I'm still consistently being put on the losing teams, 90% of my games is just the enemy team, shitting on my entire team. No one on my team carries, while the enemy team is consistently having multiple members going stupid numbers like 13/2/18. I'm starting to feel like im just going up against a bunch of challenger boosters.

I went on a fantastic win streak into a terrible losing streak. Now my wr is about 45%, which is way better than it used to be. Most of the people I play with funnily enough, have TERRIBLE winrates. More than half of people in my games are below 50%, and almost every other game, there is a smurf or two with 70~85% wr. I dont get it. The same champs every single game too, can't ban em all! This season is honestly a joke.

Same. When im actually in my roll my bot lane averages 3/18. When im not protected im autofilled.

There are a ton of smurfs, and this start of season is extremely luck based, pretty unfair. Also early game is so reliant on jungler. I see alot of ACE in your match history, and also, your teams have awful kda's so looks like a honest post.

Games are often 1 sided I noticed. I played in a very wide array of mmrs and lower elo games weren't even easier. As an assassin jungler it's more about running to every lane as fast as I can to compensate my garbage teams feeding than making intelligent decisions. I really liked the pre-season and it brought me back to the game, but now this clownfest of early S10 is so unfun... There is 0 strategy 0 smart play just run as fast as you can to fix teammates mistakes & get fed faster than they feed.

You only have 26 games played so it's a small sample size, you get lucky eventually, but ye there is nothing you can do... People might tell you "get better" but you'd have to play at a far higher level to carry feeding teams and it just gets tiring anyway, people it's like they don't realize some people have better things to do to dedicate their lives to a game but still want to progress in small increments and have fun in fair games.

As these troll fest make assassins strong, Riot is going to keep nerfing them and/or buffing tanks, so games will get slower paced (by then possibly players will have found their true elo and it won't be necessary just overkill and tanks will be OP w/e).

1 last thing, since it's so unfun, alot of players including myself and my duo, we just go smurf, making more toxic games for lower elos, oh and since we don't climb as fast as we would since games are full of smurfs and of trolls this means even MOAR smurfing (since it takes more games to climb). It's a never ending vicious circle.

Idk what Riot was thinking this season... They lucked out and got in their hands a very successful game, but they keep shooting themselves in the leg...

Just went 5-0 in lane only for a draven to int bc he “aint no bitch” even more frustrating knowing reports wont do anything to him. Great way to cap off my 9L 2W streak

I played a ranked game where my trundle raged at us when 2 kills behind and just farmed the rest of the game, as far as he can from teamfights (he had Tp)

I feel you. I played 2 ranked games today on one of them bot feeds before I can even think about roaming and the second one I had this boosted blitz that kept flash hooking the skarner

I literally got a support who spams Urf games, Iron 2, mains soraka and has a 9% winrate in a Bronze 1 MMR game

Poster is on point.

Riot is 200 years of experience sleeping in the corner. I think all of their experience is in the design team.

Its certainly not in their matchmaking team. They probly don't even have a matchmaking team, its the only thing that makes sense.

Smurfing is the only way to get fun in ranked...

I was playing Fiora top vs an Irelia. Fiora is already overbuffed but i couldn't do a thing vs this Irelia. She was playing like a plat at least and i'm only silver. I didn't get why i played vs her since the level gap was huge beetween us. In the meanwhile, my team was also losing bot and mid and blamed me for losing vs Irelia as Fiora...

And even when i manage to win my lane, i can't be useful in teamfight. My team manages to feed the enemy team and we end up with 0 drakes, the other adc very feed and horrible to kill. I can't kill a Xaya with Fiora, she press R and she deals a horrible damage. I can't even survive before getting close to her. They feeded her so much.

The only way i'm useful when i play top, is when i play Kayle. Kayle have been buffed not so long ago and she is perfect because she is like a 2nd adc but with utility. When i pick her, i take 0 risks and i win easily because she is op asf...

When i play Fiora i must fight correctly, target the weak point and survive because i'm so squishy. It's so hard for me to play Fiora vs these opponents. But when i play Kayle, i stay under my tower, i farm as much as i can before lvl 6. After, i can farm safe, if the enemy approach, i press W and Q and i escape easily. Most of the time, the other top laner end up having an anger crisis because he want to kill me and try to towerdive me. I get free kills. And in teamfight, i kill everyone with 3-4 AA...

