6 Loss steak but I have pretty good KDAs?

Squidsword·3/5/2016, 1:05:17 AM·2 votes·795 views

I don't really think I'm tilting but I just lost 6 ranked games in a row, all of them having a good KDA except for that one Darius game I played, in which I still think I did pretty fine in. I think it's a luck issue but I'm fine if anybody is willing to argue with me or any tips to prevent this from happening? (I can't carry hard enough so don't reply with how I have to carry the team to win and bla bla bla) I main and I know he's one of the hardest champions but I'm doing fine with him so I'll continue to main him.

Any tips from an main?

EDIT: Thanks guys for the tips, I decided to play extremely passively so I wouldn't die and I went 10/3 in the middle of the game while having 100+ cs than the enemy laner early game since the Xerath played really aggressively. I gave the enemy team their first kill from the Xerath ult but I was still tons of CS ahead even though I was 0/1/0. The enemy Lucian carried their team as well (even got a penta) but we managed to assassinate him enough and I finished the game 14/5/9 as my main with a 1v3 triple kill and a 9 killing streak which let us take all their inhib turrets and inhibitors in one ace and it ended my loss streak after we Baroned and pushed into their nexus.

I know what you mean, but I have no idea how to solve it because i'm in the same position.

Solve the problem however you want

Sometimes you can't carry, it happens, most of the time people can do things better though

Well, let's take a look.

Game 1 = 1.11 KDA with Darius. Your whole team sucked. You didn't help. Game 2 = 1.64 KDA with Zed. Your whole team sucked. You didn't help. Game 3 = 1.50 KDA with Azir. This was winnable but their adc snowballed. Having 14 deaths didn't help you. Where's your zhonyas? Game 4 = 3.88 KDA with Azir. You did well. You had some help from your 10/5/24 Sej though. That jungle probably carried the game. Game 5 = 6.00 KDA with Mundo. Your KDA was fine, but you were only 3/2/9. You didn't exactly snowball though. Your adc did well. Your team had a gold lead. Enemy team had 3 dragons to your 0. That didn't help at all. You only placed 5 wards all game and didn't buy a pink. You had no reason to lose this game. Game 6 = 2.63 KDA with Kogmaw. Your team was bad. You didn't really have a chance unless you got an early lead which is nearly impossible with Kogmaw. He's a late game champ.

Here's what I would recommend: Aim for a 3+ KDA. If you're not generating a 3+ KDA then chances are you're giving up more gold in deaths than you are generating with kills/assists. It's better to miss a kill than to give up a death. Focus on vision and warding. Always have a pink on the map.. it's cheap. Finally, play champs with strong early game. In your elo games can be won in the first 15 minutes if you can snowball. Many of the champs you are playing are late-game scaling champs.

Good luck.

If you're placing pink wards in good locations based on the amount of map control your team has you should only need to buy 2 or 3 per game. That being said, I usually determine how long I'm willing to 'wait' on gold based on what items I'm going to leave base with. If it's to finish an expensive item, then I'll wait for up to 40 or 50 gold. If it's to finish tier 1 boots, I'll wait up to 15 or 20 gold. If it's just to buy a pink ward, it depends on whether or not may lane is shoved into the enemy's tower and if they're in lane and freezing or pushing (ie: how much time do I have to get back to lane and how many minions/gold/exp will I miss).

Getting kills doesn't mean much if you're going to be dying just as much. If you're dead then you can't help your team win fights or take objectives. While dead you also get no experience or farm either. You have to figure out why you're dying so often and avoid those mistakes.
