I'm at a loss, could use advice

[quote=Siwagod]I find that if I'm in a game where my team is utterly failing and it is basically a gg situation, I just start working on tricky crap to see just how much bs I can get away with. If it's going to be a loss, who cares if you screw it up. And hell, you might just learn a sneaky thing that you can incorporate into your everyday playstyle. Random stuff man like baiting, seeing if you can catch one or two people out, hurt them a bit and then escape. Finding alternate ways to farm things, jump walls while throwing balls, juking. There is lot's of fun to be had when you no longer care. Was a 4v5 one game where we were getting smashed. I was J4. My team were all screaming at each other and going rambo. So I just tanked up and started running around their jungle, harrassing their support. Rarely killed him, but would drive him nuts. Whole team coming? Draw into jungle, ulti whole team into instant flash out, dive over wall and run off into their well. They're just like "Whut?" But now I know how fast I can ulti flash E>Q combo. So I win.[/quote]

[quote=nobigdealbro]Managed to win something like 16 of my last 20 to claw my way back to Silver 3 where I started. Per advice here, I: - played sober - played my main role when at all possible - focused on farming more - played more cautiously in lane It's strange though because there were not any trolls on my teams period. 20 games with no trolls? Wut? Anyway, playing cautiously and just farming in lane were huge. So many times normally I'd roll the dice and push too far to be punished. Thanks again for the positive input.[/quote]

[quote=MasterOfLore]If you really want to win a ranked game, then you have to take it up on yourself. The only way of doing that is learning roles that can carry. I personally like to play ADC. I always win laning phase but that is NOT all. You have to stay alive as much as possible. This is my motto : [color=#00ffff]"If I won a match as ADC, but died more than 4 times, then that is a bad game"[/color]. You are the change and you can make a huge difference as a player in solo-queue. If you see that your team is incompetent, you have to become the [color=#00ffff]leader[/color]. [color=#00ff00]As a leader, you have to call objectives, organise ganks, call group-ups, tell your team when to back.[/color] You have to avoid, at any cost making stupid mistakes like overstaying or chasing into the fog. Oh my god, chasing into the fog is the absolute WORST. Their whole team will show up. Also, when in laning phase focus JUST on [color=#ff8000]your game, even if your top lane dies and gives first blood to [[nasus]][/color]. Let me explain you: if you die and if you have most of your team's kills, then the teamfight is lost. You have to try to grasp OBJECTIVES to get [color=#ffff00]global gold[/color]. Global gold wins the match. I remember one game where I was playing [[caitlyn]] against [[varus]]. He had 8/3 and I had 3/2. However I was ahead of him with 3,000 gold just because I farm and don't die. He gave me 3 kills, one of them was a Shut Down. So what can we understand from this example ? [color=#ff0000]Never, never trade kill for kill when you are ahead, because the enemy needs that kill more than you do ![/color] And I always see greedy people and I am like : "oh, god". I eventually won that game. Do you know what [[varus]] said : "Report my team, noobs". He didn't position correctly in fights and died, mentioning he had more than half of his team kills. Sad. He could've easily won the match. Also, you have to communicate. Communication starts from the champion select. I always ask my mates what lanes they prefer and I politely ask if I could go ADC, showing them my [color=#ffff00]LoLKing[/color], because I'm good. If you lost more that 2 game in a row, stop playing for a little bit, maybe go to sleep a couple of hours. [color=#00ffff]And remember: never, never give up ![/color] "A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!" [color=#ffffff]Aragorn knows it :)[/color][/quote]
