Why Do I Lose Games A Lot?

Shukuchi··2 votes·565 views

Yesterday, 4 games in a row loss. Last time, 5 games in a row loss. Today, 3 games in a row loss. Why does this happen? I know losing games a lot is part of playing in League of Legends and climbing up the ladder and how you find to see your mistakes, but I kind of see this being very, very frustrating. Like I want to use my bonus, but just can't get one victory. The average of me winning a game per day is like 2, while out of 5 games I win once (my estimation.) Like why am I losing so many games?

Is it because:

  1. Unbalanced teams (one team having high elo while my team is not as good)
  2. My teammates being behind (not grouping, feeding, laning is poor)
  3. Me (I know it's me, I suck, everybody sucks, that's how games work, but is it just me?)

Like I want to know how to win games more. I know how to win games more by finding mistakes and learning them from it, learning pros, and others, but is there other ways to win games more?

If you want to gain a higher rank as fast as possible (start winning more games than you lose), here's an advice. Find ONE champion you absolutely love playing, and never play anything else again. What this does is that after x amount of games, you will know your champion inside out, know how much damage you do to what targets, know when and how to aim your skillshots and over all become extremely mechanically experienced with that champion. Essentially you want to get as good as possible with that champion, so that the champion as some point feels second nature to you. Why you may ask? Well let me explain you. Question: How do you get better at the game? Answer: by playing versus players that are better than you. Only players that are better than you can show you your mistakes. If you're playing in bronze, going for that minion while being at a disadvantage may go unpunished. If your enemy however is skilled, he will see his chance and punish you for your greed. Only this way you can learn your mistakes and try to make it better next game. Next question: How do you get better enemies? Answer: By climbing the ladder (obviously). But how do you climb the ladder in the most effective way? By being mechanically skilled at a champion. If you're mechanically skilled with a champion you will win your lane the majority of games. Winning lane doesn't guarantee a win, but it certainly give you a better chance of winning. This way you'll eventually slowly climb the ladder, and once you're high enough you can actually start learning the gad damn game.

A lot of pro/ high elo players got good at the game/famous this way. See: Dyrus(Singed), Inverted Composer(Singed), HotshotGG(Nidalee), Wickd(Irelia), and many more.

Thanks for the advice! My favorite champion is Ahri! And I am pretty good with her! But... I have more favorite champions like Thresh, Zed, Soraka, Blitzcrank, but I'll try to play Ahri most often. Thank you very much!

This last week has been bad for me as well, but I took a couple days away from Ranked, and have just been playing normals practicing my champions. Honestly this last week for me i contribute completely to my bottom lanes, if they feed, which they have been... very hard, we just lose, if they dont, i can carry them. Its about evaluating yourself, and seeing how you are doing in lane or in teamfights, if you are performing rather well, perhaps its just time to pick a new champion that can carry games easier, or maybe its as simple as redoing runes and masteries. FYI, wasnt doing well with kha, but redid runes, masteries, build order, and out popped a 23-4-7 game where i carried hard. Sometimes its just a matter of stepping back and reevaluating how things are going, and i know thats silly, but looking at every game after it happens isnt going to do much for you, yes you can learn from mistakes but the true growth happens during the breaks, just take one and see what i mean.

The problem is that I play normal a lot, and I always ended up with high elo opponents, but I still try harder. But ya, I am trying to find most of my mistakes, and the ones I found was poor item build, bad decision making, and not being aggro enough. But working on it tho! :)
