Can Someone Explain Why I Lose So Much LP?

Stephenizgod··1 votes·291 views

I have a more than positive winrate in ranked, yet i get 17 Lp and lose 22 Lp, even when i was on a 4 win streak. Each one netted me 16-17 LP but then i finally lost and it was 24 LP... I failed my promos and now i am at 64 LP, thats 2-3 back to back wins i need to play to get back up to my promos...

That means that riot thinks you should be at a lower bracket.

Damn that is seriously unfair... if you remove all the AFK's, feeders, and trolls i would be winning like 80% of my games... Low Elo is freaking garbage.

it usually has to do with a lower than average mmr for your league. you could check your mmr at opgg.

My suggestion though is a little different. Stop worrying about LP LP is like Pyrite. looks valuable but is worthless. your mmr determines your climb and your mmr will only rise if you become a better player. If your winrate is positive thats a good start. keep it up, improve your own gameplay and you'll climb in no time

My problem is I keep losing because of AFK's, feeders, and trolls. If you look at my past 20 losses, maybe 6 or 7 of those were because i performed terribly or they were directly my fault (i lost to a Nasus as Garen, which made me sad). The rest is because of a teammate or teammates who seem to be trying to lose. Normally I wouldn't care, like in Normals, but my MMR is being determined by how unlucky i am with teammates. In the past 10 games ive played, I have had 6 AFK's (2 of them were on the enemy team though) so its almost completely out of my control 60% of the time...

let me fix this for you so you can climb:

My problem is THAT I THINK I keep losing because of AFK's, feeders, and trolls.

i really dont mean to be demeaning but you are not where you are elowise because your teams are bad. let go of that notion, improve your own gameplay and you will climb.

I agree, i have a lot to improve on, and i also agree most of the reason I lose is because i get disheartened when top/mid lane is 0/10 at 5 minutes, but that doesn't seem fair. Why am I being punished because my team lost the game before it began? I don't play champions that can carry, i don't think I should have to change my champion pool and playstyle simply because I can't 1v5 them and take all objectives by myself... if i could do that I wouldn't be complaining about Low Elo, my issue is I can't climb by improving my skills alone, I need my teammates to be just as skilled. The current state of the game is "pick a snowbally champ and get several kills, end the game by 15 minutes" so when Top or Mid has already given up 7+ kills it feels like the game is over since that enemy is now pressuring ALL lanes by themselves.

if i don't initiate no one will, If i do initiate i do it alone because no one will follow, if i try to split my team will either run in 1 by 1 and die or not push so i get hunted down, if i try to take objectives i need to spam pings and only 50% of the time will they listen, I try to be the shot caller but they call me noob or ignore me, etc.... I need to find away to carry my entire team, but so far i havent found it and im just continually losing, so this is where the frustration is.

That was a nice post though and CS is definitely something you can always improve on
