I just don't understand. I mentally and emotionally do not understand how I can be at a 60% win rate, then suddenly drop to a 20% in a matter of a few games. What I don't understand even more is, how does one single loss puncture my MMR so bad that I climb downhill so rapidly in rank?
Sona Ping5 votesIt's tilt. That's not MMR that does that.
50CaliberHecate2 votesSee you would think that. But even if I tilt, I still do WAY better than my team. Like I can get fed in the role I'm in, except support of course, and my other laners will just instantly die at lvl 3. They make the mistake to engage, which is just dumbfounding. Cause' they do it the first time and die, it's ok. But if they constantly engage and feed the enemy, I don't see how that should reflect on me? you know?
Sona Ping3 votesYeah, but even if the teammates are like that, you are the constant. Remember, League is a game that snowballs. Advantages gained by an individual enable teammates to perform also. And the reverse, not playing as well to not gain as much advantage allows more opportunity for teammates to make mistakes and fail while also not having enough lead to absorb their mistakes and continue the winning trend in the match.
If your MMR did get "punctured" and dropped, you would get easier players and in games against easier players you would be more able to gain advantages and do so easier and perform better in your win rates.
T4underbolt1 votesUnless you are ADC you have no agency in this game. Your advantage means nothing nowadays since now enemy laner you destroyed is worth 0.8 of a player and can comeback easily while you are only 1.3 of a player even after doing so much to win lane. In the past guy who lost lane was like half of a player and one who won 2.0. and it was worth it to play aggressive and winning lanes. Now you just try to farm survive and then be a brochure to ADC so your individual play doesn't matter.
remakoro1 votescmon. death at lvl 3 isnt that bad. People can start dying at lvl 1 or even before minions spawn. You are to harsh on them dude.
SanKakU2 votesIME, people that 'do way better than their team' are securing the downfall of their teammates while securing whatever KDA they feel is appropriate to satisfy their enormous pride.
50CaliberHecate1 votesI don't have an enormous pride if that is what you are insinuating. I simply know by facts that if I'm not feeding and doing what I can to help my team get back on their feet, whether it be pushing the lane in or ganking other lanes to supply support, or engaging in team fights.... and my team simply does not react upon such situations to better the game for themselves, it is not my fault.
I don't mean to play the "blame" game, but 1 player can only do SO much for a 5 man team. Especially if I'm in weaker roles like mid and support.
I don't feel like arrogance and status has anything to do with the situations at hand. I find that with statistics, I should statistically be matchmaking with teams of higher quality/ and playing against teams of higher quality, if I'm going to perform at a higher quality and examples are set in my own gameplay.
I see small tiny things to be issues... like... say for instance vision score, being one stat. Ok, so I get a vision score of 35 by the end of the game, but my mid and top get a vision score of 5 by the end of the game. They didn't find warding as important as I did, they didn't use them skillfully, and they didn't react to situations exude into their lane by enemy player ganks. Ok, so what exactly set me on their skill level? What went wrong in something so simple that I'm being insta-matched with players vastly below my skill level. I just don't understand?!
SanKakU1 votesI had like 5 losses in 20 recent matches but got to play with a guy with 5 wins in 20 recent matches. Sometimes there's nothing you can do, some players do not want to win. But usually they just have no clue how to play the game and can't handle the concept of teamwork. Personally, while I can't claim to think you're toxic, I doubt you fully grasp how this team game works when you make comments like 'I don't get fed on support'. Maybe you just don't have the experience in recent patches to grasp how getting fed as support works lately, and perhaps not in the past as well. But in any case, since I've noticed other supports not doing it also, I'll let you know what the secret is. Upgrade your income item all the way as fast as you can. It's the only way to reliably increase your gold income for the rest of the game. It might also help to make sure you have the right income item for the match you're playing. Many champs nowadays simply cannot get away with the blue income item anymore that used to be able to. And the green one isn't as universally good as it used to be for that matter. Particularly since the yellow income item costs the least by far for its final upgrade.
50CaliberHecate1 votesI always upgrade my support item to get wards asap and the benefits of gold. I'm noticing ALOT of champs are just recommended blue instantly and Idk if that's very helpful. Like... as Rakan, I like to take yellow just because of the mana safety and the fact that it's easier to escape after getting the coins. Unlike playiing someone like Soraka who will walk up to a coin on the ground and risks taking aggro or punishment from champions. Now I really can't figure out a good starting item for support like Janna and Nami. Should I take yellow or blue??? both help so much in different ways.
Now for the rest of the roles, I've pretty much established what to build.
XxDRAGONsAK47xX1 votesI know man.
Riot saw my 55% winrate and they were like.
"WTF??? WHY IS HE NOT AT 50?? Give him a few trolls"
And bam, down to a 52% 50% is in sight.
ZackTheWaffleMan1 votesYeah, but I just suck.
