17 is the magic number.

17 games in a row.

17 games Over a period of 4 days.

17 games where i got my main role of mid lane.

17 games where i stomped the early game.

17 games where i looked away for 5 seconds and my opposing laner had a quadra.

17 games where my team fed their ass off.

17 screaming fests.

17 is the number that proves there needs to be a rank lower than bronze.

17 games of players with winrates lower than 40% proves that no bronze is not a balanced elo, because if it was and everyone was as shit as each other wed all have 50% winrates.

17 games of pure bullshit.

17 migraines.

17 little shitnosed brats chucking temper tantrums when i inform them that they are walking fucking trash and should stay out of ranked.

17 stoners not giving two fucking shits about their elo but apparently giving enough of a shit to not just play norms.

17 games of pure statistical impossibility, due to the statement "well theres 4 on your team and 5 on theirs"

17 is the number that drives me fucking mad.

17 games where you were a contributing factor to the loss, believe you did nothing wrong, and chose to blame the game. Classic. There's a reason you're hardstuck bronze 5 for 3 season straight. You feed EVERY SINGLE game, you have terrible builds, and can't cs.

You clearly dont know the full extent of op.gg's use.

here let me walk you through how to show your comment is pure bullshit so you can verify it for yourself.

let begin by clicking on the button labeled tier graph, this will show you a detailed breakdown of my lp and ranking on a week by week basis.

notice i am b5 in 3 weeks of the last 12, and am b3/high lp b4 for the rest. and thats me playing at my worst.

lets go back further to when i had a 90% winrate and wasnt on perma tilt to do that we click on the monthly button in the top right hand corner of said graph. what you will find is that for the months of october last year through to january of this year i averaged low lp b2/high lp b3, i peaked at b2 99lp during the month of january before hitting a steady and fast decline.

What caused such a decline after 3 months of steady climbing?

tilt, see i know why im bronze.

plain and simple, see when i blame my teams for being retarded, its not because i want them to carry me, on the contrary i couldnt care less what they do.

I blame my teams because of two things.

if they feed it makes it harder to nigh on impossible for me to 1v5, which is the only way to win games down here.

and the other thing, the main purpose of getting you to actually use the data you have available instead of just glancing at my match history and going "yah he shit" is tilt.

When i play with trash players, i dont just get pissed off.

I go into a blind fucking rage.

Because im sick of them.

in 500 games played this season.

How many people do you think ive played with that i thought were half decent.

I can count them on my fucking hands.

from b1 all the way down to b5 and back up to b2 again for a bit.

all across bronze elo, and i couldnt even find 10 people worth my fucking time.

And those that i did find, felt the same way about myself, hence why we duo'd

And guess what ive got a good eye for that shit, because every single player that i have duo'd with, all of them, escaped bronze shortly after.

the only difference between me and them, is im a rager.

And before you say "well they were just better than you and you thought they were equal" no they were in the same situation as me, hardstuck in bronze and needed help getting out, so i got them high enough for them to get themselves out.

We would honestly take turns carrying, its not like one of us just hard carried the other every game, it was always either we both win and hard carry, both lose and throw the game, or one of us hardcarries while the other plays more passively splitpushing because they lost their early game.

Thats my final point btw and something id like to stress "both lose and throw the game"

i know when ive lost a lane.

Im fully able to accept when im the reason we lost.

But you cant look at the front page of an op.gg match history and see why i lost.

At the very least click on the time lines.

take a look at the breakdown of each game.

take for instance the game from 4 hours ago, 8/8/12 as shaco mid against oriana.

my bot lane was 12/26 combined score, my top lane was 2/12. and my jungler was 10/13

That already is a clear enough indicator of where the team went wrong.

But lets go into the timeline and see if that 21/6 ori was my fault seeing as i laned against her.

because i mean clearly if i died 4 times in lane and started her snowball thats my fault, and id accept that.

Only i didnt.

