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 ?
