Wins and losses should be treated as equal as personal score in game while being ranking.

Hello my name is Mau short form for my full name which I rather not state, I am 18 years male and have been playing league of legends for around 4 years. With this being said I have seen the evolution of league of legends and how far it has come as a loved nation wide game. This game allows us to feel connected with each other and the champions in which we play. I love or loved this game so much that I would come home from school only to go to bed until my parents started yelling at me to go to bed, which was around 11pm. I was obsessed and at the time I didn't think anything of it, I was getting low grades in school and gaining a lot of weight for sitting all day and eating snack. I have always struggles as a child In personal manors that I might share if anyone needs something to relate to. With this came my depression, in grade 11 I though if I came out of the closet all my issues would be resolved and I would become a new person, I downloaded grinder and lost a lot of weight in unhealthy manors. For a time I was very happy, I was getting better grades, made many new friends and had a boyfriend which later became a main influence in my post depression along with many other things that pushed me to the edge of suicide, no one should ever resort to this but when you're caught up in it all you're only looking for a way out. Around the time that I was in my happy zone, I didn't play league because I thought it would influence my productivity, and thus bringing me back to my depressive state, but when you're really depressed you don't just simply get over it. I know there are people that are dealing with worse things then I am but regardless we're all equals and we all deserve the best lives no matter how you look, speak, interact, and feel, you should just be accepted, not because its not the right thing to do but rather the human thing to do. Back to the point, after my post depression I was stabilized by my family and friends and started playing league again, what I thought was fun back in the day had become stress. I had never been good at ranked and I was always placed bronze 5 until recently where I was able to clime myself to bronze 1. Look i'm in bronze for a reason and I know that but when I state that I am a good (not great) player I mean it. I associate bronze 5 with my pasts troublesome life and as I attempt my promos once more this new season in which I have already lost back to back 4 games, I have noticed that riot had not changed how the ranking system ranks individuals. What does it mean to be a good player? Riot does not rank people for their individual efforts but rather as a team. This is where I believe riot should improve league of legends . Why is it that I try so hard and do well and thanks to my teammates lack of experience and refusing of communication I get ranked based on their loss not mine. Playing today really brought back light of subjects in my past life that are unjust, I guess that's life but league of legends isn't that, league its what we use to feel better from our lives by simmering ourselves in another world. I don't want league to bring back horrible memories of my past, I am not the person I was a year ago but league of legends is the same as it was 4, I believe there should be actual change to the game rather then champions upgrades and the champion lore. I hope that one day league of legends will give me that feeling I used to get when I selected my champion and I felt a rush of excitement and adrenaline. Riot please become more then just a game and bring back that good feeling i used to feel, let you better our lives in real life and in game because your game "league of legends" has as much negative effects to ones own personal life and positives and you have immerse power and how you regulate that can deeply impact someones life. I know it has for me. Thank you.

(sorry for the bad grammar)

Your personal performance is counted in addition to whether you W/L. Also takes in account your previous ranking. I just did my placements on one of my smurfs, all 10 with my duo. I placed in low gold, he placed in low silver. 7/3.

First of all grammar isn't an issue but please use paragraphs and so on nobody wants to read that.

Riot does not rank people for their individual efforts but rather as a team. This is where I believe riot should improve league of legends . Why is it that I try so hard and do well and thanks to my teammates lack of experience and refusing of communication I get ranked based on their loss not mine.

Thanks to your teammates lack of experience ? Do you take the time to look at their op.gg every time you queue for ranked ?** Are you dodging correctly ?** If you see that one or two of your teammates lack experience on the champion they picked, just dodge ! You have at least two dodges everyday and you should always use the first one ! Yeah you'll loose 3LP but if you play league 200days per year and dodge one 40% chance to win game per day you would actually gain 200LP, that is two full divisions ! Have a look at this for precise numbers and situations. [src]

Wins and losses are treated about as equal, except for winning/loosing streaks and this to equilibrate the ladder, if someone wins a ton of games without loosing one he'll climb way faster, that way he'll reach the elo he belongs to, that's normal.

