Fact: 9 players have a bigger impact than 1.

finally!!!

a league player who isn't a complete idiot

im tired of people saying learn to carry when there is the hard truth that some games can't be carried and in bronze, most games can't be carried carrying is more common in silver and gold because in those ranks, the bottom line is that your team will try to work with you

Some games can't be carried you're right but the majority of players can look at it as "their team has potential for 5 bad players and my team only has potential for 4 bad players (since you're the fifth player)" which you should eventually climb if you consistently play well

Bump.

If one player dies 100 times I'm pretty sure he's having an even bigger impact.

It's a funny thing to me because if the 9 others are so extremely inconsistent that you alone can't make the difference anymore then it truly is a diceroll game. And yes that depends on your skill but it's possible to become so inconsistent that a silver player might not get out of it. xD

Imagine matches where you constantly have: 90% chance to win because of teammates and opponents 10% chance to win because of teammates and opponents NONE of them are possible for you alone to make a difference to unless you're really good. (just an EXTREME EXAMPLE :) )
