Can I have one fucking promo where one of my teammates doesn't run it down mid?

Seriously. People say "wow you have 5000000 games and you're still plat5 you're fucking trash".

I win almost every single game to get into promos, then always lose promos LITERALLY every time there is someone who feeds running it down mid on the deciding game.

This game, Kha ran down mid and told their midlaner in all chat to build a mejais. Enemy team got herald and pushed down an open mid that no one on our team defended.

How the FUCK do people get higher than plat 5? Are you all good enough to 1v10? (herald) cause I'm not.

SO DONE with league. I give up, I can't climb. Call me trash if you want. Fucking uninstalled today.

Lol, if the bronze player cries that he gets trolls and feeders everytime, he gets downvoted into the abyss. But when a plat player does it's ok.

Can we stop with the "git gud" mentality.

There's more to it than that. This is a team game, the team will always have more impact than you. You will win or lose more often based on what your team and the enemy team does than what you do alone.

That's where a lot of complaints come in.

Trolls, feeders, AFKS, matchmaking, premades, etc. Those are all factors with the team. YOu can't really influence that.

I'll go 21/4/10 and lose games, but go 1/4 and still win some. CLimbing is just a long-ass grind.

Kha only died twice in mid. Not saying you're lying but I think there is more to it than you make it sound. Also, seems like he died to the early invade and tilted from there. Yeah that sucks for the rest of the team

This similar situation has happened to me, I've written about it on the forums countless times.

Go on a win streak with great teams, excellent communication, minimal toxicity, everyone knows how to play their champion and everyone seems to have good map/game awareness.
Get to promos: Blitzcrank mid, Sona jungle, top laner tells everyone to kill themselves by 4 minutes and feeds 5 kills to the enemy Master-smurf Riven main with 2,000 games played, while the enemy jungle camps mid because they haven't warded the entire game. Lose in 16 minutes.

Every. Time.

I got out of plat 5 by not being as unlucky as you are. Saying that someone runs it down mid every time you are in promos is a biased statement. This will not happen in plat; no one here is well known enough to be inted every game. If you are not a diamond streamer on EUW that mains Shaco and is supposedly toxic, this should not happen often. And I'm not even sure if Shaclone gets inted every game

If you ever decide to come back, I have advice. The advice below worked for me

Don't tilt and at the same time be able to identify if you are tilting. This makes you play much worse than you usually do and to avoid this, try what I suggest: use the "/muteall" command, don't play more ranked after losing more than 2 games in a row. I personally don't do the first one, but apparently it works for part of the community on reddit (which is basically a bigger boards that riot actually visits and has more than 1 master tier player and like 5 plat players)
Don't flame teammates for no reason. Tilting your teammates will decrease your chances of winning and will trigger them
Don't blame your teammates. Instead understand how to improve yourself
Improve your macro game. This is the most important tip here; the other 3 are close to irrelevant. Your teammates can't throw the game if it's already over

How to avoid feeders/trolls/afk-ers in your promos: Get your MMR high enough that you skip promos altogether!

Get a team.. Practice communication in normals, and be able to trust each other. Yeah you will lose some and win some but if you trust them enough to go into ranked with them it will be fine. If someone is toxic or just all around horrible you can kick them... Not recommended though. Go to player recruitment, ask for a specific elo, specific lane, etc. Then you will have the right team that won't "run it down mid" and some great friends lad!

its probably your summoner name "i refuse to chat" tells people you are a noncommunicative player, which pisses people off. even if you decide to /mute all and not type. implying it in your summoner name will likely draw "troll aggro"

if you're stuck in plat 5 then you are doing something wrong getting out of plat 5 is super easy once you get good enough don't give up, just keep playing and trying to improve and you will climb out of it easy

Someone tried to insult me with "you've played for 3 seasons and you're still gold?!?"

I don't think they know I just got G5 for rewards and called it a day. Seriously, insulting based on time spent in a rank is dumb unless they're feeding every game or something.

"you can't climb when your team is against you" all you have to do is keep queueing and keep trying eventually you will get teams that are good enough if you've queued 300+ games and are still stuck in plat 5 that means you aren't playing good enough you must stop blaming your team and try to improve yourself
