Im a low gold/high silver skill level, not the best, but also can hold my own in every lane other than mid. My friend got into league of legends, and wanted to learn how to ADC, so I decided to help him not knowing that it would send me on this tailspin of a fuckfest back into bronze mmr in my normal games. Naturally like all of us, he played terribly when he first started out, and we lost a lot. but it was whatever, he is learning, so no big deal, PLUS its norms.

Losing all that while he was learning KILLED my MMR when it comes to normals, and now im stuck in this god damn tailspin of being stuck in bronze. Bronze is just a deathmatch. Unnecessary fights, no communication, and the idea of vision is actually laughable. My play style isnt suited for the hack and slash all ins that bronze has too. I like to safely farm up, then pick the fights, so I dont like to take on the "carry" role right away. Now im just stuck playing these games.

Im being punished for being a good friend.

Make an alternate account to play with new friends. If you can't get out of your elo, it means you belong in that elo. Everyone else carried their way through the feeders and afk's (or got really really lucky).

This is why you make a fresh account to help a new player.

its just normal mmr who cares? if you play enough itll climb easily. i have bronze mmr on my d3 acc and im pretty sure if i duo 5 games and win them with my diamond friend itll be back on track.

best advice if you wanna "help" a new player and you dont wanna screw up your mmr create a smurf and play on your smurf with him so you are facing lower level / lower mmr and make it easier for them to learn

my friend did that when i 1st got into league

and once your friend is lvl 30 or whatever stop playing on smurf and go back to main

Well what would you want them to do about it? Disable MMR loss if you play in a duo? Sounds like BS to me
