If you have tried to solo your way out of low silver than you already know how impossible it is.

There is no point in bitching about it or telling you the shocking stories I have from what I've seen. because by the time I post this players will find a new low. Tiered system has failed.

AT least possibly if I get into a slightly hiher tier with less idiots. Then maybe playing league won't be so stressing.

League isn't hard. Seriously. Face the music. It's not a hard game. Being thrown into a pool of millions of players who could be anywhere in this games 2 year minimum learning curve. And expect to have a fair 5 v 5 fight. Is a much more challenging task, than destroying an enemy nexus. Seriously. When did league stop being fun?

For me it was about 3 years ago when I realized I was playing better than my ranked allies but there was absolutely nothing taht can be done to improve my allies. It does not matter how hardcore serious I play. I can be in a 2 afk game and lose rank. Doesnt matter that I can smell a gank coming before it hits. My allies cant so they fall to it. I suffer from enemy growth. my rank goes down.

The one and ONLY way to legit gain rank is to duo. And I am picky who I play with. Too many kids in this game. We play a few duos, and sum1 goes on a death streak. All of a sudden break apart the duo. It's bs. Stick with it.

But I do expect you to carry. Not just do well, not survive. You have to know ways to turn games around. I need to see +2000 games played on your account. I need to know that you've been there, seen it a hundred times before like I have and you know how to deal with it without thinking about it. I've been a daily ranked player for years. Playing in low elo. And what I've learned most, is that matchmaking and LOL being over popular is what has ruined league. The game is amazing. The teams ruin it.

I main jng, can carry all day any day. I can carry mid all day any day. I'm a great adc, but I cannot play bot lane with public players. They are over agro, just.. stupid. I can't do it. need to solo carry. If you can win top lane all day that'd be ideal. Then I only have to win 2 lanes instead of 3. MUCH easier to manage.

Most duo's i win with are top mains who split, or know when to roam, have good awareness. You have to understand we 2 lanes may be behind. But that doesn't matter. Avg top lane turret kill is about 25 minutes by my standard. Just keep growing, we don't need you yet. When I top I don't even want to consider roam before 30 minutes. That's just me. But I really prefer somebody who can get out there and create some pressure, not just be another weak point on my team.

You gotta be able to play anywhere still though.

This season myself and my friend solo carried ourselves out of low silver. we are both now mid plat and continuing to climb. people are stupid everywhere. But the fact is, you need to be able to carry yourself out. If you're stuck somewhere, you deserve to be there. simple as that. Carry your teammates and you'll climb. Stop blaming the bad teammates because they are in ALL tiers.

Got out of silver by Solo Q jarvan 4. You don't have to duo.

There are always games that you can't carry. I never said every game is winnable. But when you said 'I still contend drop me in plat and you wouldn't be able to tell me apart as being a "lesser" player.' this is just a lie. If you deserved plat after 600 games THIS season (You have 572) you would be here. You're stuck in silver 5. It sucks, but blaming your teammates does absolutely nothing. After a game win or loss, look at what YOU could've done better. Whether it be mechanically, strategically, did you go on tilt?, did you give an early kill?, what could YOU have done to make the outcome of the game any different? And if you watch anyone from Plat-Challenger play in bronze-low gold elo they will carry 80% of their games. Because they've gotton that much better. It is carryable, i've done it myself. Twice. Last season, and when i was placed silver 4 this season. Stop blaming your teammates. If you have trouble climbing, you DESERVE to be where you are. In the picture you gave me, you went 10/8/15. There are at LEAST 8 mistakes you made that game. Every death can be traced to a mistake. Whether that death was poor positioning in a team fight, or you just got caught out with no vision. Why did you get caught? Why didn't you ward? If you don't have a ward, why didn't you have one? Don't depend on your team to do things. Also, you had an upgraded Yellow Trinket. Why not have an upgraded scrying orb? If you have so much farm and gold, why didn't you carry the game? Or were you split pushing without your team? These are a few things that I noticed just looking at the end screen. You make mistakes too. So don't solely blame your teammates.
