Ranked Gone Wrong

Rastriverae·5/22/2017, 7:19:54 PM·4 votes·750 views

Starting at the beginning of this month I have lost nearly every ranked game possible. I try switching to blind and everything seems normal and winning seems possible again. But every time I get into a ranked game my team literally sucks so bad the whole enemy team just gets fed or one of my teammates gets close to no kills, even the ADC. Granted it is bronze, but I'm also facing Against bronze so you would think eventually I would be put on the team that gets fed instead, but no, that shit doesn't happen. Considering it started at the beginning of the month it would seem all this has been occurring due to an update. (Buffing Life steal?)

If you check my match history the entire month before this one was filled with mostly wins so you cant pin it on me being the weak link. And if you look at the grades i get for even the lost games it tends to be a B or higher, so don't even try to blame me. (because I know a lot of you want to)

Why the fuck did I make this post? Because it's our job to report shit that we think is broken, one way or another.

Edit: just played a game, went 2/5/17 as bard support, still lost. No matter how many heals i dish out or shields i put up or enemies I ulted or assists I got we still fucking lost.

Played one game, got an a+ but lost the game and 18 lp like seriously wtf do you want me to do? 5 v 1ing aint possible unless you're yasuo or some shit. Give me lp for good grades, not just wins, like seriously.

I dunno man. You arent exactly putting up decent numbers yourself. Best advice I can give is to stop blaming your team and focus on what you can do better

I give you an up vote because I do think the system is garbage. That being said, I definitely think you're in or around your correct rank. I know that sounds mean or w/e and I am not trying to be so just hear me out.

Like.... this system sucks on a game to game basis. So you really can't focus on that. You more or less just have to focus on yourself and try to do your best every game. I know it sounds cliche but its the truth. Hell I am hard stuck silver 2 right now and pissed about it. Ranked 3 accounts to gold last season and was hoping to just hit gold quick this season then play casually. Sadly I am struggling so I need to get back on focusing on improving and figuring a couple champs that work for me in the current meta so I can make as big an impact as possible each game. Its not easy, some games are unwinnable, but the better you get the more influence you have on games, the more you punish the enemy for their mistakes, and slowly your win rate rises and so does your rank. Or maybe quickly if you really do deserve a higher rank.

And hell maybe you are a higher ranking player and just had some tough games. I know last season 1 of my accounts was in bronze and when I started ranking it up it had a bad record. But once I adjusted to what was going on around me and just focused on my game next thing I knew I was in gold with an ok win rate.

Just looking at your jungle games you cs/min is a little low. Not that there is an exact number but your between 2.5-3 something c/s min. Depending on character and game shit can change but honestly jungles I think should have at least 4-5 cs/min. Can't remember what challenger players strive for as jungle I am sure it's higher. But basically, that means you are ganking too much or spending too much time walking around rather than farming. You do need to apply pressure to lanes and grab objectives, but you also need to make sure to farm your camps too. It hard to learn how to balance them and trust me I am still learning too. But that's one thing you should focus on more. You will get some more experience = higher level during game + more gold for more items. I am sure there are many other things for you to work on but sometimes its just focusing on a couple things and building off it.

It also doesn't hurt to read guides about roles and about a certain champ. That way you learn how to play the champ properly along with the role and what items to generally build. This game is easy conceptually, but hard to master.

Good luck on your climb. Waive to me when you pass me in silver 2 as it looks like I may be here awhile :(.

You'd prob have better luck carrying yourself out, rather than relying on your Bronze ADC to not miss cs.

I have never seen a post like this with positive upvotes. Hmm
