EDIT just got ANOTHER S+ loss http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2143079867/223874229 4v5 Lag Teammates combining for 5/28 at 20 minutes. Intentional feeders.
What is a soloQer to do?
Both my accounts are absolutely plagued with losses recently. It isn't even slightly fun.
EDIT: I have taken to just shit talking my team as soon as champ select starts. It literally doesn't matter if I win all three lanes. Someone just leaves.
I just feel like Riot really hates some of the player base, maybe players that don't spend enough money ($200 probably isn't enough) and flags their accounts and matches them up with feeders and afker's and trolls.
Welcome to Season 6. Where we're all hoping that S7 will be better.
I've noticed three ways to win in low elo.
You and at least one other person has to be doing really good. Meaning, you need to be ahead of your enemy laner. That way you can still carry your sorry jungler, etc that went 0/8 in less than 15 minutes.
Or you have to pick a champ that can easily roam and gank. Forget staying in your lane and defending your tower at all times. If you're ahead, that's great and all, but go to other lanes. Start getting fed. Forget your jungler. More than likely your jungler is crap, and you'll also hit 6 faster than your jungler anyway. Proceed to get so fed that you can carry the game. Important to note is to NOT DIE. If your kda is like 14/10/3, you've accomplished nothing. You gave up as much as you've gained.
If you're the jungler, focus on the lane that is doing the best. Forget the lanes that are losing. Tell them to let their tower fall if need be. a) You can focus snowballing the lanes that are doing decently or well. b) Camp the hell out of a single lane to where not only are you getting fed, but you're seriously tilting that laner. Then you just snowball to win from there.
Obviously, the first way is the easiest, and best way, but lets face it; How many times are you going to see someone do just as well as you? Even so though, some times your team can be so worthless that you can't carry the game.
Edit: There are more ways, but these are probably the most common ones that I can think of. Of course I wouldn't recommend being the ADC. ADC can hardly carry anything. Supports can snowball the entire team though at times.
The problem is the feeling of disconnect between actually playing well and winning.
I've have games where I've stomped hard in lane, got fed and lost because someone decides to troll unless we surrender, equally I've played like total garbage and still won because one of the enemies dc's and and we grind down objectives because they can't win teamfights 4v5
We just suck, right guys? We just got outplayed.
See my post, I just lost 10 games in a row. This is BS i lose this much to trash players. Teamates literally are bots that can't even hold a lane.
Alot of games are for me. I get absolute trash teams almost every single game. I can carry alot of them, but I have to wonder how high I could climb if I got a decent team every once in a while.
Yeah feeders are problem. The game just feels too unbalanced to me right now. I feel like 1/4 of all the champions are god tier and if you don't jump on the champion abuse bandwagon you can forget about a positive ratio. I don't know what they should do tbh. There's so many champions unbalanced right now by either being overpowered or highly underpowered that I can't even count them on my fingers.
I reckon to your opponents the game feels unloseable :)
It's the MMR I went on a losing streak then BAM played a match that felt like coop vs AI...
Although I don't think it's as bad as this thread is making it out, and I hate that I won't see solo queue until next season more than likely, I would really love to see a new percentage based LP system. I don't think the 5/9/2 Riven deserves the same percentage of LP gain as the 12/4/7 Malzahar on a win, as well as I don't think the 1/3/18 Janna deserves the same percentage LP loss as the 4/9/3 Jinx on a loss. I'd love to see a system where a win and loss have minimal loss/gains and things such as deaths, assists, kills, tower assists, dragons, and barons contributed to your lost or gained LP.
I'm so close to quitting league right now because no matter what I do anymore i get fucked. I can't take it anymore. I don't mind losing a few games, but it's every single fucking game anymore.
I haven't played more than 3 Ranked games this season due to Dynamic Queue being garbage. Though my winrate in Normals dropped from about a 70% to around a 45% with the new season. Most games aren't really fun until you stop caring about winning or losing and just accept the fact your teammates will probably be a buffet large enough to solve world hunger.
Just don't play ranked mate, not worth it. Even if you carry hard, you'll get to your promos and get a riven who goes 0/6/0 after 10 minutes as well as an afk.
At least in normals you don't feel so disheartened when it happens
Riot has show not to care about solo players in the slightest. If you don't have any friends to premade with then it's only going to get worse from here
You have to play a champ that can snowball if you want to carry consistently right now. I used to like playing jg tanks but it was a painful up-hill battle this season. You simply cannot rely on anyone to do anything. It is really the least fun this game has ever been.
Don't worry. Their duo and trio queues surely can't stand up to our duo and 3 randoms. (I see your guild tags, don't tell me it's just coincidence!)
[feedTHEconspiracy] Doesn't matter that they're all Plat VS our Diamond 1 + Bronze 5 , 2 golds, and a silver. [/feedTHEconspiracy]
I don't get it. "Dynamic Q ruins our Solo Q experience!"