Infact i killed her with no kills, next to no cs as i was nomads start for the mid game snowball, lower level, etc etc, killed her when she was 4/0

Why was she 4/0? its bronze mate.

doesnt matter that i pinged mia, theres a ward in bot river, and the jungler is down there.

They are still going to somehow all fucking die to that ori."

And THAT is why i tilt.

And when i tilt i play like shit.

So yes me playing like shit is why im bronze, but i play like shit because my team mates are shit.

Have you looked at your own terrible scores?

YellowBrickRoad1 votes

Have you looked at the detailed breakdown of the games to see WHY i have those scores?

YellowBrickRoad1 votes

ill quote myself here, as i say this quite often.

"i could easily walk into lane kill 3 people via ksing, get a couple assists make sure i dont die, then just go play farm simulator then go afk in fountain.

my kda would be amazing, but id have accomplished absolutely nothing for my team, THAT is why score is a bullshit measurement if you dont know WHY and HOW they got that score."

On that note its very easy to cherry pick scores.

here let me do it for my own argument, 7/1/5 shaco mid, cs was shit but again nomads start

28/10/12 ez 70% kill participation, penta kill.

15/7/10 ez 60% participation

17/2/6 shaco 66% participation.

8/1/2 shaco

11/6/6 shaco

4/1/3 shaco

23/3/10 shaco

23/6/17 shaco

12/3/7 shaco

I just cherry picked games from the last 2 weeks, am i challenger yet

the rest of my scores are fairly average for my elo, not great, but not reasons to lose games over either.

for every game where you can just glance at my score and say "thats why you lost"

i can find a game where you can glance at my score and say "well thats why you won"

TLDR you blame team.

YellowBrickRoad1 votes

god its like talking to a brick wall.

yes yes i blame team.

Because when the team feeds someone to the point where they literally one shot you.

not even like "oh i failed to dodge these skill shots and died to their burst combo"

I mean say for instance draven walks up and auto e auto's you and suddenly you are colorblind (actually happened a couple games ago) before you even have a fucking chance to react to them.

Because thats the threshold for when i blame my team.

Have they fed to the point where i literally die before i can even comprehend whats going on.

If they havnt? then i can still carry them if i farm up enough.

oh and fyi when they are at the one shot point, i dont just throw in the towel and sit in fountain.

i keep pushing lanes, i know weve lost, but i still take a crack at it.

THAT is where my scores comes from, but hey youd know that if you took 5 seconds to actually use the fucking data you have access to instead of assuming shit.

"talking to a brick wall" literally blames team and has BRICK in his name.

YellowBrickRoad1 votes

again talking to a brick wall

I explain why i blame my team, and provide you instructions on how to obtain data to verify my claims.

You respond with "so you blame your team"

Im done with this conversion, youre almost as retarded as the teams this post is about, hence my fucking headache from talking to you.

meh at this point I have to agree. I dislike the state of the game right now. Snowball seasons are just not what I like. Matchmaking is already fucked especially in low elo and then you add on early game snowball meta = Hating this game right now.

Player Unknown Battle Ground is pretty fun and what me and my buddies play a lot of. It still in alpha or beta so it pretty buggy but... I am having fun with it. I login and play 1-2 games of league and get super mad then I just go play that and have some laughs and have fun. Pretty much don't even see a reason to play League right now.

So, first of all, you're in the B5, and I feel you. It's hell down here. I still believe there's a weird threshhold you have to cross before the dampening effect of "no where else to go" and the trolls stop effecting you.

Having said that, the way to get past it is playing that cheese-carry champs that allow you to ignore the garbage on your team and move ahead. You're playing ADC, and there really isn't an ADC that can do that right now (though I'd try Cait).

Anyway, you should join the Mid/Jungle train. As for me, I love support. So I'm stuck here forever.

Nah im playing mid and top. been a mid main for over a year now, rip in rip old akali passive </3

Lower elo i go the more tilted i get so i offset that by playing off meta champions.

Which makes it even sadder when i stomp people playing some bullshit like say full ap lucian top or something.

But hey its bronze, literally everything works if you know how to last hit and pressure a lane and have half decent mechanics.
