The Ranked System

I just realized - When I go on a winning streak, eventually I get paired up with "idiots" or so I thought...I honestly think of them as bots, sometimes less, since they play worse than bots. When I go on a huge win streak, eventually the "System" pairs me up with, sorry, but complete r%%%%%s, no offense to actual diagnosed...r%%%%%s. So I was Vayne, example out of the 20+ games the r%%%%%s were in. We won lane. Hard. I snowballed, roamed, and got a ton of kills for my team. Our top lane lost hard, our jungle was a potato, and our mid was a almost rotten banana. Volibear built tri force and thornmail when we was 3/7, bad idea. Brand went rabadons first, then fed like 4 deaths. Our jungle was a complete idiot, building offensive items first when he was WAY behind. He camped top only to feed Malphite more, to which Malphite came bottom, Braum and I 3v2ed and won easily, Braum and Vayne against Blitz, Ashe, and malph(cc is r341). So, as it goes, my team tries to fight every chance they get, to which I say "guys we can't fight, our jg and top are way underfed and cant withstand the dmg from vi" We lost. I got reported for "Offensive Language". My team told the enemies to report me for advising them how to build. I was trying to be nice...So, is this true? Everytime I carry and do well, win a few, I get r%%%%%s. Then it decides I get good teams again, but only for 3 games instead of the 5 I lost, making me go down. Went from b1 promos to s5 to bronze 4, just got demoted. Anyone up for duo? 1 less person that doesn't know what they're doing. ^_^

Yes, I've noticed the system also enjoys doing this to me. If I win 5 or so matches in a row, surely enough, I'll lose 3 or 4 in a row to offset the wins. Now losing because we were outmatched is one thing, but losing because of someone going 0-9-1 is a whole other issue.

As for the reporting, yes, it's over the top and people love doing it. Maybe it's because I'm older and we didn't have that whole "Stand up to bullies" thing going on. Maybe I was forced to develop a slightly thicker skin and can thus distinguish between trying to help and just outright being mean. Ignore command is Diamond 1 move.

Aw man, I thought I taught you better than this. :(

I guess you've been up to Bronze 1 and back to Bronze 4 a few times now. But if you insist on making that your teammates' fault, it's going to continue to be a struggle. I'm sure I pointed out that your cs is really good. And you seem to consistently do well when your lane opponent lets you get ahead. There are just a couple of things you want to work on, like being wary of opponents who are fed and reading the map to understand where you and your team should be.

You will sometimes have good teammates and sometimes have bad teammates. You won't be able to climb by fixing what they do. I've yet to hear a single Diamond or Plat player who said "I was stuck in Bronze for a long time until I learned the secret: you have to tell the other people on your team how to build and how to play and when to initiate." That's never the problem keeping people from climbing. That's never what you want to focus on.

Even when you have a good game where your team loses, don't take it too hard. And even when you have a bad game where your team loses, take responsibility for your mistakes. Always available for more coaching if you are interested!
