Are people just not giving a shit about ranked?

Hi, hard stuck silver here.(To be specific, I've went from Silver 1, to Silver 3) And I'm here to address something I've been noticing lately in my games. I main ADC() and I usually do well in lane. I can CS fairly decent, I really try to be consistent every game by hitting the average of 75cs & 10:00mins. But, then I take a look at the scoreboard and my team isn't doing so hot. So I do what I have to do. I get my tower, and try to provide help to my team by roaming either top or mid lane. I help them shove their lane and get a kill or two, and of course take the towers.

But the moment It's time to team fight, my team becomes oblivious as if they haven't heard that term before. I don't spam pings, I just say it sweet and simple "Group up please". Sometimes it doesn't even take it to mid game, and my team is already losing lane in ways I didn't think were possible. I seriously don't believe in the whole"It's not your teammates, you just need to carry harder". Fuck that. Honestly. You can't expect an ADC(Tank meta BTW) to try and go "Pro carry mode" when the enemy team is out carrying me. I'm confused by the lack of effort people are putting into games, and I'm really starting to think that maybe people just don't care because it's nearing end season. Anyways. Kinda a rant, but really. I'm tired of losing games that honestly aren't my fault. I recognize and own up to my mistakes when I make them. I'm not afraid to admit defeat when it's my fault. But FFS, What is going on?!

You're honestly playing the wrong champions. Each one of those champions has major issues in the current meta. You're expecting your team to help you. When you should be expecting no help at all ever. So on Draven that means utterly smashing in lane and being able to at least 2v1 at all times. I highly recommend you learn how to play Trist. She has insane mobility, and is really strong right now. I also suggest you learning to play twitch. You wait around till someone goes into fight and then you stealth then ult from a distance. Ashe is really weak right now and I would avoid her like the plague she is the second to last ADC in the game right now.

I would try and really use to0ls like champion.gg and op.gg to give you an indication of who is strong and weak. Then what you need to do is try and play around that if you want to rank up.

This is an unpopular opinion, but it's the truth. Some games are just flat out unwinnable. I would estimate influence you have to win games is roughly only about 10-20% of games you play the rest of it is just out of your control. Ranking up is a grind, and riot wants it that way because the more you play the more likely you are to spend money on the game. The matchmaking system has tons of flaws in it, and you either have to suck it up and deal with it or stop playing ranked.

Feel free to add me and I would be happy to talk to you and see if I can help you. I'm not fantastic, but I've hit gold 4 seasons in a row now.

You are something like 600 games into this season and are hardstuck, that means you are where you should be based on your skill. The only constant from game to game is you. You are playing against players who are at the same skill level, your are playing in the same meta as you and are able to translate their leads into global advantages.

actually i know why your losing with the champs...your build for ashe is bad for starters...you rush ie for 0 reason. Bf sword then greaves then zeal then essence reaver then rapid fire cannon or static or runaans then what u decided to not build before build now. It sounds bad with out ie but it isntTrust in the cdr

crush your lane. make your jungle take drags for free b/c of your pressure. ignore top and mid lane until you know you are crushing bot. take top lane tower after you take tier 1 bot or sometimes even tier 2 bot. play different champions. ones that can scale super hard and dont care about dying for 3 enemies in a teamfight. pick vayne, twitch, tristana, kog, etc. playing ashe kinda sucks without a proper support or teamcomp. if you play draven you better be ahead by 2+ kills in lane before first tower. you better have the highest damage as xayah. farm better in the mid and late game. stop "grouping" early. splitpush even as adc into 25+ min when its safe for more xp and gold. when splitting push the waves fast and immediately run to the team. focus the big objectives over a kill or two. stay alive in crappy fights. pick waveclear adcs if you feel your team is always losing early. you have to play like the game is lost unless you can make it to 3.5 items before your team is 0-15. this means you have to play with urgency. be in every skirmish and semi teamfight around bot side and ks everything.
