Hey man. I would like you to do this in the best way for yourself and also for your teammates.
I have to options that you can pick from. And it goes like this:

1. You can wait one month not playing ranked. I dropped down from Gold to Silver, because of inactivity in ranked games. You can still play normal games.

2. Another way to do this, to not get up from Bronze to Silver, or Silver to Gold etc. is to just leave while you are in champ select. This will give you penalty if done to much (not recommended) and people will rage because you they have to go in select again, but you are not giving them a loss. Leave when you are in promo, and you will lose it. Because leaving champ select counts as loss in promo games.

Hope this helped you out! :)

^ Neither of those actually lower your MMR.

^ Correct. They will lower your tiers/divisions/LP, but it doesn't affect your MMR. The only thing that affects your MMR is playing games.

Some of these guys are being kinda *******ish to you tbh. Not quite sure why - some of the things you said I disagree with, but I'm not holding it against you as a person like some other people are LOL.

One thing that I'd like to remind you about though, is that League is a game of imperfect knowledge. I'll try to illustrate this in a table below:
x "correct decisions" "incorrect decisions"
Things you know Correct Decisions that you know you've made Incorrect Decisions that you know you've made
Things you DON'T know Correct Decisions that you DO NOT know you've made Incorrect Decisions that you DO NOT know you've made

Part of the reason why I'd advise you to play against people is because there are some things that you do against bots that you wouldn't be able to get away with against human players. Since human players are a little less predictable, playing PvP allows you to train yourself to adapt to your opponents behavior and learn to proactively make decisions on their play style while under pressure.

Because the games are more variable and dynamic, you'll face a lot more situations where you can identify the mistakes you made, but ALSO, reflect and speculate on things that you did that kinda worked out (i.e. Identifying correct decisions that you didn't know you had made, and incorrect decisions that you didn't know you had made).

Those two bolded chart areas are usually what holds people back from improving. Lots of people I mentor say that, "There was nothing I could have done better in this game", or "There was nothing I could have done differently to change the outcome of this game" - which is almost never true, unless it's a 4v5 or something.


Awesome chart. So true the A.I are more stupid than Real players. I already know my playing style is cautious when running support,(very squishy) but I need to improve on the mistakes I know i make with the champions i'm working on, facing real players & their styles takes time & patience, because how many players out there play lol. I guarantee I will find more mistakes I make to work on against different champions. Every champion has a advantage over another champion, so I'm just working on 3 champions @ a time which are Lissandra Jinx Sona. Futhermore I will have to expand my horizons like working on a tank champion.


When playing against A.I i could imagine myself being easily gank & viceversa find holes faster to improve on my ganking. The ONLY thing not improving during bot matches is "Warding", who wards against easy A.I no one really.

So true ^^^ but thx anwyays ArgusGaming I rather play games to lower my MMR if no other option not on purpose.

It's official I'm not doing anymore Ranked until i have successfull rune pages. My AP 13% going up against someone who has 26% & better MP ,yea no way in hell I'm wining my lane.

Somebody that wants their MMR to go down? Now THAT is something I could help out with!! Bronze V and hovering around 0 LP baby!! Just let me help you do the same!! :)

Honestly, if you are going into ranked games and getting stomped it is because you are not very good. I don’t say that in a mean way, but just to be honest. I have a hell of a time winning ranked games. Why? I it is because I am not very good. I have been playing this game for about a year, and I have probably invested 1000s of hours into playing, watching videos, reading information, etc. I do really enjoy the game, but (at least for me) it is a tough game to learn. I have steadily been improving at the game though.

There are things you can improve in playing against bots, but it is limited. It is not a bad way to get a feel for a champion’s skills and to get yourself used to learning basic combos and such with that champion. Once you are able to 1v1 easily versus an intermediate bot, then I am not sure how much there is to learn. A 1v5 might be a challenge, but running lane to lane getting kills and snowballing does not help you win a ranked game. The bots don’t know how to finish off games and they will always run into a wave of minions to chase you if you are low health (they do not care that you have heal, flash and your ult up). If you honestly think that warding is the ONLY thing you don’t learn in bot games you have a lot to learn. I have yet to see the bots start with a 5 man invade or bait a fight at Baron. They don’t even have a basic clue on how to deal with split pushing.

Starting a new account and focusing on playing PvP games and learning new champions and roles is not a bad idea (the down side you will you have a very limited champion pool). That is what I did when I hit level 30 with maybe 20 PvP wins and no confidence to play any role other than support.

Incidentally, MMR is different for every single queue. I.e. Ranked has its own MMR, TT has its own MMR, Normal queues has its own MMR, Dominion has its own MMR, etc.

So if you want to specifically lower your RANKED MMR, you have to play (and lose) ranked.

The Wickd quote was mainly targetting the fact that he's probably only going to be playing one game with you sirell.

In the short run you may not learn anything from getting stomped, but in the long run, if you man up and accept the fact that you might feed every game, you will improve by noticing how you could improve in your own play.

This is actually one reason why people choose to elo boost - it sets them on a higher skill platform and allows them to actually play with better people rather than having to grind out on a similar skill level. It helps them improve (if they actually utilize it well enough).

If you don't like feeding every game / being a detrimental factor to your team then just play normals / with friends, but having a high MMR is always a good thing for improvement if you actually can man-up and take criticism

Well, the point is actually the fact he was stomping so hard at one point that there wasn't anything he could teach to his viewers on Twitch. He would just show up in lane, roll his face into the keyboard and come up with another kill.

There wasn't anything he could teach to his viewers at that point. The important part is to analyze exactly how/when/why he got fed. By the time he could faceroll his keyboard and get a doublekill the game was already over and there wasn't much to learn.
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!
