Why you are losing games (and how to fix it)
Disclaimer: I write this mostly to vent, don't take me to serious but take it into consideration if you would like
This only applies to D5 ranks and below. League Of Legends of us "low elo" players is 50-80% an emotional game. If you are <D5, you only lose games because you let your emotions take over the mouse and keyboard. I have see countless times, as many of you can relate, players who legitimately do not want to win or play. And why would day? If I am flaming players, what incentive do they have to play? A win? not nearly enough. I play league to have a good time and relax from my high pressure military occupation. I do not have the energy to flame other players because they are "bad" Here is an interesting fact, the people you play with in your ranked games are very close to your skill level. If you are not at least 2 divisions away from the players on your team you are basically at the same skill level. If you do not want to play with the "awful" players in plat (top 8% of the ladder) then go to diamond where you will still find the same "awful players". The everyone is bad except me mentality is an unsustainable, unpractical, and frankly insane way to think of your games you are losing. So I challenge you, instead of flaming other players why don't you instead blame yourself for every mistake made in the game. I can not control how you play and you can not control how I play. Calling me bad is not going to make me play better it will actually do the exact opposite. So even if at first, you think your team made an awful play. just think, " how could I have made this bad play less negative?" or "what could have I done to avoid that situation from happening." In conclusion, I am a terrible player, I believe mechanically, there is so much to be desired. I misplays all the time. however, I have been able to climb from bronze 3 to gold 1 in more than one season by what I believe to be just my positive attitude. I have much to say to people who spend more time typing and calling me bad than just playing the game. During the match, I refrain from saying anything at all. I will throw them the kitchen sink of my mind post game( just as a way to vent) But all I want is a decent experience playing league of legends.
Again, I am no all-mighty, enlightened league grandmaster. I am just an average G1 player. I just really needed to vent this out or it will bother me all damn day tomorrow for some reason. I feel just a little better now =)
P.S I know my ideas where all over the place, I was just typing as the words came to my mind.
