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

[quote=FalseoGod][quote=Blian][quote=FalseoGod][quote=lanilwow][quote=Blian]Okay so here is the thing. At the champion select look up at least a few member of your team on op.gg and you can immediately see how bad or eventually good they are. If you see there is a good chance for a defeat just pick a support who can carry later on such as [[Karma]], [[Morgana]], [[Brand]], [[Vel'Koz]] or an absolutely non-conventional [[Rengar]] or AP [[Miss Fortune]]. But you can also pick a support who can easily win the game for your team with it's split pushing abilities like AD [[Malzahar]]. And when they call you a troll or noob you just respond like this: you can thank me later.[/quote] That sounds like good advice. I'll give it a shot![/quote] Don't take AD Malz as a support for the love of Blow'Gath.[/quote] What's wrong with AD [[Malzahar]]?[/quote] AD Malz support needs a lot more items to be effective in terms of damage than, say, AP Malz support (and even ap malz has very obvious flaws). Regarding [[nidalee]], my only issue with her still is her complete lack of cc. Basically, if you get ganked she just dumps you by jumping away and maybe MAYBE heals you with E and bids you good luck. Even rengar and jarvan support got a bit more options towards aiding the carry[/quote]

[quote=UnstoppableBacon]I followed some of the rules and just worried about what I could do without trying to hard. Won easily. Maybe a the number one point of this should be to just play your role and don't try to do everything. I let guys die who I would have jumped into save before and the game went better.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][quote=UnstoppableBacon]I let guys die who I would have jumped into save before and the game went better.[/quote] This is an important point. Sometimes you just need to let a teammate die rather than making a bad situation worse by giving up a double kill.[/quote]

[quote=nobigdealbro]Great post. I don't know. I'm currently in MMR/LP free-fall after duoing with my buddy for a bunch of games and just getting bad matchup after bad matchup. We don't rage, we generally make good decisions. Same as every other complaint about elo hell you hear out there, but I'm at a total loss of what to do. The enemy team always seems so much more cohesive. I try to be constructive, beg teammates to be safe and not get caught and to make good decisions and to ward. Last game the enemy Kalista was 11/0 by the 14min mark...[/quote]
