"It's not your teammates, it's you."

Congrats, you provided a singular game out of millions being played where 4 people had a bad game

And therefore no pro players or streamers ever made it out of silver because it was impossible for them to carry their teammates, and they were forever stuck in elo hell...

not all games are going to be winnable. climbing is about consistency.

if i can get out of silver playing enchanters you sure as hell can do it playing nasus and aatrox.

besides, you've got an entire sample size of 1.

edit: on check up of your match history of games where you've won you can also see a similar trend of enemies feeding. you're a picture perfect example of the enemy team having just as many feeders as yours.

Look at your own match history and tell me if you honestly think you deserve to climb.

Not every game is winnable, but those unwinnable games aren't common. Somewhat related is the fact that grimmer games such as this one do become winnable. The better you are relative to your enemies, the higher your odds of winning these grim games or flatout avoiding the situation. Judging by your screenshot, the enemy's lead came primarily from their mid & jngl chain-ganking bot lane. That shows that there was a link you could've broke before it played a part in hanging your team. Pinging out Vel's movement and paying him visits when you could may have shaven off a couple of your team's deaths.

That game may have been their fault and not yours, but if you're blaming your entire rank and MMR on other people then yes, you're very wrong.

welcome to league. where you're forced to carry 4 bad players in order to get a single win. meanwhile nothing is wrong with Matchmaker and the earth is believed to be flat. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

to give you a rundown of the system: You win 40% of games regardless You lose 40% of games regardless You have the ability to change 20% of the games you play.

High elo does not carry what your rank is they care about their own performance. You cannot simply say "my teammates hold me back" while in silver 3 and declare how something is not working out for you while playing a late game monster like nasus..

Some games are unwinnable. If you're unable to win a game it might be your team's fault. If you can't climb, you either need to go figure out what god you pissed off or get better at the game.

I mean, it's not like it rarely happens.
