Unmotivated To Try-Hard in Ranked

This is my smurf account. Went on a massive tilt last night on my main (6 loses in a row - demoted to silver 3 19 lp). Although I didn't do amazingly extremely awesome in these loses, the main reason why we lost were the usual horrible bot lane feed / mid feed or jungler got buffs stolen at start and rage afk at start etc etc bs. This bad of a tilt has just unmotivated me to try hard in ranked, but I'd still rather play ranked over normals. What do you guys do when you get into a funk where you just feel like "Hey, I've never played Rumble top before but fuk it! I'll just buy him and play him in some rank games idgaf anymore." I'm obviously getting paired with people that have no common sense in the game, so why try hard and make myself angry when I can mess around with new and different champs and if I lose or feed, oh well.

Whenever I'm not duoing with someone I stop playing after a single loss. I might come back and play later, but I give myself at least a 10-30 minute break between ranked games. It might be overkill, but it gives me time to clear my head and handle other things that need to be done in the meantime. I understand that your other team members did poorly, however problems like that don't effect me too much if I'm not playing game after game.

Losses will happen, just make sure you do what you have to to keep them from effecting you.

What's your main account's name?

I'd be interested in seeing your match history

Just play normals. People seem to play better in that mode for some reason. o.O

Silver is a 50/50. It doesn't matter how well you do, someone in this game is going to feed. The only way I've been able to rank out of silver is by playing mid, jungle or adc. Pick a mid champion with a global presence like Karthus that way you're in control of other lanes as well. The jungler also has a global presence in a way since his job is to help each lane. If you're godlike jungling then there's absolutely no way any lane should fall behind. I pick the most impactful jungler when ganking like Sion and only use my ult for bot lane.

If you got your mechanics down and want to go full try hard, go adc and outplay the hell out of bot lane for a good chance of winning if mid isn't 7/0 by the time laning phase ends.

Rather not disclose my main account name just for privacy reasons. I ended last season at high Silver 1 (Failed gold promos like 5 times). Went 6-4 in placements and ended in low Silver 2. Went 1W-1L or 2W-1L for a while till the massive tilt. Now I'm in Silver 3 on the verge of being demoted again. Kind of just feel like going "Fuck It! people rage afk/quit and troll on my team all the time, why not start doing it myself and have some fun with it" If I'm gonna lose I might as well lose having a trolly ol' time rather than trying my best and losing due to other teammates fucking up.
