragy post on the forums head over to youtube and watch some Nasus games from top players. Look at what they do... do not just copy there item build as that is game to game dependent and you should be looking at learning what you need to buy when and why > finding one set build path. The best thing you can do however is get in games and stay calm and just farm up those stacks! As well pick nasus when it's in your favor...if the enemy team already picked a teemo top dont pick a nasus into it your just setting yourself up to rage!

As well here is a decent site where you can see builds, runes, masteries and as well as counters to the champ and champs you are strong against. Try to understand the information rather than just copy it however! http://champion.gg/champion/Nasus

BladeSteel2/23/2016, 5:49:46 PM1 votes

You seem to ask a lot of people why you should cs. If you play nasus YOUR DAMAGE GOES UP WITH CS. The more you kills minions with your Q, the more gold you get, and the more damage your q will do. Basically, KILLS > cs > poking enemy. If you can kill them, DO IT. don't just try to do it every few seconds, that is poking. If you KNOW you can do it, then you do it. if not, focus on csing. like someone else has said, 18ish minions = 1 kill. if your lane opponent is ahead of you by 50 cs, even if you're 0-0 and haven't died, they have about 3 kills of gold more than you do. if you want more gold, practice csing. Also, if you are against a magic damage team, build mr. if you're against a physical damage team build armor. You can't just blindly follow guides, you MUST change your build depending on who you are against, and who you are and how you're playing.

There's so much to follow. I don't know if I got what it takes. This is too much at stake! What if I lose again? I HATE LOSING! What if I'll keep falling behind and never go ahead? I TOTALLY HATE TO BE FALLEN BEHIND! And most of all, what if... I'll never get out of bronze? They say bronze rank is at the bottom of the ladder. AND I ABSOLUTELY HATE TO BE AT THE BOTTOM!!! HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT!!! THERE'S NO EASY WAY OUT! THERE'S NO WIN GUARANTEE! THERE'S NO OPTIMAL GAMEPLAN!! THAT PUTS ME IN THE ABSOLUTE WORST MOOD OF ALL!
