I don't understand how people climb.

I really don't. I know how to play. I know how to focus objectives. I know when to help my teammates. I what to do and when to do it. No matter what I do, I lose though. Is there some secret to this? Is there a secret to this game where if you perform a certain way or use a certain trick that you'll win 100%? Do I need a Platinum/Diamond duo partner to boost my ELO? I just don't get it and it's painful to keep trying. I kinda wanna just quit this game until they do something to improve the matchmaking experience.

If you're losing consistently then you aren't as good and knowledgeable as you think you are.

If you lose constantly, it is you, not matchmaking. You may be trying too hard, or trying to "do it by the book" instead of actually understanding the game and playing reactively. Getting crap teams feels bad, but those balance out and dont really change your winrate one way or the other.

There is no trick that can make you win every game. At best you may see a 60-70% winrate if you get good at carrying.

think about more league related shit. what are our back timings enemy ward timings try calculating gold differences enemy pathing theorycraft your build all the time, the build is never good afterall it's just all you could think of at the time, and no it doesn't make it better if you got it from fakers op.gg cause you aren't faker. cooldowns, think about all the cooldowns mark the ones you see account for them in playmaking heck make plays maybe don't make plays every game is diff splitpush secure vision secure scuttle steal jungle occupy the plants setup drakes what item do you need next to facilitate the next portion of the game? what are your teammates doing? should you be doing what they're doing? maybe who the fuck knows, the game state definitely knows but it's not gonna tell you you need to know. push a turret are you pushing turrets? should probably find a way to do that steal jungle, there is always more jungle to steal. secure vision, there is always more vision to secure, but now you do it in useful areas and not just shitting out wards for the vision score. etc etc etc i mean i can do this all day that's how you climb

break it down further for lane what are the creep positions whats the lane state who has priority what are all these cooldowns whats a range ITS COMING! DODGE! find a gap take note of jungle pathing where might enemy jungler be did enemy jungle show on the map? what advantages do i have right now to try forcing pressure onto the lane? etc etc etc don't spend all your money on pinks btw, lol always tickles me when someone is shitting out 5 pink wards like they have the economy to maintain it.

THINK MORE LEAGUE SHIT LEARN MOAR LEAGUE SHIET then you'll climb the climb is not the goal, learning is the goal, and you will climb as a result. qiyana shunted me down some 3 divisions learning how to win games wit dat bish. now she getting them back for me [sg-poppy]

1 vs 5 or lose. literally every game i had in plat 2 untill i got demoted to gold 2 was pretty much i had to 1 vs 5 or we lost, bot lane goes 0-15 by 10 mins, top lost inhib by 15 mins, jungle is still 0-0-0 at 20 mins with no dragons taken, if i go adc an go bot mid is somehow 0-8 by 11 minutes. it feels like once someone dies everyone just permatilts and stops playing and further pushes the enemy into snowballing, like the adc will be off splitting bottom while they are pushing down mid. this shit is very common in high gold/mid plat and its actually digusting how much worst your team always is than the enemy team, autofill doesnt help either.

Improving is impossible when you think your losses aren't your fault.
