I feel like I'm ruining ranked for my teammates.

Fuyuhiko·May 29, 2015·1 votes·555 views

For those that care... I have gone from silver 1 to silver 4 in about 3-4 weeks... I mostly play Zyra and Shaco. I get ahead early game quite often, but after that I just seem to fall off, feed and effectively throw the game. I do not believe it's the teams I'm matched with. I've been consistently losing... -winning a game occasionally- but nothing like I did when I climbed from Bronze 4 to silver 1-2 before I started plummeting back down in rank... I have no idea why I'm posting this, or if I'm posting in the right place, I'm just distraught about this and feel I'm ruining games for people, I force myself to stay positive during games and always believe we can win, but at the end of the game there is always someone mocking me or telling me how shit I am and that I belong in bronze and how they are glad I'm losing rank, or letting me know that I threw 6 different times this game and due to my mistakes there is no possible way we can win and we will just lose so we should just surrender now. Idk.. Maybe I belong back in bronze, it has to be me that's losing these games, because I'm losing with consistency, even normals, I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong... Sorry... I just needed to vent because I feel like shit and I can't sleep. Sorry to clutter the forums with more complaining (not that I use the forums enough to even know if there is a lot of complaining), that was not and is not my intentions.

TL;DR- I feel I am ruining my league of legends and my teammates league of legends experience (whether it be ranked or not) and I guess any advice would be appreciated... Not that I know what kind of advice I am looking for.... Just tired of ruining games for others...

Are you able to play a game today?

I can be on in an hour or two, but I am nervous playing with others whom I don't know, due to a bad past experience.

find a coach to help you. Record a couple games and have someone tell you what you did wrong. Often times you will do well early but either get over aggressive and throw the lead or be under aggressive and let them outscale your shaco-playing ass.

Fucking me all the time as Shaco.

I get FB and then manage to pick up a few more kills and get so damn cocky I start feeding and by time I get my head on it's too late.

Another game i'll tell myself to just get FB and farm so it won't happen again then my laners die to a gank and it just goes downhill from there I spent so much time farming everyone else managed to get ahead of me through kills.

And that's how shaco is. I rarely see him in high plat, but when I do they're usually really good early. They will take first blood and maybe a second kill to get a lot of early damage, then keep camping and DONATE kills to get other people fed. If you keep all the gold, you have to be the one to carry. If you donate kills, now you're spreading wealth AND responsibility. The hardest thing to do as shaco is to close out games. You have to be such an asshole that the other team forfeits, or you have to snowball your team hard. If they stall the game out the best you can do as shaco, is build straight AD and try to instakill an enemy carry as a fight breaks out. If you can't do that repeatedly you've lost. Shaco's very delicate and he's someone you should only pick up after you've played a lot of jungle on more traditional champions. Pick another gank-heavy jungler who also scales decently to get a more consistent game going for yourself.

if your teammates deserve to win they would carry you especially since its low elo. BUtttttttttt to try to reduce the odds of people carrying you or you losing play easy champions. Annie mid is good or for jungle pantheon, recommended by lcs coach ls all the time point and click damage stun pen what else do ya need.

WoW, this is astonishing, let me tell you it is not you (at least not entirely) it is your teammates. I didn't think it's possible but this is the first genuine case I have seen of "bad teammates"

In all of your recent games your team looses from the start in CS and it goes downhill from there. The funny thing is, the two games you won were the same and you just won, because YOU got dragons and turned the game around.

You do die too often, but most of that is due to already overhelming enemy team. Try to not dive in senselessly if you arent sure though.

One thing though, you seem to prefer ganking Top. i think this leads you to loosing even more dragons to the enemy ganking bot.

Thank you and others for replying, I really didn't expect anyone to even care... I just feel as though it isn't my teams, I've climbed playing Zyra almost exclusively these past months and had a pretty good win rate, but now my win rate is almost at 50% and I'm losing in ranks I easily climbed out of before. I feel like I'm doing something I shouldn't be or something I use to not do... And it's holding my teams back. I do prefer to gank top, and will try to use this advice to remember to gank bot and put more pressure on dragons.

Thanks again for the reply, not only you but everyone else aswell.
