Thanks to the guys who decided to be selfish and ruin my final placement games.
I dropped from S4>B5 in 3 days in 2014 as I went 2-23. I spent all of Season 5 flipping between B5 and B4. I was playing in 9 MMR games at one point. I'd win 7-10 in a row and I'd barely get out of B5, if that. I finished the season in B4, after my 13th or so promotion of the season. My winrate was around 49% but in post-promo games in B4, it would dip down to 30% due to trolls and stupid picks. I quit League for a while. I did everything I could and made no improvement. I had 8 champs or so with above 50% winrates, but it wouldn't work out.
I put about 100 games in for this season. I went with a 70% winrate pretty much destroying with Sejuani. I found some good partners to team with and we just climbed winning the majority of our games. We used mics and coordinated picks and excelled. The second I hit Silver 5, of which I was the first of our group to do, shit just went south. We won the first 2 games and started hitting platinum smurfing groups who destroyed us. I stopped playing as I never had a border and already hit my goal. I played a few more ranked games due to my friends goading me into it and the ship just sailed. Our mid claimed his champs got nerfed and is at the same place we left him. Our top switched to ADC and I don't believe he was aware than his winrate as an ADC is in the 30's. Nice person and I don't want to tell him that. Our team also went with fun picks instead of high CC picks and it naturally stopped working. My overall winrate is around 62% and I'm hitting the wall.
My friends still wanted to play, so I figured I'd play on my 2nd account. I don't have as many champs and shit just didn't flow right for whatever reason. Some of it is fatigue of playing Sejuani and some of it was just everyone peaking. I played most of my placements today and it's been a real shitshow. 2 absolutely awful Blitzcranks and the last two I'd like to talk about.
Before the last 2 games, my MMR according to na.op.gg was around Silver 2 level. I could deal with this.
The first game of the evening featured a Talon who was angry about getting an Anivia matchup. He tried to force Mundo to lane switch then fed when he wouldn't. Said he wouldn't get banned, and fed for the rest of the game. He did so much damage than our Mundo straight gave up and joined him as it was over. I actually had a really strong game and was 4 levels up on the other team at a point but it was too late.
Got to go through FIVE different Q's before a match started. That was great. Over a half hour of queues.
Then our main event for the night, my last placement game. Rengar chooses Rengar Top. Warning Signal. Rengar dies in the first minute. Says something like "I'lll feed and AFK". I told him go ahead. Proceeds to die 10 more times feeding a Diana to the point where she was hitting 1100 HP in 3 shots in under 20 minutes. We have a Taliyah who is awful and finds a way to feed an Ekko, who has more range than some of the ADC's. And they take turns taking dumps on everyone. Our Ashe doesn't hit a single Q burst until 35 minutes in when I rip her for not being able to do it and Rengar switches on and off from trolling to playing.
After the last two fiasco's, my MMR went from S2 to B1. A 4 division drop due to tards.
After 3 seasons of playing, thousands of games, my MMR is now lower than it was when I first began and only knew how to play 2 champions. I'm 10x the player I used to be and I don't have the rank to show for it. I went from a 60%+ winrate on my main account to a 25% winrate on my 2nd account.
This game is cancer. The play at low elo's is at the worst its ever been and I've played with people with MMR's of 9. I would gladly take them over this shit I saw tonight from Silvers. There's people who played hundreds of games and don't even know what their champ does. If you are not ahead in the first 10 minutes, you have less than 30% chance of pulling it off. If you are a jungler and two lanes are lost, it's over. These games aren't fun. They aren't fair and I can't imagine how a new player who hasn't seen this bullshit must feel. Playing against trio's and 4 man crews is so incredibly unfair. Rank means nothing anymore. Due to the team focus now, one person has more power than ever to fuck up a game and the only way you can be truly safe is to play with a full group.
Fuck this game. Fuck whoever made Ekko and Yasuo and Fuck Dynamic Q.
