If you are stuck in low elo, duo doesn't help you at all

Because that's only two, not 5. You still will have teams who feed, who cannot/refuse/troll every game. You are stuck with playing with the same players who make the same mistakes all the time. You can't win and you can't beat it. Just don't play ranked, you can't climb. Just play normals and try to have fun.

because your brother carried you. And how good was your team? Most likely better than the same losers I am stuck with.

I didn't rely on them either. I consider the enemy really.

So, blame your team for being in low mmr. Ok.

Ignoring the first fallacy, duo'ing helps from the stand point that there's one less person likely to troll in that game. One less person likely to rage, or to start a fight. It also helps to have another person to echo calls, and keep everyone from trying to FF.

When they can't be bothered to watch their own lane and tend to wonder off every game and let the enemy just take a turret whenever they want, YOU DAMN RIGHT I AM BLAMING THEM! That's how each recent loss I have had has went. But hey, people just play normal and avoid ranked.

Looking at your match history, your average KDA is 2.32:1, with a contribution of 38%. Lot's of Cho'gath games, a bit of Warwick. Personally don't like Warwick for low mmr, too much risk without enough reward behind it, but Cho's a good pick.

I might be misreading the match history, but you seem to build full AP cho'gath, top lane and support. Viable, but typically top laners need to be remotely tanky, and support should have an income item, and a sightstone. Deathfire touch is an interesting choice, but I do believe there are better options.

In general, I'm questioning your builds. You're runes are iffy, but work. Masteries aren't bad, albeit slightly limited. While you may not have the best teams, you aren't completely free of blame here. You could stand to improve.

you do know my win rate depends on my team right? I don't how you people constantly overlook that.

Back when my parents weren't irritating and I could play League of Legends, whenever I would duo somehow the whole team wouldn't feed and not just my duo. FeelsBadMan.

Well my teams not only leave their lane and leave turrets wide open they like to group fight and lose/ And then they love to chase, because they are stupid.

Dont blame your team... if you are gold or below you are bad at league of legends. So you really cant blame your team mates.

This is statistically impossible. If you have a duo then thats 2/5 people on your team who are not trolls or just awful. The enemy team would have worse odds because all 5 of them could be trolls/bad as opposed to you of having a max of 3. Looks like you're in the right rank if you are not winning consistently. If there are as many tolls/baddies as you claim then the enemy team should have more a problem then you.

No it is not. I still have 3 people that are trash. The emeny team always plays better and together, my team never gets that. You are saying the same old tired lines and not a word of it's true. Keep up with your lies because anyone trying to get out knows you are full of it!

How do numbers lie? You say you and your duo partner arent bad. So that means you only have a chance of 3 of your teammates being bad and the enemy has a chance at all 5 being bad. The only constant unchanging variable in your matches is YOU. So maybe you are the problem.

Or it's the other 4 people. But hey let's spin this to make it my fault. Please....

It wouldn't matter if we were great. If the other 3 suck we will lose.

It's amazing how many players overlook so many factors in this game.
