I fucking give up on ranked

Junkο··6 votes·1,229 views

In 1 game we have Talon support, Yasuo that thinks Sion is Swain and Malphite and Draven who flame horribly in all caps after feeding 5 kills in 5 minutes.

But nah it's completely my fault that i cannot climb in rank!

Yeah that's one game, but want some real advice (and not just the get good noob advice)? If you have a game like that take about 30 mins to an hour before playing your next match so you aren't so tilted. Also just cause you lose a little LP and gameplay time don't be afraid to dodge things like that Talon support pick (or in a recent case for me a TF adc into a Cait/Blitz lane). It will help your sanity a lot if you just avoid wasting time in matches like that altogether. Don't get me wrong those sort of matches can be won, but it's up to you if you really want to take that chance, and if you do you can't fault anyone but yourself for staying in a troll match to begin with.

I mean no disrespect in any of this posting, I honestly hope this helps.

A) You can carry by yourself around 80% of the games you are in if you are a league under your "real" elo.

B) Even from support you can carry. (Don't discredit talon support, and do what he doesn't do for the rest of the team. You will help a lot more than doing what he already does.)

C) Don't ever, EVER start arguing. EVEN IF YOU ARE RIGHT. People will just start raging and stop actually playing. If people start arguing, say them to stop and say to mute each other (and do it YOURSELF). Not seeing any arguing will help you focus on the game.

D) "My team just deserve to lose anyway", Finish your game AND STOP PLAYING as soon as you get this thought. There is nothing more than other loses if you keep playing.

Talon went 0/9/0 so there really isn't i can do but discredit him. And i rarely argue, i usually keep negative thoughts to myself then either take it out by trolling on forums or reddit or i just talk to my friends about random stuff till i laugh the game off.

Pretty sure you had bad games too. And learn to dodge. dodging doesn't affect your MMR as much as lost game (not to say doesn't affect it at all)

Junkο1 votes

Which games should i dodge? Atm i usually dodge when i'm forced into supporting because i simply can't play it, but otherwise people are usually really nice in champ select.

Karlyr1 votes

You tell me. You seemed to have a pretty big problem about talon support.

Junkο1 votes

Good point, though i already dodged a game before that and i didn't feel like dodging again.

To my knowledge, while dodging does hit your LP, it doesn't actually affect MMR.

Do you have something that says otherwise? I've been wondering more about how these two systems interact lately, but haven't found much.

I dodged a troll on my block list last night...twice.

This morning I went to play and that same troll is first pick.

Guess it's all just coincidence.

Today THREE of my games have had FULL GAME AFK players.

Yea well what if you just can't win no matter what? Every game I play is over from the start. Every lane but MAYBE one or 2 feeds. Not just feeds, but feeds hard.

At 7 minutes its already 0/8, dragons gone and everyone is down 30 farm.

There's no way. It's literally impossible.

I generally advise people not to play ranked League of Legends. It's broken in a number of different ways that make it extremely unenjoyable to play. Just stick with normal games, where game-breaking bugs, badly behaved teammates, bad matchmaking, afk/dc/trolls only affect the one game at a time (not your standing), and you don't even have to deal with Riot's awful ranking system.

That would be a good option if Riot didn't make normal draft a prisoner island for ranked restricted players.

Well, yes, generally one shouldn't take League of Legends seriously at all, but Ranked just makes it worse.

Just play blind pick. Simple as that -__-

Junkο1 votes

And get stomped by Nid/LB/Zed/Seuj/Vi and the like because they are way too strong compared to other champions or get idiots that play them and copy pros and expect free wins? No thanks

I have not played a ranked gave ever and plan to keep it that way.

My friend was Gold I last season and got bronze 3 after winning his promos 7-3. The pain he went through was enough to get me to never play ranked.

Ranked is about long term averages. You are the only common factor in all of your games, and so if you cannot climb the ranked ladder over the course of many months you are either at the spot you are supposed to be or you are doing something that is inhibiting your ability to climb.

We all run into games like that one, which includes the people who do climb in rank every day. At the end of the season a single game won't matter in the slightest.

Ask not what your team can do for you, but what you can do for your team.
