Low ELO Feeders

BALLSACK McGEE·Jan 25, 2017·1 votes·746 views

I have a suggestion that I think will drastically improve lower elo ranked games.

There should be some kind of feeding rule in place that after a certain number of lost games, terrible kdas or being reported for feeding and dc's...

Players are banned from ranked for a month at a time to practice in normals and told they need to practice

I placed bronze this season no surprise and the games I've had recently have been a nightmare. People that just shouldn't be playing ranked at all end up on my team 90% of the time, I hate the feel of bronze so much. I'm usually silver so w/e but still bronze feels like a nightmare in comparison

Giving them an official, "You f'ing suck, practice and stop ruining other people's games" would help the community drastically.

Think about it please :D

OP thinks that one of the banning from ranked games criteria should be a certain number of lost games... then complains about being in bronze.

Wouldn't that mean...

Does not compute. Does not compute.

Part of getting out of Bronze is recognizing that both teams suck just as bad and you're the only one who can tip that scale. You can't control your team, but you can control your own actions and decisions in-game.

As someone who has climbed out of Bronze myself twice solo, I am certain you can do the same once you accept that reality.

I wish you luck on your journey.

In low elo, you can only trust yourself and nobody else most of the time. People will tilt in low elo if they don't meet their personal goals in a game. So my only advice to you is play smart and don't overwork yourself to where you'll tilt at some time.

Feeders won't stop you from getting to where you belong. Yes the will make it take a lot longer than it should and yes they will be frustrating, but by playing consistently you will climb to where you belong over the course of the season.

Not even that, because the enemy has as much chance to have feeders as you. More if anything, because while they have 5 potential feeders, your team only has 4 (assuming you're not one yourself).

In theory yes, in reality no. There are a lot of times just due to sheer luck you will get several unwinnable games in a row and you might not get a balancing chain of free wins for months just due to random luck.

That's not not really how it happens, just how it may feel. Teammate skills are dice that are actually loaded in your favor, but because of our biases the times they work against us will leave a stronger mark than the times they were working in our favor. Also we tend to blame others before blaming ourselves. If you had several bad games in a row it more likely because of your own skills than because of teammates. Remember that the enemy has to deal with bad teammates just as often as you do, it makes no sense to think you in particular happen to be cursed with bad luck.

When you lose 3 games in a row because bot goes 0/20 every game, its bad luck. I'm not saying every loss is bc teammates but some definitely are.

Oh I'm not saying there aren't loses that are 100% on your teammates (sometimes just on one). I'm saying teammates don't prevent you from climbing, or even slow you down. Statistically we are helped by teammates (including the enemy getting bad teammates) more than we lose because of them.
