Play your best, most comfortable champion(s) at all times.

Sincerely, the guy who is losing many games because you are playing your 30% win rate champions.

lol depending on your team is generally not a good idea xD

inb4: (but its a team game)

Team comps and individual player skill levels are important.

Uninstall is the only way out unless you want to pay for a boost. Elo hell is real and riot denies it to this very second.

I have uninstalled many times but I came back. I also took many long breaks from league, but my ego prevents me from quitting entirely. I'll retire when I hit Challenger, if ever lol. League is a great game all in all.

I believe in the concept of elo hell. It's just a different way of saying that you are a victim of unfortunate matchmaking.

Based on Real Experience, Example: I had a Shen top lane on my team that outright said it was his first time playing Shen ever and he needed to practice to which I responded "practice is for normal mode games". I was fucking appalled. He fed and he complained and hasn't played Shen top since. And then the next game I have a GP one trick holding champ select hostage because he got auto-filled to support. Somehow GP is now playing jungle, and support and jungle swap roles. And now we have a losing team. And then the next game something unfortunate happens again, and so on.

^ Not really complaining, just acknowledging what actually happened.

If you're actually around the skill range of the people involved, you will actually stay around that elo. That signifies that you are not single-handedly being the dominant force in your games for whatever reason, and most times it has to do with skill rather than teammates.

You went first time Anivia in ranked and didn't even play her in ranked YEARS AGO and want to complain about teammates? Your best character is Xerath and you suddenly stop playing him for that game despite him not being banned? Why? You have a 67% win rate and would still be climbing with him like you already did out of Silver II 4 days ago.

Or maybe this is a PSA to yourself? Lol. There's literally no point in focusing on teammates because you can't control who you get.

I only just started playing ranked this season a few days ago, so chill. I could've been diamond in my first season of League but I got banned multiple times for toxicity throughout the last 3-4 months of the season which prevented me from playing on my account. Last season I refused to play much because of Dynamic Queue. Talk is cheap though.

But yeah, you're right. I should be playing Xerath mid. My ego took a hit when I single-handedly lost my most recent Xerath game because of packet loss and ping spikes. Actually, most of my recent Xerath games have been really laggy at 30-40 minute and onwards. I felt as though playing Xerath, knowing that I would experience the packet loss and ping spikes, would be a burden for my teammates so I have been avoiding playing Xerath. I have not been experiencing the same packet loss and ping spikes on other champions.

And yeah, maybe this is a PSA to myself.

Thank you for keeping me in check.

It feels really suspect to say you stopped playing Xerath due to ping spikes, because scripting creates the same problems. I do not typically find many Xerath players that are actually legitimate.

Whatever happens good luck.

I am most definitely not scripting. I just played a game with Xerath and it was around upper 20 minutes I started to lag. I have a thread about it. Also the Blitzcrank game before it I had packet loss and ping spikes. Really weird.

I would like to think that I am like The Flash playing League or Bradley Cooper on NZT-48 in Limitless haha, but that's not the case. The lag is really bothering me and it's making my games unenjoyably more difficult.

I don't know. I have about 4 or 5 junglers in my comfort zone, and they cover an array of team comp positions. I'd assume most jungle mains can fill multiple niches if they had to.

arcinexFeb 28, 20171 votes

Having 4 or 5 junglers in your comfort zone is good. Playing a jungler outside of your comfort zone for whatever reason is not good.
