Keep Calm and Play On

Top/Support main here. So far this pre-season I've played a bunch of champs in these roles, some of which I haven't played in months, and have not lost a game in a few days. Even if my ADC feeds, even if Yas/Trynd are on the enemy team, even if someone on my team DC's or doesn't have new masteries, even if I play a mid/late game champion, we communicate and fight to our strengths. I've helped turn games we were behind in and played a 50+ minute game to victory after multiple 3/2 surrender votes on my team. Yes things are a bit unstable right now and some aspects of the game need tuning, but my experience these past few days has been very positive playing as tanks, bruisers, sustain and tanky supports, and dabbling in DPS champs too. I'm really enjoying playing different champs well and learning new build paths and vision changes.

TL;DR keep trying new things and play smart from behind, and more than anything encourage others even when they make mistakes. Even in this snowbally preseason you can make a comeback. Riot will make adjustments on initial over/undertuned changes. And you can use this time to improve your metagame skills a lot right now.

only in low elo. Last season I turned around multiple 4v5s in plat. It's ridiculous how untrue it is. After finding out my main is near unplayable and my role is now limited to elise and lee sin, I'm just not playing anymore.

Lucky you, I've won 5/20 games since preseason.

So many people want to surrender 5 min in right now. I don't get it at all. Most of the time we've come back and won, but you can't comeback if you FF.
