Carrying ranked games (pls give advice)

Jhazwrath··1 votes·861 views

There's probably a lot of threads like this on here but I'm gonna go ahead with this anyway.

I really need some advice for my ranked games because I've just demoted to silver 4 and I don't know what it is I should be doing different. I recently made a role swap to top lane from jungle since I found jungle just wasn't working out for me and I like a lot of top lane champs, and I've also found that I'm winning lane in top a lot more than I'm losing lane. I'm out csing the enemy laner and I'm getting first turret in a lot of games. Yet my teams seem to just go into ARAM mode regardless of whether I'm there or not and I'm frequently losing games because of it. In the last game I played I won lane as Gnar against a Darius and my bot lane won their lane as well. At one point I killed Darius and pushed my lane out so I could roam down to help my ARAMing team in mid since I knew we could win a team fight as a 5v4 with all my CC, yet before I even get close to mid I find my team fighting between enemy turrets and getting wiped. Next thing I know my bot lane that won now has a negative KDA.

How am I supposed to be winning these games where I'm winning lane but my teams consistently hard throw and become aggressive towards me when I try offer them advice or simply tell them that they shouldn't be taking those fights? Is there something else I should be doing in order to try to carry and direct my team into better fights? I'm starting to feel like ranked is a lost cause with the amount of lp I gain dropping with each game.

by the looks of things you lost 1 ranked game, infact your only ranked game in 10 days, my only advice... PLAY MORE RANKED

I've been putting off playing ranked for the reasons above. I just feel like I'm not getting anywhere and watching the same mistakes being made over and over again in multiple games is really demoralising, especially when your team just respond with insults or elo shame when you try offer advice. No doubt I make mistakes myself but it's just becoming incredibly frustrating feeling like I'm playing the same match on repeat.

:motivation warning:

Do you think people stopped pushing towards their goal because it seemed impossible? because whenever they tried they failed? NO! they keep pushing and pushing again, getting better every single step no matter how small or large it may be. Do you think dyrus, faker, huni gave up when they lost? NO! they kept pushing, improving, adapting, climbing, and look were that got them. And so I ask you again, are you going to sit around being lazy waiting for someone else to come along and fix you're issues for you? or are you going to stand up AND REACH YOUR GOAL?

Thanks for the laugh, I appreciate the pep talk. I'm definitely gonna keep trying but I felt the need to vent my frustration and hopefully receive advice at the same time. Thanks man
