How am I supposed to become a better player?

SadnessIncarnate··2 votes·3,209 views

I don't understand how am I supposed to improve my behaviour when the typical game is like this (this was my first game played today after a month of not playing):

I said jungle and went twitch, xin zhao of course says jungle like 15 seconds later and instalocks, and I could've gone adc, and most ppl will hate me for this, but I said jungle first.

He then starts flaming me and that he said jg first, typical bullshit.

Top: Aatrox Mid:Brand Bot:Lulu

Game starts, brand (his premade ofc) starts saying that I instalocked and to report me, I said he is lying and that xin zhao instalocked, then the enemy Kai'Sa said to rep the enemy zed for instalocking.

Picked up my red while brand was trying to steal it, went to bot and ganked Lulu, and of course coming from someone who has "Katarina" in their name tag (the Kai'Sa) starts saying "REPORTING YOU FOR INSTALOCKING, CAN'T EVEN 2v1", and then kha'zix ganks and Kai'Sa's most famous quote from that game "DIENOOOOOOOOOOOOB", spammed the chat with it of course, I get fed and then the typical Aatrox with the justicar skin starts feeding the hell out of zed and kha'zix, how am I supposed to kill 2 assassins who one shot me? Anyways, the game goes on and kha is like 18/0, and at the end he is 35/2.

Kai'Sa starts getting fed by my other teammates and starts saying "ez" when she kills me, and of course when I killed her she says "U CAN'T 1V1?!?!?!"

Basically we get steamrolled with me with the most kills on our team.

Now I am asking you, other league players, how the HELL am I supposed to enjoy this game? (Kai'Sa has still not been banned beacuse of this stupid new banning system btw). Back to the main question, why do people not switch to HoTS? I don't think HoTS is fun but i would rather play something mediocre with good players than some cancerous children.

Now this is a bit hypocritical, since on my 2nd account I posted that I was perma'd 2 times already, been playing since 2013, but seriously how the hell am I supposed to improve my behaviour when I am always playing with players who "fucked my mother" or "will burn down my house" etc.

TL;DR: Kai'Sa not getting banned after being so toxic it's unreal, instalocking people ruining games not getting banned, only people getting banned are those who argue with trolls, the system is broken and imho all that's better in league than in HoTS is countered by the toxicity of league's community. Who else agrees the system should be fixed or tribunal getting back?

  1. There is no assigned roles in blind pick.
  • Call order is common courtesy but not a hard rule.
  1. Reports alone done do anything. There has to be a bad behavior for it to be a valid report.
  • Don't worry about people saying that they will report you, nothing will happen if you didn't do anything wrong.
  1. Use the mute button if you feel that they won't have anything to contribute.
  • If they are already abusing chat, chance of them using chat the right way is slim. No need to get distracted by the toxic, just focus on the game and play.

I'm almost certain you are bronze and you play in Blind Pick, without even having to say all the instalock shit. The way that the all chat was talking, is indicative of the typical EUNE Blind Pick Bronze shitstorm.

Well if you actually read my comments the account is lvl 17. You are the same as all of the people saying "git gud", get out if you aren't going to say something actually contribute in this discussion.

Edit: Also if you read my reply you would probably notice that I said draft pick isn't always available, I don't play blind when I can play draft, but again, it seems you haven't read my comments, you need alot of champs and I am saving my BE for a 6300 champ. If you aren't going to read what I actually said and just gonna come here to shit on me saying I am bronze I suggest you get the fuck out.

No, I'm not flaming you or anything. It's just indicative that this type of behavior in chat or champ select strongly resembles the depths of the skill ladder. The toxicity down there is so much, it drags you down with it. It's very hard not to react to things like instalocking, or that particular chat and that's the reason why most players down there have no chance of ever climbing.

If you really wanna climb though, there are two things you need to do:

  1. Try to get yourself away from such situations if you can, and if it's unavoidable, try to stay neutral - ignore and keep your head straight. For example, someone says something insulting to you, even though you know they are wrong and you are doing your best. I know it's hard to ignore, but you have to try it. Mute that person and keep forward. Being tiled by what others say will make you play worse most of the time. Now, if it's something you can't avoid, like a troll build or a troll duo top or something, then you must try to make it work, try to play your best, because that's the only way you're gonna win.

