Why does this fucking game hate me

Emerald Fang··6 votes·3,117 views

Every time I get to 90+ LP in silver 5, I end up going on a fucking huge loss streak that brings me back down to 0 LP. I worked so fucking hard (30+ games in S5) to get up to 92 LP and then I end up getting absolutely shitstomped in my next 2 games even though I hardly think I'm playing worse than I was. The first loss was against a bullshit kha mid where I "fed" him but I managed to stop dying after 3 deaths in lane while bot kept snowballing him to fucking eternity. The second game I get gimped out of farm because everyone ARAMs at 11 minutes, I say "I want to farm," and my team goes batshit insane for the next 30 minutes saying that I suck for not having map awareness when I'm smart in not fighting fights where they all fucking die in 0.2 seconds because they don't focus anyone. Tilted me off the face of the fucking earth, also had this passive-aggressive jax who would not shut up, and I didn't mute anyone except him because NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WTF PINGS MEAN!!!!!!!!! "Oh just mute everyone easy" if I don't chat during the game then I can't communicate because pings usually aren't fucking enough for anyone.

I don't even feel like I'm playing super badly. The second game was eh for me, usually I'm doing well with Cass, but I feel like I'm just cursed in this game forever because I literally cannot get out of S5 no matter what I do, and it really feels like a Godly fucking curse because it's always when I get to 90 LP I'll instantly lose the next 2 games or more. It doesn't matter if I am in the perfect mindset, have my favorite food with me, and I'm sitting down and focusing hard. Even when I don't tilt, even when I mute all so I cannot fucking tilt, no matter what. I always. Lose. Those. Games. Then I bust my ass for 30+ games to try to get back up to 90 LP, and the same shit happens again. I keep getting more and more tilted every fucking game because I physically cannot climb no matter how hard I try. I'm pretty sure if any other player were playing on my account they would manage to climb out. But not me. I always fuck it up.

Pisses me off, I really feel like there is some curse on me. This shouldn't happen to normal players. People should climb out eventually, this is ridiculous.

Downvote away IDC.

This game hates everyone of us equally.

I wish it felt that way.

Don't try to play Kass or Cass. Try playing Malzahar, Veigar, or Heimerdinger.

Definitely don't play Ryze. I dodge any time someone on my team picks Ryze because no one at our elo's knows what the fuck to do on him.

Wouldn't it be more effective, rather than saying "don't pick Ryze", to say "learn to play Ryze really well so you'll have an edge in this elo"?

The amount of skill needed to play Ryze decently is huge while you can mindlessly play ahri with no braincells and still do as well as a skilled ryze player. Non-meta pick works, but only if they

  1. Contribute something to the team
  2. The person knows how to play that champ really well.

Like Pandemic, I dodge a lot of Ezreal picks in my elo because a lot of them don't know how to land skillshot consistently to have decent dps, nor do they know how to kite.

Edit: I mean sure, there's nothing wrong with picking Ryze, but that's for normals. I wouldn't trust a ryze player in ranked unless they have at least 70-80 games on him.

Seen covered it pretty well. Also, like Seen, I have dodged many Ezreal games when our comp has no sustained damage vs a tank/bruiser heavy comp. It takes a lot of skill to play Ryze. Some infamous coaches won't even trust Ryze players in high Diamond and Masters. It is for very good reason. Even if you perform exceptionally well with Ryze in lane, you are practically playing a champion with no ultimate during impromptu skirmishes.

I am trying to recommend champions with HIGH impact in the game with minimal effort to learn by the player. Especially at low elo. Playing champions like this over and over will make it easier to learn the game. It is not practical in most cases to EVER expect a low elo player to get good enough on Ryze to be able to solo carry games.

Malzahar is one of my favorites to recommend because he can fit well in every low elo situation. SUPER easy to play, scales into a raid boss late game, can build high health, almost all point and click abilities, and good sustained health% damage if the enemy team picks tanks. Also don't forget about him having one of the safest laning phases in the game when you learn him well enough and learning him is very easy.

This right here is why I don't play ranked. The grind isn't worth the payoff. So what, I get a fancy border around my name? No thanks. I play this game for amusement, and there's no longer a point if it becomes work.

Instead of spamming games and "hoping", what have you done to actively get better? Watched any guides? Seen an improvement in your map awareness or CSing? Or are you just hoping that if you spam enough games you'll luck into a higher elo?

I just spammed Nasus until I got to S2. If your team starts grouping mid (don't do that) you can just backdoor into nexus.
