Why is climbing so hard???????

truckk·7/27/2019, 9:22:01 PM·8 votes·5,727 views

I am currently Silver 4 with a 50% winrate (after being demoted from last game because my game wouldnt start and it took 5 minutes for me to restart my computer and start league up again, which my team decided to remake).It takes me 20+ games (which is an entire day worth of games) to get close to a promotion. But after 5 losses, im demoted. Can't they change the LP gains? I remember seeing when they said it was easier to climb ranked. I started ranked a few weeks ago and ive been hardstuck silver for the past 3 weeks. It is so annoying when i get teammates who feed, flame, or leave(some do all 3). Why is climbing so hard? I try farming and when i have good farm, life's good. But at the same time, i have 1/6 vayne bot. When i have a good KDA like 8/2, lifes good. Once again at the same time, i have a 2/10 Lee sin. I try doing some damage and know when to back off when my lane opponent is going in for some damage. Now i know why its called "Elo Hell" [zombie-brand-facepalm]

it should be hard to climb. Climbing isn't just grinding games, climbing is improving at the game. If all you're doing is playing and hoping you rank up, you're not going about it the right way at all, and you're just going to be frustrated because you never see any results.

I see you play solo lane Neeko but your CS numbers are terrible. You are probably just a Silver 4 level player. Its difficult for you to climb because its where you belong.

Real reason: The game forces 50% winrate by giving each team a 50% chance of winning (it places people based off of their rank + winrate). This is an undeniable fact, as riot themselves have confirmed this. This does not make climbing impossible, it just forces you to play extra games.

It's difficult because you first need to "git gud" before you can climb. If you're hardstuck silver and want to climb you need to play like a gold (or higher) player to do so. Remember, pro players get to Diamond without losing any games, this means you cannot blame your teammates if you lose a game because better players have already proven that every game can be won if you're personally good enough and always make the correct plays. Losing a game means you could have done better and you still have room to improve.

Because you're facing other people who, presumably, are trying to win as well

Anyway, with a 50% win rate, you're exactly where you're supposed to be with your skill level and champion pool.

You probably aren't picking the most overpowered champions and playing them 30% of well.

To make you play more, of course. Doesn't sound legal, but no one checks apparently..

I got to Plat on another account with 16 LP per win, and 18 LP per loss, from Silver 3, within a month or two. It's possible my dude, the key is consistency.

Your teammates will ALWAYS suck, it's just a matter how how well you can deal with that and push past it.

3 weeks in silver isnt hard stuck lol, you're not even close, Do you expect to go from silver to plat in a matter of days?

Now, your actual GAMES, lets look at them, almost every game you lose, your score is bad just to point out a few:

2-11 on , the against you was 30-7!!
Another game on neeko - 6-13. your bot was actually winning with being 12-7 and doing the most damage in the game, but i guess when bot wins and you feed you dont mention it because insert reason why it wasnt your fault
2-5 Neeko top vs singed, the Singed had double your farm while you were at 104 CS at 34 minutes.
1-7 Neeko top vs Mundo, 94 CS at 25 minutes

These are all recent losses, from 1 to 2 days ago, even some games where you are winning you have some of the lowest damage/cs in your team, actually, on games you DO pop off - you usually win.

So, im confused, what rank do you think you deserve? You dont CS well, you take the same pick regardless of match with the same build, your scores are ranging from medicore to bad, with the occasional pop off game AND you face mostly bronze enemies. Just because you grind doesnt mean you are gonna climb, you grind to get better from experience which you translate to better winrate or AT LEAST better scores, you're not there yet.

Not saying this in a bad way because it's perfectly fine, but you seem like an averege silver player as it is right now.

After being coerced to play 2 rank games, I have so much respect to those who do. It's not easy. Everyone wants to win all the time and boy, the toxic level is unbearable. All the best man.

One thing ik if you get demoted or playing bunch of games win/lost thing back and forth lp gains are preety much screwed until you get promoted. Advice would be play normals cool off pick new champs or new builds. Aram only good for one thing clown fiestas
