I sat down today wanting to play some fun games of league

Marshbouy·Apr 26, 2016·11 votes·1,064 views

And I'm currently shaking with rage. Every single one of my games we lost horribly and i have NO IDEA WHY. We just got fucking destroyed and there wasn't any reason for it. I'm not sure if it was skill, champion picks, or what, this has been happening a lot. I know im not the only one who is finding little to no satisfaction in the game anymore and also struggling to have a good time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to have fun? Or do i just need to find a new game?

Welcome to league 2016, where riot only cares about the dollar signs being thrown at them by a Chinese company..

I'm kinda excited for 6.9, but I'm afraid riot isn't actively trying to fix some of the more broken aspects of league, nor are they doing anything towards intentional feeders, or constant super toxic players.

There was a reason.

You can either:

A: Not take the game so seriously, maybe find some friends and just have fun queueing as a team. But don't make a big deal out of the game, because it is just a game, a toy, after all.

B. Find something else. Because if you are "currently shaking with rage" you should not being playing multiplayer games at all.

This strongly suggests you're not 'playing to improve'. The concept of playing to improve involves analyzing your situation, what you did correctly and incorrectly at given moments in the game. For example, if you fed first blood as a mid laner you can ask yourself "okay, what happened here?". "Gragas walked into our Raptors at lvl 4 and flash-slammed me, ensuring the enemy has a kill."

Then you can think about ways to prevent this, such as keeping tabs on the enemy jungler, not pushing all the way to your opponents turret when a gank is plausible, having your side lanes warded (and not just the side bush, there are 6 entrances to mid lane). This is simply an example, since I don't even know if you're a mid-laner. The point remains that most situations can be analyzed for optimal play (such as who is fed on the enemy team? Maybe I should itemize against that person?).

tl:dr: If you don't know why you lost, the first step to improving is getting a bead on why you lost.

i spent 5 minutes staring at the graphs and wondering why we lost. What i came up with was

gold advantage me taking kills and not giving it to laners bad positioning enemy had better teamfight

I said "I have no idea why we lost" becasue i wasnt sure even what i found was the reason why. We got rekt so hard that i didn't understand why we lost. I tried my very hardest in those games and Im wondering if the reason why we lost really was my team, becasue i did fine in most of them.

Improving isn't just winning. Think about what you could have done better and try to improve on it across every game, wether it's csing better or getting better ganks off.

I feel like it got me nowhere since I haven't won any of my rengar games. well i have a 1/7 win/loss rate. Maybe i did really improve and i just haven't dected it through my losses "Cries in spanish"

Make an unranked smurf or try a different type of game. It's hard to say if you are tilted or just unlucky, but if you can clear your mind I find it is easier to play.

I know we all just want fair, and balanced games of league, but sadly ranked is a pile of Susan poop right now.

Playing a champ I can play in my sleep, and enjoy can help. I like to pick Olaf or Mundo depending.

Maybe not play the same champion over and over only to lose, especially if that champion is not your main. Unless you're looking to improve on Rengar, take a break from him and play something else.

MarshbouyApr 26, 20161 votes

i was trying to improve and i gave up

Zelgoth0002Apr 26, 20161 votes

Play ranked. Less trolls, and most people are playing to improve, aka playing safe, not feeding free kills, taking objectives, farming, ext.

MissMikasaApr 27, 20161 votes

Yea right. There's still the same amount or more of trolls, akfers, and players that have absolutely no idea how to play in ranked.

I found playing to win only is frustrating, you better off playing to improve and of course win, but main focus on improving and studying the game learn why your comp is not working what team or you are not doing right, and maybe learn from the team that is beating you? Season 6 i find team comps to be more important, much need for CC and tanks.

[Rises hand]

Play only only few times in week. Only in weekends. And possibly as soon as new featured game mode rolls, before players become total XXXXXXX and YYYYYYY. That way you'll skip alot of ZZZZZZZZ about your mother and possibly have few rather nice games.

Looking over the losses I could find on LoLKing, here's my thoughts.

The first game, your team's Ryze fed quite a bit. You also got very little damage done to champions, suggesting you probably just got blinded by Teemo every time you went in (as his only other real target would be Jhin, who outranges him). You were also facing a very early damage team with a team that had built almost no damage at all - Compare Jhin's BFS/Pick and your Warrior enchant as your team's only damage items to the fact every single enemy had at least one major damage item.
Looks like your bot lane had a real bad day. I'm guessing that's because Kassadin got to roam like crazy (as that's what Kassadin does) and ganked them continuously once he hit 6, getting himself and Ezreal fed. He moves a lot faster than Yasuo. I can't give you advice on how to play Rengar in that situation, but it looks to me that nobody suppressed Kassadin and stopped him from roaming, which let him do what Kassadin does.

MarshbouyApr 27, 20161 votes

You make sense. I never ended up ganking teemo because he had too many shrooms. Annie got rekt by kassadin and I tried to help but I wasn't enough
