My First Ranked Match Alone
So, here's my story...
I, an unranked player with about 55 normal wins decided to try out a ranked match with a skilled player, and although we lost, it was still a good game where the opposing team was simply more experienced, despite being mostly bronze players. So, today i decided to go experience ranked alone... yeah... well done me. i checked the ranks of my teammates and opponents. it was as follows:
My team:
- gold 5 (7LP)
- silver 3 (100LP
- unranked (0 LP)
- silver 3 (100LP)
- silver 1 (0LP)
Opposing team:
- Silver 2 (58LP)
- Silver 2 (60LP
- Silver 3 (13LP)
- Silver 2 (43LP)
- gold 5 (29LP)

I happen to be playing thresh in this game, and i also happen to be in the same lane as the gold 5, and we were up against the 2 silver 2's. What followed was a long and painful attempt to not die while suffering 250ms, and get shat on by my teammate. You can only imagine the fun I had trying not to mess up, but i did, and when I did, the gold 5 didn't hide his negativity towards me. The game only got worse for us when one of our players disconnected, so that took some attention away from me. Honestly, I never felt so lost in a game where i played support. My score at the end was 0/10/4. A nice D+... worst score I ever got with thresh.
Now, i understand that not all games go as planned, or sometimes you are just having a bad game, but against these odds... how is there a chance for me to even think of competing when going up against such overwhelming odds, and playing with players that play on such a high level that they are almost guaranteed to label me as a liability? I am trying to improve myself as a player, and trying to find out if i belong in bronze, but it's almost as if the game just says: "nope, you don't belong in gold or silver, therefore no rank." Yay me...
Hopefully the next few games will go better, but i doubt it. ~~~~
