THERE IS A TL;DR AT THE BOTTOM!!!!

Idk what it is, I feel like I play so damn solid every game only to see my team go 0/20 in the first 10 minutes or to just watch them throw faster and harder than an MLB pitcher. I'm just confused as to how some people can get completely great teammates (or at least competent ones) EVERY single game and I'm somehow getting ones who refuse to cooperate and just all in all don't want to win EVERY single game. I mean where the hell is the balance? Am i just some silver player thinking he is all big and bad and deserves gold tomorrow? Hell no, but jesus I also don't think I've been playing at a skill level that constitutes going on a 8 loss streak. Could I have won some of them? Sure, There were two that I saw as easy wins, too bad they just so happened to both consist of someone afking.

And no, Im not a rager despite this post. Just frustrated. I rarely rage at my teammates either, the only real typing I do in game is something along the lines of "try and stick with the team" or "let so and so engage first so you don't get melted right away". So more along the lines of helpful comments, not shit like "wow you are sooooooo bad", because I know well enough that even if that is true, it should never be said because it only makes them play worse.

TL;DR: I'm just having a really rough patch of games and can't seem to get anywhere solo atm so If any solid player is on right now and would be willing to try their best to win a couple games with me, add me.

Perhaps you had a bad string of teammates. I was told once 60% of matches are decided before they start 20% you will get carried and the other 20% you control. Always think there is 10 players and in order to cimb you only have to win 51% of the time. So looking at these number you get a max possible of a 70% win rate, but loss sprees are very possible, but it is also possible for you to play better.

Agreed, Basically the point I am getting at though is this:

  1. Players who consistently get outmatched deserve demotion
  2. Players who consistently outmatch others deserve promotion
  3. Players in the in between area where they can at least always hold their own individually deserve to stay put.

I believe I am on the road to being number 2 but for right now I'm more so number 3 based upon my match history and evaluation of my play. I am by no means being out-matched (getting wrecked every single game, individually) which again means that I should not be demoted to a lower tier. At least that was supposed to be the whole concept of leagues in the first place. Yes it's overall a team game and to make it to a high elo you will need to be able to fully analyze more than just individual talent to climb, but as long as your individual talent matches others in that division, the system should be designed to make sure you at least win enough to stay within that division.
