Hi. What i wanna talk about are teams we get in league. Always when anybody told me he is stuck somewhere becuse of the teams he is getting, I did not believe that, I thought it´s just an excuse. https://matchhistory.eune.leagueoflegends.com/cs/#match-history/EUN1/229729207. But it actually isn´t. When climbing to platinum V, I was in gold 1, with mmr of platinum 3, getting normal playerslosing and winning, as it went. Since I hit platinum, my MMR dropped to gold 3, and I started getting totally unskilled and unexperienced players, that are nervous, they play with emotions from previous games and they flame, afk, troll, and int. So the huge loss streak has begun. Since now, I did NOT drop to gold 1 (which actually surprises me), but every game is the same. In the first 10 minutes, my (for example) top lane is 0 - 8 - 0, and goes afk or just keeps pushing his lane even though the enemy junger just keeps coming and killing him again and again. He does this until eevryone from our team starts pinging on his face, cus he is 0 - 10 and still does the same thing. And now, how does the game look - enemy top laner is so fed, that they just roam all around the map, and if we don´t mange to kill that player immediatelly, everybody else starts dying to him and we lose, because we just cant take down that 15 - 2 full tank Garen , or whatever is enemy top just playing down. And we lost to this. What I noticed is that there are few champions (Fiora Renekton Warwick Pantheon Irelia) ,that are SO DUMB, that they can legit end game my 17th minute. I wonder, what do I do against this. I main Lee Sin, so I thought I migth be ableto carry the gam as jungler-nope. Here is an example : https://matchhistory.eune.leagueoflegends.com/cs/#match-details/EUN1/1996811700/229729207?tab=overview In early game, I totally stopmped bot and top lane. Since they were good, I went mid. It went good aswell. Zed went 4 - 1. And at this point, my bot lan starts falling to MonkeyKing. Zed started falling to Katarina, and I was just not able to protect my bot from getting oneshoted by MonkeyKing and Katarina. We just lost. I didn´t even know what in the ... happend. I just don´t know how t ocounter dumb teammates.

The pool of people that your teammates are drawn from is the exact same pool that your opponents are drawn from. There are 5 slots on the enemy team and only 4 slots on your team that can be filled. So any random set of poor attributes that you don't exhibit is going to be assigned to the enemy team slightly more often than they are assigned to your team, at a 5:4 ratio.

So, any set of poor attributes SHOULD give you more wins than losses, unless you do something to contribute to the poor performance of your team....

just because it's happening, it doesn't mean it isn't an excuse

A good player makes an impact on ever single lane. Jungler is especially the easiest lane to do this in. Take this diamond game for example; https://gyazo.com/34ee01064807f2fd585c4d053fbf3f73

EVERYONE was feeding, I hope that is clear, at the beginning of the game EVERYBODY was feeding besides the Lee Sin. So he ganked every lane several times and dominated the game, ended up carrying everyone without even dying once.

Your games aren't un-carriable, you just can't win and you want to attribute your lack of ability to your teammates. Apdo had a 97% win rate up to challenger, please try telling him that his teams are holding him back.

EDIT: Also if you don't believe me, here is the graph: https://gyazo.com/f4b0413da508bce691e1dcd74130e8f4
