Is it my fault or my teams that I've been demoted?

I was Gold 5 last week. Now I am Silver 2. When I was silver 1, I had 4 games to win. And then I'd be back in Gold 5. But that didn't happen.

I went positive for the past 10 games. I play Ahri mid, and I usually win my lane, with the exception of a few games. Even the losses, my CS and score is semi-alright. I always try to keep tabs on Dragon and upgrade my trinket. And I always have a positive attitude. Even while losing.

I'm sure it's not ALL my teams fault. But I think I have serious bad luck. I kinda just need to vent and think about this. I feel a lot of pressure on me during a game. I main mid (use to main support) and... take a few games ago for an example. I was 6/2 early game. Top and bottom where 0/3. I roamed. Purposely gave my teammates the kills so they could get SOME gold at least. But they kept making the dumbest mistakes. Like, running into our jungle while we have no wards and our middle inhib and bottom are down. Then dying. Over and over. They never stopped. I kept a positive attitude, and luckily, in the end, we won.

It's just, I know that my MRR is basically shit now. Cause of all these losses. Gold 5 to silver 2? Yeah. Maybe it's where I belong??? Maybe I don't belong in gold? I'm not sure what the reason is. It's just. Im noticing that as I play with these low/mid silvers, I see there mistakes and it makes me cringe. Yet game after game, it keeps happening.

I'm not complaining or anything. I'm just getting unmotivated. Hell, I might drop to bronze. And even if its not true, I'll be thinking, "this is where I belong." I'm getting grouped with these people that are just reckless. I make mistakes in game too. I know. I've dropped far and I just don't understand.

I dropped. Yet I come out with the best score on the team. I lose. Next game. Best score, most impactful. I can't help but feel like I suck. And NOW I'm turning into one of those kids that posts it on the fourms. Damn. Idk. I just needed to vent.item 3070

How the hell do I stop this loss streak? I win a game, I lose one. I win, I lose two. It's pure and slow torture.

No, you're right. It's a basic fact of LoL life (no matter how many people flatly deny it based on their ridiculously tortured logic) that your fate is not in your hands. LoL is a team game and it's the team who wins or loses. Even if you do your best, even if you do everything right, it's still 100% possible to lose the game ANYWAY because one of your teammates has no brain. Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit.

Hell, just yesterday and today I had one of the WORST streaks of shitty teams I've ever experienced- out of 11 games I played, there was only ONE that did not have either at least one outright feeder or a ragequit/lagout who left us to lose 4v5. I dropped from bronze II to bronze IV (having been trapped in bronze II for months by these same useless feeders) and decided I didn't give a fuck any more. I'm sick of trying, sick of doing everything right only to be robbed of my win thanks to a cretin who literally should not be allowed to play ranked, sick of being the only player who knows what he's doing. So I don't care any more. I'm just gonna play whatever the hell I feel like - Poppy jungle, Teemo support, Nami top etc - and screw anyone who doesn't like it. Hell, even when I'm not doing my damndest to win any more, I'm STILL doing better than the imbeciles who literally could not stop feeding if the losing team were all sentenced to death!

Of course, a big part of my problem is that I'm on the OCE server, run by the slackest, laziest, most useless branch of Riot in the world. They disabled the Normal Draft queue ages ago for completely retarded reasons, so all the noobs fresh off hitting level 30 are forced to get all their experience in draft play by jumping straight into ranked and can't practice weekly rotation champs in a draft setting. Hell, I wouldn't even PLAY ranked if I had my choice, I was always perfectly happy with Normal Draft before. But Riot OCE, the useless bastards, have given me no choice (Blind Pick and Team Builder are lame and I refuse to waste time on them) so it's into ranked.

Look on the bright side, though. You reached gold this season. You'll get the gold tier rewards (border, Victorious skin etc) no matter WHERE you end the season. It's poor suckers like me you have to feel sorry for, doomed to forever be judged as "just another bronze noob" because of the teams I constantly get subjected to.
