Slow Rise, Fast Fall Theory

Hello! I am one of those people who are disgusted with the MMR system. But what makes me truly disgusted is what I call the Slow Rise, Fast Fall Theory.

What I am saying is,

If you stay in one ladder too long (like for me it is Silver 3), then you will be matched with complete and total feeders until you are demoted.

Alright, so let me explain this.

I began the other day in a nice win streak. I climbed all the way up to 86 LP. Next game is promos, right? That's when the mega-feed Rammus Rammus , and the "I'm just gonna run and die because I can't climb" Sona Sona enter the game. Load into the game, three of the enemy team get so horrendously fed, end of story.

So then I win two more games, and I am still climbing, getting anxious because Silver 3 has always been my bane for two seasons. If I get here, this theory ALWAYS kicks into effect.

Queue me up, I have to mid. So I pick Cassiopeia Cassiopeia into Mordekaiser Mordekaiser , and I get two kills right off from the start, not first blood, but fairly early. I am feeling confident. Queue in a Leona Leona who goes in for no God damn reason, and she's 0/12. We had a chance, a good chance, and that was our bane. Everyone else starts the fall behind, and in the end my lead turned into feed (rhymes, haha!).

Next game, honestly it was shit teamwork. I got Graves Graves fed early as Morgana Morgana support. We just couldn't pull a win out, not much blame there.

I won the next game! Hoping this Theory will cease to be a theory!

Next game...Kennen Kennen feeds Irelia Irelia . She's 18/3. All hope is lost.

Next game...dumb fucks Garen Garen and Amumu Amumu take on the enemy team....all by themselves...at least 5 times.

Next game...Draven Draven , "YOU SO BAD MORGANA Morgana , GOD YOU SUCK ASS GO LEARN A DIFFERENT ROLE. SHACO Shaco IS BAD. MEGA FEEED" Me: "How about you stfu and leave Shaco Shaco alone, he's made mistakes, lets just move on and work together. Draven (all): report Morgana Morgana , toxic as shit. ... Draven was 1/10. I secured way more kills than he did. Oh well.

Just played a game as Katarina Katarina with literally the worst Vi Vi and Riven Riven I've seen in a while. Oh well, I tried.


I will grant that I am no where near good. I can't carry games by myself. But it is fishy how certain tiers you have to speed out of, or risk being demoted so quick. I am at 0 LP, about to be demoted, and I am pissed.

Because this fucking theory is never failing.

Guess I'll be seeing you guys in Silver IV soon.

Edit: I put all champions with photos to prevent those tl:dr people who never want to read anything. Enjoy the white space!!
