I'm going to quit playing ranked.

Played a ranked game, first 20 mins we were doing so well. We had 5 of their turrets down, they had 1. I was snowballing lanes left and right. Every time i ganked i would give my laners the kills. We won all 3 lanes because of it. We had an easy game too. They had a Twisted fate ADC (He was AD), Ivern support, Udyr Jungle, Chogath top and ahri mid. their composition was pretty bad.

We had a twitch adc, lb mid, yorick top, sona support and i was amumu jg. We were doing so damn well, it was almost a certain win. But then the team fights started in mid. all 5 of them were mid. However our Yorick insisted he wanted to push top. Problem is, both top turrets were up for our team, both enemy top turrets were down AND the whole lane was pushed. We didn't have our tank, we were doing pretty bad in team fights. Then our twitch decided to go push bot, which again, was already pushed all the way.

So we just kept 3v5'ing in team fights, just me leblanc and sona. we were fed but we were slowly losing our lead. Then our Leblanc started lagging heavily and started feeding then disconnected. It was over before we knew it; we lost.


Stuff like this really bothers me. How was that loss my fault? I did my job. I made sure all 3 lanes god fed, didn't take any kills so i could snowball. made sure we won all lanes. if you look at my score it was like 1/2 for the first half of the game, then i died like 8 times because we kept trying to defend our turrets in 3v5 teamfights

Sorry for my complaining. I know I'm not the best, but i try my hardest to climb and when people just don't give a shit anymore and turn their logic off, it's saddening.

firstly amumu is a better tank and a better initiator than yorick so you had your tank and it was you

secondly when one splitpushes the rest is supposed to defend 4v5 at your tower and if they send 1 or 2 to stop the splitpush you can fight 4v4 or 4v3

thirdly you can push all together, like, your twitch went bot? follow him, it is not aram so you are not forced to fight mid only

Yorick and twitch were both splitpushing lanes that didnt need pushing. the other the other team didn't get anyone to go after them because they didn't have anything to defend. neither of them got any towers. we couldn't hold up a 5v3

just checkedf your match history

http://matchhistory.oce.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/OC1/157395880/202098030?tab=overview

your lead was just 6k, ahri had a hard lane but cameback and carried later

you didn't bother to build a single mr item against 24/4 ahri and 12/5 chogath but built armor for some reason, against the feeding ad tf i guess

yorick seems the only one who did good, he built maw and visage btw, also zzrot and mercs, it's all mr, you didn't even have mercs

lb had some early lead but couldn't hold it

i guess yorick splitpushing could be your only chance with this team...,

Yorick and twitch were splutpushing with no purpose thoguh. they had no turrets to aim for. Their 10 minute long splitpushing got them no turrets in the end which is why the other team didnt need anyone to go after them. Ahri wasn't that fed until the team fights where they fed on us.

it's not your fault bud and this happens a lot and i hate it cause i am a jungle main as well we can bring our best game and bad choices screw the game hard. All you can do is bring your best and hope you get a team that knows how to work together.

You got to bronze 2 last season, can I ask how? I can't seem to climb out of bronze 5. I know I sound shit; I have my good games and bad games but half my my games have afkers and trolls in them I can't seem to climb.

I mean an average winrate is like 50%, so how is it possible to even climb at all in league lol. If you win 1 in every 2 games its not possible to climb at all. especially when there are trolls everywhere in this elo

You don't sound like shit at all man here is the sad part for me i placed in bronze 2 and i never escaped. I went to promos total 12 times to escape b2 and never left and i even demoted once to b3 cause of the crap and barely made it back to b2 as my team wiped i was first up i held the towers at the nexus my team got up their towers were down at nexus my team chased them around stupidly got ate up i rushed the nexus for the last 4 hits as they all got kited to death and they just wiped our towers.

Just honestly it's hard to escape bronze i feel for all the people lucky enough to escape just to get tossed back in this hell. I don't claim to be the best jungle i do make some bad calls but i go back and work on them but you're right you can't climb when you win one then trolls come out and mess it up for the next 5.If you keep trying to climb brother i do wish you the best of luck honestly i don't know if i will try granted the dynamic queue is at least gone but the auto draft crap is more toxic then d-queue ever could be.

A few pieces of advice that may, or may not help. 2 different topics of advice actually.

