Why Am I Losing My Ranked Games?

coreym11··2 votes·2,507 views

The past two games I played extremely well. As, Jinx adc I came out of my lane pretty fed and was a threat. I didn't feed at all. We won teamfights and each teamfight I killed 3/5 of the enemy as our team relied on my damage to win. My teammates weren't doing that bad either. Anyway I had to stay with the majority of the enemies group (3 mid) meanwhile 2 of their team members 1 at top and 1 at bot were pushing waves. No one on our team would go to stop the split push and I had to stay mid because without me, they could easily over power my team and take it. So we would win the teamfight mid and since top and bot towers were getting destroyed, my teammates would back to stop them and we lose 1 or 2 towers while not even getting one because the wave had to be pushed. This happened for 40+ minutes and I couldn't do anything to stop it. So next game I said fuck it and went jungle VI.

Early on at level 2 I kill amumu in his jungle and get double buffs. I gank the bot lane and we get 2 kills and i'm pretty fed. I rinse and repeat and botlane is pretty fed. Then I head mid and me and the midlaner kill xerath. I go top and gank trydamere kill him, me and teemo take top lane very early on. Bot lane and I take bot tower and I gank xerath again. (This all happened within the first 15 minutes). Our team seems to be very far ahead based on towers taken and map pressure gold and kills. Regardless my team keeps getting caught and picked off, after everything I do early game our team still can't seem to win. I start to try adding lane pressure seeing team fights aren't working. If teemo had pushed top and added lane pressure since hes faster and was practically useless in teamfights besides his shrooms. I could defend with the team but he refused to do it. And would say "your not challenger" even though I wasn't even commanding him. And was suggesting a plan. After attempting 2 more homeless team fights, we lost the game and he called the adc trash.

I really don't understand how I can perform so well and set up the game so nicely and be so helpful towards my team and they still some how manage to screw it up. I know i'm not perfect either, no one is but it feels like it is robbery that I lost these games due to things I can't control (other peoples actions, flaming etc). I feel like I play at a higher level than my rank suggests.

Edit: Just lost again :(

Welcome to league!! The veterans will tell you to "Git Gud" and you lost because you cannot 1v9 yet.

You're losing because as a whole... your team has to do better than the enemy team. The only factor you contribute, is your personal game play and the influence you may make on your team mates whether positive or negative (hence why leading team mates boasts better results than flaming them). In earlier seasons, 1 vs 9ing was much more common and a lot of people keep that mentality even though people of such are few and far between, but riot has adjusted things to make the game less snowball as a unit and sort of kept it as a team snowball. Say what you will, if the score is 50 to 2 you are not "1 vs 9ing" and no amount of "Git gud" is turning that game around. Learn from your mistakes, load up another game, hopefully do better next time.

So, don't be super sad here. This is a case of "twitch happened". When Twitch reaches late game he has one of the highest spikes in the game, so despite you doing really good early and mid game, he reached his late game and understood how to right click against a Comp that doesn't really have a way to kill him.

Now this could have been prevented. The problem with this game actually happened fairly early. You guys got massive leads across the board and then forfeited 4 towers during the time of you guys getting the lead to put the game back on even gold getting nothing in return.

This 2 minute span ended up stalling the game out for Twitch. Its a standard loss, nothing to do with skill and everything to do about overall teamplay. They found their win condition and executed it well.

The second game is just getting outscaled by their comp. It happens.

Thanks for your helpful advice! This is just what I was looking for but I am aware of the tower issue just not of Twitch. With the whole tower situation what could I have done to change the game around? I had to stay where the majority of enemies were and our team couldn't afford me to split push and they weren't stopping the enemies split. Did my allies not perform their roles correctly or is there still more I could have done?

Finding some way to not have those 4 towers go down is the best opportunity you have honestly. That is what inevitably won the game for them. I can't see exactly how the games went, because I'm not willing to download the replays, but from what I can see you just need to contest the towers. You were not dead, no reason not to contest them. Its a 2 minute span of them taking towers for free. There are definitely ways that you could have influenced this 2 minute span to come out with a teamwide lead.

There is only one thing that confuses me about the Baron, Why did you guys not just win the game right there?

coreym111 votes

What happened with the whole baron this was that I was trying to push mid but the top and bot lanes were pushed to their respective towers so when I pushed mid lane top and bot kept pushing to our base so my allies kept backing to stop them. I couldn't fight 3 of them on my own and while the 2 went to defend our towers the people pushing grouped back mid and tried to engage fights while our members were trying to clear the minion waves. And by the end of the game we lost too many towers

You could have told them what to do, If you killed 3 mid and your whole team went b to defend you could still get towers as a fed jinx pretty easily. Did you get baron? Since enemy were 3 and you 5 sounds like an easy baron.

Also, you want to end those situations fast, don't sit there waveclearing, ping your team to force, or start chunking the tower with Rocket Launcher
