Your team A-got counterpicked: leona and vayne are better in late game whereas MF and morg have better range and better early game, so botlane got countered.

Toplane darius > tanks if the darius isnt bad, so poppy was screwed, and shen is not a jungler, and I would guess fed all the lanes to some extent.

So yall got counterpicked and then all but you fed the enemies. Yeah it sucks but some matches are just not winnable, just try not to tilt and let it affect your play in the next game or take a little break from ranked til you are over it. That can certainly happen in ranked on the weekends, more casuals + more kids who likely don't care as much about their ranked score/climbing as someone who plays more often can really bring down a game. Better luck next time bro.

I seem to have a history of constantly getting games like this, I was in bronze 1 a few weeks ago and now I'm in bronze 5 while doing the best or second best on my team almost every game. I usually play Jax jungle because he can take objectives and do crazy things like 1v3, but even when I do well, I still lose because someone feeds almost every game, while for some reason, people rarely feed on the other team. I've looked up coaching videos for Jax, done lots of research on how to play League in general, and I still can't win even 40% of my games. I've queued up with someone and played at a silver 1 level, and did the best or second best on my team every time. Do you have any ideas for how to win games like this? Because this happens a lot.

Just as a sidenote, I placed bronze 2 after winning 2 out of 10 of my promotionals, because I got bad teams there too. Everyone I've seen who won only 2 of their placement games ended up in bronze 5. I'm guessing that I placed bronze 2 because I performed well.

Actually, I don't think performance in the games has anything to do with your placement, but that was what I heard maybe 2 years ago, so it might be outdated.

I'm pretty sure that it is affected by how you do, because otherwise, people who win 7 out of 10 of their games shouldn't end up in bronze 5(which I've seen before).

No, that's probably because it was not their first placement games, if they were bronze 4 in season 6, say, and they win all of their 10 placement games for season 7, they will probably still be placed into bronze 4 or 5.

However, if it is your first placements, you can go about 3/7 and still get placed into silver 5.

The algorithms for the two are different, but performance doesn't matter.

I've heard of people who had their first placements 2-8 and go to bronze 5, whereas I went to bronze 2 for my first placements.

I just looked you up on na.op.gg. Looks like you were trying machine gun Lulu. xD

Oh yeah lol. I was trying to play a ranged top laner and I was just like "Why not lulu"

Yes. This happens all the time...until you realize how to carry through it. Going 25-6-1 on akali and still not carrying? This is the problem. You don't know how to translate winning in kills to getting objectives. Once you learn how i promise you will be upper silver at least. Trust me silver isn't easier. Gold isn't easier. Plat isn't easier. Its all the same. Learn how to carry.

What i try to do. I try to find my 1 teammate i can "trust" to help me carry the game. Once i identify who that is (could take 20 min + 5min outside laning phase) I try to help them out. Getting 25 kills means i might have stolen kills from the person i "trust" to help me win. Not good. I want the person i trust to have some gold. Also, having 25 kills probably means I wasnt focused on objectives. I was busy chasing kills. Sometimes I get more than "1" teammate and that is basically an automatic win if i am competent.

If you aren't getting objectives you aren't carrying the game. If you aren't taking towers you aren't carrying the game. IF YOU ARE FED YOU BETTER DRAW PRESSURE AWAY FROM YOUR INCOMPETENT TEAM AND CARRY THE GAME. if i am fed i WANT enemies to come to me. This means i want to be prepared to fight a 1 v 3 or 1 v 2. I must apply pressure but i must do it smart. 4 enemies missing on map. I better not push the tier 2 till i see at least 2 more enemies. I better have a control ward in enemy jungle and camp and kill rotating players or the jungler. Am i taking enemy jungle camps? i better be if im ahead. YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO CARRY THE GAME IF YOU WANT TO CARRY THE GAME. CARRYING THE GAME IS NOT ABOUT WHO HAS THE HIGHEST KDA OR THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF KILLS. ITS ABOUT HAVING THE MOST PRESSURE. FORCE PEOPLE TO REACT TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING, NOT REACTING TO WHAT THE OTHER TEAM WANTS TO DO.

you cant trust teamfights in low elo so:

Get fed
Identify who you can "trust"
Splitpush to the inhib tower (while playing smart) if you can. 3.5 if you are playing a splitpush champ like tryndamere splitpush all day. Tell team to not engage or get engaged on but tell them to at least pressure an objective so you dont get ganked by entire enemy team. Mute chat if you must. Do what is correct. Learn from your mistakes.
Improve your philosophy on how to carry the game based on role and champion you play.

Akali isn't good at taking objectives, I took both mid towers, and almost got a 3rd mid tower, but every time I went down there, my teammates didn't help me. How am I supposed to take objectives with someone who can't 1v3 and doesn't take objectives well in a situation where my teammates never help me? I tried to get a drake, but it just got stolen because my team didn't help. Tbh, there wasn't anyone on that team I "trusted," and that's the problem. I know that Akali isn't very good for carrying the game, but I was just playing Akali for fun in a draft pick game. I do have a few people I friended that I "trust" who I duo with in SoloQ. When I duo with just 1 decent person, I win almost all of my games.

by the way you play in the division where you belong... if you were silver you would be in silver... this season i climbed from b1 to s1 in a month and i should get gold because i watch my replays to see my mistakes instead of blaming my team...(only person who will be in every game you play is you lol...)

DaFluffyPotatoApr 1, 20171 votes

Well, bad teams do happen, I know I need to play more to balance it out. When I play jax jungle and I'm actually trying, I win about 80% of my games. (recently)

KAID0Mar 30, 20171 votes

that being said you must also play to your teams advantages, by that i mean if your team is strong early take advantage and group as early as possible and put the enemy in the dirt and when before the enemy starts to get stronger ;)
