I feel so sad about Solo Queue

I was Diamond season 7 season 8 also. I have improved my game-play since then and... dropped to plat. The game is just so sad I have currently 45% winrate. Just guys how do you make around 55% I try so hard, almost always I am the ace in loosing team. I dunno what to do.

Problems as I see them:

  1. Thanks to youtube nowdays a lot of people now tricks how to win and it's just harder then previous seasons to win.
  2. Duo Queue
  3. Unfair matchmaking
  4. Unbalanced lane matchups
  5. Certain champions (even classes) totally don't profit from bounty system.
  6. Solo-oriented game-play champions being over-tuned leading them to cocky plays and throwing won games.

Wow. That are all acurate in my games as well. I also heard #1 that people are tricking the mmr system somehow now. I agree that #2 duoQ is abused a lot, because it is the most consistant way of winning. #3 matchmaking sucks like never before #4 matchups are quite fucked now, some counters no longer work as counters and some compositions are just broken as fuck #5 I think you mean some tanky junglers, top laners and supports, also healing supports, i agree. #6 Yasuo, Vayne, Riven, Rek Sai, Zed.

Yeah atm it's nearly impossible to climb with an offmeta, non-1v9 champ due to the broken matchmaking.

When I mained Ivern in S7 I usually duo'd. Champ doesn't do well on his own but benefits dramatically from having at least one reliable person on ur team each game. Also difference between high plat and low diamond is semantics. If you play well eventually you'll climb to diamond, sometimes it just starts off rough.

Also duo should preferably be a mid laner, synergy between mid and jg is legit freelo.

If it makes you feel better i lost 25 games in a row almost, 3 wins inbetween, my op.gg read 0% winrate, i dropped from plat 3 placements to gold 1, do you know how much losing it takes to drop from plat to gold again, and ofc once i dropped i started having good team mates, good junglers, non trolling supports, flamers in the enemy team not mine etc.

this game is either rigged or the rng is just not on your side sometimes

blaming something outside of your control isn't gonna make anything change, i was able to get diamond as adc when they were almost completely worthless last season.

since you are a jungler there is definitely something you are doing fundamentally wrong if you are not able to climb. Do you ever think to yourself which lanes you should gank, not which lanes you get easily get a kill or even which lanes are winning/losing, but just which lanes that secure your win-condition or are lategame after you fall off? I see egregious mistakes being made even in higher elo with junglers camping toplane having that do nothing for them and we lose the game. Are you ganking that toplane tank? are you maybe ignoring your midlaner or botlaner who have the carry potential? I point this out because it's an extremely common occurrence for me even in low-high plat to see junglers making these extremely basic mistakes that end up costing the game completely.

Ranks have been shifted around because of the new tiers. For example, 2500 MMR would place you in Diamond 4, but for the new season 2500 MMR would place you in Plat 1 (numbers are made up of course, but it shows my point). This website shows you distribution month by month, and you can see how everything has shifted around to be more of an actual bell curve now. https://www.esportstales.com/league-of-legends/rank-distribution-percentage-of-players-by-tier

Idk man. Same happened to me. I went nearly 100 games losing constantly. I went to League of Mentoring and they said "I guess, after 89 games, Plat IV is your true elo".

In the next 60 - 70 games or so, guess where I'm at? Back in Diamond.

Did I personally change much? Outside of not being tilted anymore, no.

Can I tell you what I did different? Outside of a few rune changes, none of my game play really changed.

If you were Diamond season 7 and season 8, just cracking at it more will eventually get you back there. Can't say much else other than that. Not because you actually can't. I just don't know what else there is to it.

Complain = ur never gonna climb bc thats a low elo thing to do

Accept, and tell yourself its your fault for losing, not your teammates = climb 4 divisions higher

If you ask how i know this, i placed in bronze 3 and climbed to silver 2 in less then 40 games. Have fun kids. Btw ima be in gold soon so ye gl all

I'm borderline ready to smash my PC. I cannot win a game right now the matchmaking is wrecked.

My options are:

Option 1: Push the lane. Pressure their jungler to camp me but my bot and mid still feed even with my jungler camping them.