And at the same time, "Solo Q sucks it's full of feeders I can't climb whatever shall I do!"
I love the Boards ^.^
Also, one tip from a rengar main..your game that you posted..That game, you could have carried..you know how you lost it??? you lack game knowledge to play this champion properly... This champion in 5 vs 5 is really bad..Best thing you can do, is bait your team to die and you should clean up..or suicide to take out the carries- which in this case it;s not worth it bcs you are the fed one.
Secondly you build is bad..you need movement speed ,CDR and maybe crit..You lack movement speed which is really bad.
And third...as rengar, if you are ahead, you hunt everybody down. Let's look at their team. Shaco, sona ezreal, kass..4 targets..everytime you had ulti, you should take them out, one by one..that;s why if you are fed, you rush cdr and movement speed..be everywhere..And after that, you have pressure on the map..you either take baron or push towers..it;s your fault that you lost that game;)..you had the kills and you couldn;t carry.
A game is always winnable, just never lose hope.
I just had a series of game where I lost about all my solo Q games but as soon as I 5manned with friends we won every single game that night.

You know what I'm feeling?
I'm feeling like I can't do jack SHIT unless I'm playing an ADC. Because do you know how games go these days? You either have a better ADC or you F-ING lose. No other role is allowed to have any agency in this game anymore unless you are either helping your own ADC or gimping the enemy ADC. It's not a team game anymore, it's a damn pissing contest between the Marksmen.
And guess what? THEY'RE NOT LIMITING THEMSELVES TO BOT LANE, OH NO, THEY GET TO GO EVERYWHERE NOW. And once an ADC gets ahead good luck trying to claw your way back into the game.
Whoa. Made this late last night not expecting much, but apparently I'm not the only one feeling down.
Reading through these it looks like I should be trioQing or something. I'll just keep at it and hope for the best.
only the stupid meta and people who are impatient and cant learn to drag a game out where you lose early makes me feel like this all other things are able to come back from.
Now imagine DynamicQ doesn't exist, then almost every ranked game would be like this.
I have been strictly lobby Q'ing for this exact reason. This season seems to have had a spike in trolls, AFK, and utter feeds at the bronze/silver level. I've realized that my stats barely correlate with my win percentage and overall, I feel like I'm having more and more extremely disappointing losses due to the fact that I was proud in the way I played. I feel that there should be no reason to maintain a 40% win rate while averaging a 3.5 KDA with kill involvement over 50%. It doesn't take a genius to tell there are outside factors preventing steady wins. Most of the disappointing losses I attribute to either behavior which in many ways is uncontrollable, but there as been a noticeable rise in teammates feeding 10-20 kills EACH sometimes.
To OP though, as a player who has seen my fair share of bans and account restrictions... you gotta stay positive and refrain from shit talking, it only stoops you down to those players' level. The last thing this game needs is more people pissed off at the world with a serious IDGAF mentality. I have been combating this troll/feeder trend lately by playing norms to 'cool off' or sticking to lobbies that have 4-5 people that you trust not to feed, or know in real life so I think twice about talking shit about a video game.
you can win in silver fcking 5 only by rotating.You have a 25% win ratio..7 wins and 25 fcking games lost:|..and u blame your team? Your last game is Ap malphite..you had 100 farm in 30 min..you didn;t had void staff or any sort of penetretation..Meaning, if they buy some magic resist you won;t be able to 1 shot somebody= meaning after your full rotation of spells you are fcking dead boy:).
NO, it;s not your team..it;s you..learn the game
What I tend to do actually helps quite a bit, especially as a support main.
First of all, you need to keep playing solo queue (sorry).
Second of all, when you get a team that either a) wins overwhelmingly or b) has a player or two you mesh extremely well with (or also do absolutely great), ask the team if they want to play again.
Thirdly, keep playing with the team as much as you can, switching out people as either better people come along, the current teammates start to rage/be toxic, or the teammate just leaves.
It is kind of like speed dating, but for teams.
Also, it is easier to establish these types of teammates (and also to keep them and help them play their best) if you try to be positive, forgiving, and also assist in map awareness. My map awareness, for example, is quite excellent... unless a skirmish suddenly happens bot lane, in which case I divert all my attention to that. I can always use any help I can get.
The only thing I will recommend to be cautious about though is to not proceed with this until your own skill at the given role/champion is at a point which greatly exceeds the rank you should be in. For example, my Soraka in my elo is absolutely disgusting. 5.09 KDA with a 63% win rate, but regardless, the ability to keep track of everyone (i.e. who to heal, positioning, chaining my silence field to snare, etc.) and cooldowns in teamfights is what could completely turn around games. It was only when I reached that height of skill in my elo that I began to employ this tactic.
Good luck. I hope this helps. Cause it did help me. ^.^
