How do I stop losing?

lilyrishu2··1 votes·1,637 views

Well, I'm a support main and I like playing support. Last season I ended in silver III, and I played pretty comfortably there. I kinda maintained at silver III though, but I haven't played since summer and now I'm bronze II (I just recently got demoted from Bronze I to Bronze II D,:). I probably made some mistakes but I don't know where. I usually get lots of honours at the end of the game atleast (cause I'm positive), I ward like a lot (usually 3x or 4x more than the 2nd highest warder in our team), and I usually win my lane unless my adc went afk or if my adc keeps running too far into the turret where I can't protect him/her. Like I know a lot of times even when i have like 30+ assists and like 0 deaths, we still lose the game. Or even if the adc goes like 30/1/10, we still lose the game. Like I don't really care about my score I just wanna win. Idk. Like, how do I stop this? Should I play mid instead? I know a little ahri mid, and mf adc. (I only play ahri if I'm mid and only mf if I'm adc). But I can play multiple support champions. Like, idk what to do. I feel like there is something I have to be missing. I don't want to blame my teammates cause i know there is something I can do. I'm literally in bronze lol. Any help on how to stop losing?

dont worry, even if the impact you have on the game seems different, changing role will not help you if you main 1 role.

i play all 5 roles and here is my eperience;

if i play top, no matter how well i play i will lose, same for jg and supp if i play mid or adc, even if i fuk up every game i will suddenly climb a lot.

a week later

BOOM now i can only win with adc and support.

if it was a "sometimes" thing i would just think shitt happen and its a coincidence. but it's like that for the past few years, my performance barely affects anything.

if you main 1 role learning another role is pointless since that role will eventually be impossible to win on no matter how hard you try. the problem come from the fact that riot is playing around way too much with team to make sure that every one gets around 50% winrate.

if i win with mid and adc for a while, these 2 roles will become harder because i have high winrates on these 2 (even if its not elo for each roles it still affects which team riot puts you in) so when these 2 roles are doomed to lose, i just play another role.

but since you MAIN something, trying to play something else for a few wins thinking "this roles is free win imma keep playing it" when the roles get fuked over for you, you will realise you've just wasted your time playing a role that is less fun than your main role to go from b2 to b1.

just keep playing what you find fun since the game are usually decided by who is on which team before the game starts.

(you dont need to read this part)

if riot wasnt playing around with our winrate, you would be playing with bronze even if on a winstreak, because its your elo. but since they do, getting a win streak force you to play with silver player, thus almost forcing you to lose for a few games.

tl;dr

just keep playing your favorite role <3

win of course. and try to get your other lanes ahead so that they can hopefully carry you.

also, support has some of the least effect on the game overall. Great in lane, then falls off a bit unless you are based completely off of CC like Leona.

But Leona + Draven or Leona + Lucian and you are almost guaranteed to pubstomp

coming from an iron player though, so take what I say with a heap of salt.

Not True at all, successfully keeping the enemy fizz from one shotting your adc can be the difference between a won teamfight and a lost teamfight. just because you are not carrying does not mean you are not making an impact. i think for just straight lane bully supports like zyra or brand this might be true. but supports are impactful, peeling, vision, engage, are super important and under rated.
