Is there really any reason to keep playing?

Xahria··1 votes·836 views

I seriously am considering uninstalling. I'm constantly stuck with teammates who feed. Or fall for "obvious kite is obvious" Or are just overall toxic, and refuse to play nicely. I'm going to be honest, i was raging last game, because my teammates weren't doing anything useful. I'm stuck in bronze hell, at bronze 5 with 0 points, because of teammates And there have been so many close victories, that get thrown because my team gets cocky. The definition of insanity being that, you do the same thing over and over expecting different results? I have teammates who repeatedly chase kites, and run head first int 1v5's even when everyone is abusing the ping button to make him stop. On the flip side, i guess im insane, because i keep coming back to a horribly toxic community.

I'm not good. I have my moments where im great. But i'm not good. But you know what? At least i can make it to the end of the match without reaching double digit deaths.

I don't know. Doesn't seem to be worth it. I'm trying to have fun, but when you get five minutes in and your teammates start trying to rip eachothers throats out? What the hell is that?

Am i just unlucky? I have seen people play like complete garbage on my team, making us lose, and then the next game they are on the opposing team and they destroy.

What the hell is that!? You were feeding the other team no less then 5 minutes ago!

I swear I'm a living embodiment of "Bad Luck"

This probably isn't what you wanna hear, but - and I'm just putting this out there, I know nothing about you personally - there's a real chance that you yourself are the actual problem.

We've all lost games because of teammates, sure. It's a team game, it's part of it. But if, after every single game, you come out red faced and fuming about how you lost because your teammates were feeding, your teammates were toxic, your teammates didn't ward, your teammates sucked, you teammates, your teammates, your teammates, there's a serious possibility that you're overlooking the real problem.

Are you really doing any better? Are you doing your part, as it were, to win the game? Are you making real efforts to find the one or two people willing to talk and cooperate and work out a game-plan? Are you being friendly and helping others get along and function as a team for 30 minutes? Or are you ignoring the others entirely, not helping them out of tight spots or helping them improve as players, or worse, doing plenty of the flaming yourself, perhaps even blaming them them for your screw-ups? Because I seriously doubt that you've magically managed to end up with teammates fundamentally worse than your opponents in every single game. Statistically speaking, a functional 100% of LoL games have a winning team, and 100% have a losing team, and in a highly-randomized-yet-highly-consistent environment like low-level play, the one important correlating factor in all your lost games is just that: You. And that may be what you need to focus on.

Now, if that's not it, if you really have just had an epic run of shitty luck that's kept you from advancing at all, then one thing you can do is to simply find a friend or two. Play together, get decent at working together in a number of different ways and positions, watch/read some good tutorials so you've got the knowledge you need, and get out there and win some damn matches. At low ELOs it's generally very feasible for two or three payers who know how to work together to carry a game just fine, especially if you're in the same room or using voice-chat. And playing with a friend(s) can be a lot more fun anyways, win or lose.

So that's what I've got. Hope something in there helped.

It's something. And at least it wasn't demeaning.

What is the point in playing the game if you dont enjoy it? I dont get it.

Sounds like you focus too much on your team and not enough on yourself. Everyone have bad games and, from time to time those with bad games happen to be your teammates. Whats the point in getting angry about that? But if you cant enjoy a game because someone on your team isnt perfect, then dont hesitate to uninstall. Games are for fun and team games are not for everyone.

reason is to have fun, enjoy the game. watch some streams, have fun. keep practicing, carry the team. rest is up to you~

The important thing is to enjoy yourself. If you aren't, then you should try other game modes, or maybe play less or not at all. The game will still be here if you ever change your mind, don't stress over it so much.

I'm not the best at this game either. My rank doesn't really reflect well on how I actually play seeing as I rarely ever do ranked but if you're willing to spend time practicing with me and listening to what I say, I assure you I can help you climb out of bronze.

More then willing But i'm worried that my bad luck will drag you down.

Don't worry. It wont be in ranked. Most of it will be 1v1s so I can see where you're going wrong in lane and what not, then I'll talk you into normals and continue to work with you til I think you're ready for your climb to silver.

Add me in game: clearly a virgin
