So, after playing ranked for a while...
I aknowledge that I'm silver 4 (I WAS silver 3 but...) and that I'm relatively new to the game. I don't claim to be the best player ever, or even all that good. I don't think I'm terrible, but I don't think I'm the best.
That being said, how do you deal with all the trolls in ranked? I've just been put in 3 games in a row with trolls and got demoted because of it. I put a lot of legitimate effort into playing this game seriously. When I lose because my lane opponent/team was better than me, I try to learn from what they did/mistakes I made and try to improve. But how is it that there are so many trolls? I would like to get to gold ranked this season, and while I don't know if my skill puts me there I have no way of knowing for sure if I keep getting put into games with people who intentionally feed, afk or help the enemy team. Why is it fair that I can be pushed further back in rank because somebody else feels like being a jerk today?
I guess I just want some tips for how to climb even when you keep getting matched with people like that. Thanks in advance!
I know exactly how you feel that is how I used to be aswell, I used to lose tons of games from afks feeds and trolls but once really dug down and gave it a little bit more effort I slowly improved and broke through Gold and instantly to plat. I am currently Diamond V and I still think I have a ton to improve on.
