Am I on tilt or am I just trash?

So around a week ago i was in silver 3. I had a 60-ish win rate and i was on my way to gold. I would always do good in lane and carry most games. But lately i have been losing alot. I mean 8 out of 10 games is usually a defeat. I usually play my lane decently but ive seen myself losing lane wayyyyy more often. Also my bot lane feeds religiously almost every game. And dont get me started on the throws. So i was wondering is there any way i can get out of this slump. Cause im thinking those wins were just luck and im just bad. I am now in Silver 5 and still struggling :( Please help!!

Also this is my first post so please be gentle :))

More of the tilt. Although when you go on a winning streak your MMR rises significantly, it's not uncommon for Golds on hot streaks to be put up against Plat 2-1's for example (maaaaay have been a victim of that). Then when (not if) you lose your MMR drops a hefty amount which then affects who you are paired with, and if you're unlucky you can get crushed and then paired with not-so-great teammates. It's bad luck in that case, but I will always suggest to never continue playing ranked when you're on a frustrating losing streak. Playing a game when you're upset/angry will not help, even if you win. Winning when you're frustrated isn't a relief, so what's the point in continuing to play if even winning isn't going to be a good thing? Any time I'm on a bad losing streak I take an hour or so playing another game like Warthunder, Sins of a Solar Empire or Race the Sun and come back later.

I have a question sorta related to this. im having the same bad luck as you are, and I heard that you can carry your way out by playing a lot of jungle and support (to get allies fed). but I only have 1 jungler I play much ( Sejuani ) any junglers who can carry well I should get?

It's usually a good idea to take a break if you lose 2 in a row because you're going to go into your other games with a negative attitude. Most of the time with massive losing streaks, it's just tilt. I think a week or two ago I went on like a 20 game losing streak.

I also had the same problem (was silver 1 fell to 3 preseason 4) I was able to break the fall by focusing on a small number of champions and learning them in and out. I play a grand total of 6 champions total on ranked right now.

That's my suggestion, But Im not a gold or plat so maybe maybe not

"On the 8th day, God took a rest, then he remembered that he forgot to give the enemy something to eat, so God made a bot lane."

Seriously though, you are just on a bad losing streak. I have been on these streaks, (losing SIX promos in Bronze I T_T ) and then I have been on 11 game winning streaks skipping Silver 4 and 2. Just take a break if you notice to be losing more than often, usually that can help you break the negative status of your mind. Do something that you enjoy, listen to music, hang out friends, take a nap. Losing in League can be extremely aggravating, so balance it out. Play an ARAM with AP MF :P
