Hi everybody, I'm Chris.

I am currently Silver 5 0 LP, as I have been for quite literally_ a month_. My Win Rate is quite low, as to be expected, sitting at roughly 53%.

Howver, this is largely due to the** ENORMOUS** losses I have suffered due to failed attempts to carry in most all instances.

Now, many of you may just consider this the typical "Low ELO BabyRage", however...

these games are just a few instances where I have lost games for reasons quite obvious.

Gold distribution is to be expected, however the Kill Distribution and Team Gold distribution is the kicker.

In all of these instances provided, I have quite frankly CARRIED my teams throughout the game as the Champion Gold distribution goes to show, just to lose in the end due to the OVERWHELMING displacement in Team Gold.

I literally go into every Ranked game knowing full and well that I will carry, and lose regardless.

Call me a BabyRager, call me a Salty Silver, but my complaint is true and geniune and I have not a clue what to do or how to fix this.

I cannot stand to know that after giving nearly every game my all, I still lose and that it's, more likely than not, not even my own fault.

This is a cry for help from the bottom of the bracket, a place I surely do not belong with my performance.

Please, repond with critiques and suggestions, I am open to anything to improve my Ranked Standings.

Just as you said, you are a generic low elo guy blaming your teammates for your loses.

53% loss rate, sounds normal. Optimal for anyone in ranked is 50/50, that you're not at 50/50 does imply there is some room for upward movement. However, AAR do not really tell us the entire story of your game. So what if you're fed and bloated, we don't know if you actually did anything with ir, or if it was truly your team's fault. The fact that you can't carry despite being so far ahead implies that you're screwing it up as much or as badly as your team might be. A low number of games resulting in this would be normal variance for bad luck. A constant string however, does imply--without access to the actual game footage--that fault lies with yourself as much as it may with your team.

Don't get me wrong, it could very well be your team's fault, but we can't prove that. And honestly, can you honestly say you are not 100% blameless? Because as much as I blame my own teams sometimes for losing a game, I have to take just as much blame because I know I fucked it up somewhere. I can often pinpoint the moment(s) I fucked up, acknowledge them, and attempt to not make the same mistakes in the future. But if you're sitting at 53% winrate, you're probably right about where you're meant to be.

You're not carrying if you end up losing. That's not called carrying. You have to actually do something useful with your lead that benefits the team. Also, you don't win every game you do well in.

as I have been for quite literally a month

The season has only been out a month lol. You also only have 34 games after your placments played. Were you expecting to hit gold already? Like you're legit one division lower than where you ended last year
