Do you guys ever get huge ass losing streaks no matter how well you play? I feel like it happens way too often for me, where everyone on my team gets absolutely dumpstered. I never see 20-5 games that are in my favor and it happens like once ever 4 games for the enemy team.

Even if this is bad luck, it happens way too often for me to think that I'm just unlucky. It's so annoying to see someone who you wrecked in lane get fed off of your shit teammates and end up winning the game.

Yeah, if you play enough games, you'll randomly get people that are all outclassed at the same time. Gotta shrug it off and keep playing. I have a rule where I quit for the day if I lose 3 in a row. Either matchmaking is out to get me, I'm doing something terribly wrong, or my morale is going to deteriorate to the point where I play badly anyway. Take a break and reset your brain, then come back and stomp a game or two!

solo queue

There is a cure for this cancer. Find a team so you can coordinate and use voice chat.

If you're getting win streaks, you should expect to get losing streaks. The MMR system's goal is to position you at ranks that give you as close to a 50% win rate as possible.

Don't assume that your teammates are getting smashed because they're bad. Often, the other team is just better. If you win, do you assume the other team was bad? Because if you only win against bad players, that means you can't consider yourself good just by merit of beating them. If you're sure they're good and you're just better, then the opposite can and should be true of when your team loses.

(Btw, I disobeyed. I'm unranked :p)
