So iv been playing this game and put in about 15 thousand matches in i started ranked seriously last season and man ranked system is stupid i can see an experienced player to a inexperienced player and ill tell you the majority of the games i get in "ranked" which is supposed to be to equal teams going against each other in an epic battle right? no one team is MUCH more likely to win but what i was gonna say was is the majority of my matches are TERRIBLE games either we destroy them or we get smashed there is almost NEVER a fair just overall good or great game at least there is no epic battle* which is ranked. as for frustrations man im sure we can all say if we are all trying to climb but you have to go against a team of players who have played as long as me its not gonna be fun its gonna be horribly discouraging honestly makes me angrier then ever ha ha...to shorten this though the problem with ranked is that the games are never equal you don't get good matches and you CANNOT play like a diamond player in bronze elo you WILL loose its not about the individuals skill its about the overall knowledge the team has as a group that where the win comes from especially for silver through plat where you are good if you have kills and suck if you get killed. iv played with diamonds and i cant get passed silver though the reason i can is cause the knowledge of the game i have is simply greater or equal and can relate to a diamonds experience....anyway the point of all this is just cause im frustrated and ranked makes me wanna break my computer there is a HUGE BIG FAT door there though waiting for another game to develop passed that and become a much better game hopefully riot sees and understands that.. the majority of league players would agree they don't get good epic matches too at least i know for a fact that at least 10 thousand players in north america would agree...iv done some surveying * in my time.

After taking a quick look at your profile:

  • Your items builds are rather questionable
  • You are using the wrong keystone mastery on most champions
  • Your runes are horrible. They are just horrible.
  • Your CS per game is rather low
  • You rarely purchase pink wards

Honestly, you are higher than I would expect you to be considering the above mistakes.

While you may believe otherwise and will likely deny it, you are not playing like a Diamond player. Even ignoring in-game decisions, your rune/mastery setup and item builds are extremely inefficient and are holding you back rather severely.

I agree, I cannot seem to find a game where it is fun at all. I am either getting really good team mates that know what they are doing and we smack the enemy, or I am getting inexperienced team mates that feed and that results in me getting smacked. I haven't had a good game in a long time. A lot of the games are just one side being extremely better than the other, like its not even a challenge for anyone to win anymore. Games are not a good 40 minute length, usually like 20-30 minutes now in ranked. I'm not sure if this is happening because of mmr or just it being silver elo but it did not use to do this to me. I've played for a couple of years now and I haven't experienced anything like this in the time ive played and it doesnt seem to be getting fixed at all. I use to have great games and I had fun playing league but as of recently I dont find the game fun because one side is just better. Not sure how the ranked system works but I feel like the balancing of it is off. Not sure if anyone else feels this way but this is just how my games are going and I dont find it enjoyable at all. I just find it extremely hard to climb with the constant lose win lose win pattern.

What I did was completely smash my lane opponent the majority of the time to win. I would kill them multiple times, significantly out farm them, and roam/take turret during the laning phase. Then during team fights, since I usually was Lissandra I would either initiate with me E>W>R on myself while my team damaged their team or I would just keep picking off one or two of their players to make the opposing team fight advantageous for us. I also communicated often with my team, they usually listened since I was fed and got them to not make as many stupid plays. If the team is getting caught often then you need more vision, if you are losing team fights then get a carry that you can win team fights with while relying less on your team, like I did with Lissandra. Also learn to focus during team fights, most team fights are lost because the enemy carry isn't focused hard enough by the team. To win team fights your team need to focus one champion at a time unless you really know what you are doing. Most importantly never give up, you haven't lost unless your nexus falls.

Basically, League isn't really a team game until you get to Platinum/Diamond so if you can just out play your opponents and have your team follow you in the mid game you will carry yourself but if you can't do that, do the things I have said on here to help with your team to get the W.

you CANNOT play like a diamond player in bronze elo you WILL loose its not about the individuals skill its about the overall knowledge the team has as a group that where the win comes from

you can. every single not boosted diamond player wouldn't need more than a week to reach gold while playing seriously.

iv played with diamonds and i cant get passed silver though the reason i can is cause the knowledge of the game i have is simply greater or equal and can relate to a diamonds experience

experience is so incredible unimportant in low elo. learning from what you experience is far more valuable. There are sooo many players who think they don't belong where they are but still are stuck in bronze or silver for several thousands of games. your experience may be equal to a diamond ones, but your game knowledge isn't even close to his (compare post from EndlessSorcerer).

I am currently in Plat 5 and it only took me 2 weeks to get from Silver 4 to Gold 5 at the start of the season because of how easy it was for me to hard carry my team. I can tell you I am no Diamond player, but Silver was extremely easy for me and playing with bronze is even easier than that.
