I have recently been coming the ladder! From bronze 5 all the way to Silver 3! It's hell, dealing with feeders, afks, and trolls. Anyways, not what I wanted to talk about.

I've recently been on a terrible losing streak! I don't understand it, how I could be doing so well, than all of the sudden I'm silver 5. I had to take a break and look back.

Am I getting worse? I have no idea!! I don't understand how I could be doing so well, then all the sudden drop like a rock.

Tell me your frustrations!!

It's always possible that you aren't worthy of silver 3? Sometimes you get carried by your team mates, and you get a streak of games where that happens. Now while those are still wins, they aren't properly earned wins. And when that happens, it starts to consider you better than you are. So it starts placing you against opponents and allies you simply cannot compete with. You end up a hinderance to your own team, and your opponents can punish you so easily. I think this happened to me earlier this year. I had a bit of a losing streak after I had a decent winning streak. Like from silver 5 to my promos to get into silver 2. Hardly lost any games in that climb. Immediately went on a losing streak to lose promos, and dropped back close to the bottom of silver 3.

This may or may not be what happened to you. Sometimes a streak of bad games just happens for no seemingly good reason. A break is probably a good idea either way.

Your KDA deaths is to high in the past 40 games even when you do win. Try and minimize that.

the league LP system is almost as unfair as the rune system good thing for next season riot might reduce the amount of games in promos to 3 instead of 4

LP system is really bad tbh. The fact that 1person can dictate whether you win or lose is dumb. Honestly, i get that people have bad game and feed but going 0-10 is more than feeding, that's making the game a 4vs6.

Well, when you keep climbing, you'll reach players that are higher than your skill cap. If you don't better your game overall, you'll never climb higher than that.

And it's no mystery that once you reach your promos, chances are you'll be teamed with shit players because the matchmaking system will try to keep you at 50% win rate. Getting to your promos means that you've been winning a streak of matches, 3 or maybe 4. Then matchmaking will see that and want to bring you back down. By then, you're already in your promos.
