Promos
I am interested to get other peoples opinions on this. I have 4 LOL accounts. 3 of which are in silver and one is unranked.
It seems to be that no matter how hard I try to be positive or a functioning member of the team, the game makes it impossible to climb. I have now gone through 2 sets of promos in an attempt to get back up to Silver 2, but both times I lost both games after getting the free win.
The common theme was that both games prior to my promos were a cakewalk, while my promo games were horiffic. I was either placed with a couple bronze players (not that they are all bad but these ones were) or my teammates just fed incredibly hard.
For example if you review my Thresh game with the first loss in promos from a day ago, you can see I was placed with a bronze draven and kayle as well as having my entire team feed. Not all bronze players are bad, however I don't think Bronze players should be placed in our promo games.
In my darius game I was stomping Kled top until I tped bot at leveo 5 for pressure. Now the Brand had already legitimately inted twice by lane by this time (overstayed to 2v1 lane) and fed the lulu. At this point we fought river and went to go for drag, hecarim goes flying away to try to get kills, brand sits afk bot lane farming, and I only had the inting talon and Kai Sa with me at drake. We pick up a couple trades, but with hecarim god knows where and brand afk we lose the fight as well as drag. Kai sa and I die, hecarim gets 2 picks then dies and brand as well as talon randomly push a 2v5 to lose drake and die to the Kled. At this point I have only died once and have one kill plus up in cs, however Kled now has 4 kills due to the inting so I proceed to get destroyed top. Needless to say it only went downhill from there.
The other games speak for themselves, I outjungled the 2 udyr games, but in the second game my team got too cocky and started dying unnecessarily (fiora and bot). The MF game I got a B4 mid against a smurf Irelia and my toplaner was 0/6 by 14 mins.
I will be entirely honest, I start out the games extremely positive, but get increasingly more tilted the more my teams decide not to listen or to chase. I have honestly no idea what else I can do to rank up because league is a team game and people refuse to understand that what you do in your lane effects the others. Players still only see "inting" as running it down mid, but in my opinion "inting" is continuing to fight in situations in which you know you are already down or at a disadvantage.
I play fill to avoid having people get lanes that they do not play or are not good at (yes people in silver play ranked without knowing how to play all lanes). What else can I do to help my team win?
