How do you get the motivation to queue for ranked?
Right now I'm gold 2 around 40lp. I have about a 50% win rate. My performance nearly every game is excellent. Obviously, it could be better, but I'm not failing.
Unfortunately, it seems like no matter how well or mediocre I do it has no bearing on the outcome of the game whatsoever. It all comes down to the quality of teammates I get which just seems like RNG.
Here are my recent four games:
1.) Every lane won, we won the game.
2.) I dominated my lane as support but our adc built wrong, positioned poorly, our mid lost insanely hard, and our top was afk. We lost.
3.) Our top lane fed first blood, teleported back in and fed second blood 10 seconds later, and raged the entire game. We lost.
4.) Good team, we won.
I've experienced this back and forth of useless versus useful teammates for about 30 games now. I'm just not motivated to queue anymore.
I have some friends who play with me once in awhile. One is a diamond II jungler, the other is a diamond I mid. Neither can carry in high gold/low plat elo consistently. So the idea I should simply "play better" when diamonds can't consistently carry is just a bogus argument. It really feels like it's just RNG.
Perhaps over a large sample size of games (hundreds) my own consistently positive performance would allow me to climb, but that seems pretty miserable.
Before you ask, I primarily play Morgana, Malz, Veigar, and Karthus mid. Of these picks Karthus and Veigar probably have the best carry potential, but in the current meta would still instantly die to a 0/12 zero cs Rengar.
How do you get motivated to play League of RNG?
