I'm useless.

I can't understand what the hell this game is doing to me but it is making me depressed for the past three months. I can't go a single, And I do mean even one game without being called useless or trash...At first I just ignored it with a smile on my face now I am for some reason all worked up and can't seem to focus anymore. All I can think of during every game now is how I am useless, I will never improve, And not a single person around me has the ability to be encouraging and only seems to want to put me down as much as possible...God I suck at all of this. Even my logic and clear venting is horrible.

Mute EVERY ONE at the start of the game. "but wait, I dont want to mute them because they might have something useful to say" How often does that actually happen though? Remember everyone you play with is in the same elo as you.

General advice: I see you like to run teleport and ignite and you play tank champions. Tank champions usually are pretty immobile and don't need kills to be useful later on, so id suggest you ditch ignite for flash. Second, if you really want to improve, you need to work on your cs. Either go to the practice tool to work on it, or the next few games you play REALLY focus on that. Don't worry about kills, don't worry risky trades, don't worry about lane pressure as much, just get that last hit on minions. Finally, maybe watch some streamers. Solorenektononly is a great one for learning more about the game (don't worry, he plays more than just reneketon)

If you came to the boards for a sense of self security, you've come to the wrong place. Where I see that you are all down and everything it's time to man the fuck up in a video game. Either don't play League of Legends, or keep the bitching to yourself. Every game, There is always that one guy that will call someone useless.

Looking at your stats, yeah you are pretty useless, a true hindrance to any team you end up on, and I don't say that lightly.

Either put in the effort to to improve by doing some research, or quit the game.

Then stop playing ranked where you cost people to waste time playing because you're bad.

welcome to league of legends . this is all normal here .

Your worth is not determined by what people say in an online video game. You are loved, treasured, and valuable. Insecurity is a vicious beast and League makes it all the worse if you haven't dealt with the depths of your insecurity before playing it.

Here's your na.op.gg: https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=darkmind1212

Looking through your games, I think your CS is the biggest problem. You are regularly only getting 3 CS per min. You want that to be around 7-8. No cs > less gold > less items > champion is weaker. I promise you, if you are getting 6-7 CS a min you will be a factor in your games.

You are doing good with Khazix, Illaoi, Naut, Garen, Xin and Talon. I would stick to those picks since you are above 50% winrate on those guys. Practice GP and Sol more if you want to play them as your winrates are really low.

I looked at your match history. Are you trolling?

The Whamboozler3/18/2017, 5:03:35 PM2 votes

Stop playing this game. I'm not being rude here... I'm saying this game is not worth your time or getting depressed over. It's a freaking game. You will never go pro. Your elo will not make you money or get you laid. You gain nothing by raising your ranking in it or improving your skills. No matter what rank you reach, some asshole will be better than you and tell you that you're bad. People still tell pro players that they're bad.

If the game isn't fun for you, give it up. It's just a festering cesspool of toxic, obnoxious trolls and self-entitled, arrogant twats. Find something you enjoy playing and shake league off like it's the flu. You do not NEED to play this game. You do not NEED to be good at this game. This game is meaningless if you don't enjoy it. Find something else to play. This shitty game and the shittier people who play it are NOT worth your mental health.

Don't be sad my bro, as long as you are not Faker, people WILL call you trash. You think some diamond people here think they themselves are good? They can barely manage to hit CS against Challengers. The same applies to Bronze vs Gold, it's all relative you see:) I am sure haters gone hate this

Sounds like you're surrounded by underdeveloped children with temper issues and severe aspbergers. That's not going to change, no matter how good you get. Don't worry about improving so much as learning to tune them out (or mute them). Remember that they have real problems, while yours is just not being the best at a videogame (it's all relative), which in the end means nothing.

New Tool Album3/18/2017, 9:09:08 PM1 votes

this game is incredibly toxic by nature, the best you can do is mute them, or go play something else, there are much better gaming experiences outside of league [slayer-jinx-wink]

Dude, i know how you feel.

if someone says anything negative you feel really bad and tilted right? I have a solution to your problem.

do /mute all at the start of the game. Trust me, just do it. And keep saying gj/wp/ nice things when your team does nice things. Don't wait for your team to encourage you. you should encourage them. And you will feel much better about yourself if you encourage them. And you can't see if they flame you.

OP, you're okay.

you're putting too much value into a game you are playing with STRANGERS you have NEVER MET in person and giving their opinions validity by giving those opinions attention.

when you walk along a sidewalk and see a huge dogshit...do you call it out to the public or do you step around it quietly? The players who would scream about the monster turd on the sidewalk are the ones just looking for attention or value to their opinions...

A sensible person would say nothing, bag the shit and go on their way knowing that nobody else is gonna step in the shit.

You are a player like the rest of us. sometimes we get shit on.

ignore their opinions and just do you. you will get better with time and improve.

But you will get shit on. you will get hurt trying to get better. but don't worry about the shit on the sidewalk, clean it up or step around it. but don't focus on it...nobody got anywhere notable worrying over shit.

If they're not helping you...step around em and avoid.

you have worth and I'm quite certain could make an acceptable Ramen. fk the haters.

You really gotta ask yourself "why do I care what these random people say?" If they're in a game with you then they are just as bad as you.

Chønklord3/21/2017, 9:43:11 PM1 votes

just /mute all at the start of each game. Trust me it helps, even those of us with the thickest of skins can get affected by enough toxicity and flaming, especially if you're stuck in a spiral of losing games or playing poorly (because then you're not only hard on yourself, but start to believe what others say about your performance, too).

Don't sweat it, don't let others' egos and shitty attitudes determine your self worth. Not in this game, not in life or anywhere else. You are you, and only you control your words, actions and abilities. You don't need the respect or approval of anyone.

Remember, the majority of these kids that are talking shit about/to you, have problems and issues of their own (both in-game and in their lives), and are flawed human beings just like the rest of us. No one is perfect, all are flawed, but that's the beauty of it. You can always strive to do better, be better, and there's no one out there that has the power or authority to criticize you on that, because they are no better off than you or me. It's all in your perception of things, and what value you assign to the words and actions others send your way.

Yep Illaoi jungle. No one is going to flame for you feeding on that. The league community is very very understanding.

Watch videos that have a guide on your favorite champions and ''how to climb out of bronze'' they teach you about map awareness and wardings, CS all the basics and theres always going to be people calling you trash no matter what
