And while having teammates that are human garbage is a major factor, I (primarily) blame myself.
If I had focused more, performed better, I would have been able to carry every single match.... but I didn't. This is what separates Diamond Pride from Bronze Chaos, the ability to reflect on one's performance and make adjustments as necessary. I will recover from this horrendous slump but not before I learn from my mistakes.

Maybe few seasons back...
Ahristocats2 votesthat is simply being stoic and try to not care about what you can't control, what i suggest is continue to play despite losing
went from 120 lp yesterday to 3 lp today by massive lose streak+unfortunate client crash, but i don't care about it and i continue to play to climb
Kyoia1 votesI take it you were also not autofilled, or main ADC.
Ahristocats2 votesor main ADC.

??? main role adc, secondary role top adc is the most overpowered role in high elo after jungle
Kyoia1 votesApparently only if you're playing a lethality adc. The REAL ADC's have a sub 50 winrate right now
vOmvbrawfU1 votesNo, ADCs are perfectly fine at ELOs where people actually peel for them.
Ahristocats1 votescough cait
vOmvbrawfU1 voteswut?
Ahristocats1 voteslook at cait win rate, don't tell me that only lethality adc are good right now
look at ezreal and twitch too
vOmvbrawfU1 votesYou might have replied to the wrong comment lol. I never said only lethality ADCs were good.
Kyoia1 votesAs an ADC main stuck in bronze right now this is probably why im not getting out until I start playing mid

Packun Flower1 votesThe best thing to deal with losing streaks is to just stop playing for a day or 2.
BluePolarizer1 votesTry losing 15 games in a row lol. It's OK though, just keep powering through.
Moetaro1 votesNah, maybe you could have fixed one or two games at most and with tons of luck, but once the game decides you're going to lose, oh boy, you will lose. Look at your teammates stats, that's uncarriable.
After this streak it will come a savage winning streak, that's how the game works. After this hell of a streak, you will get such garbage oponents and such good teammates that you wont lose even if you manage to feed your ass off every single game.
This game is garbage, illusion of competition when it's actually pure GRIND. Or at least 99% GRIND 1% skill.
Dominick Destine1 votesLook at your teammates stats, that's uncarriable.
I'd say the pieces of trash I was forced to play with were carriable but I just needed to be better.
I've soloed up to Diamond Pride multiple seasons, if I have done it before I can do it again.... I must be doing something terribly wrong this season.
Moetaro1 votesThis season is not as easy to carry a game with a big feeder in it as it was in previous seasons. The snowballing is insane.

This is what separates Diamond Pride from Bronze Chaos.
You think Diamond 5 is something to be proud of ? Diamond 5 is noob just like Bronze. Diamond 2 is where people actually start getting good.
Dominick Destine1 votesYou think Diamond
Yes.
Diamond Pride.
Diamond 2 is where people actually start getting good.
Your petty nonsense means nothing to me. Diamond Pride will always be Diamond Pride.
FioraWillCarry1 votesI too take pride in being a noob. Guess we have that in common mate.
Dominick Destine1 votesI too take pride in being a noob. Guess we have that in common mate.
In the same way that Challenger God is not the same as Diamond Pride.
Diamond Pride is completely different from Bronze Chaos.
vOmvbrawfU1 votesIf I had focused more, performed better, I would have been able to carry every single match
False. That's not pride, that's just arrogance.
You can still learn from your mistakes and improve your play, but at the same time acknowledge that it's not your fault you lost. I'm quite confused as to why some people cannot grasp this concept.

Bullshit.
If one tries to evade responsibility , one will never grow, one will never improve. That is what boards fail to understand.
vOmvbrawfU2 votesLink me your match history where you had a feeding top laner and an AFK jg and still won 4v5.

I've won those matches before, just not recently.
Recently I have under-performed and that's my point, I could do better and I didn't. It's the opposite of dunning kruger effect which I'm sure has a name but I don't know it at tihs time.
TyrekGoldenspear1 votesIs this why you're plat now?
Dominick Destine2 votesIs this why you're plat now?
No, that was due to rank compression.
I started at Gold Mediocrity, then entered Plat Adequacy and was making my way to Diamond Pride but I hit the absolute worst losing streaking I've ever had by an enormous margin.
TyrekGoldenspear1 votesOuch. Tough dude.
Just asking, do you have labels for the other ranks? Please don't be too harsh on Silver.
Dominick Destine2 votesOuch. Tough dude.
You have no idea, I have been staying up late past my proverbial bed time and showing up to work all tired because I keep thinking "There's no way I can lose EVERY game today [so let's play another]" and yet I do. My performance isn't even bad it's just not good enough to carry..... and often times my teammates HARD feed so it's very frustrating.
https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Dominick%20Destine If you really want to see a depressing story, look at the details of each match and know that every one of my teammates was pure distilled human garbage.
Just asking, do you have labels for the other ranks? Please don't be too harsh on Silver.
Well, there is no official label for the different brackets beyond the metallurgic title but for personal amusement I have the following titles;
The terms I used the most, to the point where Ariel the Cruel once made a joke about how my insane dick waving was so over-the-top that it is a practically a parody of everyone else's elitism or at least indistinguishable from a parody of them.... and I love that, errrmm anyway the terms I use the most are Diamond Pride and Bronze Chaos.
TyrekGoldenspear1 votesI see.
Well, I guess being a Terror isn't too bad.
At least I have the mmr of mediocrity...
As for your climb, I only wish you luck out of your losing streak.

Right, and I suppose you also consider yourself to have an outlandishly high impact on how well your team does. Fact is, you're only 20% of a team, carrying really only is a thing if you're far above the nine other players in skill, and ripping into yourself only really works if your performance has suffered.
My review of your performance is thus: you've only had one game in your history that you really did poorly in, about 3 mediocre and the rest above average. This suggests--and is supported by looking at your teammates--that your luck with teammates has been abysmal. (Which is roughly my ranked experience with teammates as well)
The only advice I can give is thus: stick to support--your ratios are rather impressive there--and maybe diversify in the jungle a bit. On the teammate side, there's no cure for idiots (or riot's balance team) but try to encourage communication, even just making sure they ping more.
Apart from that, yeah it sucks. Just be glad you aren't like me; packed in with true examples of stupidity in bronze.

If one is skilled enough, that "20%" is increased in influence hence the basic concept of "Carrying your team".

That's true but I used to be able to carry even worse players, I've been playing Evelynn and carrying matches since season 2. My point is, I could have done better... but I VERY much appreciate that you acknowledge that my teammates were garbage.

I.... uhhh.... yes... thanks...

This is very awkward. It's so much more comfortable and easy to respond to harsh criticism and insults than kind/friendly words. That just cuts through me like a scythe.
SarcasticShepard1 votesI guess "Kill 'em with kindness" has some truth to it after all.
nawillzonny1 votesGreetings. I am looking for a capable duo partner, and seeing that the previous seasons you achieved Diamond, I request to duo with you. Even though I'm only a p3 scrub, I hope that we can get Diamond together.
