Anyone feel like helping?

I Raged so bad today from 5 days of consecutive flaming and bad games... I know question my own prowess. I have s ranks on: Gnar Soraka TahmKench Poppy Kindred. Yet... i have had 5 days with maybe 1 quick game that was any good. I have had to against the same champs and have been flamed by both ally and enemy day after day. I now hate these champs with a good passion. Blitzcrank Camille Diana Illaoi Lux Vayne XinZhao. I will only mention that today I was forced into the suicide prevention hotline because of how I acted in response to this amount of hate. The purpose being so that you understand that I'm not trying to be just cynical and cry. I uninstalled because I'm honestly not having fun anymore. It actually hurts now to log on and only play against 1 of these champs and lose game after game because I have failed to follow guidelines on surviving their encounters. I'm asking for help finding fun in this game anymore. Without being forced into "Meta Champions" the pros and Plat. use. I am also an unranked bronzie skum who hates ranked games XD

Genuinely, when this game makes you feel suicidal, STOP PLAYING.

but... considering people seem to ignore that advice I just say this: MUTE ALL don't talk say you will only listen to pings and disable all chat.

...At this moment I have stopped playing it. But, bringing my personal life into it, I haven't heard from any of my friends NOT on league in 4 months... They seem to have forgotten me, I'll only go back because of how much my snaggle means to me. item 3681

My snaggle is the best I have and stays by my side every game. I've become proficiant in top, mid, support, and ad carry positions and I dislike the new pressure on playing jungle... which I am very bad at but can pull off. My brother certainly seems to enjoy the game and doesn't mind my input on the building of Akali, which is his favorite champion. and as I recall Dota2 is not only worth money but highly toxic too.

Mute all and play easy champions and just learn the game and watch yourself improve.

because it feels so fair and fun when you have to be just as cruel to win the game. I got an a+ rank the first time i playedIllaoi. It feels so bad to just sit there and cruelly beat people, especially seeing what they say about those champs. It's why I don't play Illaoi and I don't like playing like that anymore

It doesn't matter what rank you got the first time you played the champ. You're bronze. If they were easy auto wins you wouldn't be bronze anymore. Stop saying you got an S the first time as if it matters. I did great my first game with illaio, so I tried to main her. Then I got stomped. I gave up. No champ is just FREELO unfair bullshit. It's a game of circumstance. It depends on how good your opponent is (knowledge and skill wise).

Anyways, you admit you're bronze scum or whatever, I admit I'm a scrubby silver pos... so why does flaming bother you so much? They tell you you suck? Yeah... you do. So just agree with em. You'd be surprised how disarming it is. Just get rid of your ego and realize that these strangers you're playing with don't matter to you at all. The things they say, they would say to anyone online. It's not personal. Just treat it like the joke it is. Kids insulting others' skill at a fucking video game. It's a joke dude. Stop taking it so seriously.

Sorry if it sounds harsh... consider it tough love. Even though I don't know you or love you, I am trying to help you. Next time you get that insecure feeling when people are making fun of you in game, just shake your head, look around the room you're in (you know... the real room, not the virtual video game world you're getting upset in) and laugh it off dude.

All the time i fuck up in game and just type wow I suck report me sorry. Then I fuck up again and people start calling me out ("wtf are you doing trist?) so I get that feeling I have to defend myself... then I realize, these are people playing a video game, like me, they fuck up, they are in the same ELO I'm in... so fuck em, man. Imagine what asses they would look like if they did that to a coworker who kinda sucked at their job. It's absurd. So don't take it seriously.

hmm... that doesn't help with the concept of making the game fun... as I am looking for. I honestly do take the game seriously... It often feels like the only thing I have. These people in my ELO are the most human contact I have at all. Sorry that I am just pushing your lovely blood boiling paragraphs away. I feel they insult me, but hey, you are trying to help and I appreciate that alot.

A bad game gets to me, even worse when I'm playing my main. Not sure how many rank S you get up in silver but back here in bronze, we still make a lot of mistakes. It's just now one mistake ruins everything else for my game, and when my lane fails i feel i failed. It's not about salty players or me taking others too seriously. I'm having issues now trying to separate my feelings of intense... er... hard core carry-ing...ness? I just feel that if I carry people, they'll do better, and the game can feel more like a match between people trying to outsmart each other, like in chess, rather than a simply instant gib, snowball, 20 minute torture.

