First of all, prompt to the caitlyn, she actually played decent and didnt give up even with these three trolls. The blitz kept taking cs early game and wont stop spamming in chat for idk whatever reason, and also his build is fucking bullshit Renekton...he got outplayed in lane and he keep running into people for no reason The akali just wont stop going into 1v5, even when enemy outnumber her, even when she dont have her cd, even when she has 20 hp left...and also she never tried to farm when we are behind, she just go for kills.

I feel like i am playing a different game than these guys. blitz is simply trolling, renekton doesnt deserve his rank, and akali is probably playing some game, maybe bot game idk.

idk why i am matched with these guys, they are putting me on such tilt...

I think part of the problem is bronze/silver even low gold tend to rely heavily on the team. Meaning.. They tend to spend more time criticizing other players than improving on their own gameplay.

Exactly, it gets annoying with the whole, "i'm stuck in bronze/silver cause team holding me back". Meanwhile everyone who isn't....

I'll be honest, i was stuck in silver for a long time with that mentality.. I was watching nb3's stream quite often and he stresses every day about improving your own skills and not ridiculing the team. Took me awhile to finally apply it to my games.. And one of the first things i did was become a proactive green ward buyer (r.i.p) and shortly after i stopped blaming my team for not being as fed as me. I learned to accept that, IM the one who has to make the smart decisions because IM the one whos fed. If i'm fed and i fuck up a team fight. its MY fault, not my teams for not being as strong as me.. And i just think a lot of players don't accept responsibility for carrying their team when they are fed, it's easier to blame everyone else for being weaker.

Yes, individual skill will get you out of bronze/silver but remember, this is still a team game. NO ONE can carry 1v5 with a crappy team. Your team needs to be competent for a person to be able to carry.

The DeckownerFeb 29, 20161 votes

league is a 5v5 game, it's hard to win when it's 3v7 even with good skills.

You're in silver because you're playing Nautilus jungle and only being involved in less than 20% of your team's kills.

The DeckownerFeb 29, 20161 votes

you do realize 50% of the kills were akali solo somebody right.

And yet she managed to have as many assists as you had did Kills and Assists. You were a non factor in the game, that's why you're in silver.

You're silver because you keep finding excuses about Akali and instead of asking what you could do to be better. I can keep going. I can point out your match history and critique it further if you wish. Last 20 games you're 6 Wins, 14 Losses.

Op.GG even says: "Your MMR is lower than the average expected MMR for players in your division. Your MMR will continue to tank unless you improve your play!"

1,141 MMR

Last season, you played 522 ranked games. You won exactly half of them and where did you place? Silver.

You're silver, and until you stop pointing the finger elsewhere there you will remain.

NogrimFeb 29, 20164 votes

this is why i hate the focus on ranked and playing ranked games in general.

i waited 3 years to start playing ranked games, so of course im placed in bronze 4 having no prior rank games.

last year was bad, but this season where one person having a bad early lane phase throws the entire game frankly i would rather get cancer than deal with the ranked league.

bring back teambuilder so the majority of us can at least enjoy playing the damn game again.

Absurd! You're in silver because you deserve to be in silver! If you can't carry a 1v5, then how do you think you'd even compete in gold? Your teammates have nothing to do with your rank, honest!

You're not worth anyone's time if you stay that delusional, ignoring factual advice.

I guess if i go into your account and carry you to gold 5, it was cause the Elo gods decided to suddenly grant me good team mates or smurfs every single game to carry me huh?

No, typical response against delusional low elo people. You complain about trolls, and when I compare the stats of the people you call "trolls" with yours, there's hardly any difference. If I play on your account, i'd get it up to plat without any trouble. So why can't you? because you're silver level and you belong there.

No, you're the one not understanding anything. See how you easily dismiss anything that hints at you not being the god you think you are.

You're making up excuses and bs because you think you're there because the elo gods are keeping you in silver.

No way would i feed anywhere near 10 kills in your elo like you do in your games. Rarely would I die 5 times rofl.

You claim you come here to seek advice but what you're doing is seeking confirmation that you're in silver because you're unlucky. Guess what, not everyone in here is stuck in "elo hell" so that bs won't slide.

I've carried basically that team from top lane as Irelia. Keep in mind, despite me being in silver, my friend (Gold 1 Season 5, Gold 3 Season 4) says I'm better at top than him. Despite that, I still find it extremely easy to carry as Irelia. Do you know why it's so easy to carry as Irelia? Because I main her. I don't mean like "oh, most of my games are Irelia," I mean I legit fucking main her. When in ranked, unless I'm playing with him (in which case we duo bot, ex-supp main as well and hes maining ADC this season, was Top/JG last 2 seasons), I play Irelia either top or jungle. When I played actively, I had a weekly win rate of over 70% after over 40 games.

I know Irelia inside and out, and while I do still have shit to learn, Irelia is easily my best champion, so I play her every damn time. This is the key to getting out of Bronze/Silver, and even Gold and sometimes Plat, ONE TRICK PONY IT.

