Is it me or my team?

Saphixia·Oct 12, 2015·1 votes·483 views

I have not been doing well at all in my ranked games and i want to see if it is me or my team, as i dont want to be a stereotypical bronze player, blaming my team for everything. If some one could look at my ranked matches and see what im doing wrong. ONLY RANKED MATCHES! But it seems that every single game I play has an afk in it. just last game we had an ezreal who wouldnt talk to us, fed the enemy kalista, then proceeded to afk. i couldnt do anything about it apart from report him. anyway, im ranting now, so could a higher level player (silver+) just check and see if its me or my team because, as i said, it seems everygame im with a afk. Thankyou and plz dont come to complain about bronze players.

Its probably both. Mostly your team with some of you sprinkled in.

if you want to rise in ranked, accept that you sometimes get paired up with teamates who feed, sometimes teamates with a bad day, sometimes AGAINST enemies that just outskill everyone else in that 10-person game. these things are the whole point to the system! so if you want to rise in game, NEVER answer "it's my team" because if you want to rise in ranked, you want to look at what YOU can do to affect the end result of the game. even if you are 20-0 and all your teamates are 0-10, ask yourself what you could have done to change the flow of the game. because a game isn't won because a buch of champs died, a game is won because one team won a baron fight or split push effectively or sieged a tower very well.

Check Your Performance. You might want to look for better players to help coach you along a little bit. Your KDA is also 1.0, which is extremely low. It's hard to say what exactly you're doing wrong without an larger look at your play style.

Well, AFKs (assuming you're not saying anything at all in match other than the occasional "gj" or "can you leash blue" etc...) are your team and not you pretty much.

I've taken a quick look at your history. It's hard to get anything without having someone watch you play. I don't have time (sorry), but if you know a higher ranked player that's willing to watch that'd be best.

Some general tips: It appears that you regularly have around 70CS on laners in 30min games. That's unacceptable. There are 6 minions per wave with a 7th every 3rd wave. Waves come every 30sec starting at 1:30. So at 30min you've have 57 waves, or 361 potential minions to CS. Assuming you miss 10% because of being at base/roaming that's still 325 minions to last hit. So you're hitting around 21.5% CS. Even if you get up to only 50% (and you should practice to get to around 80% to be honest) that's an extra 90 minions at 30min, or 30 minions per 10 minutes. Every 10 minutes that's an extra 750 gold. That's a LOT of missed gold.

Ward bushes in the jungle whenever you can. Upgrade your trinket at level 9. Map hacks for 250g is amazing.

Be proactive. Group with your team before you get grouped against.

Otherwise, just stay positive and good luck!

Thankyou for reviewing as much as you can bro! I will get into a custom game in the next couple of days and starting getting some T3 runes! I find it hard to buy them as alot are expensive and the temptation to buy Champions is overwhelming me. I usually dont flame in matches (although sometimes i do get quite angry at people who feed their lane, ask for ganks (which i cant do as theyre always pushed to the enemy turret) and then blame it on me for losing the game. But like i said THANKYOU this has helped a lot and i will start farming those minions

http://matchhistory.oce.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/OC1/105023280/201454362?tab=overview wtf is this? build a god damn sightstone on support and you should start winning.

It's pretty bad when the adc outwards the entire team... Not to mention that you are building...... That....

Ok your runes are also bad, get T3 ones before you play ranked.

As you may have guessed i used to be verrrrrrry bad at morgana but i only have 3 supps (janna, tahm and morg) and our adc said that janna sucked and that tahm was a jungler (which i have since learnt that he can be played in the jungle, but he's not amazing)

It's pretty bad when the adc outwards the entire team...

^^dont know what that means sorry, could you explain it?^^ and about the runes, as i have said in a previous comment, i will be working to get T3 runes now Thank you for the advice!

item 2044 item 3340 item 2043 Are all items that place wards. A ward is basically an item that, when placed, grants vision of the area they are placed at. Based on the type of ward used, it may affect the duration and if a vision (refered to by many players as a "pink") ward is placed, it can grant vision of wards in the area it has vision of.

1 Player may have a maximum of 3 Stealth AKA "green" wards on the map at any given time. If a player attemps to place another, the 1st ward placed by that player will be killed and the new one will be placed. Green wards come from item 2049 , item 2045 , item 2044 , item 3340 , and item 3361 . By default, the two yellow items are called trinkets, and have a cooldown for how often wards can be accumulated by them. Wards placed by these will also have shortened durations, so as a support they aren't that great to have around once you are able to get your sightstone.

1 Player may also have only 1 Pink ward on the map at any given time, following the same rules for replacement as stated above. item 2049 is an item that gives you 4 wards every time you are in the section of your base you are able to buy items in. It costs 800 gold, so after about 7 minutes into the game you should have enough gold. This generally corresponds with the same time that the adc will have enough gold for their B.F. sword, so try to push and back during this time. When you get your sightstone, replace item 3340 with item 3341 .

item 3341 allows you to reveal, and kill any wards in the area it is used. For the duration of the time that it reveals the wards, it also disabled their vision. If you find wards and kill them, they will grant you gold for the kill based on the type of ward killed.
