I Think I Do Decent In This Game, Then I Play Ranked

Anon Kek·9/4/2018, 4:01:21 AM·2 votes·745 views

I have been getting more into this game recently, and I feel as if I have improved in my skills with the mechanics, and the overall mentality of how the game goes. I play several normal/draft games where I actually do good and I even start to have fun. I decided maybe it was time that I should give ranked another chance. I make the mistake of going Jungle. Basically, I got flamed for not ganking constantly and just felt like if I made ANY move, I would get hate as well as questions asking "Why would you go there!?!?!?" and stuff like that. Next game I played Top, something I'm more accustomed to. Once again, I did poorly. It starts out with a two man invade that leaded to us dying and me coming back in lane a little late. The champion I was laned against was mega aggressive against me, and I couldn't do anything without fighting, and eventually dying. I would get slightly behind, and then later I would get so behind that I wouldn't be able to come back. Also, don't forget the constant hate throughout the match. It was when I was called "The worst Yasuo ever" that I decided that I was straight up done with ranked, and maybe even done with the game. Stuff like that gets to me too much and completely destroys me internally. Is this what all you people have to deal with every ranked game? Because I just look at my recent games and only think that I will never get better at this game. Making it all that much more discouraging.

You dirty dirty yasuo player smh

Anyways you played incorrectly just from your paragraph of text i can tell. You did a 2 man invade which should never happen, Im doubtful that you took tp considering you got back to lane late, and you said your laner was extra aggressive meaning you couldve let the wave push into the tower but instead you kept greedily going for cs and was punished. Next you said you were playing yasuo so i doubt you built defensively to keep yourself alive from being turret dove after falling behind. In a game where players are playing to win and you pick a champ which is sitting at a B tier in the current meta and lacking the decision making to play him well. You kind of have to understand where your teammates are coming from on this, because yea to you it looks like you just had a bad game, but to them it looks like you're doing nothing right. Running ignite is for lane kill potential against a target like darius or renekton who just flat out win the early game against you says alot about your knowledge on yasuo.

Anyways besides all these mistakes i could care less about them but i do have a question for you. Why are you judging your teammates for calling you the "worst yasuo ever", when you know theyre saying it out of anger that you potentially cost them 20 LP which takes about 30 to 40 mins of their free time to get. Making it so they need 2 hours (1 hour 30 mins to 2 hours) to get back to where they wouldve been if they won the game with you in it.

In other words why are you putting your feelings over their feelings? You're hurt that they flamed you and theyre hurt that they work to get a win only for it to get thrown away by a player who probably (no shame to you you're learning and thats okay) doesnt understand laning mechanics and queued up for ranked.

The dirty dirty yasuo player was a joke btw.

And dont do what these players are saying with "mute all and fuck em" because it shows you their mentality is to screw up people's games often and not care as long as they feel theyre progressing thats all that matters to them.
