7 Reasons You Lose Ranked Games (How to Get Out...

[quote=Blian]Imho, it would be a very simple task to climb up until Gold 1 at least if you could play all your games with people who has common sense and knows the basics not with trolls who do not communicate in the champion select and wants to duo top when they are last to pick but insist going top. I know it is just a game and as I am a sportsman (volleyball) in real life I know there is always a better team and if your team do the best sometimes it is not enough and you just have to deal with it. But when you constantly play with people who should never ever installed this game (or started to play ranked) that hurts. I don't have 6-8 hours per day to sit in front of the computer playing LoL. Somedays I can only play a few games and when those games are ruined by retards yes that makes me sick and I just wanna throw out my iMac on the window. So what I wanted to say is those 7 rules only apply on teams without trolls and noobs so basically doesn't apply in soloQ.[/quote]

[quote=Slappiz][color=#ffff00][h3]8. The Hangover[/h3][/color] You drank too much alcohol the day before and can't focus your eyes on a screen without having a struggle to keep your breakfast down. [h4]This seems the be the reason why I've been losing the last few days.[/h4][/quote]

[quote=Hatted]Or, the alternative which seems to happen, the other lanes feed to no end. D: But yeah, I blow. I've actually never played Heroes of the League of Dota Smite.[/quote]

If the people you play with were trolls, then they wouldn't deserve to be in gold. So why would you expect the climb to gold to be easy? We all get trolls. You choose how to handle them. They are carryable. Maybe not in all games, but in a lot. And I hate to say it, but 99% of people that blame their teams are usually the ones that deserve silver or bronze. They are incapable of looking at their own mistakes and understanding what they can do to improve their own gameplay and win more games. I just gave you some really helpful advice, yet you still blame your team and say it doesn't apply to you. You will never gain elo until you can look at what you are doing wrong. Just looking at your summoner profile, I see you can improve greatly in CSing just in your last 10 matches: - Anivia game with 28cs @ 21 minutes - Anivia game with 61cs @ 30 minutes - Anivia game with 205cs @ 52 minutes - Anivia game with 149cs @ 52 minutes - Jayce game with 107cs @ 30 minutes Those are not the CS numbers of a gold player. Until you can CS like a gold player, it's unfair of you to say you lose games because of "retards." Last hitting is the most basic fundamental in the game and you need to be able to do it well if you want to advance. Otherwise it's no wonder you often lose lane. Not trying to be harsh, but I really don't appreciate it when people say "I only lose cuz I get matched up with noobs" and then you take one look at their profile and they have glaring problems. If you rage in game and have poor awareness on top of that, you have even lower chances of winning.[/quote]

[quote=Blian]Those CSs are pretty good for a support, aren't they? ;) And when I just wanna have clear out my mind I always go and play Zilean or Anivia support in normal. I am not saying I deserve to be Diamond or such but my understanding of this game and knowledge on different strategies, champions and all are way better than hell division. I am not going to argue on this. Regarding to the [[Jayce]] game: I suggested to start 2 top ([[Morgana]] and [[Tristana]]) as the enemy team chose [[Jarvan IV]] to lane and not to Jungle and as we didn't have any tank in our team I knew that he is going to be a pain in the ars late game so I told them just not to let him farm and take down the tower fast while I can hold back bot ([[Blitzcrank]] and [[Caitlyn]]) with some jungle presence. I got zero help from our jungle while he was babysitting top and giving triple kills to pre-6 [[Jarvan IV]].. nuff said.[/quote]

No? I guess I just blew your mind.[/quote]

I've never heard anyone above silver constantly blame their teams for their inability to advance. It is usually lower elo players that deserve to be there until they can improve and realize what they are doing wrong. Google the Dunning Kruger effect.[/quote]

[quote=Shaldares]Ahem what, exactly? I sense that you are trying to make a point, yet no point has been made. Not saying I disagree with you, but ahem is not much of a point. I guess neither is this, but ok.[/quote]
