I went on a tilt streak down to Silver 5 now I am stuck!

These are true stories:

First game in silver 5, support leona rushes nashor tooth first item Second game I'm top and my bot lane goes 2/15 in 12 minutes Third game my team wouldn't stop fighting and managed to achieve 20 deaths in 10 minutes

These games are officially uncarryable! I just want to reset my elo now.

Thats what you say until you get there and it becomes 10x harder than where you were before because you can no longer rely on your team mates for anything

Elaborate?? What mmr are u referring to if one at all?

When I was in Gold everyone was fairly the same skill level so all it took was me to do better than average and win. Now I have to carry Nashor Tooth Leona or an urgot that goes 0/12 in 15 minutes which is a LOT harder.

See I find it the other way around.. Bronze-low Silver i find extremely easy.. Soon as i get around low Gold i find it to be a matter of, who has the bigger derps and who has the people capable of still climbing.

I'm having a similar issue, but it's not something to fix by complaining. I tend to get to 80-90 LP and then get on a rough losing streak.

Such is life. Keep trying, and you'll get there.

Just stay calm and continue to rise in elo. I've been through elo hell myself, where it just seemed like no matter how hard I tried, getting out of bronze 5 was impossible... today I stood victorious and managed to reach silver 5, and now I'm reaching to achieve my goal reaching to gold and regardless of how long I stay or drop a rank, I'm eventually going to get there knowing my KDA in most games is consistent and I contribute to the best of my ability in each one of them, if my teams throw, oh well, not all of them will, but it certainly is better me not being the factor to the throws and continuing the trend for more wins.

It make take hundreds of games, but one winning spree will completely change your mmr for more equal skill players. Keep a good consistent KDA in all your matches, and the majority of them you will win rather than being that guy that fed and needs carried. If you're on tilt, just take a break and do some blind pick or aram, have fun and relax and then jump right back into ranked. Duo with a friend for better odds.

Honestly just staying off tilt and never typing in chat unless it's informative like "naut is building ZZ" will help keep your teams more motivated to win.

Keep in mind that even though you get trolls, the enemy team also may have trolls. It's a 50/50 on which side the troll is on and if they're even intentionally trolling.

Thank you this was refreshing to read. Glad you got into Silver! I know a lot of people say they can't tell the difference in skill as they climb through the ranks but I defintely can when I climb/drop

Good luck getting into Gold!
