Seriously, when did league get hard?

Here's a concept that seem's completely lost in elo hell.

It's pretty common that you don't want your enemy to have kills. But did you know, that if you don't have deaths, they won't get kills? It sounds so simple. Because it is.. And yet. All day, everyday. My allies make my jaw drop. I see some horribad players that blow my mind and make me wonder why Riot doesn't just make ranked pay to play only already and clean up some of the thrash that litter the ranks. Everytime I think I've seen a new low, a challenger steps up and shows me the true meaning of feed.

As my rank goes up, my games get worse. Losses are not just losses. They are hopeless hyperfeeds that have no way of being stopped.

Somehow, when my allies are going over a death a minute. Time keeps going on and they cant catch on to the idea of just stop dying. Stop dying. Stop dying. When you are dead in well, you are not gaining gold/xp. You are not putting counter pressure. You are just feeding deadweight.

Hasn't anybody noticed that minions give gold? Why are you even trying to kill champions? Why do you even care that they exist? You have minoins that kill turrets for you.

I've played silver games. Some people get teamwork. Some people have good warding. Some people understand not to extend, and listen to warning pings.

In this low elo though.. it seems harder and harder to climb the closer I get to silver. Shockingly bad. I don't get it.

I've tried using english. ppl don't listen. I throw obvious pings to obvious danger, but watch my allies walk into it and die anyway.

I don't believe 1 person can carry this game. And I don't think a duo can consistently carry either. But it helps. I find that MMR loves to do this thing where if you make a climb, the first loss you take it takes 22 LP from you. Then +16 per win after that. And the more wins you go in a row, it puts you with more and more inexperienced players over time. So matchmaking system actually works against progressing players. Ppl can attest elo being a fair system, but I think it's a load of BS that does not translate into league. How hard would it be to track avg death times? If a player averages a death per 3 minutes played, he should not be matched with a player who averages 1 death per 8 minutes played. Person A is just going to mentally wear down player B, and consistently give his enemies undeserved gold just because this person has another 3 year learning curve before they can be compared to 5 year players.

I need more duos. I don't think league is at all hard in theory. Kill minions. Stay alive. Wait for your opportunities to strike. Watch for the times when you need to run.

I'm tired of being stuck in an ELO where ppl think KDA is a reflection of personal skill. What a laughable idea. So when I go 2 death after 25 minutes on a team with 28 deaths. And then I start racking up deaths. Somehow this is my fault? yeah I have no kills, may be 0/6. But read the whole KDA. 0/6/13. People want other people to i've them kills, but show no appreciation for those that actually work toward assists.

silver/low gold duos. IDC.

main tank jng. I don't die. I feed allies not enemies. Having a hard time keeping up to how fast my allies feed. I can't tank in this elo, the power curve comes too late to compensate for this level of feed. Disgusting. When you ahve 4 allies to rely on to help you. STOP PUTTING YOURSELF IN DANGER AND DYING!! Why is this hard? Amumu

Towers> Farm> Kills... This is your objective focus.... Assists is not n this list.

The sad truth is, that you have to carry if you wanna beat that garbage Elo. You have to be the one dictating the way the game goes. you need to be making plays and getting a lead and putting it into your team. In season 3, I went from bronze 4 to gold 3. How did I do it? I carried my ass out of bronze, and in silver I learned to take my lead and shove it down my teams throat. And in gold, I learned I have to be productive in my calls so my team doesn't do something really dumb.

Don't blame your team for being bad. They are bad, it's bronze 2 lol. Instead, be better than all of them, enemy team included and you will be fine. gl.

its a game of numbers. If you are consistently making your team better, you will eventually climb. Its much easier to climb playing flavor of the month champs, or just getting very good at a few champs. But, if all you do is afk farm in lane while the other team is taking objectives or making plays, you aren't contributing to your teams success either. Yes its great to have a gold lead, but the game doesn't start and end with the first team fight at 20+ minutes. It starts at 0:15. from that time on you are playing a team game, don't expect to be carried by a single person every game, and dont expect silver players to play a high meta game. expect random bullshit. expect that their support Aatrox may go 5-0-1. Work around it, adapt. The meta you see working for the pros is all most always based around high levels of teamwork and communication. two things that you barely see in solo que. So play stuff that works even when your team play doesn't. Adapt to the meta you are playing in, not the idealistic one where you think you belong.

it honestly seems that you are a part of the feeder team, if you think about it. Which people in league flames the most? the flamers. What are you doing now? Flaming. Trust me, you say you cant carry because the team is bad. Do you think that anyone in plat and above says they cant carry because the team is bad? No. i suggest you stop flaming your team and start to think what your doing wrong, there is always something because if there isnt, you wouldnt be in the low elo you are in right?summoner 30

in season 3 i was placed bronze 2 and took me roughly 200 games to hit silver over the entire season and through that time i learned that you do not rank up with out getting stuck with someone who hard carrys or you being the hard carry come season 4 i got placed silver 3 and hit gold in the same amount of games and this season i placed g5 and now ranked up to g3 it does not matter what elo you are in your team mates either make it a 5v5 or a 1v9 regardless it is still never their fault it is YOUR fault for not carrying hard enough. there are many things that you can do in order to improve such as your micro level plays like 100 cs ever 10-12 min

"As my rank goes up, my games get worse." I wonder why that is? If you Blame your teammates for every game you lose it means that you believe you're perfect. which means it would be easy to win every game and be challenger rank 1, on the best competitive team. Don't make the game a stressful time by getting angry at what your teammates do (I know it sucks.)

Instead sit back and comment on your own play. How can you improve? What did you do right? what objective should you have gone fore then? Etc... If you can't handle teammates losing lane 50% of the time then you can't handle solo Q. The way the ranking system works you have to be BETTER than other so that you can get out. Even though you might be good enough to be in gold you have to be better than silver to get there. It's a game if you're getting mad over ranked games (that have no signification meaning at your elo or mine) just sit back go play a game that makes you laugh and have fun! League can be fun!
