I am being matched people who are affecting my performance and there's nothing I can do about it.

To start off, I am not a new player. On this account however I had a 60% winrate until I played over the last two days.

I am not the best player here and I do make mistakes. I have had a couple of bad games over the last two days and I do have negative KDA in some of them. Partly because after I ended the laning phase positive but found myself unable to do ANYTHING beyond it because I've been finding jungler and bot laners who have been feeding constantly. Not just a couple of kills but tons of them.

Granted I have had a few bad matches and I don't expect people on the boards to think logically. A lot of people here never do, but I've had a good winstreak and the moment I hit Bronze II I started getting every single match where the jungler and the bot laners feed their asses off in multiple kills.

Take a look at my match history. I am ready for idiots to come by and downvote this thread based on my KDA but it's always easier to go afk after a positive laning phase than actually trying to play even with a losing team where people won't try to get carried but instead try to make flashy LCS level plays and continue to feed in the process. It's very difficult to remain with a positive KDA in such cases unless where you haven't participated and gone afk with your lane KDA to bloat your ego.

The quality of matchmaking has been incredibly shitty and I cannot be the only person here who is being plagued by bot laners who feed their asses off multiple kills. People who spam surrender as soon as the option comes up. And people who do not want to get carried but always want to duel despite being behind.

I do not understand what has happened to matchmaking and while I am not the best player around and obviously have my bad games, I am very unsatisfied with games where I do very well, try to spread my lead, but people just grief, don't try to win, and keep fighting brainlessly instead of trying to get carried. This isn't even the start of the season.

I cannot be the only person who is dissatisfied with the quality of matchmaking these days. Especially when you get paired with people who do not think twice before throwing games away and will not even try to support you spread your lead but instead actively work against till till any efforts to try and win will result in you getting beaten down by fed opponents eventually.

The game needs better matchmaking.

Don't come here pointing out my performance. It's easy to remain sharp when you haven't done any work and it's easy to sit back with a positive KDA when you haven't tried to spread your lead with feeding teammates.

Then you have no clue how to "spread your lead". If you're actually winning lane and then think "let me go 3v3 with my feeding bot lane, that's definitely the way for me to win the game". Not to mention you have not once crushed your lane as hard as your "bot lane has fed".

Also don't realize what this "spreading your lead" nonsense is if you have god awful kill participation. AKA you actually don't do anything to help your team. If you were actually grouping with your team with your "lead" and fighting with them, your kill participation would be much higher.

Maybe realize that your enemy laner is making enough mistakes that you could also make them a "feeder" - but you don't capitalize on it because you don't even see these opportunities.

You have god awful CS numbers on every champion you play.

Don't let boards fool you into thinking that "bad matchmaking" is the reason you can't climb. Having a 35% win rate doesn't mean "bad matchmaking". It means you, yes you, are a sole factor that is actually LOSING GAMES for your team. Having you lowers your teams chances of winning the game. Aim to play better.

Nah it's not your teammates or matchmaking. You're legitimately bad at the game.

In all honesty I tilt and come on the boards to complain about shit match making and bad team mates too. In reality though a large portion of your games are directly affected by you.

In order to climb you have to do well consistently every game (obviously you will have bad games). You have to roam and apply pressure.

When I am playing top lane I like to stomp my laner and then ward the enemy jg, whenever I see the enemy jg going for his red I enter his jg and kill him.

Bronze is really easy to climb out of you just have to play well.

I feed alot because I tilt easily, you have to be careful of that.

You're actually so sad. Essentially what you just said is

Don't point out my performances, my teammates are even holding my stats back

Take some responsibility. You're not stuck because of riot's "matchmaking"(aka your team is holding you back v2.0), you're stuck because you belong in the elo you're playing in. You say that we've never tried to spread our lead with feeding teammates- that's not true in the slightest. When I was first climbing out of bronze(I was growing slowly as a bronze player) I just focused on my enemy laner's mistakes, punished those, snowballed my lane, then roamed. If you're the one doing the best on your team and lose, the loss is on you since you were the only one who could have prevented it at that point in time.

However, i'm not exactly sure how relevant that is to you since it doesn't appear as if you ever really play the best on your team. No, instead of actually trying to improve and play better you lane like a bronze player, play like a bronze player, but somehow and for some ungodly reason think that you're somehow better than your teammates? You have low damage numbers, rarely the highest on your team, but you also play hypercarries- you should be doing the most damage on your team. You have a 34% kill participation- you essentially are never with your team to help them to secure victory. You have below a 2.0 kda on all of your most played champions- you don't know what bad fights/trades are, so you die for them and your positioning is probably terrible.

If you're serious about climbing and improving, search up coaching on youtube so you can understand what's what in your games. If you actually want advice on how to climb i'd be more than willing to ask, I was also a (hardstuck) bronze player once upon a time. But don't come on the boards and post this.

The last thing you want to do is go to the fed players and try to fight them. Just keep split pushing and if you're strong enough to 1v1 anyone then kill whoever comes to stop you, otherwise back off when you know more than 1 person is coming and repeat the process again.

Look at this, I was duoing with a friend who was legit having a hard time getting out of silver (100 games almost lmao) and I still hard carried him out of silver (from silver 2) AS A TOP TANK of all champs.

Imagine how easy it would be if I bothered to learn how to play bruisers/fighters top lane, or if my friend wasn't a mid 1 trick so I wouldn't be forcing him out of his comfort zone?

If you're constantly winning lane (not going even) before laning phase is over then you have the power to influence the game in someway. If you can't use your lead in BRONZE ELO, then it's a you problem.

Just got a Yasuo who went 1-7 and swapped lanes with our top and continued to feed. There's nothing we can do because Riot thinks we're on equal levels with people like this.

Bro, you're in Bronze 3. If you're complaining that the match maker is fluctuating too much then I'm here to tell you, it really doesn't matter at this elo. Master players getting placed into Diamond games is not the same as Iron 4 players getting placed in Bronze 3 games.

Low elo players really need to stop making these dumb ass "bad match making" threads. This is a high elo complaint that doesn't apply below Platinum.

Yesterday really tested my patience in league as I lost 6 of the 8 games I played. 4 of them had afks.

One afk was a level 18 Yi who got a Quadra kill because our mid lander purposely stole the Penta. It was a mean move but him going afk in bushes and baron pit to feed kills and not even just afk in base lost us the game. He had also fed early game so it’s nit like we were ahead and could win the 4 v 5. We kept going even as 4 but then our Lisandro left the game and we certainly couldn’t 3 v 5.

Another game I was support with 2/3/4 KDA but the game was 41 kills to 8. 1/11 Yasuo, 2/13 yi and 1/11 Katarina.

Games like this are unwinnable.

I play mostly normals so also sometimes as a silver 4 I get a plat player on the other team who unsurpisingly stomps our entire team. Why do this? It’s just a waste of 5 people’s time who lose the Plat player RNg in a bronze / silver game.

Nah, it's not your teammates, it's your skill

I got a 2 7 5 Mundo mid in my game who kept on bragging about how he's ''popping off'' (by farming, when he had less than 100 CS and his laner was ROAMING), and about how ''broken'' his pick was. All he built was tank items, I don't know wtf he was thinking.

Games always been this way. Always will, happens to any competitive team game.
