it really is your teams fault you aren't climbing

JoeAnarchy··5 votes·915 views

yea, this will get downvoted and hated on. i'm prepared for that. but on an alt account, that started silver i'm already almost gold, i'm one win away from promos. on this account, my original account, started bronze when i wasn't as good at the game, i've never gotten out of bronze. my scores reflect my team, not my skill. my team feeds, my enemies get stronger, i die more. i'm incapable of showing my actual skill levels. on my alt, im playing with golds, silvers and even plats sometimes, and my teams don't feed, and i can actually show my skill.

say it's me all you want, but it isn't. it's bad teammates, feeding, suppressing my ability to actually show my skill.

and for those of you hardstuck, who feel like you're always matched with idiots, it's true, you probably are..

oh, and the argument that "your opponents would be just as dumb as your teammates" doesn't work either, because the way MMR works, your opponents have to match your teams MMR, and if YOU a good player, have a higher MMR than your team, then your opponents will all have a higher MMR than your teammates also.

i'll break it down really quickly say the average TEAM MMR is 5000 and you have an MMR of 1500 your teamates will all have an average MMR of 875 so your opponents will all have an average MMR of 1000 meaning all your opponents have a higher MMR than your team, except you. .. the numbers i used were HEAVILY simplified, and i know there's more to the calculation than that, but overall that'll be the rough estimate of skill level.

meaning your teams honestly do drag you down. also, i always do CONSIDERABLY better, when i'm duoing with a friend, because both our skill level is the same, and we can help prevent feeding in TWO lanes, instead of 1.

... anyway, let the hate flow in.

If you're stuck in bronze that isn't anyones fault but your own.

riot indeed has a shit of an mmr system. although teams can affect your outcome, i have a friend who got lucky enough to get carried into plat even though he feeds every game(almost). you can't put 100% of the blame on your team. remember, even if the enemy is better than your team, they're still bronze, that's a huge skill gap between them and the best.

get better, focus on yourself, and if you reach a high enough level, you can solo carry the game. i too was hard stuck bronze 4 months ago, by focusing on myself managed to reach a peak of gold 1.

like i said, on an alt i'm well out of bronze, and play with gold and plat players. even had a plat 1-diamond 5 friend of mine, coach me. the issue is, once my team feeds the emey team so hard, i cant carry.. i mean, i'll be level 7 against level 10-12 enemy laners. i'll be way behind on gold and CS.. carrying literally becomes impossible.. then they all wanna group top and 4v1, and we lose both bot and mid, and i'm desperately trying to salvage the game.. (ugh, i'm just coming off a really bad game where everyone on the enemy team was tanks, and we got cheesed so hard, and my team just couldn't do anything, and i tried so hard to carry..)

i don't want to sound rude or a dick. but you're not even close to gold/plat levels. in the last 20 games, your average kda is 1.3(includes assists) out of the last 20 games. you fed in 13 games sometimes the ones you WON. so please stop blaming it on the team and get better in the game, and try to make YOURSELF better. if you got fed in most of the games i could belive that you're a higher level than them.

again, sorry for being a dick

OH! and you can't play with palt untill youre gold and you can't paly with diamond untill you're plat. that's how ranked works, and since your alt account is silver 1, you can't be matched with plat/diamond

what part of "alt account" didn't you get? yes on this account i don't. because of how hard my teammates feed. they make it to where i can't even get a good KDA.

it's literally the POINT OF THIS FUCKING POST.. my teammates feeding so hard, makes ME LOOK BAD when i'm actually much better.

read the post again.

read the part where i say why you can't get matched with plat.

although i'm open minded, show me your alt account by replying: "this is my alt account" and not jung giving me a random summoner name

  1. again, idk what to tell you, i do get matched with them.
  2. if i wanted everyone to know my alt account's name, i'd have made this post on that one and talked about this account being bronze, instead of the other way around.

  1. i posted a source. 2)then i don't beliva ya! since you clearly can't provide any evidense for an alt account rather than you talking about it

i think you're the one who's mistaken about the ranks.

"When you’re ready to party up with other players for ranked, you’ll need to consider your placement on the ladder. Most players will be able to queue with players within one tier of their rank. During placement matches, you’re restricted based on last season’s rank (the default is Silver tier if you were unranked last season). These restrictions get tighter the higher you go:

Bronze Tier: Can only queue with Bronze and Silver Tier players. Silver Tier: Can only queue with Bronze, Silver, and Gold Tier players. Gold Tier: Can only queue with Silver, Gold, and Platinum Tier players. Platinum Tier: Can only queue with Gold and Platinum players, with exceptions listed below. Diamond V: Can only queue with Platinum I, II, III, and Diamond II, III, IV, V Tier players. Diamond IV: Can only queue with Platinum I, II, and Diamond I, II, III, IV, V players. Diamond III: Can only queue with Platinum I, Diamond I, II, III, IV, V, and Master Tier players. Diamond II: Can only queue with Diamond I, II, III, IV, V, Master and Challenger Tier players.

Lol place any gold player in bronze and they’ll hardcarry every game if they play their mains.

I honestly believe your gold account probably isn’t real or is boosted.

Edit: after reading other comments I’m now 100% sure this guy belongs in bronze

Not to offend anyone, but if you cant solo que carry yourself into atleast plat5. You are not "good". You are at best, average or below.
