Impossible to Climb

Doctor Sidious ··2 votes·1,664 views

This game has been absolutely miserable for the last month. No matter what I play I can't win. I consistently do not feed and I win lane more often than not. When I jungle, I gank and I do very well in the early game but it is never enough. No matter how well I do, someone else is feeding incredibly hard. Yes, I know that everyone blames their teammates for losing but I am just at a loss for the type of people I get placed with. I have been playing this game since season 4 and this season and last season are the only seasons that I have actually played ranked regularly. I own all the champs, I know all the champs, I know exactly what they can do, how the game works, and how to play around certain things but I still get placed with people who have to ask questions about their own champions. Why riot? I have just been losing game after game in every position that I play. I am so unbelievably frustrated with this game. I go on huge losing streaks but struggle to win more than one game at a time. I climbed from bronze 2 this season to silver 1 very easily but ever since then it has been constant losing. I just don't understand why I am being held back from getting to gold because I get placed with people who don't even know their champs and who end up feeding horribly. I'm not even kidding. Look at my match history and see all the people who feed relentlessly or go afk. I have been demoted so much because I just can't win. Once I find something I can win with, I play it for a little while and then I stop being able to win and I have to switch again because I literally lose 6 games in a row if I don't I have endless stories of blatant feeding that is going on in my games and I can't do anything about it no matter how much I try to shot call or warn them, they just face smash into the keyboard and try to dive 3 people. by themselves. Everyone holds rank as a perfect representation of a person's skill level but more than anything these days it seems like its only luck. I have never been so amazed at how unlucky one person can be but that person is me.

i've been unlucky for the past 6 years. i can't get out of silver 3 because Riot is intentionally putting bad teammates on my team! EVERY game i get a feeder or inter or afk. if Riot had just given me good teammates i'd be president of the united states already - i mean i'd be challenger years ago. sometimes riot just wants me to lose. they come to my house, queue me up, click my mouse and keyboard for me and INTENTIONALLY lose games for me smh

I have less then 20 games on this account and climbed from bronze 3 to silver 4. I don't play ranked much but my mmr is around silver3-gold4 (these are the players im facing when i play) im looking over your op.gg timeline and it looks like no one is going for towers and pushing.

You have early dragons and kills which is good, but if you don't capitalize on the lead the snowball wont go anywhere. it looks like you jump around in lanes, you are playing support, mid, top and jg. It would be better to stay with one lane and learn how to snow ball that lane instead of being a jack of all trades.

out of the games i looked over you, have 40+ minute games. most high elo games end between 20-25 minutes. You don't want to give your enemy a chance to scale or catch up in gold/items.

Go into op.gg and check your game analysis The games you are losing start of in your favor, but the enemy team catches up in gold then just dominates objectives (towers, baron, dragon). Watch replays of your game and watch high elo games not the differences and try to recognize mistakes. get a coach, Thats what helped me when i wanted to climb. (i only play on here for friends now which most of my games are normals lol)

I'm in the same boat with my last 8 games, it hasn't been a whole month though, that must stink.

We all get it. Technically its "normal."

The bullshit match making is supposed to level off over time. Doesnt mean that a whole hoard of bullshit games cant come your way cause Rito decides MMR is all you need to factor together a "fair" match.

Here is an example I whipped up:

Now that LeBlanc had a low win rate true... but the Garen and Heca both had low win rates. That heca plays jg the most, and has a 17% win rate on jg... 22% overall win rate for the last 10 games... Holy shit Riot, you tanked my match with two bed shitters... thanks.

OK... suffice to say, the heca was completely useless, and the garen was up against a player with almost 25% higher win rate...

Heres where a certain breed of forum trolls will say "this happens to the enemy team just as much as it does to you." Thats technically true. If you flip enough coins the heads tails ratio will go even... eventually. Elo hell happens when the coin comes up against you enough times in a row where you cant take it anymore and give up cause its hell to suffer through all the consistent bad luck.

Those pictures show bad luck on the part of match making. Useless jg and feeding top. Bot lane became the punching bag, me and the ADC getting 4 man dived on.

Statistically I should see the enemy team have a bed shitting feeder top lane and an unranked jg that cant clear more than 3 camps before they have to back from losing so much health. So long as I can play enough games I should see it happen.

Long story short, dont come to the forums saying "I cant win" you will get the same trolly responses people have been getting for years. Match making always needed more context to make more fair matches, a thing it sacrifices to have the queue times be shorter. What I can tell you is to keep doing your best. Gank bot and mid and get the dragons, try to use an early lead to delay their carries mid game power spikes, and good luck.