I'm kinda happy today, I played Rammus in support today. We were being lane bullied by not only Lux but Brand too. horrible early game champions. It was obvious it wasn't their first time and they made very little mistakes. they actually outranged my adc with the length of their spells. poor Ashe has to try to collect cs from under turret. Then, there was a failing mid lane, and top lost first turret, I honestly gave up because the snowballing was too much for me. But, this Ashe, she reminded me of something i forgot long ago. "don't give up hope yet, We can win this. I just need you to help me rammus" I haven't heard that in all the years I've played league, I almost cried, and just like a fairy tale... I built armor items, and led ashe to fight all the other laners, we actually ended up winning. though i totally spaced out item 2049 like the bronzie support I am. We won.

hope that you can forgive me for ignoring you post, I also hope this makes you smile too.

Ya I feel you on this. It is discouraging and annoying when you fuck up. I do have a slight problem where if I fuck something up and someone calls me out on it, it makes me start to hesitate on my future decisions. I was playing malphite and ulting whenever I could... got a kill everytime on Annie or one of their ADCs... until someone said "don't waste your ult on only annie" ... great. Here I thought sweet, I'm catching em out alone and were making picks. But no my team wants more. They want me to ult multiple champs during teamfights. Well of course that'd be ideal, but they aren't morons standing in a pack waiting for me to ult in. So now I start hesitating when I see a good ult on an overextended ADC or APC. I started sucking. Every ult after that came late cuz I kept thinking, am I gonna get bitched at if I do this? Lol it sucks. I do feel ya on that. And sorry if my reply was just kinda pissy and didn't help at all hahhaa.

Maybe the 40/40/20 rule needs to be brought to your attention. Because you're always gonna lose games, and it's important not to let those losses discourage you. The rule is, 40% of the time you will stomp no matter what. 40% of the time you will get stomped, no matter what. And 20% of your games, your effort, skill, knowledge, will actuslly affect the outcome of the game and make the difference between loss and win. So if losing discourages you, just tally it up to the 40/40/20 rule. And then you can focus on personal goals in those obviously lost matches. Go for CS. Least deaths. Just try not to feed while the rest of your team does. It gives you a different incentive and you can still feel proud that you dealt with the hard loss pretty well.

btw, if I can get s ranks with playing a champ for the first time, it means that any summoner can play this champ and win easily because it not only takes no skill, it is easy to read. Perhaps I'm just not good enough yet, but even when you know blitz is going to grab for you, it doesn't exactly make it easy to dodge it, when that comes across, I'm normally adc or sup. as a support, I'm already trying to read the enemy adc, and thinking about when my attacks and abilities could make an opening. I'm watching my minions, their minions, my wards, and their adc. NOW adding blitz, I have to remember that any minion that dies could give away a wall that keeps me from instant death, and THEN, I'm trying all of this and keeping track of blitz's movements. It does matter when you can easily win with a first time champ. Especially when you know they'll try taunting you endgame. (stupid blitz, i don't care if you have a kda 13/7/3 and have 10 more kills than me, your so stupid as a support.)

That's what I disagree with. You say if u can get an S rank on the first time u play a champ, it means anyone can win easily with that champ. That's simply not true. There's so many factors at play. It could mean that your opponent's didn't know how to play against said champ. Or you were just a more skilled player than your opponent. Had you played blitz your first time and had the misfortune of being mismatched against a smurf, or just a higher elo player, you wouldn't have gotten that S. It's not just 1 game S rank = easy champ that you're always gonna get S with. You got lucky.

EDIT: You may be right that blitz is an easier champ to play than others. But your enemy was blitz too... so blitz wasn't even the deciding factor. You sound smart with your supporting. That's what did it. And as you go up in ELO, easier champs become easier to counterplay. It's high skill champs that are the most rewarding, as long as you have the skill to play em. So yeah, blitz is easy, but it's because your opponent's were easy kinda. Just my opinion.
