Other then inting, how can I lower my mmr?

a little shadow·11/3/2017, 1:51:11 AM·5 votes·7,335 views

Every game I have around a .5 to 1.5 kda. My tower is always first to go down. Always out farmed. Today I played into a jhin mid and a varus mid, even they shit on me. People literally can not try and pick troll picks into my mains and I still lose. Every game I just get shit on or hard carried. I'm playing with people who are better then me, I will admit that. I figured I could just play out the super frustrating games but my mmr hasn't changed at all. I'm debating just going and inting for 20+ games so I can play with people who aren't way above my skill level again. I'd rather not purposely ruin others games but at this point I can't even play league and it's the only game I enjoy. If anyone knows how to lower mmr without purposefully feeding or making a new account please let me know how. [zombie-nunu-bummed]

Your aim shouldn't be to lower your MMR. Your aim should be being able to compete with those who you are currently struggling with. Intentionally feeding is against the rules, which I am sure you know. Please, keep you head up, and continue to work forward, even though you might lose the games, you may nto do so well, but the point of this game is to have fun with 4 other people. Don't get down about it, work at it.

You have to be statistically lower then your average

low kda

low cs ( just auto attack the wave like your brainlessly pushing )

low kill participation ( dont be in winning team fights )

low damage across the board with the expect jungle and creep damage

low ward placement ( literally just dont ward )

Play a carry role so your team doesnt win

rather than trying to lose MMR, why not try to become a better player? I suggest you watch SoloRenekton and Neace on YouTube. Their videos are very informative.

Also out of curiosity, what sort of champs are you trying to main?

EDIT: Dude you have a 61% win rate on Kennen and 56% on Ahri... you are not getting stomped in any way when you play those champs. Just try to keep your champ pool to what you know when playing ranked and practice new stuff consistently in normals if you are not comfortable with it

Instead of taking the chance and learn how to play against ''better'' players you wanna lower your MMR... wow

Let me give you some thoughts, as I also wondered the same thing for a long time when I first started playing this game.

The key point behind the game's matchmaking system is to reach a "peak" level where you are evenly matched with the enemies. When you are stomping enemies and winning games with ease, you haven't reached your "peak" MMR. Once games start becoming increasingly difficult and you lose more than you are winning, you finally crossed that point.

This is where the big issue comes into play, you don't always play every champion at the same skill level. Maybe you climbed using "meta" champions that were nerfed, or you're an OTP who just isn't practiced enough on other champions. In order to overcome this limitation, it's essential to force yourself to learn and adapt, even if you aren't ladder climbing and simply playing normal games. Your MMR is exactly where you should be if you are having a hard time stomping games and that means there's room for you to improve beyond how you are playing currently. Of course, you can always keep playing OTP or being a "meta slave" but you'll find yourself in this same predicament time and time again when the meta changes or you are unable to play your favorite champion.

If your enemies are outplaying you, then take mental notes on things that they are doing, and try to use them yourself. Sure, you might not be as good as your enemy now, but with practice you can achieve the same things he was doing to you in time.

In your last game you played Ahri in a lane against Jayce, I believe the reason you had a difficult time was due to your itemization choices. When you play against an AD champion like Zed or Jayce who is rushing lethality it's very important to build armor early in the game. Lethality falls off late game if the enemy does not gain a lead on you, as generally its biggest use is snowballing against enemies with no armor. One 300g cloth armor negates about 80% of his 1100g Serrated Dirk purchase when you are the same level as him. The more levels he has over you, the more and more powerful his Lethality becomes.. so purchasing that BEFORE he gets that lead is crucial. The best upgraded item for Ahri vs Jayce / Zed is most likely a Zhonyas (could be wrong, but it's an educated guess). With the active you can do a lot of things like bait him into tower dives, stall for your cool downs, or block his ignite damage from a safe location after using R to escape.

Assuming you're talking about ranked, dodge queues.

I know how. First do not look at the map(map awareness) just listen to your greedyness do not thinking about dying just thinking about getting a kill even though u didn't got the trade, use yasuo or useless champ, be selfish and when u didn't got a kill and u die just say got lagged, be a hero to yourself save yourself, IMPORTANT THING do not place a ward DO NOT INTING IF YOU DON'T WANNA GET BANNED

Couple of options:

Play stuff you're bad at. Really bad at. I dunno about you, but I have champs/styles I suck at but still find fun when I'm being smashed.
Play stuff that's weak but not troll - stuff like full damage Nocturne (free kills but never gonna go better than 1 for 1 in a real teamfights, usually worse) or split push in Nasus and just keep splitting and stacking.
Get 4 other people who want the same thing, play a bunch of games normally until 15m, then surrender.
Start a new account.

Inting will get you banned, so if you're considering that you might as well just skip it and go straight to creating a new account (which you need to do anyway).

Last point:I have much the same experience (though I sometimes do fairly well) what it mostly means is that you're effective at getting carried (a good team player who contributes even when behind) which is a real skill the helps you win games.

If your gonna int feed...don't.

Play vs intermediate ai, once you feel you can shit on them just like the other players shit on you,go back to normals...then with Time learn your matchups, know what you can and what you cant Do, know your ennemy,Play the champ you got raped by...Read/understand their kit... Wich items Makes them tilt over the op side You Will be better at your main the more champs you play i know its à pain sometimes

Play normal games, your MMR is now nonexistent.

If you are trying to intentionally derank yourself, you should not be playing ranked at all..