For now, the only ranked games i won in top lane was when i played Kayle. I get why people play supports like Soraka in this lane. It's useless to play fighters unless you play them very very good. Your team will always feed the other bot lane. If you pick a melee fighter, you end up being very squishy and unable to do something if you don't crush your opponent more than your bot lane is crushed.

I know i'm very bad on Fiora but i can't really progress if i'm playing vs matchup that are 3 or 4x times my level. You learn nothing by getting constantly destroyed. The worst is when i lose, i don't lose so much LP but when i win, i need like 2-3 win to pass a level which is stupid. I can barely manage my lane in silver, why the matchmaking is trying to put me higher ?

I know the feeling and it feels like I just can't do anything about it and it's starting to make me genuinely hate this game I've played for so long.

I get junglers that end with a whopping 0/3/1 cause they don't even try, adcs duo'd with junglers that just leave bot lane and fall 60 cs behind before the second turret plate is down and I out damage them as the support by double, top laners that flat out just rage quit if they die twice (had it happen multiple times this season), it's infuriating and I don't know what to do. I can literally roam and help bot get a double, come back mid and my bot dies 2 minutes later 2v2 with no jungler help, just straight 2v2, then start flaming me for not roaming more.

No amount of winning lane, pushing advantages, roaming to help lanes, building to help the team, stomping my lane opponent seems to matter because there will always be that guy that gives up at 7 minutes, the jungler who has never jungled and is autofilled because jungle this season is ass and no one wants to play it, or the laner that just hard feeds so bad while flaming saying it is someone else's fault.

It doesn't help that the meta is hot garbage for solo queue so it is just the cherry on top. I want to play League, but the more I play the more I'm hating this game for the first time in a decade.

Ngl ur match history isn't looking too hot. Every game where someone on the enemy team had an "insane stat line" someone on ur team had one to match. There were only like 3 games I saw where that wasn't the case. My best recommendation coming straight from an S4 peak player is to focus on winning lane. The second u win lane or are winning lane, roam and push ur leads elsewhere. It's how I hit s4*[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]* despite S4 being slightly better than a dog

Smurfs are everywhere bro.

Violet Fields2/17/2020, 10:22:36 AM1 votes

Okay when you're getting teams who feed you NEED to roam, even if that means sacrificing your lane to help your teammates. I play champions like Kennen, Sion, Jax, and even Katarina who roam to shut other people down early before they become too fed to deal with. I have a 70% win rate with Kennen of over 50 games in ranked and I got to Gold IV with ease repeating the same thing.

Don't believe me? Check my league of graphs. Anyway, you have to come to the realization that you won't win every game but, that also every game is winnable because there's always something you're doing wrong. Even if you're team is complete dogshit.

Sonnington2/17/2020, 5:45:43 PM1 votes

Nah dude, it's because you suck at the game. It's not the team's fault. I was placed in Iron 3, shucks, unlucky placement games. After placements I've gone something like 25 wins for 5 loses.

You'll get better with time and practice.

Sometimes we win 15 out of 20 games

Sometimes we lose 15 out of 20 games

Do you acknowledge your luck when your team is better than the enemy in the first situation, or you think it was all you?

After checking your op.gg I don't think it's your teams. You average almost 8 deaths a game, low cs, etc. At that elo you should win out purely by having strong basic fundamentals.

What you need is some friendly help! Add me in game, and I can help you out if you'd like.

Ooduwa2/17/2020, 11:50:21 PM1 votes

FACTS!

Pls, check my ranked match history. I'm not the best player by any means, but I try, and for the most part, perform decently well. But, it doesn't really matter when my team hard ints 75% of the time. I have to give 110% just to be competitive! Rarely, if ever, do I receive the luxury of being carried. It'd be pathetic if it weren't so hilarious.

You can't convince me matchmaking doesn't work against players that generally perform well.

Edit: Last season, my first, I reached Gold. Bronze matches are undoubtedly more difficult to win.