And nope riot doesn't rank players as a team, you can duo in soloQ but there is ranked flex if you want riot to rank you as a team :)

Dude i get that over the course of 10 games it might feel like you are loosing because of your teammates. But you have to realize that over 500/1000 games you are the only factor you can control over theses games,** so everyone climb or fall based on their own skill**, it's just not that obvious when you loose because of your teammates, you need to play a lot for this to equilibrate itself, from what i can see you don't play enough games you need to queue for ranked a lot more than that. ** Keep in mind that statistically the enemy team have exactly the same chance as yours to get bad players/flamers/inters/AFKs, they will have those people in their team too, as much as you have them in yours !**

So instead of saying "I can't climb because of my teammates"** focus on what you can control** : your own skill/knowledge of the game. If you keep complaining instead of improving you won't progress !

Focus on csing i see that your cs numbers are very low, practice it in the practice tool, you're playing lux a lot it's easy to cs with her you should have way more cs than that, csing is so important in low elo you'll get a huge lead that way ! Ward more, take your enemies jungle camps, go gank other lanes, improve your macro play, learn more champions learn their matchups, learn new roles, new champions it'll improve your overall knowledge, buy more control wards i see you never buy more than one and often don't buy any, learn to keep track of ult & summoner's spells cooldowns, write it in chat so your teammates know it (cf. image), if you see that an akali/leblanc/kat or something like that just got her gunblade you need to ping it asap so your allies won't die. Press TAB often and keep track of who has what items, when you see someone is missing on the minimap you press TAB again if you see that he didn't buy anything new since the last time you checked you know he must be roaming, ping it asap it'll help someone to stay alive ! It's those things that will help you win too, your skill on a certain champion matters but macro is important too, knowing who is in a good powerspike ( in yours or the enemy team ) will help you make good decisions. Otherwise just play more you need to practice to get better !

Your teammates are bad ? So you need to carry them ! Use pings, shotcall ! Looking at your match history i can see quite a few games were you did bad too, sometimes you will be the reason why your team lost. Your team is loosing ? So what ? If it's ranked never surrender ( i can't stress this enough ) and always try to win,** in bronze most game are winnable even if you are behind by a lot** because nobody knows how to end a game, they'll make a ton of mistakes and you need to take advantage of it ! Use those games to practice, at one point you'll be able to carry the game by yourself even if someone does bad, it takes a lot practice, general knowledge and effort !

You lost a game because of your team ? Don't blame them, blame yourself it's your fault for not carrying them, be in that mindset ! ( Don't think it's their fault think it's yours because could always do something to turn the situation in your advantage ) Watch the replay and understand what you could have done better, maybe your positioning wasn't that great, maybe you could have seen the jungler coming if you bought another control ward, maybe your botlane could avoid that gank if you pinged it earlier, .... It's 100 times easier to see other people's mistakes and i guess you just don't see yours, focus on that !

You'll always get some people that are bad in your team, maybe they don't know their champion well, maybe they are in a bad matchup, maybe they are just bad at the game, and it's OK the game won't be fun if everyone was good, there won't be any challenge !

regardless we're all equals and we all deserve the best lives no matter how you look, speak, interact, and feel, you should just be accepted

Blaming your teammates is way too easy ! Following what you said you should just accept that they will sometimes do pretty bad, no matter how they interact.

I don't want league to bring back horrible memories of my past, I am not the person I was a year ago but league of legends is the same as it was 4, I believe there should be actual change to the game rather then champions upgrades and the champion lore. I hope that one day league of legends will give me that feeling I used to get when I selected my champion and I felt a rush of excitement and adrenaline.

If you never get exited when you play then maybe take a break or find something else to play. It's a game you need to enjoy it, if you don't and you are scared that "league will bring horrible memories", there is no point in playing a game if you don't enjoy it.

I think you are taking ranked way too seriously, always keep in mind that league is a video game. Maybe stick to normals for some time if loosing has such an impact on you or play ranked flex with friend you'll know they will do their best to win.

If you want to win in ranked you have to practice a lot, watch your replays, watch videos/guides learn more about matchups and so on ( even things about other roles, it'll help ), but blaming riot and your teammates won't help you.

Anyway this reply is already way too long, keep in mind: focus on your own skills and knowledge instead of blaming riot and other people, you are the reason why you're not climbing, your team has nothing to do with it, if you want to climb out of bronze you need to learn more and practice until you're able to carry your team, it'll take time and efforts !

Good luck and have fun playing the game ! ######( see how it's readable when you use paragraphs ? )
