statistically, as long as you are not a troll or leaver, it is a 5 to 4 ratio of bad teammates and trolls. just wanted to remind people of this, dont blame bad teammates for being stuck in bronze/silver/"elo hell"

EDIT: apparently people have misunderstood me. im not saying its your fault for losing every game. some games your team is just too heavy or bad. HOWEVER, i am saying that as long as you are not a troll, it is more likely for the troll to be on the enemies team. THEREFORE, you will climb even if you are a mediocre player if there are trolls, simply because you arent one. if there are no trolls, well, then its your fault.

Yes I can. I can blame whoever I want, hell I think it's Obama fault I can't climb. Thankfully Trump will build a wall to keep out the feeders.

Not true, not true at all.

You have a percentage of the blame i would agree. I agree 100% that you have atleast a 30 percent blame. However, statistically you cannot win a game if you are the only one doing good. For instance, my last game i was lux and i did ok, but the whole team fed. Nothing i could do, did what i could but it was over from 3min in LOL. Besides, i think you misunderstand the actual issue here.

The actual issue is characterized by the teammates you receive in autofill and boosted players. I cannot prove but i know for a fact that either my teammates were boosted to my elo, or the enemy team was boosting out of it, because something seemed off by the way they were playing.

If you are not helping the team win the game, you are hurting the team. If you are a top laner dieing to a Darius (Insert random champ here) and your Jg in worthless. The odds of you being able to win is SEVERLY LOW.

So yes, if i do bad i blame myself, if i do good and try to help other lanes im going to blame the baddies on my team.

Ha is right, you never blame your teammates, always blame yourself, if you were good enough to climb you would

Technically I could blame the alignment of the stars if I wanted to. Blame is placed by the human mind. It doesn't have to be true. :^)

Bottom line is if you are good enough to be in gold/plat/diamond etc you will be in those leagues.

If you are in silver/bronze it's because you aren't good enough to climb out of there. Sure some games are beyond your control and won't be your fault for losing but if you deserve to climb you will climb.
