So I was told that if you're really good at the game, you can carry out of Silver

In this elo, you can't carry games. Not if the enemy has half a brain, or is at least comprised of Silvers. The enemy team knew how to shut us down. I knew how to shut them down, but the difference is it was just me. Sadly, 1 person doesn't do anything against 5, so we ultimately lost after 15 minutes of trying to split push. (I dropped an inhibitor, and exposed another) There is no such thing as a one man carry. At least 3 people have to do do well, and one of them has to do REALLY well.

Riot, please stop contorting everything for higher elo, and start helping out the lower elos too. There are people down here that really shouldn't be.

1 assist, good job helping your team and letting them catch up instead of taking all the kills as an assassin that uses his combo and is then useless.

But... but... muh kda bro, so OP. I'm clearly Plat, but muh team!

greekvandaLAug 25, 20161 votes

if you want high kda's play cod, i have much more success averaging low scores ( aka 3-0-5 ) with low kill participation but instead getting a bunch of towers and objectives rather going 19-0-10 and shit like that after a while kills dont even give meaningfull gold compared to towers/obj. Be an objective player not a killwhore killwhoring doesnt work anymore

Wait, you took me seriously? I think from now on I might have to add Kappa to the end of everything.

Talon isn't carrying shit vs that teamcomp. in any elo except bronze 10 lol all they gotta do is press their R buttons and you lose salute to them for picking a good teamcomp

This is just a stupid argument. You don't have to win every game to carry. Not every game is winnable, but most are. But anyway, who even cares about ranking while they have dynamic que?

So I looked pretty closely at your pic there...here's some constructive criticism:

You had 14/7/1. If you were ahead with Talon, you should have roamed to help your team. It looks like you had a LB support? That would have been a good game to roam bot and rack up some assists. You could have fed the LB or the Jinx instead of feeding only yourself. Carrying doesn't always mean getting yourself as many kills as possible. You're 1 player, and when you're hoarding gold that could be spread out a bit more amongst your team, it doesn't help them much.
It looks like the chat indicates that you verbally abused your teammates. Udyr was 0/7 and you made sure to mention it. My guess is that he was getting invaded quite a bit by the enemy jungler (who was ahead, and who had a ton of surprise mobility) and probably the other lanes roaming into jungle. As the mid laner, who was apparently doing ok, why didn't you roam to help him?

Again, trying to help here - it's easy to jump on the boards and make some shitty post about how awful everyone else is. It's hard to look at what you did (or didn't do) and figure out what you could be doing better. Obviously you're pretty good with Talon, but put that skill to use helping your team instead of just yourself. Bitching at them isn't going to help you win the game. Getting them fed and out of harms way just might.

The thing is, I did roam. A lot. Veigar and Malphite even switched at the beginning. I went bot lane, top lane, and I tried to have me team get kills. But notice the lack of assists on their part. Most of the time, when I was in lane (and pinged them) they did nothing and watched as I just dropped their enemies while they did nothing. Same thing with Vlad and Udyr. I will admit what I said in chat may have been rude, but in game I didn't say anything except for pings and "help me split push"" or "stop getting caught". All the rage I did say was verbally, so that no one could hear. It's my strategy for venting and not getting tilted. Also, the tiny amount of assists they did have were from them initiating early and dying almost instantly, only to have me show up and get a double kill right after.

KinetikaAug 25, 20161 votes

They have 4 or 5 times as many assists as you do...you realize you have only 1 right? They fed you. My point is that you should have intentionally fed them...if you spread 5-6 of your kills around to Jinx and LeBlanc, you might have won.

I'm not going to say anything more about it than this: If you want to advance, don't look at your KDR and wonder how the rest of your team was so bad - instead, look at your KDR and ask yourself how you could have spread some of that gold around and led your team to victory.

They did helped lower elo.Its called dynamic Q

Yeah, just abuse dynamic queue.

If you do that well every game it's literally impossible to win only 50% of your games

maybe one doesn't rank up as fast as they "should" like in sc2 or something, but claiming that you can play this well every game and not rank up is ludicrous

also idk who your "support" was, you or lb, but that's just awful. Your team comp is so bad without a support type champion. It's not exactly helping your jinx..

IreliavenceAug 25, 20161 votes

it wasnt even a ranked match, do you see any lp loss? a series loss? its just normals, and normals are full of premade shiiters

venomous frostAug 25, 20161 votes

i'm just going to put this out here: if you did this well, you should have carried. The only reason you didn't is because you made mistakes/did things you shouldn't have done. Not your team. there's no way if you play it perfect you won't win this game.

JoshuasDaddyAug 25, 20161 votes

yes you can, im silver but when im playing really good with a good comp , champ , and no trollers or afkers i carry some games are not winnable and u can just accept that but if u dont accept it and are in the wrong mindset u will lose keep playing keep positive

Talon sucks into cc. That team has more c.f. than a bondage video.

Cur Adv VultAug 25, 20161 votes

Happens in silver all the time, I have had many 10 + kda games where I just outright lost due to my team not pushing the advantage and letting it get to lategame - then obviously facechecking a brush and getting toasted

This was in diamond, where we have the same shit happen you all complain about, and games there can be hard carried.

enemy team had late game scaling over you and a dedicated counter to you (malphite). in addition you had 263farm at 40minutes, thats a little low and shows you were elsewhere on the map instead of defending your turrets which ultimately lost you the game.

feel free to try a different champion next time or win a 1v5.

IreliavenceAug 25, 20161 votes

#notevenarankedmatch.

#all elos are in solo que now because premades, just like the rest of us dont like to lose vs premades in ranked.

TeslynAug 25, 20161 votes

there is your problem. you are playing normal games. hard to rank up that way.