Option 2: Sit under my tower and farm safe. Wait for ganks. Ganks never arrive. Enemy jungler takes herald. Top lost. Team feeds.

Option 3: Team doesn't feed. Chance if happening? 1/10 games.

I'm literally at my wit's end!

I frankly have no words to say on this. I can understand what you mean because it does feel a bit off. I see 3. 4. 5 and 6 on a daily basis, but I am not sure how will this be all fix.

I had a 60%+ winrate last season and now I'm in the negatives and stuck in gold. They really fucking broke it this year.

Lost 3 games in a row with enemy only having nexus people just wont listen but this is Riot i dont see problems like this in other games

Blaxonec3/6/2019, 7:36:03 AM1 votes

Thats my games

Last season -> Plat 3 Current -> hard stuck gold 1

Now I receive this -> win -> lose -> win -> lose and so on. I also get a lot of ACE, MVP as support. Also is harder to carry from this role but I am fine with this. It seems almost impossible to go beyond gold 1 , failed two times already. Last season I had a winning streaks of 5-6-7-8 , now its like "you won this one but dont be happy, next one is going to be a disaster" Also I notice that the players I play with are less skilled than I am , some of them are more skilled ofc but in general I am the playmaker and do the team calls. Also as gold 1 i receive plat 2-3-4 players. I know where my place is - Plat 1-2-3, not above , not below.

I will say this once and I will say it again: the bounty system is THE SINGLE BIGGEST PROBLEM that League of Legends has EVER had.

Marshbouy3/5/2019, 3:05:20 PM1 votes

I try so hard, almost always I am the ace in loosing team.

No, you don't.

Going through your losses, I will compare your team's ACE's OP score to yours. (for the unintiated, OP score is a metric used to measure your positive impact on a game)

6.5 to 6.5 6.3 to 6.3 (you were ace) 6.8 to 6.8 (you were ace) 5.8 to 5.7 6.5 to 4.5 7.5 to 5.4 5.8 to 5.3 6.4 to 5.3

Your claim is not factual. You are not doing poorly, but you are not doing exceptional in any of your games either. Additionally, you are playing Ivern, a champion that cannot do much on his own. He is extremely reliant on teammates to back him up. Not having consistent teammates and refusing to duoQ with people who would be consistent is essentially shooting yourself in the foot.

My recommendation is to pick a different playstyle and a different jungler. Whatever you’re doing now isn’t working and blaming the system won’t let you climb.

edit: on some weird wifi, apologies for double posting.

Im sitting at Plat 3 with a 70% wr on Twitch out of 60 games. I get placed with low gold's every game, 70% wr... Garbage game

Same thing happened to me as well. I've been a gold player the last several years, with about a 50-50 W/L ratio and this season I am stuck in mid silver with a -40 W/L ratio. This season has by far been the worst for me.

Thefrostyviking3/5/2019, 4:46:12 PM1 votes

Having looked into your profile for a bit i see that you mainly play Ivern and vlad, then about 5 others that have about 5 to 10 games each, and another 25 with 1-3 games each.

So lets first mention that Ivern is a terrible champ for soloq climbing, he is super team reliant to actually get anywhere so playing him is just shooting yourself in the foot, you can do super well and still get nothing done.

Then for some generalisation but a average/bad KDA over multiple games most likely means you get carried, because otherwise you´d have better stats, so you do pretty poorly on vlad, nasus and Teemo as well, on nasus especially you dont seem to do much.

So i´d recommend to stop playing Ivern if you want to have a real impact, the champ is both cheesy and team reliant and ends up being little more than a glorified support whom often isnt needed, then i´d suggest investing yourself in 2 roles or a much more limited pool of champions, you are too spread out so you wont ever archive mastery over your picks and will never be able to bring out their full potential to carry your games, except on Ivern who cant carry.....so yeah, replace him.

I have a buddy who hit diamond 3 solo in 45-50 games playing only Yi, vlad and malphite, he got good at those 3 and basically stomped his way up with em.

OP your style of playing so many champs, and maining a bad one for soloplay like Ivern, is what keeps you down, a jack of all trades will NEVER be able to do better than a specialist and at your level those specialists are good enough to minimize difficulties from being countered, especially from someone who doesnt know to play the counters well enough.
