How League is losing players

dEAdbUs··4 votes·2,528 views

So not long time ago I met one player in rankeds. It was his first ranked game ever. I'm playing since S2, so I was happy to see a new player and help him. So I played with him like 3-4 rankeds, can't say he was best player, but he was trying his best listening to all advice. However we lost all our games. He showed me his champions pool and asked if Jax worth to main? I said "no" - Jax isn't in his best position for long time. But to cheer him after lose streak I called him to play normal. He get toplane and picked Jax. His enemy was Yasuo.

And Yasuo started to killing my friend non-stop. Just farming him like a minion. I tried to help him, but Yasuo was outplaying us like a god. Like we are all newbies - this slippery monster always was dashing or having shield or knocking us up. He died only when there were 4 of us already. But at this point my friend was 1-9, Yasuo 13-3, so we decided to surrender. My team reported Jax for feeding. I was trying to cheer my friend after lose streak in rankeds, but all he get is shamful lose and reports from teammates. As result my friends said that he didn't have any good game in last 4 days and probably will uninstall LoL.

Now pls tell me isn't League is goind really too hardcore? Yasuo was Silver 3. I can't even then image what Diamond Yasuo can do. Plus I can't get where are this MMR ELO mechanics that have to give my friend enemies of his level or at least less hard, because he's getting lose after lose. Plus this community - all what people can do here is just blame each other. I guess in last years game became too stressful and too dependant on FOTM picks, and this all this makes LoL much less fun than if should be.

Help newbies, guys.

I agree, if they want us to bring our friends in the game, we can't really do that without bringing in higher elo players, and their best bet is to play alone? Or just rack up a shitload of normals before jumping into ranked.

"Hey buddy wanna play this game with me? Oh wait, you gotta spend some months getting to level 30... Hey, u level 30 now? Oh wait, you gotta have more champions... Hey, you got the cheap bunch? Oh wait, you need a main, go back to normals and get some champ masteries for a few more months." So nice to play with friends! NOT.

Ranked in general, I don't like. Stick to Normals, and you'll have fun at the expense of wins. In Ranked, you do anything to win at the expense of fun.

here is why peopel lose in ranked more ofeten then not..... play lanes they never do or suck at and they just want to say adc even though they lose 90% of the time they adc but win nonstop as a supp or jungler ........ or they pick champs they never use or do no tknow how to use they pick it becuase it coutners the otehr champ.....

Cool story bro. I had 75% winrate on Taric and then Riot reworked him. It was nice! I get so huge winrate drop, was insanely happy for that.

khorney1 votes

this is why i havent played taric since his rework.... i despise it. All they needed to do was make his ult some sort of cc, but now he cant solo lane

Sadly Normals aren't working anymore. People are not trying to play unusual stuff there! Only same FOTM picks. I picked Malph for jungle and on lev 2 I was ganked by 3 lev Kha. After FB he was babysitting me non-stop. This game wasn't fun for me, because I was literally spending it on base ressurecting non-stop. So what's then? Does that mean I can't play Malph jung anymore even if I like it because enemies will always abuse it? Game is fun when you can play it as you want, not the way you have to.

I know how to play Heimerdinger, and have 800 games with him, but it doesn't matter, because Heimer forgotten by Riots and even hardcore mainers have 48-49% winrate with him. So nope, knowledge of how to play doesn't always help, sometimes it's just game that have favor for some champions and nothing for the rest.

ImaQtpie plays Heimer mid in Challenger and can actually win games with him.

Its not all about knowing that one champ. Its about knowing the game as a whole.

And how often he plays him in challenger? In my country we say "even stick can shots once in a year." I'm pretty sure Faker can win one game or even two with Heimer, but as Riot said game is balanced for Plat tier not for Faker tier. So, bro, numbers don't lie.

What about knowledge... I'm playing since S2, was Plat in S4. Tell me I don't know game.

The game is not balanced for plat. They take statistics from Plat, Diamond and Challenger. So yes, the game is somewhat balanced for ''Faker tier'' or whatever you call it.

Ye enjoy numbers then from your tiers. 0.5% pickrate 50% winrate (Riot mentioned Heimer is balanced around 55% due to his low playerbase made of hardcore mainers).

generally if yasuo gets that fed, expect him to be a major problem

if he starts stacking lifesteal very early, it can be a major problem

Nowadays Yasous get PD first item.

Papa Slothy1 votes

no, I mean like if he gets so fed he reaches his 3rd-4th Item (your lifesteal item) early on it can make him a crazy strong duelist (he could also go BoTRK second item for other boots)

Yeah shit like that happens. it sucks. But hey, that is why we constantly hint people NOT to play ranked games right after hitting lvl 30.

People who do this usually end up in bronze or low silver, and that just discourages them. The current rank-cast social system in league makes it seem like a shameful thing to be in Bronze or Silver, when in fact its only meant as a skill indicator rather than a source of frustration or flame.
