So, feeding is out of control at top lane!

Lyless··3 votes·1,961 views

So now every game I am in top lane just feeds. I mean it ruins the game and we lose of course. And this is done on purpose. SO, what do the experts suggest I do about Top constantly feeding and losing the game for us.

I'm gonna be blunt: you have a 37% win rate over ~300 games in B5 this season. You have a sub-50% winrate on every champion you have played in Ranked except for Ashe, and that's a small sample size on her.

I'm pretty confident in saying that the problem is not your teammates.

I looked at the detailed stats of some of your recent games. I'm not seeing these intentionally feeding teammates. There have certainly been some matches where your toplaner has struggled, but being 0/4/2 at 20m is not "feeding", that's just regular old losing lane.

If you think the problem is that the toplaners at your MMR are bad, play it yourself.

nothing you said makes logically sense at all.

Can you have bad luck with teammates in the short term? Sure. But it is vanishingly unlikely for you to consistently have way-below-average teammates over a span of several hundred matches. Your teammates and opponents are being chosen from the same pool of players around your current MMR.

AFKs and even intentional feeders even out over the long haul -- in fact, it's more likely for an opponent to AFK/intentionally feed than a teammate, since there are 5 opponents and only 4 teammates in each match.

The only thing you can control is your own play, and over that many matches your own skill is the dominant factor. If you want to climb in Ranked, you need to improve your own play instead of pointing fingers at everyone else.

0/4/2? Oh you mean the game where the top left and stating he was going to feed once we were in game? Yeah, that's totally my fault! That makes no sense.

Honestly top lane is a really changed meta atm most games in current meta your top will feed or their top will feed it is just the state of what is a good pick and juggernauts not having much counter play if you pick a melee which most top lane is melee.

Also if you do pick range like lulu or jayce you can poke and widdle them down but one mistep and things like garen or darius can easily kill or chunk you down to half hp.

Hope that makes sense.

This can even be seen in pro play where LCS and other regions are actually starting to implement more top lane centric compositions and strats such as yasuo top olaf top etc.

Hope this was of some help for you. ;)

take the losses just realize you are doing the whole community a favor by ensuring trash does not get free carried up ELO.

It's getting to the point where it doesn't even matter how good of a player the individual is when the rest of the team feeds and loses the match for you, a little sad when games are suppose to be fun.

last game I was in they were arguing so much they quit! Surrender in the game very early!

The key here is patience and trying to casually guide them the right way. Just use smart pings and don't blame them. Try to have a gentle tone and make it sound like you're genuinely trying to give them advice. It'll show a big improvement.

You aren't understanding. They aren't reasonable people. They don't listen to pings they just blame and start fights then quit. They stay at base and quit or afk afterwards. How can I not blame someone for something they said they were going to do?

Still the key is attitude. They don't know what they're doing and they're frustrated cuz they think they do. That's about it.

Teamwork is the key not attitude. We all know a 4vs5 game is harder for the team who has 4. We start and we go from there. Your second sentence makes no sense. This is what's happening. I do know what happening and it's not possible to stop it. Once a Darius or Jax top becomes fed it's nearly impossible to beat him and win the game. Keep in mind the other 4 aren't just standing around doing nothing.

The problem with you guys is simple. You make matter of fact statements without knowing what the exact situation is so you blame the player because that's the easy/lazy thing to do.

it's like I have always said drop any higher elo player in a Bronze 5 game with the top feeding then leaving the game and maybe another player who's not doing so well either you would lose the game. I don't care if you are Silver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum or whatever. You cannot win that game if your team is not united and the enemy team is.

It's a contest. They are proving you they can feed harder.

Are you up to the challenge?

Ranked games are not for fun, if you want to enjoy the game then stick to normals because ranked is hella toxic.

Well then that needs to change. Why are you just accepting things as they are? That's dumb. There is no game without the players and what they allow to happen.

If you honestly want to enjoy the game to the fullest then it's probably best played with a group of friends in normals. Honestly I like ranked because of that adrenaline rush but I will admit that I meet the most toxic players in ranked. Also the toxicity will never die out, league is mostly made up of toxic/trolls. But if you don't let that get to you then it's no problem :) imagine how many strokes people have gotten from over raging while playing this game.

Ranked games have fun with me. I just thought I'd return the favor

In ranked I pick Gnar or Garen. In normals when I want to play fun champs, like Singed I always get matched up agaisnt Fiora, Garen, or Darius.

I have noticed that as well. It seems top lane feeds WAY more than the other lanes right now.
