most games all I do is feed and get blamed get harassed reported and get so angry and "tilited" to the point I afk or just flat out be toxic and curse everyone. I just want some tips on how I'm getting worse on my main sona and soraka but yet someone who I just now started playing and having no idea of runes or masteries I somehow just took off and never did bad. I also want riot to stop matching me with people who just fly off the handle if they don't I don't so everytime it's them starting it not me. I'm also matched with people who are probably diamond and I'm bronze so its freaking fair how riot does this to me just someone help.

If you perform well early you get matched with harder opponents late and you more quickly learn how not that good you are.

The first step to getting better is figuring out what it is you don't know.

Starting with sona and soraka who you've mentioned you should probably see what it is you or your opponents do to counter your presence if anything in these games and find out what their and your weaknesses are.

from there figure out how pros deal with this and what options are available to you.

then adapt and see what more you can do.

btw not every champ will always be strong at any given time. If you are lacking in skill at all it could be a much greater burden on you than on a pro player just saying.

  1. Learn from your mistakes, take that knowledge and apply it to your games, every death can teach you a lot
  2. Ward, literally vision wins games, believe it or not. Those 75g wards will save your ass a lot and prevent ur opponent from scoring 200 or so gold on you.
  3. Learn to adapt, if your opponent is playing too ham then adapt to that play style and think of ways you can put play them to your favor.
  4. Learn different roles, try jungle and mid
  5. Dragons are important, especially if it's fire or ocean.
  6. If you are struggling and u can't farm without almost dying then tower hug, it's better to be behind in CS and experience than being behind in all of that plus kills as well.
  7. Learn to pick your battles, when to go in and when not to

If you can master most of these things, you will surely improve as a player.

Chances are if you are playing badly with one champ but not another then the fchamp you're playing with just isn't for you, not every champ can be played by a person well.

Look at games you play with Sona and Soraka, look at how you're killed. What you did that led to you getting killed, where you played them and how you played them, how you built their items then look at your enemy how did they kill you, who are they playing, what their item build is and how they we're playing. There is a reason you are doing badly with these champions and until you figure out what that reason is you will not improve with them.

The toxic thing, saying "they start it not me" does not make it okay to become toxic. I know it's hard to ignore people flaming you but reacting doesn't get you anywhere other than eventually chat restricted and then banned if you continue down the same path. As somebody said you could mute them all at the start but that doesn't really help you so much, whilst pings van communicate they don't so it as well as text and you can never know if somebody is going to flame you or offer you genuine advice at the start. If they start flaming you then by all means mute them but under no circumstances should you reality to the agresaion they show you and become toxic yourself. It not only makes the game itself less fun because you're now angry, being angry makes you play worse. You make rash decisions and get yourself into stupid aulituations that you probably wouldn't get yourself in before.

Finally if you are having a real hard time in ranked then play normals to practice more, people get less angry if you don't play well in normals (though it still happens just not as much) as they do in ranked.
