when will you boosted monkeys realize that no one takes you seriously when you say this?

silver 4 nasus rushing spirit visage vs a graves top? silver 4 morg taking 40+ cs early game so i'm sweating to keep up with their ADC? at the same time gives a few free kills so i can be more behind? brain dead warwick camping a losing lane (top), giving 0 jg pressure the entire game? and you guessed it -- HE ALSO RUSHED SPIRIT VISAGE. katarina was DECENT but couldn't do shit against enemy's cc.

and the answer i get is "it's not your teammates, it's you. you have to go back and look at the game to see your mistakes. you could have turned it around if you played better."

oh, i love this one: "find yourself a partner to climb." then what the fuck is the point of solo Q? also, did you just imply that being boosted is the only way to climb? lmfao.

and please don't tell me "there will be bad games." ultimately, it's just not fun carrying neanderthals. just admit that this game is a complete clownfest. and stop trying to defend rito's shitty matchmaking system.

Ah well. You win some. You lose more. At least that's what I've noticed.

First of all, where's your QSS? If Amumu could just "walk up to you" every single fight then why exactly do you not have a qss for his ult nor q?

Second of all, your Katarina did more damage than you and you're a DPS adc blaming your team.

Third, your cs is abominable, everybody elses was too but there's something to work on. It was a 35 minute long game and you didn't even get above 200 cs.

You placed the least wards in the entire game while you could easily place more and hardcarry due to your superior vision.

Just a small list of things you could've done to have a larger chance of winning.

Also, downvoted for toxicity and aggressive behaviour towards people reading this.

I still don't fully understand the term boosted since people seem to use it in 4 different contexts. Still, playing with someone else isn't cheating. it's just reducing the chance of getting idiots.

Also, don't play Draven.

Alternate your builds, you stupid animal. You are a DPS AD carry who obviously has to carry this into the late game, yet you fking go 3 lethality items instead of triple crit qss.

spirit visage wasn't a bad choice, amumu, azir, and malphite all do good amounts of magic dmg. Also gives him the sustain cause his lifesteal. Since you were so strong though, you didn't manage to use them as shields while you kill everyone? Or at least splitpush?

Lucian did 38k damage, you did 24k damage.

If you can't keep up it's your problem, to put it simply, get good or get out.

Can't get more fed then their graves? Get good.

Can't get more fed then their lucian? Get good.

If you think blaming your team will help you get good, you're fucked.

All I am seeing is a total of 8 wards placed. On a 5 item, 180+ cs champion.

Also, I can't tell who the jungler was. Could be an ap champ that ganks well. Thus justifying the Spirit Visage.

Gonna be that guy and point out that "it's not your teammates, it's you" :p

All jokes aside, the intention of this poorly written phrase is to focus on your own faults. Let's be blunt, you could point out every flaw of your teammates but they won't have any effect for your next game.

From my perceptive, your fault is building lethality when a.) you were stomping your lane. b.) Your team was losing the early game and you needed to stage this to late where lethality loses to crit. It's not the biggest flaw, and compared to your team it's harmless, but since this was your mistake it's the only one you can fix

because you won't have this in every game and if you're stuck while playing 500 games then this is YOU not your team

Bronze 1-low silver... same sh*t.

Anyway wtf ur build ??? change this !!!

"it's not your teammates, it's you. you have to go back and look at the game to see your mistakes. you could have turned it around if you played better."

Its true... And if not in this game, its not what prevent u to climb.

silver 4 morg taking 40+ cs early game so i'm sweating to keep up with their ADC?

you were Draven... just go f*cking kill Lucian... a lucian without support btw.

and please don't tell me "there will be bad games." ultimately, it's just not fun carrying neanderthals. just admit that this game is a complete clownfest. and stop trying to defend rito's shitty matchmaking system.

u play in bronze, what did u expect ??? btw if u play if monkey its not for nothing, ask yourself*[slayer-jinx-unamused]*

"It's not your team, it's you" is only applicable over a decent sample size. I've played games where my team were complete monkeys and it was unwinnable, shit happens.

What people mean when they say this is that your teams aren't causing you to have a 46% win rate, maybe your teams account for 40% of your wins and 40% of your losses, you have control over the other 20 or so %. You aren't ceasing the wins that you could be getting in these games you can impact properly.

tbh play mid/top/jungle to gold, if you stomp hard in mid or top you can easily snowball the rest of the game depending on who you play as in lower ranks. I played Draven to gold 5 but my last few matches were starting to become hard with the enemies camping me because Draven taunts junglers by existing in game.

Also >Nasus in 2017 lul

If you were going against tankier characters (Graves, Malphite, Amumu) where is your counter to that? Lethality is nice and all, but if you're not cranking out high amounts of raw damage, you can't deal with tanks that well. Malphite and Amumu were stacking HP, you should have built Lord Dominik's Regards for the damage boost and the armor pen, and then gone full crit.
