I stopped playing ranked a couple of weeks ago because of this exact thing. And I'm loving LoL so much more. No pressure, just having fun.

Yeah sometimes I feel like the stress from having to carry every game isn't good for the heart

Well, the people running rito are stupid. So it's not going to change. They are actually actively trying to make ranked less competitive and encourage feeding.

While I agree with the first part, I'll need some evidence on the second.

I can report someone with 100+ games of going 0-42-1 and check OP.gg to see they're still playing.
I can report someone with 50+ games of going AFK, only to get a reply saying AFK is never banable.
They halved the XP required to reach level 30. This means less experience is required to reach ranked, thus lowering the competition. This also is encouraging feeding as they're throwing new players into silver 2 games. I had a player that was 0-3 in his provisional games in my silver 2 game. He had not played the season before. So this was a fresh account. And it's not the player's fault that he sucks, it's rito's for putting him in a position to feed because they're afraid of offending players by putting them in bronze.
They throw everyone into silver. Win your first provisional game? Silver. Go 2-8 in provisional games? Silver.
Once you're silver, it's basically impossible to get demoted to bronze.
Nothing get punished except "toxic" chat.

nah you're not the only one. with how things are right now both in meta and with how the matchmaking is, it's not worth playing for me.

I am because I get four goldies on my team that act like they are god while they manage to feed their asses off.

I went on the biggest winning streak of my life and got from gold 3 to plat 3 in about a month.

Then I went on the biggest losing streak I've ever had and dropped to plat 5.

I finally evened out and am climbing again, halfway back to plat 3 promos.

The only way to fix it is to play. Streaks happen both ways, but if you keep playing you'll end up where you should. Eventually.

And deluded optimists are why I keep laughing. Ironically, that same deluded optimism keeps me playing.

search on youtube "hatate 20 defeat" he lost 20 games in a row because of his team... (and 2-3 because of him.. eh) from Diamond 5 to platinum 3

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. It does happen.

But not playing doesn't make that statistics tilt more in your favor. You just gotta keep playing and ride it out.

I'm starting to realize that my best way to contribute to the team as a top laner whether I win lane or not is to properly splitpush. It works when you're ahead, it works when you're behind, it works when your team is ahead or when they're behind.

The only time it doesn't work is when your team is so far behind that they lose even a 3v4 and can't stop getting engaged on - or when the enemy can group as 5 and end against your 4 teamates even if they sit at tower and try to hold before you are able to threaten real damage on their base.

It's had an interesting effect on my laning as I'm no longer worrying about a need to get ahead and carry since I have a strategy that works similarly regardless - so I end up taking lest risks and feeling less stressed.
