What is wrong with this game?

Keca··3 votes·681 views

Hey Summoners,

I just want to ask a serious question. What is wrong with ranked, or with matchmaking in general? I literally played 15 ranked games as a support, and i lost 12 of them. Just to mention 2 of my later matches. 2/20 yasuo on toplane, and our midlane lost too, we won botlane. Next game 1/6 irelia toplane, 1/8 tf midlane, we were even in botlane. And after they are feeding two lanes, and the jungler, they easily kill in teamfights, and i end up at 7-8 deaths too. Tf even went afk. Even we could be all good, and we almost have a good fight on bot, they are all teleporting and we lose it. Are they premade? Is it the dynamic queue? Is it me?

Just a little background of me: I'm constantly in plat, i could go higher easily last season, because i was Plat I, and I've won most of my games (my mmr was really high), I just don't have the time to play much, and I don't care really. But this season, I'm plat V, and I'm pretty sure I will fall back to Gold I in a couple of matches. I simply can't win, and I don't know why. Of course i have bad games, i make mistakes, I'm a human being too, and of course I'm not the best player in the world, the enemy can just play better, this is how it works. I always admit if i screw up, but as far as I can tell it is the other team member who screw up much more then me.

Maybe I'm just bad, maybe I doesn't belong in plat, even though I'm very easily here for four seasons now. This is the only season I struggle so hard, and I just don't get why.

I'm on EUNE btw, if you wanna check me.

Without looking at match history or your personal stats, but maybe your MMR is just bad. When your MMR is bad basically you lose more LP than you gain for wins, at this point you should hop onto the trio queue dynamic dick and fix your MMR. I'm not saying get friends to carry you, but get friends you can play with that wont feed, and wont make the game un winnable. When you have bad MMR and you "solo queue" you get matched with teammates that are more often than not, worse than the other team, this is just how the system works. To explain that better, lets say you are Gold 3. You lose 20 LP for losses and gain 15 for wins. rough numbers, means your MMR is probably that of a low gold or high silver. Meaning your teammates will be high silver or low gold, but your rank is Gold 3, so to even it out the other team will be gold4-gold2, roughly to even out the MMR differences from both teams. basically what that means is your team will have a bigger variety in ranks, and the other team will be more averaged. When you trio queue like i mentioned, you will have a more averaged team, and the other team will be averaged or more diverse, meaning they have the bad MMR "solo queue" player. I bet this is all confusing, but if you want to try and fix your MMR, if that is your problem, find an ADC at your rank, and a Jungler or mid at your rank, and trio queue until you notice yourself winning the same about of LP as you lose, and then it's safe to say "solo queue" wont get you fucked again, and your games will be high quality without the good 'ol 2/20 Yasuo top. HOPE THIS HELPED, Sorry if not and you don't understand

I totally understand this, but there is one problem. My mmr is high. I went 3/7 on my placements and still got Plat. Last season on Plat I, I lost 15 LP on a lose, and got 27-29 LP on a win. I just didn't have the time to play more, and go highter. Now I lose 15 LP, and a win rewards 25 LP. This is why I don't think it's my mmr.

There was games when all lanes won except top. The enemy top riven god so fed, we couldn't take her down, even if we all won our lanes, just not as hard as her. She had GA, and a Zilean. I always feel like, we don't have the coordination as a team.

I don't know what's up, but last seasons went so much better.

Sounds like elo hell to me. You cant win despite your play and your MMR, you are probably better than the people in your game, but support is harder to carry from if you are truly better than the other players. Support's can still carry nonetheless. Like i mentioned, if top is the problem try to duo or trio with a top that will let you get to mid game without being down 10k gold. Best of luck my friend! P.S. Don't fall into the trap that nothing is your fault! Always look to grind out mistakes you have, and fix them one by one, eventually better a better player than you were previously. If YOU are actually better, you WILL climb, takes time though.

i always admit my mistakes, even for the team. If I screwed up a game, I always tell them that I'm sorry for this game. I was "that" guy back then, who just simply can't admit his problems, and blamed others. Maybe it looks like I blame others from these posts, but 2/20 is just absurd....

I stopped being "that" guy, and started to play better, be better.

Good. Good luck in your games, you sound like someone who deserves to climb, and if you put the work it will happen friend :D

Also not firing shots but your match history recently has games where you die a lot, maybe playing your next 20ish games with the goal of dying under 5 times? If you play several games with the goal of fixing a single mistake, and do this for multiple mistakes you will improve as a player, faster.

Keca1 votes

Yeah, I mentioned this too. I don't die much early, if i die 1-2 times, I try to play safe until jungler arrives to help, so we can catch back up. The other deaths comes at the 25-30 minutes mark, when teamfights start. I tried to hook enemies as thresh, we catch and kill one, then we all die in 4v5, no matter how much I cc down. And thats where most of my deaths come.

