ELO sinking

I think I'm about to be demoted into Silver 1 to be honest, I honestly don't know how that happened, I reached 99 LP like 2 weeks ago but then it was downhill from there, my last 3 games I played Taliyah support, yeah I know, she's not the best support but I was honestly suprised by my adcs... these people had no clue how to even cs :S and I get it my MMR has taken a serious dip and now I'm playing with silver 2 players but wow, like WOW... I really can't play support now because no matter what I do (and as taliyah you don't have much to do but dmg) the adcs will not hold up on a fight.

I guess it's back to play bot/mid :S and even then I think I'll really just sink, long gone are the days of climbing.

I reckon if you climbed once, you can do it again. It's surprisingly easy the second time around.

I climbed up to plat 5, faffed about for a bit taking it less seriously for awhile, then had an absurd streak of 8 matches with DCs/AFKs, and was demoted to gold 1 (implying gold 5 mmr). It took me about a week to get back to plat 5 (with a plat 5 mmr again).

I hope so yeah, I'm just really frustrated because when I'm supporting and I have a not so good adc the enemy adc isn't exactly a genius either, but when I get my main role, adc, the enemy adc is like plat level and I'm here thinking that since my mmr is real low I'll be matched against not so good adcs but nope ._.

Just right now I played a game against a Lucian, as far as I understood Lucian was harder to use with his nerfs, welp, this guy made that thing work again... admitedly their blitz made my naut a very sad champ but wow, again xD.

I supported in both my climbs through gold elo, I'm definitely familiar with the frustration involved in having 3 other champions whose skill can potential spoil things. Sometimes you feel helpless, but if you're gold level, you need to have faith that statistically you'll end up winning more than you lose. Sometimes you might have to try harder than your current mmr should imply, but if you really belong in a higher mmr, then it shouldn't be unreasonable.

Also, Blitz spoils everyones lane with his zoning by virtue of existing play style (while casually throwing off their adc's csing slightly due to ult passive). I would definitely put him in my top 5 bans currently.

well it's done :S I'm back to silver, I'm obviously disheartened but at the same time I think that I do belong in silver sadly... I ended up in plat 5 during preseason but this season has been really rough for me.

I have to say that DQ has a lot of fault in this as well since I play alone all the time and I've had to deal with a lot of coordinated play.

Just recently got in another game and my adc happened to be Silver 3... :/ he was very obviously in a duo with someone else and we weren't able to carry that game. Sad day.
