Hi. I have been playing LOL more than 18 months , But i am playing it a lot actually, it is the only game i am playing with many hours per day. And guess what ?, i only got banned one time (due to internet disconnection in a ranked game). Fair enough. And i am that kind of person who is mature, calm, always supportive, made a lot of friends in LOL community, i always get honors from strangers ''90% of the time'', so smooth to play with. STILL, why 'in the hell' i always got total loosers when i play ranked????? The issue is, i know, i am not the best player, but i am waaaaaaay better than silver 3 or 4, seriously, it feels like RIOT don't want people to climb at all.... 70% of my games i am loosing cause i can't carry the other 4... feeders, tiltable, afk, and then there are those people who don't really care about the game or the spirit of a ''climber'' who play a ranked game ''just for fun'' !!! , smurfs who don't really care for winning or loosing, etc. The game is now really stressful, and not fun at all, i just lost a game in less than 15 min, and i didn't vote for surrender, in less than 15 min they destroyed our base, two afk in less than 8 min !!!!! #Smurfing_is_cheating !

level_30_is_not_enough_for_someone_to_start_playing_ranked.

#ranked_isn't_the_place_for_ppl_to_start_learning_a_new_champ. #Riot : get ypourself together, and start focus less on ''materials and profits'', and start focus more on the ''Quality'', since you treat the game as ESport, because quality is the best profit you can get!

It is a common mistake/bias of ambitious but hardstuck players. You don't climb, because you belong to this elo. As simple as that. Even as support player you will climb if you are better than current elo. Get rid of this shit like "I deserve higher elo" "I lose cause my team suck" "they ruin my game". Basic statistics is that if your team in this elo is bad their team are also bad. However if you are better your team has less chances to be bad. Focus on improvement and you will climb regardless.

I completely agree with this post, ranked matchmaking really needs to be fixed. It isn't smart to auto fill people just to make queues faster, because that degrades the quality of games. Auto fill in draft is understandable, but when it's risking peoples elo that is just a dumb implementation. Riot should think ahead of the player base and market draft for players who want to get better and eventually join ranked once they have mastered a character or learned the game. Smurfs are untraceable, but I think that AFKers really need to be punished much more heavily in ranked than in blind pick or draft. I would seriously like to climb, I love to see my rank go up and prove myself as a player, but it really seems like every system Riot implements is rushed and not thought out in the slightest. Fix ranked and that would improve the game for a lot of people.

Please for the love of god, if you're hardstuck silver with negative winrate over 300 games : just FACE THE TRUTH.

Statistics dont lie man, if in over 300 games (quite a decent amount even for an entire season) you're hardstuck at a given elo, it just means that you belong there holy shit.

I know you want to improve and it sucks to be silver, but man focus on yourself and how you can be better and i promise you that you'll climb.

Stop thinking that your team is holding you down, ok maybe they're not helping, but if you want to climb HIGHER you need to CARRY HARDER. It's all on you to make the difference, i swear i would have 90+% winrate at your elo and never stuck because of mates.

Hell man, focus on improving your gameplay (master your champ, learn macro, know how to close game and shoutcall). Imagine what happened for me :

  • Early season, i was low plat with a bad winrate (unlucky placement game, playing many champs, not understanding the meta)
  • Then somehow, i focused on had a steady 75% from P4-D4
  • Stucked like 100 games in low D4 elo and didn't cry about it because i didn't deserve more (i just needed time to adjust to the new elo standard)
  • Now i'm in promo for D2 with 65% winrate on my last 50 games

If i can go from an overall negative winrate in Plat to a 53% overall winrate after playing in Diamond, that just means one thing : IMPROVEMENT
