Please help! On huge skid.

Zombiephil·Jun 1, 2015·1 votes·171 views

Am I the only one who goes on skids as soon as school goes out? I lost 17 of 20 during spring break, then immediately followed up by winning 11 of 12 right after, and right now, I'm on an even worse skid. My win-loss was 51-49 in the final weeks of school, became 53-57 when school went out, and now I'm 65-81.

But can someone please go through my match history and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Yes, I did intentional feed 1-30-0 as Zed, and I apologize to the players' game I ruined. It was my first time intentional feeding, and I did it because I got way too pissed after my team threw back-to-back matches and then the team in that game flamed me in champion select. But please tell me what I am doing wrong in general in my other games (i.e. bad build, not enough fight presence, etc..) In general, I average going 4-5-14 in ranked.

Possible Problems: Problem 1: You are focused more on LP than you are actually winning the game. The thought of losing LP is worse than the actual thought of losing the game. Problem 2: Likely related to problem 1, You are on tilt, Go play some normals maybe with some friends. Have fun. Problem 3: You try to reason with your teammates who are angry. Chances are these players are not asking for reason, they are just complaining or pointing the finger which will not help you win the game. The moment you recognize a player who doesn't want to work with the team but rather destroy it for what its worth. Mute them. Problem 4: You rely too much on your team. Now this can be rather hard to understand. It stems from expectations of actions and champion selection. The one I'm going to point out is your love from Shen. He is a fun champion, I personally really like him. However, Shen rarely carries a game. Instead he enables other players on your team to carry.

These are just 4 things to consider.. they may not all apply to you, but it will give you something to think about.

Yes, kind of.
Yeah, get that a lot, I might do that.
Yes, I've had lots of trolls recently who just rage quit the game after an argument with a teammate.
Very True. Shen does depend on his team a lot. My second and third most played are Yi and J4, so I might play those instead. However, I just came out of a game where I went 3-10-29 as Shen supp and my team won, so I'm gonna continue with Shen until I go on another skid.

Thanks for your help!
