This game is getting more players than ever and more players means more stupid players. Im constantly getting in games with people so much worse than me and im not saying im a god but these people are just straight inters. Feeding bot lane, feeding top, feeding mid its to much to carry through i cant gank a lane when the enemy has 5 kills and my lane has 5 deaths 20 cs we will both die. The ranked mode is for competitive people and im sure people would rather wait longer in queue to get players on their level than get inters that ruin their day

Well how, would you suppose they change it? I don't like it either but I want to see how you would change it to be better

they should of done a hard reset when we had the problem early in the season where people were gaining massive LP per win. My friend who played that time was silver 2 last year after 500 games or so is now plat 2. He got to diamond 3 and has been slowly deranking all season because he only plays enough not to decay. The rest of the games he plays is norms to try and get better to match his rank.

Everyday I see players who have less than 100 games on their account because they are only playing enough to not decay. You can easily in the background search for players who have more than 100 games played this season to be played with others that have over 100 games as those are the people grinding and not just playing for decay. If you cant find someone within a reasonable amount of time who has 100 games then you can pick someone below.

edit: you can make the number be like 150 or 200 or 250 etc

Riot keeps pushing a counterpick meta, so losing lane is 50/50. But feeding is what happens when someone loses and keeps tryna be a carry. Since everyones a carry now (very little viable utility picks on solo lanes) it will be a common thing even at even skill levels. Get players to stop tyler1ing it down and tryna carry every game and the ff15 meta would go away. __ However, matchmaking seems pretty massive when my zed mid doesnt even know an ashe arrow stuns. Yea had that happen a few games ago. He flashed onto the stunned yasuo tryna secure the kill from my "snipe" thinking the yasuo would juke him or something. This is gold 3 btw.[slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

"Straight inters"... So they're literally running into turrets waiting to die? I get that sometimes it feels like teammates aren't terribly good, but even the folks with only one hand to play gotta get matched somewhere, and exaggerating your grievances doesn't really get anything done. Try remembering on the flipside too that when an opponent underestimates your damage output and gets deleted, or makes some other mistake you get to capitalize on, that's pretty much the same as when your teammates make a mistake. It's going to happen, to both sides.

Also, "feeding" is kind of a BS term. It's used more as a lazy "oh look that guy went 1/10/2 he must be bad at the game" by people who don't want to actually acknowledge opponents for playing well most of the time, so there's no real point trying to use that as a skill reference (especially since on the other hand a person who threw by only ever sitting in a bush insta-deleting folks as Rengar or AP Malph could technically go like 20/0/20, but never have been around to help protect objectives).

Furthermore, have you tried adjusting your own gameplay when a teammate starts getting beat-down? More often than not I find they just needed a hand to get back on their feet/break their opponent's momentum. I'm not saying "yeah gank more even if you abandon your lane cuz that fixes everything!" no one strategy does, but pretty much anything is better than sitting there saying to yourself "OH EM GEE my teammate is feeding what a noob!" or something similarly tilty when you COULD for example; Be pushing down the turret the enemy mid-laner left exposed to go help steal dragon/gank a lane/rescue their teammate that got jumped in the jungle, or securing a dragon really quick because literally everyone but you is having a slug-out in top lane and you won't get there in time even if you leave right now.

P.S. If it IS literally a case of all your teammates are inting hard and you never get fun teammates to play with, you have my condolences, you are one HELL of a statistical outlier, and honestly the only two solutions I can think of to solve your problem are to only ever play league in a 5 man premade that you're beyond certain is "at your skill level", or go play something else and hope your luck changes.

That "novel" was honest input based on past experiences put forward in hopes of continuing the conversation to see if maybe we could figure out more about the content (namely how to counter Kai'sa, in this case). Frankly if a win/loss ratio from a 3rd party site is enough to discourage you from reading, well that's on you, but I'll respect your choice.

I do have one question though, if you're browsing the boards, reading questions and whatnot, but long text is such a turnoff for you, then why are you here? You're going to need to read to join in on the conversation, and sorry but in my experience if it's not a fairly long post, it tends to either leave a lot of detail out, or be some lame insult reply by a user just trying to bait out a flamewar instead of actually contributing to the discussion, so why ignore everything but the negative bs?
