The biggest problem I see when I lose games in Plat 4. Maybe this will help some people.

The biggest problem or problems I see that cause me to lose games in Platinum level elo are the following:

1.) Team decides to fight when they should run/back off, and they don't fight when they should.

• People really need to take that time to understand when you have an advantage in a fight or when you don't. For an obvious example, say you have a Warwick on your team and the enemy ADC Vayne separates from the team and you have 3 of your teammates mid, you should PROBABLY ping her, Ult her, and all 4 people jump on her and take that damage out of the fight before the enemy team has time to react. You're PROBABLY going to be able win the ensuing fight granted that if you get in the fight your MIA teammate shows up to make it 5v4.

2.) The second thing really comes down to what I think is EGO. People have GOT TO LISTEN TO PINGS. I know that everyone thinks they are really good when they reach platinum, and okay you're better than what 90% of the player base basically? Cool, good job. Now continue doing what got you there (if you weren't just carried like it seems MOST people here are because they can't carry anything) like warding, pinging, listening to pings, working as a team, and securing objectives/kills.

The last thing I'm going to say is that there are lots of people that play this game that are VERY EASILY tilted. I have seen both sides and many times it is actually justified.

• I was playing as Annie and the entire enemy team was stacked up on baron. I had a SATED DEVOURER MASTER YI that was right there with me and I'm spam pinging baron that I'm going in. He decides instead to ignore my pings, pings their top turret, and farms minions. He doesn't get the turret, I have to solo 5 people and I kill 1 and get the rest so low that they have to stop baroning. It was a pentakill and a baron secured for us if he had just listened to the team pings. Second instance we're pushing for the win and I go to flash tibbers both carries and what happens? Ali goes a split second before I do and knocks Ahri back and then Jinx flashes back costing me to waste my flash ult, lets them both survive in the back doing damage, and we lose the fight.

You cannot win a game when people do this kind of shit and it is appalling to see this sad level of skill in the top 10% of NA. No wonder we will never win Worlds. Please use your fucking brain and play better people. This game is not hard if you try to anticipate what other people are doing, think about what your teammates want WHICH IS USUALLY SHOWN THROUGH PINGS, and work together.
