I Honestly Don't Know How to Play With Terrible Allies
Game 1, picked Yuumi, didn't do great, but didn't do bad either. Jungle and ADC go double digit deaths at the end of the match and top lane never bothered buying boots and provided little to no presence in fights other than dying 7 times as a Juggernaut. Mid performed adequately.
Game 2, picked Pyke, enemy team had Ashe and Teemo bot lane and our ADC wasn't capable of adapting to it so they couldn't farm and provided no presence in the entirety of the match other than handing the enemy more gold and experience by dying to them. I felt completely helpless. Jungle performed adequately, but mid kept kamekaze'ing the enemy and top fed the ever living crap out of the enemy Poppy.
Game 3, got sick of trying to support after 2 games into the day; so, I picked Garen. Played it safe against Rumble and managed to out farm him by a lot. Ended the match in 0 deaths and secured a few objectives for the team. All other players fed, however. ADC did well in the face of team feed, but it wasn't enough.
Game 4, picked Garen top again, thinking that I figured out what I had done wrong in the last game. My allies kept trying to trade one for one kills except our support who did well. I only ever used teleport to join in team fights and eliminate whatever enemy was marked as the villain to optimize my damage output in team fights. Lost a lot of farm to the enemy top, but I managed to salvage many of our otherwise lost team fights. My performance helped us get the enemy down to their last Nexus turret and my team got cocky and tried taking Baron with a visible twitch nearby. I managed to kill him, but not before he stole it. We lost the next team fight and the match.
Had dinner, took a bath, then took a nap to try and get myself out of tilt mode.
Game 5, picked Yuumi again, figuring that even a bad performing ADC can win a match when paired with a good support. Ended 1/0/18 with another loss. Jungle fed hard, ADC was mediocre at best, mid fed hard, and our top lane made the attempt but proved too aggressive towards the end.
Game 6, picked Rakan, scored an S- with my score of 4/4/25. Game started out well enough. We scored first blood early and first turret. Wasn't enough, not nearly enough. Jungle and Mid ended with double digit deaths because all they cared for were kills. Top didn't do too well, but they were Ornn and their ult won us many team fights. Our ADC was patient and knew when to fight and when to back off, but they were still the ADC and easily picked because the match boiled down to a 5v3 with our jungle and mid constantly dead or chasing an enemy, resulting in them being dead.
Game 7, picked Pyke. I quickly lost my will to play that match at all as our mid died every minute or two to the enemy mid. Our top traded places with them so our original mid went on to feed the enemy top while our original top quickly found out, the hard way, they could do nothing against the fed enemy mid and only managed to feed that player even more. After two failed surrender votes, I just waited by our nexus turrets shortly after the enemy destroyed our middle inhibitor to see if my team would try and organize for one last team fight. The game ended with the rift herald dancing around our destroyed nexus...
Ranked queues are disabled at the time of me writing this post. I don't know if game 8 will be any better or worse. All I know is my win rate is now at 50% instead of 51% because of today. I'm over 400 games played this season and I am still bronze.
Guess it's totally my fault for not being able to 1v9, 2v8, or 3v7, huh?
