Just sick of people not trying because it's preseason.

I want to get some good games in. not saying it doesn't happen.

But even I feel like what's the point of solo Q right now if in an unknown short period of time the elo will reset elo.

Regardless of getting mmr it feels pointless

hahahaha im 9-3 in an 11-22 game and now we have 2 afkers so 3v5 Wtf is this game. This happens occasionally in ranked but wayyy to often in preseason

EDIT: also MMR may matter still but it's hidden meaning a lot less people care and won't care untill the season starts.

Even if there are say 5% more trolls from preseason it just makes it that much harder to climb elo

Well it's a soft reset not a hard one. You only move about halfway back towards league average, so Games still matter.

I'm sick of the ridiculous Games in normals though, where everyone has such different skill levels because they're coming from ranked and some have improved a lot and others haven't.

So I also hope season 5 starts soon

I know, I hate normals too. I'm just so bad at this game I need to get carried by the silvers to ever win.

Well frankly I'm complaining because I just had a game where I was 4/0/1 adc with my support 0/0/5 at the 8 minutes mark with the first drag and bottom turret already, and we had to surrender at 20 due to a 0/13/0 mid and a 1/7/6 jungler.

I.e. That I'm getting Games where my teammates suck so hard I can't carry despite playing about the best I'm capable of.

Sorry to hear that you're one of those teammates though... doesn't surprise me that you need silvers to carry you.

Yeah, because it's impossible for someone that loses games to ever do well, right? Let alone do well and get dragged down by other people. You probably never have bad games.

Not bad Games like the ones I complain about. Sure, I get out cs' d sometimes, even occasionally die / give up first blood. But then I just try to farm and let my team carry. Sometimes I'll give up another kill, so I'll just hug tower. Sometimes they'll tower dive for another kill, so I just farm back in my jungle.

The point is, when I have a bad game, it's carry-able. If my teammates are doing well, my Lane opponent isn't going to get fed so hard he can just one shot the whole team. I don't mind when my teammates lose Lane or give up a few kills, what I mind is when they give up excess kills and when you ask them to wait for you and to stay with you because they're too far behind they say no and just push their wave as fast as possible to get caught out and die again.

I mean honestly, can you say you've never had a player do so badly you just can't understand what they're doing because you've never done that badly? I can see how someone falls really far behind in Lane, I can't see how a 0/9/0 decides it's a good idea to push mid solo to the enemy turret with no vision on the enemy team. I can't see how someone has first pick, bans 3 mid laners, goes mid, then complains all game that their mid opponent is OP (if you're first pick, you should be competent in the lane, and you got to ban 3 champions...).

I admit, it took a bit a bit of scouring through your match history. Mostly good games, a couple iffy ones, you're not very good with Hecarim...and then, 2/12/4 Ahri, a month ago according to op.gg.

Gg, thanks for playing.

Should have figured you'd be someone who thinks kda is all that matters...

Instead, you could look at the detailed match history. Have up first blood to a gank, so yes clearly not a good game but still exactly as I described. Care to notice that 6 of the 12 deaths came after 20 minutes, that 9 of the 12 came after 10 minutes and were from champions other than my Lane opponents (I.e. I was dying to their fed adc in teamfights at drag, in my Lane, etc...).

It's exactly what I said, when I play bad, I am carry-able. If my other lanes were playing well, such as the game I described where I was up 5 kills bot Lane at 8 minutes, they could handle a 1/3/1 mid laner at 10 minutes. The difference is when your other lanes are losing, you can't sit back and just try to save your kda, you need to try to change something. Their adc was fed, every teamfight was basically me trying to dive their adc and failing - again, carry-able if a teammate were able to.

And I've had bad Games, terrible kda Games, but again, if no one on the team looks able to carry the philosophy of just trying not to feed doesn't work.

W.r.t. Hecarim... He's my jungler. A jungler doesn't feed a Lane. In the new jungle, which is as far as you've looked, a jungler is super dependent on teammates. My hecarim Games have been: First gank, get an assist. Second gank, get an assist first Lane you ganked dies in Lane second Lane you ganked dies in Lane other Lane dies in Lane. Everyone calling for gank you gank, team doesn't follow, you die

Teamfights: hecarim, initiate. No one follows damage for aoe heal, thus no tankiness = dead.

Too team dependent.

gg, thanks for playing. You said something earlier about an 0/9/0 continuing to overextend. I don't see how that is literally any different. If you cannot contest the objective, you do not fight. You split and farm, try to become worth something. You know that. Continually feeding the ADC and not trying to catch up is not carryable.

Fyi, I can't see your detailed matchmaking, because it was a normal game and we're not friends.

trying to dive their adc at my team's request I.e. teamfights we need to target twitch, ahri you're the assassin

Besides, even if it wasn't by request, it is different. A 0/9/0 solo pushing a Lane and getting caught is way different than an assassin diving an adc in a teamfight. Also, you read everywhere here that it's better for all 5 teammates to commit to the same thing, if 4 teammates want to try to sneak Dragon the 5th one better go too, when the enemy team catches you, you die. And you can't exactly just not contest your inhibitor turrets.

MMR still matters, the higher you get now the higher you get reset to.
