Marcua·8/3/2015, 1:26:37 PM·1 votes·880 views

Hi there. I have decided to climp the ranked today, but after 4 games and 4 Looses, the only thing i have done is to demote myself... I play in Silver IV, and now im Down to Silver V Again. Out of the 4 lost games, i only think i deserve to Loose 1 of them. In the other 3 games i actually played very good. I know wat you think now. OMG!! The Noob blame he's teammates for he's mistakes!!! But I will never blame my teammates. It doenst help on the match, so why should i? But my teammates flame me much.. and then they rage quit. I really hate it. Im scared for getting chatbanned now, cause after every ranked game i get a report... But i dont do anything :/ I will ask you Guys if you have some good Tips for win more ranked games? I feel like i cant stop play ranked now, when i lost like 80 LP :) Should i go over to only play ranked, or should i take a break whit it? Hope you can help.

P.S The only thing i say that can be a bit "flame" Is to say :That was bad, but dont worry, we win: And :Why do that :d: I also often say when we are about to Loose :WE WIN THIS DONT WORRY: Maybe can that be seen as flame :)

The matchmaking system has NOTHING to do with KDA. The more you win, the higher your MMR. The more you lose, the lower your MMR. If you beat people with a bit higher MMR, your MMR will go up more. If you lose to people with a lower MMR, your MMR will drop more. You are matched with and against players with a similar MMR (not rank). For example, I have one account in Silver V, but my MMR is about that of a Bronze I, so a lot my matches are against Bronze I and II guys.

Don't worry about 4 losses. Don't worry about LP. Your MMR is what you should care about. The higher your MMR (compared to your rank), the more LP you gain per win. The lower your MMR (compared to your rank) the more LP you lose per loss.

So if you lose a lot of LP, but you are winning more than you're losing, you'll eventually climb.

This account that I'm posting from was a Bronze V with terrible MMR. I was only winning about 8 LP and losing 24. However, after forgetting about LP and just grinding out wins, in my last 7 games, I am 7-0 and went from 0 LP to 100 LP and 1 win in my promotional series.

I think that system somehow marks you for winning or losing and matches accordingly (e.g. people on losing streaks, with horrible KDA, don't know exactly how it works). If you are on winning streak, you can pick Poppy support and your team will still carry you even if you do moderately bad. But interesting things start when you get your loss streak. You are going to lose a few games, that's for sure, but you have to fight for every winning opportunity. You need only one comeback to climb 40 lp (difference between loss and win in case of an average mmr). That also counts for winning streaks. If you lose a game you were supposed to win you drop. Just be consistent. One game, only one game where you decide to troll a bit or throw, drops you ~40 lp

Looks like you need to have more positivity, according to what you say your gameplay is fine. Yeah, I'm Bronze V hahahahah but I've learned a few tips on how to improve your mindset.

Turn off All Chat. This is normally where all the flamers are that get in your mind. Your lane opponent may say "Lol noob you're 0/5." This normally gets in your head and makes you a little mad. So just turn off All Chat.
If you have a hard time with someone just mute them. If they threaten to report you just stop talking. Just ping, ward, do what you have to do, do everything but chat.
Try and be as positive as possible in champ select. That is where all the hate and rage comes from. If someone's on tilt, try and cheer them up. If they don't like it, tell your teammates not to bother him and to tell him to off all chat for more chance of raging.

Hope these tips help you!

It seems you aren't doing well lately because your last 4 games had bad KDA. I would take a break or just play normals for a while.

If you want to climb from Silver you need to improve your CSing and KDA even more. Going 12/12/4 with 150 minions in 46 minutes just isn't good enough. You often die 7+ times in your games. You need fewer deaths in order to carry. Try playing safer, ward more, and try to get your team to get objectives (dragon, towers). And try to be positive even if other people are flaming! No one likes hearing about mistakes or that they are going to lose.
