The league community though...

As I near the end of my days of playing league that glorious suicide for spending so much time on the game draws ever closer.

The players I keep getting stuck with are confusing me? Is this supposed to be an online game or tinder for %%%%%%%%%s?

Welcome to the internet where "normal" is the weird shiet.

I like the people who use salty to say someone is mad. You can tell education completely failed them and the only way to get down to their brain power is to be hit in the head by a truck full of bricks, knocked head first through a brick wall and land in a vat of intelligence dissolving acid.

The word is being used as intended, at least partially.

I don't particularly find anything wrong with people using "salty" as long as they are not actually the one being mad at the time.

i find people who are telling other people they are salty are just compensating, a last ditch effort to try and make the other guy seem worse than he is. Like when i tell people " wtf? you were right next to me," at full health/manna and no CD's " why did you not help me? " and they say it was my fault for going in alone (-_-) ( like they literally were with in attack range, but you know "to far away" ) and if you try and puush it any further they tell you to quit flaming, being salty, you are a nub/bad, etc.... but you know, its still your fault ....

Wait, the education system is only failing certain people? I'm pretty sure that the only valuable shit i have learned in life was from places not pertaining to the public education system... things like the BSA and wise people (those things you don't find in schools) and actual jobs and family ...

Bronze IV to Platinum V this season. Look inward to find the solution to climb.

Its not inward

Its not a game of skill that belief comes from conditioning. Research Pavlov and youll see what modern game companies are doing to you.

I play well 99% of the time and can't climb past S4 because carry is a myth. Its something players who happened to rank up say to help with their self esteem.

I understand modern gamers are desperate to find validation but math means more than your opinion. In games you "carry" your team was carryable. My teams are uncarryable. I've lost games 36/4 on Lee Sin because math and not game of skill.

Like I said though I understand why you believe skill raises rank. So hopefully you do some research and learn from this post if not I understand.

You ADC a lot, why not get a support duo? As such, you should be able to carry games if you're a good adc, especially with a mildly talented support to get you fed. If you're having a lot of issues as an ADC late game, then it's probably from lack of rotation or positioning during team fights.

A good support could help alleviate those final 2 issues. As such, you can still climb. It's a process, if Riot wanted you to do it in a day, they'd change promos.

This article is not well organized. I am tired and lost all my games today despite being the best player on both teams in every game.

This is not true. As I stated Carry is a myth because players want to believe that losing is what bad players do and winning is what good players do. Game companies like RIOT know this and know players who aren't good and have no value or skill want to win just as much as those who do. The primary difference being that their are 1000 bad players for every good one and they each have the same ability to spend on the game. So if RIOT makes a good game that takes skill they lose over half their player base in the first year. However if they make a game of no skill and constantly condition the player to believe they are winning because they are good they both retain players and encourage the player to invest money into their time in the form of novelty skins. Given that it is a fundamental belief of most persons that they would never waste their time so the extraordinary amount of time they invest in league further conditions them to believe they are playing a good game.

As for carrying this is how it works.

Each champion given lets say recommended items has a tank cap and damage cap. Meaning

You can deal X: BURST Y: DPS and take Z: DMG

Now you don't get to see the formula for winning and losing that exists... because game of simple math and not skill.

But here is a simple lesson. Let's assume we hit the typical surrender point of 27 minutes. A decent ADC against a winning team will "CARRY" by getting X kills in lane and farming relatively well. Meanwhile that ADC's jg is feeding. Top is feeding and Mid is feeding. Given the ramping that an ADC requires to be valuable your initial items are relatively worthless. Assassins will one shot you. Top will be invincible to you. Jungle depending on the champ will either be invincible or Destroy you slightly slower than Mid.

You have to realize your team is feeding because they have no clue how to play. That doesn't magically change in teamfights. They just add more gold due to assists gold generation. So the 290 DPS that an ADC deals to a 50 armor target at 27 minutes is nothing compared even the auto attack and afk that the enemy team can do. All they have to do is realize you are your teams only damage and just go straight for you past all your useless teammates and kill you then turn and kill the useless teammates. Your teammates won't realize your value. They can't learn. If they could they wouldn't feed.

What people don't realize is that when carrying is successfully done they are making up for a minor performance gap in a single player on the team. Or a smaller gap in performance on two members. Were talking small like 90% of what they should be doing. But as I say in all my articles modern gamers are conditioned to believe they are good. No modern gamer wants to admit they are winning because they game isnt about skill.

Look how stunned people are at the growth of ESPORTS. They don't see the correlation at all. Look at real sports everybody is getting worse across the age groups... yet keep getting "better and better" at video games... Not true... players are getting worse at sports and other endevours of skill and games are getting easier and pandering more. I mean you PAY for these games at some point you pay of course they are going to let you win.

i see this often, in games i am often the best player on my team and the one making best decisions. I wish I recorded every game i have played with in the past few month because i could make a video of snip-its of every team fight im in and how, weather im front or back line, I always get focused by the best, or most fed, person on the other team and usually die first depending on how important i am, or how bad my team is.

That does not make you good, this game is not about skill its about not fucking up. This system has basically a procedure that if you screw it up then your screwed unless the enemy screws up too. In a game focused on team play this community hates to play as a team.

If you hate solo queue so much, do ranked 5s as a team? Or possibly 3v3 as a legit team. Should help alleviate your teamwork issues.
