This is a link to my match history for a game I just played. I just not sure if it is worth it. I feel like I am the only one on my team who is even trying. It's got to the point where I don't even get mad when my teammates do poorly. I just accept it as common place.

The enemy Mordekaiser did so poorly cause I lanned against him and shut him down. It almost feels like the Mordekaiser and I should have been switched. Why does match making put me on a team of weaker players while the Mordekaiser gets carried. It happens so much. It even depressed me to the point I started loosing ranked games and playing terribly. Do I have bad MMR and that's why I get stuck on these teams or are the rito gods angry with me. Am I just another try hard who should stop playing ranked?

Edit: I am not here to rant. I am here to ask what should I do (if anything), how should I interpret this. Should I make another account to get higher MMR? Any advice from more experienced players would be helpful.

Looks like your other lanes were at a disadvantage in that game (Ashe vs Caitlyn, Fizz vs Ahri)

My suggestion on the matter: Spend less time in Ranked Draft, and more time in Normals. You've already chained in ten ranked matches today, and lost six.

If you lose at least twice in a row, then it would help to take a break every so often. Get in those deep breaths, close your eyes, listen to whatever music puts you into a state of deep enlightenment, watch favorite shows, shower, eat, talk or text to friends and family... And take as much time as you want with those things. It could be for an hour, it could be for a couple days, YOU make the call.

Then go through normals, find those champs with whom you click, and play them until you get that inner sense of what to do with them. I do it with Vi, you can do it with Urgot if you know how to utilize him. Find comfort with at least one champion for each of the five positions in the meta (at most, two mains plus a fallback, or very forgiving and easy champion, per position). THEN go into Ranked at your own pace. And focus on how well you play, and less on how your team does. If there's a risk of flaming, or you don't want to get to that point of depression, I strongly suggest the Mute option via the Scoreboard.

One more thing: You're Silver 4. I finished at the bottom of Bronze 4 last season because of losing streaks, and will likely be there when I finish my placements. So you're at least better than one person here. Best of luck :P

from what i heard from one of the pro players basically: urgot is good 1v1, but isn't good in a team setting.

you basically are asking to win lane, lose game if you are forced to play vs more than one person, unless you are a much better player.

Don't play Urgot, Yorick and Skarner?

I play Talon and i have carried myself from bronze 3 to silver 2 so far and I'm still climbing. Eventually you will reach a point where your players on your team are competent enough where you don't have to carry them. For example. Bronze was easy to carry sicne everyone is bad and even when teh toerh team is fed they dont know how to close a game out. Silver 5-3 kids feed like crazy and its really hard to carry there. Kids are dumb enough to feed really hard but, not bad enough that they don't know to force objectives. Silver 2 is when i started playing with kids who actually knew how to play their roles properly and the burden of carrying is almost non-existent for me. You have to really just do your part and your team with do theirs.

I would tell you that you need to play more OP champs. And roam a lot and ward in all the main ganking lanes

http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/50891013#ranked-stats ok these are your stats for this ranked season. Your 3-0 on jinx,3-1 velkoz then lets look at your worst 3-8 on viktor, 6-5 urgot, 0-5 braum.

First you to know what your good at what champs can u spam to do well. Season 4 viktor got reworked hes kinda meh. In lower elo you have to depend less on your team and take matters in to your own hands. The best you can do is play split pushers like tryndamere and master yi. You should learn from voyboy or wingsofdeath how to trade efficiently what runes and masterys they use for trynd. I don't know about yi but find someone who is good at him. Its all about pushing turrets ignoring the team unless your fed then you can have impact on other lanes if your behind then stay in your lane.

You need to set up a shrine and make sacrifices to the elo gods every full moon, on the night of winter and summer solstice, and you need to pray to them before you start queuing up.

They will bless you with better matchmaking and +5% crit chance.
