Should I just not play ranked anymore?

SetInMotion··2 votes·1,174 views

Every since I got done with my placement games in ranked, ive been losing every game. Every game I get feeders and toxic players, yes I mute them because it's annoying. But if they're typing more then they are playing, what's even the point lol I'm just stuck on b4. I want to get to silver but I think at this point it's next to impossible with the teams I get.

Getting out of bronze really isn't that difficult. It's about consistency more than anything else. I see you're playing some support, that's good!

4/8/16 Sona with a lich bane=not good. Don't use that item on her unless you're extremely ahead. 1/5/2 Ziggs 3/8/12 Zyra 1/6/4 Nami 0/7/7 Raka 3/10/14 Sona 2/6/21 Raka - Your only decent game out of your last 7 ranked games, and for some reason you built an archangel's staff on her?!?

You should look up builds or watch youtube videos of the champs you like playing. Some of your builds are really weird or just not the proper item orders. IMO on virtually any support you grab your SS with first 800 gold unless you got first blood and think you can snowball and not worried about their jungler.

Zyra->Sightstone->boots->haunting guise OR mpen boots OR frostfang depending on gold Sona/Soraka->sightstone->boots->finish combined sightstone/support item

That tear nonsense is Soraka is really bad. You want utility/tanky on Soraka all the way. She's all about staying alive and healing allies.

Building off this guys post, less deaths less kills > more kills more deaths

Try to not go above five deaths a game is my personal motto. Not that I'm good but

Honestly, I go onto mobafire for. My build guide, since they took away the item set, and it told me to build archangel staff, I was only going by what the build guide said. But it's nice to see that I don't need to build that.

you know, I type at about 160 words per minute, I can actually type out a command faster then half my cooldowns -_- you ever think maybe your just a really slow typist and it only Feels like all they do is type ?

But I don't type in game? I. Mute them when they get toxic, so Its not really about me being a "slow typist"

see, what it feels like to me, is that you just admitted a failure to communicate with your team, so now I must ask you, Did you get Signal ?

How is that lack of communication, when someone pings obviously i listen to the pings and be careful, if someone wants me to come to drag, ill go to drag, i listen well to my teammates, i communicate just fine, i only mute when they're being toxic. If someone asks me something in game, ill obviously reply, but if someone is talking trash im not gonna sit there and engage in the trash talk cause thats just useless lol

Trash teammates can indeed keep you from climbing higher. Not in Bronze though. If you deserve to get out of Bronze, you will.

I'm 100% serious about this, the key to have fewer(not saying zero) intentional feeders/trolls etc......Is to not be placed in bronze in the first place. Plenty of players are in bronze because they don't actually give a shit.

Are their diamond players who actually give 0 shits? No. Some might claim they do, and maybe one out of 50 games they will troll or something. BUT if they didn't care about the game; Why would they become good enough at it to be one of the top 1% of players.

Basically, what to do, is get better at the game. Maybe you'll get good enough to carry your ass to silver, but if not, get good enough to get placed in silver next season.

If they deleted Flex, they could remove autofill and also massively increase the game quality without hurting queue times. Right now they have huge ELO "diversity" in games even in Masters.

This guy apparently forgot solo queue is back

If you want to carry on the support role, it's rather difficult without knowing much about the game. You basically have to know how to snowball your lane via mechanics and then roam to gank teammates like a second jungler. You can't do that if you're occupied trying to win lane, have no vision across the map via Sightstone, and not leading your team. Many times when I win on support I've won my lane and am an emotional pillar for my team, so it's quite ironic.

honestly.... being good at support right now is a REALLY easy way to carry... because of auto-fill, you can almost guarantee that THEIR support wont be very good, and unless your ADC is TERRIBLE you can pretty much guarantee to get them fed.

if u don't believe me... check my past 15 games...
