failed to get to silver

pity post. I'm pretty sad that 170 games later I lost a rank this season. lost a shit ton of games tonight and generally am growing less and less happy with playing this game. I wish i never gave rito my fucking money for rp considering that this game has turned out to be nothing but a shit fest of a waste of my time. The worst is I keep coming back after breaks thinking not that I've cleared my head it'll be better, and inevitably it ends with me hitting a point where I have to stop playing because I realize this game ruins my mindset. It's impossible to make measurable progress. IDK how anyone does it. I only have a few hours to play games a week and this one is so challenging and hopelessly fucking impossibly complex. I love that side of it but at the same time, there needs to be something meaningful to do thats not waste my life getting stomped in ranked bc the only way to climb bronze is to play thousands of fucking games and pray I get better playing with people who play badly. The only way to learn to be better is to play with and against better fucking players RIOT. There needs to be a freaking way to train or something in reasonable time constraints. FUCK getting stomped over and over. Fuck win-streaks that give you hope followed by loss streaks that knock you right back to where you started. Fuck this stupid system for being bad and a waste of time. Fuck me for thinking I'd get better by playing consistently. clearly I needed to dump 20 game a day in to be any better than b5. Fuck that I have shit to do that doesn't make me want to punch my keyboard.

TLDR: RAGE I'm a bitch cause i'm fucking tired of lol and burned out. I know I'm bad but there no paths to getting better that I can take as a casual video gamer and I just hate the way this game shits on my state of mind so hard.

You don't need to dedicate your life to League to improve, you just need to actually make an effort to look at what the people much higher are doing differently than you. It could be that your item builds, masteries, spells, or runes are being used inefficiently or are just wrong for the situation. Maybe you're focusing on kills instead of objectives, or have bad CS farm so fall behind. Maybe you need to shrink your champion pool so you can focus on mastering those instead of being ok at many. Maybe you just need a break?

Step back, read some guides and watch some pro streams, and try to see how you can improve even without actually playing.

I'm plat on this account. But I have an Alt. I spent the last 18 hours playing non stop to get it from gold 3 to plat. Today I got it to gold 1 100 LP in promo. Won the first 2 games. So 2/0 in promo for plat. Next game. I get a tyler1 wanna be draven who spams kys and ints all game. No one said anything to him. Apparently he got banned so he wont be getting any plat rewards so he's just ruining everyone games today. Sad thing is I was crushing my lane the entire time he int'd. Then next game I have a Kha'Zix top laner. That went well. 3rd game I was so tilted from the previous 2 I under preformed and lost. So I went from gold 3 to gold 1 100lp 2/0 in promotion. To 2/3 then i lost the next 2 games and gave up on getting my gold 1 to platinum. Feelsbadman.

You could watch a couple youtube videos and hit silver pretty easily i think.

This game isnt for everybody, but it markets itself like it is.

Hate to tell you this but its not the systems, nor the games, nor riots fault. It is a competitive environment and being such it will take skill to advance. In the end not getting anywhere and raging out is purely controlled by the player. Maybe you dont play enough to get into higher elos but if you just try to improve and focus on that anyone can get into silver with any amount of play. It is not because of a shitty system or a shitty game or because of some BS like only people who spam games can advance. The reality is that win streaks, lose streaks, bad teammates, games you didnt deserve to lose all of it is part of any competitive system. Everyone deals with these things and the players that control their mentalities and and understand these things rise in the ranks and i guarantee you if you accept this, control your mentality, and focus on improving even if its just a few hours a week you will see improvement. Sorry for the paragraph just kind of tired of people miss placing blame. Good luck in your games.