  2. Most importantly, get better. This works exceptionally well in lower elo. If your skill level compared to the other players in your current elo is much higher (basically smurfing), then you will climb no matter what. It won't matter if your jungler is 0/30 or if you have a Maokai ADC. I'm plat 3 elo, and when I play on my smurfs in bronze and silver, I pretty much solo carry those games, even when my team is trash. Just to put this into perspective, the only game I lost on my smurf after about 20 won games was when I played Lucian top, and I was 13/7/0, while the rest of my team had a combined KDA of 5/41. I think it was something like a 1/11 Vi, 2/9 Ziggs, 1/9 Vayne, 1/12 Karma. That's what it took for me to lose a game in silver 3 elo and I could still win the game, if my team didn't constantly get caught out, even after I told them to just stay under tower and let me split push and eventually win.

I know u didn't mean to flame me, but you are indicating that I was Bronze on my 2 other accs ("Indicative of the typical EUNE shitstorm"), I was Gold 5 on my first one and Gold 3 on my second account, I know that isn't exactly the best but it's something atleast for me, also if you googled me the last matches were just to have fun with my friends, I wasn't tryharding or anything, and I was mostly being placed with smurfs, alot of them even having "smurf" in their name. Also I don't think I can really win with twitch against a 15 min 18/0 Kha'Zix... [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Well, then it's so weird that even outside of silver and bronze, people still talk in chat as if they belong there.

I think it's pretty safe to say that just about any online PvP game is full of cancerous children. It's the nature of the beast. You may be falling victim to "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence" syndrome.

I'm a little surprised that more people don't get together with people they trust and form 5-player premades in this game. I would think it would be the best way to cut down on all these problems. Mind you, that's not something I would do, so I can hardly expect others to do it. It just seems a little odd to me.

You become a better player by getting good.

First of all, thank you for your kind responses, but maybe I should have worded it a little bit differently and I also want to add something.

@MrHaZeYo this is a new acc and I want to buy a 6300 champ so I don't have enough champs for draft, but yeah being able to play Draft in EUNE is rare beacuse the servers are down alot.

@Decent Gamer I am not talking about my skill, I am talking about the community's toxic behaviour, also how am I supposed to win against 2 assassins who can one shot me? Kha'Zix was 18/0 on like minute 17, there was no way to stop all other teammates from dying while jungling.

@Venompaw that is where I am mostly salty myself beacuse of the competitiveness, also I am lvl 17.

@Dolyna I know but I have been playing hots since 2016 and I have encountered 10-13 salty players in all of the games I have played, but in League I get people like this every time.

@Kei143 I know but what bothers me is how they don't get banned, and I am sure that kai'sa was salty in other games too, beacuse she was talking about how she never gets bans for flaming in chat.

So when you get the perma ban screen I think it says "You are in the 0.3% of consistently toxic people" now I think this is straight up bull$hit beacuse either:

  1. It's lying to people. 2.Most of the people who get banned instantly create a new account.

Update: I got an instant feedback report, it was 100% Kai'Sa, glad justice has been done.

You move on and realize 1 game is a mere pebble in the sea of your league experience. You report them, play another game, and hone your skills. You stop playing blind pick, where there are no rules as to who goes where. Blind pick should be the last mode you play if you want a specific role. Watch videos, read/follow guides. Play the game. The best way to improve, is through experience. The biggest mistake someone can make, is dwelling on a shitty match, like you are doing now. You played one game in a month, and called that experience "typical". How can you ever expect to improve with an attitude like that?

Ummm dude if you actually read my comment, I have been playing since 2013 and I get atleast 1 game like that almost every time I play League, idk what you are arguing about beacuse: a) You aren't an EUNE player. b) From what you said you didn't actually read my comment, it is pretty typical in League, atleast in EUNE.

If you're lvl 17, I'd suggest switching to ARAM until you've built your champion pool. It can't teach you things like jungling or lane roles, but it will help you familiarize yourself with a wider range of champions in a less stressful environment. Games are also shorter, so if you do run into problem players, you won't have to put up with them as long.

Well I am playing since 2013, I think I know jungling and lane roles, but aram isn't that fun for me...
