Forever stuck in Bronze V.
Yo, so recently I've been having some really bad games back to back. This isn't my first time I have been on a losing streak, but its probably the most depressing.
So, let me explain. Back in late 2014, I joined League due to its extreme popularity. However, I was extremely bad, and decided to quit until one of my classmates revealed to me that he would start playing League, which caused me to reinstall it. We both were noobs, and I still sucked. In fact, I say until level 21 we were both meh players at best.
Then, at Level 21, I ju8st seemingly skyrocketed. I carried every single game, I did extremely well always. This was until about level 28, where I went on tilt for a whole week. I did manage to come back though, but never as good. Or maybe, the teams I was playing against just were never as bad. In any case, I still managed to carry hard most of the time. During this time. I have played in a party with Plat, Gold and Silver players, and all manages to outperform them. So, I thought when I got to Ranked, I would be on my way to Diamond.
Wrong. I tried carrying my first two provisional matches in Ranked and failed. Then, I realized that I had a big weakness in the lane I was playing. I main top, and in normal mode, I either push the enemy top out of the lane, or at least make it go to a stand still, so I can gank bot and usually carry from there. However in ranked, there is a huge focus on your Cs, and Im absolutely dreadful at farming. I had been practicing for at least a month before I knew I would start doing ranked. If Im not being pressured, Im fine. However, that hardly ever happens. Im always being attacked, and since I dont want to risk feeding, I get zoned under turret, and get very low cs, because the opponent laner has me low on hp, and if I l recall, I will fall 2 levels behind. I ask for a gank, but the jungler always has to deal with the bot lane which is usually feeding.
So I lost all 10 provisional matches. Somewhere during my 4 lost however, I had already given up. Some of the best players I knew ended up in Bronze from their provisionals. I ended up in Bronze IV. My friend had gotten extremely depressed, and wanted to uninstall league, but I was trying to tell him that the provisionals were rigged and we both we good enough to get out of Bronze quickly. After all, even some of the Gold and Plat players were played with said we were good enough.
Well. My optimism quickly went down the drain. I lost 4 games straight in Bronze IV. I got zoned hard, counter picked, and generally did not do anyone near as good as I should have. I never fed, but I was a loooooong way from back when I hypercarried every game. Im not lying when I say every lane fed. Nobody wards. The map awareness is terrible. One person always go afk, I have yet to play a full 5v5 match.
I quickly got demoted to Bronze V, with 75LP. Quickly lost every game in that division, and now Im the last of my division with 0 LP. I'm now a much better laner, I trade much more efficiently, and never fall behind in Cs, even if Im being camped. When I do play normal, I absolutely destroy the game, but I don't play that anymore because obviously, its not helping me improve. I still cant carry because bot lane usually feeds, and if I go to gank and dont get anything out of it, then I fall behind in my lane, which is pointless. Also,my teammates are much to stubborn to let me carry. Tney want to get ot of B5, but aren't good enough to do it with no help, which ironically keeps them in B5. I even try to main jungle now, and most of the time they will see you coming for a gank, and do absolutely nothing. I tell them to get by turret so when I do gank, the enemy will be forced to take damaged before they run. Especially if I have any cc.
I dunno if its tilt. I remember the last time I went on tilt. and I felt much worse than I do now. I don't feel that angry at the situation really. However, my win rate has fallen to a terrible 3.13%. I also think that being in this toxic elo has literally made me worse as a player, alot worst. I play like Im in B5. I will admit, I probably give up to easy. However, I ALWAYS know when we are about to lose. Always. I've played 32 ranked games and only won 1, and out of the 31 I lost, I predicted about 25 were done deals before they ended. I know, its always obvious. At this point, I dont even care about how I do, or if I win or lose. I used to never go negative, now I always go negative(by a lot). Dont get me wrong, I* never feed, I can make some pretty outstanding plays, my cs game is respectable, I always ward, I ping overtime(Usually it the chat it was be a list of just my pings), I build to the game in progress, I keep good track of objectives(Including Drag and Baron),I always know when to engage and disengage, Im great at teamfighting and Im very map aware. So, Im not just do shitty for fun. I just always know that I will lose because either a mistake either I or my teammates made. I dont care about shitty KD rations anymore since I do usually have a lot of assist and do help a great deal in team fights after the laning phrase. Still what do I do to get this 3.13 percent win rate up, and go back to playing good as my higher elo friends expect me to, not bad like my Elo tier expects me to?
Btw: Another reason I never win Bronze games is because nobody pushes. Ever. Even if we ace. They just roam the map or go to base, even with full hp. If I go ahead by myself, I get destoyed. Chances are though, I already knew we lost because my team has already shown that they dont have good skill. So it never upsets me.
TLDR: The players suck, I cant carry, no cooperation, causing me to do extremely poor, i give up because of this,
