2 more games left in promo!
this is my second promo, im currently 1w 2l, usually when you are doing something big for yourself competitively, you get nervous if the enemy team is better than you. Thats not the case.
I read up about the dunning-kruger effect, it states that you remember the bad much easier than you remember the good. The dunning kruger is a pretty good theory, i know its not the case though. In my first promo i went 0-4 (one was loss forgiven) and its not the theory that i think im better than i am, its the fact that im worried and insanely nervous, not about the enemy team... MY TEAM.
ELO hell does exist, the dunning kruger effect does not apply very accurate to league. The theory that i think i am better than i am is false, i know my skill level and it hovers at a gold v- gold IV level. I am silver I right now but its so hard to escape, when i go into a game im scared, im scared that my team is going to troll me, im scared that my team is going to flame me, im stressed. Its not fair when the enemy team is trying but my team purposefully does the opposite of what they need to do to win. i've seen stupid scenarios over and over and it plays in the game as if it were a nightmare. Jump into an uneven fight in the enemys favor and always lose, turret dive an enemy that has no chance of dying to your damage output...
What do i do? i dont want to play my promo series... im fearful that it will happen again. My team is constantly putting me off my game.
Im kinda curious, maybe just a test thing here but why is it so hard for riot to implement a lp loss reduction for obviously unavoidable losses? My most recent game i started off 5-0 trying to help everybody, but the annie support thinks its funny to let her adc die over and over from ganks from over extending without wards. Mid lane got countered, lost lane. jungle dived turrets over and over... there is only so much you can carry.
IM NOT SAYING I DONT MAKE MISTAKES, because i do. I know i do i definitely screw up, but thats the difference between me and my team - when i screw up its a mistake, wasn't meant to happen and was avoidable. HOWEVER, it seems when my team screws up they do it on purpose, they dont try to fix it, they dont try to avoid it, they do it over and over.. i cant make my team listen all i can do it tp for a gank every 300 secs.. but in those 300 secs its on cd they die 5 times. I don't know what to do... i cant carry every game to victory im aware, i have my bad games but why is it that teams make themselves so heavy? when you are losing a lane you should change what you are doing, playing defensive or passive even.
Please.. i need tips on how to motivate my team to do the right thing, how can you make people eager to listen to you without sounding cocky? i cant say "i've been gold before, i do good in my games so try to play defensive and try not to mess up" it just doesnt work...
Anyways thanks for listening to my rant.. any advice is appreciated.
