Dear Riot, I Think Your Placements This Season Are Disheartening People.
EDIT: So here is this really awesome post about how they are doing the placements this season: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/Llp9xElp-the-placement-answers?
Hmm so it seems like im getting a lot of teammates in ranked who are either not trying or incredibly agitated/angry.
My third provisionals, my third loss: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1706974567/206176227?tab=overview
18min i died the first time and at the time i had the most CS on my team by a lot, Kalista started to get a bit more around 15ish min. At this point Lucian was 9 and 1. It just seemed like our jungler and bot lane werent really even trying (our Leona was doing their best but to no avail). Mid and Bot turret fell before 12 min. Im honestly not QQing, I go into games expecting to lose but i try my hardest to win so that i feel more accomplished. Losing isnt even saddening for me, i dont care about these 10 games i want to get placed then Duo with my friend (we want to do our 10 games solo so we can get placed on our own skill rather then the fact we are a team). I already know ill be placed in Bronze so i wont be sad with the outcome, but i think a lot of people are very disheartened by this and tend to not try their hardest or are just not caring anymore, why should they care where their team gets placed when they were thrown from high silver-low gold to Bronze?
My First Game: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1704234504/206176227?tab=overview. This one was sad, we couldnt pull together as a team despite our Amumu trying his hardest to turn a disadvantageous stomp into a close win. He almost succeeded but our team was not cooperating at all.
My Second Game: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1704781368/206176227?tab=overview. I won my lane but my bot lane lost theirs. It also seemed like they werent even trying :(. I feel worst for our Lissandra, he was really good with his mechanics and im sad i couldnt help him carry.
Anyone else noticing this? Im not talking about bad teammates, im talking about teammates who literally look like they do not care or are just not trying.
Provisionals Update
Currently at 2 wins 3 losses, the two that i won was full of great teamwork and mostly positive comments. Teamwork is the only reliable way to win a game :D
At 3 and 3 right now :D only 4 more to go.
