Experience With TFT Yesterday

I hadn't played ranked in a while. I was just having fun in normals. But yesterday I decided to play ranked to see if I could reach platinum. I started off pretty well. Two 1st place back-to-back. I got items and eventually I was able to build a working composition. The next two games, I wasn't able to find any items or champions to win. To note, I know how to pivot. There is nothing substantial that I could pivot into (no annies or yoricks, no items for khazix, couldn't get any tears for seraphs, didn't have any items for blender). I got 6th and 5th place. That's fine, I just got two first place. The next two games I got 4th place. Not bad, the other players got luckier than I did (t3 units plus ocean lux and crystal synergy, I went blender and got noc items, but couldn't find sivir items). The other game, I did pretty well, but the matchmaking system was pretty troll. There were four players left. I could have put in mystic to counter the ap composition, but I had expected to fight the blender player because I only had played them once in that entire game, so I put in taric instead so I could counter their damage. But nope, I got the inferno player, who I had played a few times already. Fairly unlucky, I didn't like this. I won the next game. Decent items. I found a composition. The next game I got 5th place, not bad, but my early game items and units were so bad that I couldn't do anything. There were also two blender players who got 1st and 2nd place. The next game, I got 7th place. That game was so terrible, I started off with a glove, then I got a negatron and a chain vest from creeps. I picked up tears from the carousel for seraph's embrace, which is a pretty good pivot item, then I got one bow and gold from krugs. If I remember this game, I couldn't even make it to the wolf round. The next game after that, I had another bad start. I'm willing to admit that I pepegaed a little bit (I lost when I hadn't scouted the board for zephyr). But I also got a frozen heart from krugs, and the other players hit more of their units and had some t3. So basically, I get a very bad start and can't find any carry unit, then I finally get something sort of decent, but I make 1 mistake and I can't restrategize because I only have 10 hp. So it's mostly because of the game rng that I was knocked out and unable to do anything. hahaha

I mean, at the the end of the day, I netted 75 lp, but it seems kind of pointless when I am able to get games where I'm unable to do anything because of the rng. Okay, the games I did well, good job rng. The games I did poorly, dangit rng. I could easily lose more lp if I keep getting bad starts and items. That's just too much anxiety for a silly rng game. xD

Aren't you just tunneling on blenders too much?

From an item standpoint, blender comp is an expensive build, if you can't ind items for it, you should pivot into something else instead.

Creeps give me 2 gold, 3 gold.... Seems rare for them to really give me much for items lately.. The rng in this game seems worse/more frustrating than ever..
