Trying your hardest in this game with very weighted failure in mind is outright upsetting.

Via a deleted post of mine from before, overall, via my constant struggles via several posts of mine, I've realized the moral of the story seems to be that trying to get good at this game through constant failures is just outright annoying, because the stuff surrounding the failures is something that is meant to rip on you as much as it's compelled to.

There's this supposedly huge level of responsibility you have to live up to, otherwise whenever you mess up just once, it's usually your teammates ripping on your shit as much as they can. Then the enemy team will join in.

It's funny how so many people say "you have to fail a few times to get good and even pros make mistakes", it doesn't help in that I know that I for myself am a VERY bad AND STUPID player. So if you've ever seen me and say to me "no offense, but you're bad", I already long knew that I'm very bad.

But yes, I have whined a lot indeed, and have been chat banned both on this account and on my new account NewYetOldName. I know very well that I'm far from those angelic players out there. I've been a bit smart on how I word my self-contempt and expectations of what my foes think of me, but failure in this kind of game is just one of the most frustrating things ever since it just has to impact everyone else around you, and create such horrible first impressions that takes YEARS to work on.

In my case, I've yet to learn shit like playing from behind whenever I feed my lane opponent via bad mechanics, trying to learn how to shake off fed Garen/Nasus/Yorick and shit like that from my towers for free, playing ranged champions like a god, trying to master unlocked screen, learning certain matchups, all in the shortest time possible.

And from there, it just seems stupid that I need as much skills as around a gold-to-diamond player in order to do better than bronze, only to rise up to ONE rank. Even if I ignore everyone via muting all chat, the fact remains that it's easy for a fool like me to understand that the games have gone south all because I messed up mechanically with no knowledge to fix it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to get ripped on. This overall just lowers my morale and causes me to get angry at people who tell me "just play the game" because I would argue with the fact that trying to make me do my job as mechanically perfect as possible is so far-fetched when I, a bronzie, screwed it up in the first place.

Almost like people forget that most pros also started out as bad as a dumbass like me. But hey, no one seems to care about that fact at all, cause they may be just as ignorant as I would be towards that to be unable to see it. And that seems to be the massive case with this game in general, and possibly from what I hear about reddit roasting almost ANYTHING bad about a League figurehead AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE (blame MagikarpUsedFly's vid about things he hates about League for that).

alright as one of the few people who probably read the entire post work for word id like to say as a toplane and jungle player (illaoi fiora warwick hecarim)

yes maybe you screwed up, and yes maybe you made the game go to crap playing in normals is a normal experience, spam games there, it dosent matter if you win or lose however in ranked people do get serious, you should honestly not be playing ranked if you know that you have insufficient game knowledge or mechanics, because people do get mad if you mess up. think of it like playing a team sport, basketball for example, would you be fine if youre in the playoffs and there is someone on your team who dosent know how to do a lay up or pass or dribble? no. would you get mad at em, yes

however remember this is a game, and that you play games to have fun. if at any point it is not fun for you, that is a good indication that it is a good time to stop, calm down, take a cold shower and see if you still want to play.

anyways relax and have fun

Welp, there's the problem pal, it's in the title, you're trying you're very hardest, but seriously don't, it's really taxing and frustrating on your mind and body if you do it for a long period of time, you should use you badness to your advantage, purposely play afk under turret hit the S button on keyboard for stop and bait the cocky, foolish person that thinks he beats you under turret and rekt him under it, say hold on I'm lagging, as you purposely miss all your skill shots except cc, baiting again with your jungler right there to gank you if they engaged close enough. I mean you can play a feed champ like singed/yas, all you have to do is farm enough to the point you can demolish them mid/late game while getting them to underestimate you, oh he's 0/11 worth literally like 10 g, not even a threat , gets rekt by them penta, they suprised sees you have 3000 (exaggeration) cs full build etc.

What you're trying to do is this, have the macro, the knowledge of a challenger player who knows every best way, worst outcomes possible determining the entire game to whatever they please, but that said challenger player has piss poor/none mechanics, very slow typing, reacting, just like he's using internet explorer /aol dial up to the land lord. everything he does is too slow so it's a lose since they just go 0/12. I read this post off somewhere about macro and micro, where as a gold player who has decent macro (only knows that destroying nexus wins the game)/lightning fast micro can go 12/0 and win the game due to the sheer difference in micro play in low tier but at higher tiers he'll always lose because the ideal situation is to master both,