1: Remember that you arent going to win every game, even games where you play amazingly, perfect almost, you can lose because at the end of the day it is a 5v5 TEAM game. It seems like you have a pretty good head about you so I would imagine you understand that concept pretty well already. What I really want to talk about is that mindset, and overall mentality is 100% just as important as physically playing the game. I dont mean strategy or thinking about what is going on or outwitting your opponent, those are all important as well, but I am talking about morale, and the mentality that ties to it. Keeping the right mindset about the game before, during and after the game, whether it is a victory, a loss, a complete stomping win, or a dreadful annihilation of a loss. It is always important to keep the right mentality. Avoiding negativity like "this Twitch is split pushing we cant win teamfights unless he groups" and instead focusing on potential, and positives such as, "if we hold them at tower, or make them take long enough to destroy it we can give twitch enough time to take a tower in return" is really important (and sometimes incredibly hard). Also not taking games too hard, remember that you cant win them all, and you did the best you could for that particular game. Could you make improvements? Probably, Could you do things a bit definitely? Sure. Would it have won you the game? Who knows. The fact of the matter is you didnt win that one, but that doesnt mean you cant win the next one. Or the one after that. As long as you are putting in the full effort in trying to win as well as making a legitimate effort to trying to clean up mistakes (no matter how minor they are) and staying in the mindset of "what can I do in this specific game right now, that will help this specific team win this game"(sometimes that means Going 15/0 and playing full ap burst amumu and suiciding in to the enemy team to kill an enemy carry or two, Sometimes it means grabbing a supportive item like locket or redemption or even knights vow and just sitting on top of your adc, no matter where he is or what he does to make sure he stays alive, and it could even mean leaving towers to die while you split push to trade towers instead of fighting at a disadvantage, losing a few members of the team and then the tower on top of that anyway) then that game can be a personal victory even if it ended in a loss. But the important part of mentality, is DONT GET STUCK ON SOMETHING, experience it, good or bad, figure out what went right or wrong, decide what you will do if it happens again and then let it go, move on to the next teamfight/tower/dragon/baron/game/day/week/season/etc

2: Dont take this as me trying to tell you what to play or not to play, I am not an expert and dont try to pretend like I am one. Having said that I do feel like I have a pretty decent understanding of things (MAYBE even slightly above average, but who am I to decide). The Jungle as Im sure you know has the unique ability to affect essentially the ENTIRE map at pretty much all stages of the game. The jungle changes this season have ballooned the junglers ability to impact the map tremendously. Currently junglers with high efficiency jungle clears are absolutely taking over the game in an unstoppable fashion. Perhaps transferring your priority to champions that have increased early game impact (hecarim, lee sin, rek sai, rengar) as well as rediculously fast, safe and efficient jungle clear mechanics will help give you the edge in your games. Im not saying amumu is a bad pick or that you shouldnt play him, Im suggesting that the meta high tier highly contested picks are certain champions for a reason. That reason is that in an evenly skilled matchup where neither side make any mistakes these champions have an advantage just on a champion level (or like for support in janna's case, she is just so entirely easy to play that the chances of you messing up are so low that her weaknesses on a champion level are overlooked). So I suggest playing the efficiency driven, high impact junglers and force advantages that way. If you get into a situation where one of your carries (in your previous case the twitch) feels like they have something better to do than what you think is the right thing, try increasing communication. Pinging more ahead of potential fights, pinging enemy movements, pinging your movements, pinging suggestions for things you think your team should do, typing suggestions (FIRE DRAG NEED TO CONTEST, etc) and if they still dont start to get on the same page as you, change your thought process and play around them. If twitch wants to split, either distract and delay the enemy team, or join him. Making a decision to follow a 5 man mistake is more likely to have a positive effect than trying to make a split decision where you are correct but you lose it anyways because you are split up on the subject.

Overall remember, that was one game and you have the ability to win future games. Mindset, and morale are just as important as how effectively you can press your buttons or click, especially over the course of multiple games.

Hope at least part of this helps. If it doesnt I apologize for wasting your time. Good luck on the rift.

Your Bronze 5.

You should expect this type of stuff in there and if you think you're better then you should have no problem 1v5 carrying bronze 5.

Armored Yokai1 votes

OP bronze 5 is very easy, all you have to do is dominate lane and end before the other team can catch up

Purpl3Jungl31 votes

We got up to the dominating lane part why couldn't we end