Getting better at a single champion allows you to develop champion specific knowledge and master it (which is why Yi mains are so obnoxious, they get fed because they legit main him, like I do) and then, while you're climbing, you can work on the other shit, not involving your champion specifically, like shot calling (dragon/baron/turrets/back times/team fights/priority targets/etc.) and other macroplay things because you have the microplay perfected.

The DeckownerFeb 29, 20161 votes

the only part i do not agree is the micro play because no one gives a shit about your shotcalling. for example in this game numerous times i call for dragon and either 1) enemy started it and my team is not following me so i cant contest or 2) we are starting drag and the akali just went straight into 1v5 while caitlyn farms bot. and with me and blitz unable to kill the drag fast enough we simply lose it.

Fanny ForecastFeb 29, 20162 votes

shotcalling is macroplay. microplay is mechanics and knowing your damage, your tankiness, etc. as for those games you mentioned, here's what you do in those situations

don't even go near dragon pit. if you know theyre taking it, ping a danger ping, go in chat and say "they're taking it, let them have. we can't contest"
if you're the jungler, be like "hey guys, I can probs finish this off solo, buy me some time? try to not go for a full fight, keep them at bay as long as you can." otherwise say a similar thing but include that the jg should finish off

Also, if your team isn't there and the enemy team is missing and you don't have wards, DON'T TAKE DRAGON. No matter how safe you think it is, if it isn't warded, IT ISN'T SAFE.

The DeckownerFeb 29, 20161 votes

i did exactly what u said at 1 and my team still went for it... idk i guess they are thinking "enemy are grouping at drag where we have no vision and our team isnt grouped! i better facecheck it."

and 2 is kinda impossible to do as nautilus, the dmg i do to drag is way too minor for soloing.

1 800 MID LANEFeb 29, 20162 votes

Your kill participation is abysmal. Especially for a jungler. Renek got stomped, but at that point, you should've camped mid and bot. They may have performed badly, but you didn't do that great, either. Playing a tank jungler in this meta, you HAVE to get your teammates as fed as you can.

The DeckownerFeb 29, 20161 votes

i have explained, 1.fights are so dragged out assists werent counted 2 most of our kills were solo or cleaned up, i spent most of my time trying to defend the falling nexus turret.

i did camp mid and get the akali quite fed(she had a hard time surviving early game cause she isnt good at using her w for safe cs), but it doesnt maptter much because she just dives in and suicide cause the blitz got her mad

That alone is a huge problem. Naut has ZERO wave clear and you left your team not only in a 4v5, but down a tank. Anyone other than you or Blitz could've done it more efficiently and thus getting back to wherever anyone else was faster. Considering the ending stats, I'd say it should've been Renek so by that logic, it was partially on him, but you should've never left your team at all.

WOW dont get me wrong it was 2 inhibs down and my team decided to group mid and push with no drag/baron up, my fault that i am trying to save my nexus?

if my teammates would do it i wouldnt fucking spent 3 minutes trying to fight superminions as a no dmg tank!it was a one man army of my void spawns and i, against 2~3waves of superminions in our base. none of us should have walked out of base!

Technically speaking, it was your fault that you were trying to save the nexus. Going off of what you meant, I only said that you shouldn't have. Not that it was some horrible, game-ending decision while you could've come back. Learn from it, and move on. There's nothing to be done about it now.

Did the enemy jungler camp toplane while you farmed jungle? Because that is what your CS, kill participation, and kda are telling me.

The DeckownerFeb 29, 20161 votes

the enemy jg never ganked, she just keep farming. its a shyvana.

the reason i have such high cs is because i have to constantly cover top and mid lane because they recalled/teleported to bot, and in mid-late game i spent a lot of time defending the superminions because no one else is willing to do so.

Then maybe being the non-devour jungler you should have been ganking to snowball the game forward.

The DeckownerFeb 29, 20161 votes

how can i gank when top and bot had died more than once before my first clear? it will just result in me dying too. i did gank mid to release pressure for my mid laner but that is all i could do.

You realize we can see your ranked games right?

http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2110764831/227568835?tab=overview

Your team was actually at one point 5-0. Your first teammate didn't die until 10 minutes into the game.

I also note you had 0 dragons versus their 3, and your team let their Jhin get incredibly fed.

It seems like you did nothing mid-late game to help your team take advantage of your team's early lead.

The DeckownerFeb 29, 20161 votes

i have no idea how we were 5 and 0, i clearly remember the first kill we got was akali killing zed after i burned his flash, and then a stupid shyvana diving bot alone and died.

the problem with us having no drag is again, no follow ups. adc wanna farm bot and mid went to invade enemy jg when i was doing drag with blitz, which was extremely slow and we were eventually killed because they found akali is the jg killed her and realized we are doing drag.

post mid game any objective other than inhib turrets were uncontestable for us, because of the lead enemy has.
