STOP worrying about the enemy comp, winrate, etc.

Play Classic WoW··18 votes·1,238 views

Something that I see CONSTANTLY in low elo or just solo queue in general is that when people see a decent winrate on op.gg or a decent enemy comp, they start mind gaming themselves and end up underperforming in their lane and feed to what they feared most about. STOP THIS. RIGHT NOW. Forget their comp, forget their winrate. Worry about doing good yourself. This game is 50% mentality, 50% being a decent player in terms of game knowledge and mechanics. The mentality part is MASSIVE. Stop screwing your mental. Be confident in your ability to beat the enemy team and pull a win out.

I don't even look up OPGG any more.

I've seen bronzies tear me to pieces, and I've seen diamonds with no idea what to do against me.

I gave up trying to make sense of League players years ago [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Yeaaah.. LoL is funny like that. I do a lot of 1v1s for fun and I can't count on my fingers the amount of challengers I have beaten.. Where mechanics is essentially the only thing that matters.

I'm the opposite. All I'm good for is realizing the right moment to start a fight and starting it :D

If a champion has a win rate that is less than 100% it means they can lose, so spend your time and energy on finding a way to beat them. Have an upvote for the good message.

This is for sure not only a low elo problem :P Whether it be on the boards, youtube or ingame, I've seen several 'high elo' players fantasizing over these winrates and shit lmao. I go to pick a champ and get told "uhh you know he has a low winrate right?" Yeah buddy well have you checked MY winrate with him? :D

Peoplez are silly

Thank you for this. I have been advocating this ideal for years now. The enemy team doesn't matter. To be honest YOUR team doesn't matter that much as long as they are active and trying. You can ALWAYS win, and yet now days people throw in the towel in under 2 minutes.

I do agree with that partially. It seems like with every season it becomes harder and harder to 1v5. I remember the days when I could just run into the enemy team as a slightly fed yi and penta. But yeah, you are the only thing that matters because what's stopping those challenger players from doing bronze to challenger in couple weeks? Nothing. That's why they get challenger.

I agree that it isn't everything but it's so wrong to say that they aren't factors. It also makes sense imo that as people become more knowledgeable and have better mechanics these seemingly small factors like enemy composition matter far more. I wont lie though I'll often question the decisions of some high elo players when watching youtube videos or something, just because it really doesn't seem impactful. All in all mentality is very important especially in ranked but that doesn't mean they need to ignore other factors.

Never said they aren't the factors. But attitude is still a huge problem with players.

I agree, I had so many players right out complain at the start. Saying they have Yasuo, gg /ff at 15 mins then practally feeds all game. I even have a video of a Ranked match of someone did that with a Rengar pick on the enemy side. Guess what carried them? Their Vayne that got fed cause of a Tristana that practally gave up and not the Rengar.

I can't even right now with that "They have Yasuo, GG" statement. As a Yasuo main, he is in a HORRIBLE spot right now with the new runes. Not having fervor makes early game beyond awful. It sucks because I love the champion. That being said, you can still win with him easily if you get fed.. Like most champions.

Its pretty sad to see stuff like that on champs the doing bad due to changes or meta really. I had one game pretty recently as Ahri with someone on the other side trying to convince me that Ahri is op and does to much damage. Lol Sad part is that I never once 100-0 bursted someone that game and all my kills was with help of ganks, teamfights, and general bad play auch as staying in lane with no HP with my Ult going to up soon.

these winrates are nonsense stats.... they don't filter out stuff, like trolls/afkers/feeders and they also forget its a teamgame, so champion functionality cannot be calculated that way -.- the stats you see are average team comp stats with said champion, not individual stats.

been trying to explain for years these stats mean nothing to viability or functionality [slayer-jinx-unamused]

this game has become pick the most op broken champion and spam oneshots or sustain yourself like a god whilst 2 shotting.

its hard to keep up mentaly when 2 assassins or 2 tanks can destroy 5 man by themselves [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

60% of all matches are dodge one shot abilities. 99% of all matches are press X button to activate item 2420/item 3157 or get oneshotted. 40% of all matches are playing hide and seek with tanks zero strategy or tactics, just button mashing, or standing still and basic attacking everything to death....

meanwhile towers still too weak.... drake gives op perma buff baron is useless

riot has been experimenting on how to ruin our games even more too^^ riot already tried a bullet hell [sg-ahri-1] i want to forget star guardian event :( riot has stated they want every game to be like barf i mean (AR)URF [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

even i get down when i see assassins or tanks or op marksmen or mages or specific comps :/ and i dont look at third party sites like op.gg -.- just by sheer experience :/ i do have to note i always try to play to the fullest even if we are losing hard or opponents are op or toxic comps, when the nexus still stands you can still win!, i've done and seen insane comeback matches [sg-ezreal]

Actually, the percentages are more like 10% your skill, 65% your trash teammates, and 25% meta.

I'm allways more worried about those 30% wr yasuos in my team.
