Hello everyone, I'm a former gold, now silver 1 player mid/jungle main. (btw i didnt know where to ask this). I was in silver for most of season 3 when I continuously went up the ladder by and had a 60% win rate and finally reached gold fairly easily in around 50 or so games. Then once I hit gold it was preseasonish so i got the benefits but then I went heavily on tilt. Any toxic player/misplay/taxing for no reason would get me riled up and I would be unable to win because why would you win with such a bad team? I grew disoriented and my former attitude of "you deserve everything you get" became "ffs" and "wtf is that". I lost so many games i went back to silver 1 and now i think im in elo hell where i lose more elo than i gain from a match. I'd really like advice as to how to reverse that. Is it playing a lot of games to get even with the elo gains and losses or what? Not really looking for advice like "roam" or "ward" because from experience I know neither of those actually are correct. Thank you for any advice/criticisms. If you need more info lemme know.

If you lose more points when you lose than you gain when you win, that's a normal thing with the system: it just means your MMR has become low. The way to reverse this is just to start winning more than you lose, and then eventually it will even out and come back to what is was before.

As to tips for winning / morale? That's my vision of the game when I play ranked: sometimes, you'll find yourself in games that you have absolutely no chances of winning that you basically lost when the system matched you with some bozos (AP Urgot mid, fizz jungle and nocturne top come to mind), while in some other games you basically won at champ select. Even if you were to afk, you'd still win cause the rest of your team is snowballing so hard. Those don't come buy very often, most of the time it's a gradient in between those 2 extremes. Some really hard to lose or win games, close matches etc.

When you stumble across those impossible to win games, just take it in stride, "bad RNG". Just be sure that if there is ever hope to win, give it your all. Your and-game decision making has to be clutch. If you see teammates arguing or playing the blame game, just tell them to stop. Don't hesitate to use smart pings to make your intentions known at any given point in the game.

Also, find a duo queue partner. Preferably play 2 separate lanes, so if you always win lane, then you'd have 2 lanes winning. If you both lose your respective lanes, then you only have yourself / duo queue partner to blame. Hope that helps.
