Views: 579 The 99LP Trap
|
Ah again it happened!
Played my last game to come into promo (B5 => B4).. and I get just enough points to NOT enter... now 99LP, thank you LoL :)
Really, is it bad luck or what´s the matter? It happened a few times now. Seems it´s on purpose. I could understand to do this in high ELO regions, but please, B5 should MOTIVATE you to play more and to try to improve...
So what will happen now: My average win rate is for sure not above 51%.. I will win next game, then fail 2 games, then will be back on 75LP or so. Damn!

no I play on EUW, sorry. Actually it turned out that I failed the first promo, but then I passed the second one, and now I am again on the rise, playing mostly Mordekaiser, a dream champ to play haha. Lets see, I always feel that constant win or loss streaks are odd and "unnatural" if you think about the factor of randomness. So it seems my playstyle really has some influence ;)

It sounds like you need to re-evaluate your playstyle a little bit. Remember that when looking at games in aggregate, you are the only variable - all other factors pointing to wins or losses will cancel out.
You just need to keep looking for a way you can change your playstyle to win games. The thing that got me past my silver league was learning how to dodge like 90% of skillshots, learning how to not take free damage, hitting 90% of my skillshots, and learning how to deal damage without taking any.
If you are on NA, and are looking for some lessons on this kinda thing, you can just add me and i'll try to coach you a little on this (for free ofc).
