Is there a reason why I can win?

I've lost 25 of my last 30 games. WTF rito, can I get a competent team for once? It should not be entirely my burden to carry my team. Sure here and there I too have been the one to lose a game for the team, everyone has bad games, but definitely not for the majority. Is there some hidden mechanic that pairs you with worse and worse teammates as you lose more and more games in a row? I'm not talking about actual rankings, I mean people who individually have been doing poorly in their recent games.

Seriously, though please take this into your consideration as to how unbalanced solo queueing in this new dynamic queue is. When I am with a team and were all in a call, we win about 50% of the time. That is balanced, but when I go solo, I lose upwards of 85% of the time. Mostly due to bad communication or people won't listen to any suggestions or strategies that either me or some other player makes. So could we balance it around that. Idealy your goal to have a team oriented game is good, but realistically that is near impossible to achieve with this current design of the game.

Suggestions:

1.) solo queue (not even duos allowed) 2.) fresh meat queue (never have been ranked before in previous seasons or have just recently hit level 30) accounts would be restricted from using the "normal queue options" until they have played 50-100 ranked games 3.) an in game voice communication system (with mute options) 4.) an in game tooltip option to display common counter picks or bad match ups for each champion that have been unanimously decided upon by the community.

There's no hidden mechanic that pairs you with worse teammates, it just sounds like you're tilting. Take a break, do something else for a while. As for why you're losing, my guess would probably be those suggestions or strategies you mentioned? Even if you have the best intentions, if you manage to put people on edge, they're going to play worse. Here's something to try: For a game or two, use the /muteall feature. Don't worry about how other people are playing, pretend they're all bots and just focus on your own game. It may or may not work for you, but I find that's something that helps me a lot.

I'm sorry if I sounded rude at all or if I was assuming too much, I hope I manage to help though! Good luck with your games in future, and have fun ^^

You suggestions answered below by a skilled player :) Plat 5 scrub in the top 7% (6.7%) of players on NA

  1. Already being worked on, no release date cause riot doesn't like "X has to be out by Y"
  2. No need for this. Just cause they just hit 30 doesn't mean they know nothing. I've seen some good fresh level 30s (and what do you mean restricted from normal queue options? Not everyone likes to play ranked so don't force ranked onto those who don't wish to play it?
  3. They tried a test of this and stated that toxicity increase by over 200% or some oddly high number even with a mute munction i think. Just use curse/Discord and invite them to the chat. if they wish to join they can.
  4. No need to give "counter picks/ bad match-ups" since you should just learn these in general. Also just cause you "counter" them doesnt mean you'll win lane if you don't know how the champion workls so no need for that period. Just use an outside source were people vote on counters or use statistics if you care so much for it.

I bet in the last 10 of these 30 lost games, you were playing bad after first blood for enemy "Here we go again, we loose"

  1. Play the stupid OP champions. Stuff like Twitch Galio Sejuani isn't going to bring too much success in an environment where people are playingUdyr XinZhao Ezreal

  2. Work on your CS

  3. Go back to playing summoner 12 summoner 14 Yorick because apparently that was working for you.

If you've lost 25 of the last 30 games, the problem isn't necessarily the team, it's you.