Connoriam1 votes

Sounds rough, but you might have the typical support problem of dying to save your team, when you cant actually save them, this might not be it though, but lots of supports die a lot saving their teammates, which isn't a bad mentality or playstyle, but they try too often whether or not they really can, and they die too because of it. When a team fight is going really poorly, and everything is on cooldown, you shouldn't stay auto attacking, unless you have a chance to make a difference in the fight, if you cant do anything then back out , and avoid the death rather than stay longer than necessary and die aswell. Once again I can't really figure out your problem from what I've seen, so these are just general solutions to problems you might have based on what you've said. I used to have the problem of saving my team when I couldn't and it can be hard to fix so just be patient with your mistakes and grind them away one by one. :D

Yep I always try to save my team, it's better if i die, then them. But they don't even try to escape if I die for them. If i get out, and don't die, they blame, if I die for them, they blame. If a jungler ganks, and we only get a flash, he starts blaming us. Everyone blames everyone, and it's much worse then it used to be.

Anyway thanks for trying to help, I guess, I'll just try my best :)

Yea, that's the problem with league right now. I try to have the mentality that I don't care about who my team blames, and I look at what i messed up and if i could fix it. You're welcome, goodluck with your climb

It's allot worse for you than it is for me (since you're higher in rank), however "dynamic boosting" likely played a large part as well as the fact that ranked is just norms with bans now. I know that already exists on other servers, but on oce we don't have the population to support a normal draft queue.

As now players aren't getting boosted out of bronze to flood silver/gold. They're taking it all the way to plat/diamond. Proof? My mates been bronze from the get go (3 years, he's just here for fun), so he trio queues with 2 of my other mates who duo'd to plat (gold IV/S2 last season) and he got to plat within a month. He dropped down to gold once he started soloing. But despite this he still hasn't dropped down into silver, he wins just enough to hold the line between gold V and Silver 1.

That yasuo, irelia and TF. I'd say definitely boosted. Because that's the kind of feed you'd get from me as GP against yasuo/irelia, or TF vs zed/azir.

"They are all teleporting" That's the power of pre-mades for you. Had a game that still makes me salty when I think of it (I made allot of big mistakes, no doubt) but lee killed me at my first red.... then his entire team (Irelia, lee, tf, jhin, leo) reigned supreme in the vision war in my own jungle. Lee got green smite first, a sweeper and morg did the same with sight stone and pinks. I couldn't farm, gank, fight... I couldn't do anything. All I could do was die, again and again.

Now then, undoubtedly you belong in plat, if you put in the time and effort to get there and sustain your rank, you belong and deserve to be there. However this stupid "well that team has a plat pre made, so let's make em vs 5 diamonds" is absurd. Because if that premade is boosted, instant loss for the solo queue player. If they're legit, then you have a legit full plat 1 team with coms going against 5 randoms of a higher rank.

So to answer your questions, it is the fact that this mix of legit/boosted pre mades ruins game quality in higher leagues, it is dynamic queue and it most certainly, is not you. Sad to hear that this season has gone so crap for you bra, GLHF.

Thank you for these words. Of course, I make mistakes too, I play bad, I lose lane to a better enemy, but after that, I always play safe. There are games which I lost because of myself, i admit that. But lost of the time, the enemy is so coordinated I feel like going solo in ranked just a lost cause. I don't say it's the dynamic queue, and I always play against premades, but most of the time, they are much more coordinated. :(

Luck of the draw? I don know. I find I win/loose on a wave-like pattern. Had a huge winning streak 18/3 W/L with awesome team after awesome team, then boom 3/9 W/L. Maybe you're just goin through a rough patch?

What's wrong with this game is simple:

It's 糞ゲー. It's literally such a bad game that the only reason to play it is to laugh at how bad it's become. This is just another side effect of League's 糞ゲー status, if you ask me. Riot puts too much money into their precious "pro" scene and not enough into their game. This has lead to the deterioration of the game over the last four years.

lol. you think you have it bad?

I've had, in 2 days:

shen feeding darius 13 kills. he gets FB'ed and instead of stopping the bleeding and playing carefully, he DIVES WITH E and hits Darius, dealing zero damage of course but getting chunked heavily.

maokai feeding darius 8 kills.

top laner role trolls because he didn't get his role, so instalocks Varus. surprise surprise, he feeds like crazy, singlehandedly snowballing the game to a point where even a fed Master Yi and Taliyah could not carry him.

junglers who literally cannot land an AOE ult.

immobile ADCs who think it's a great idea to solo farm bot at 40 minutes with an enemy Rengar.

immobile ADCs who think they can melee mode Udyr.

and much more.

I ended last season plat 1. This season I'm constantly fluctuating around plat 3.
