Every time I try to get into this game I get chain auto-losses that wreck my ELO. I think my skill level is around 1650-1750, but recently went on a streak losing 200 ELO in 3 days. Literally, 80% of these games I could not win. Afkers, massive feeding, intentional feeding, trolling, etc, I've seen it all. I'm by no means incredible at this game, but most of the time I perform my role well.

The best example is a game were within 15 minutes I was 8-0-5 with Sion. I killed the enemy jungler several times, dominated my lane, and dropped in on mid lane, but 3 of my team members were so ridiculously weak players that we would lose every single team fight, they'd literally die without doing anything meaningful.

The point of my post is mostly to rant so I feel better, because I am definitely pretty disillusioned at this point, but also to ask: What the hell can I do. No carry seems to work, I cannot win a literal 2v5, 3v5, which most of my games are. I've tried Pantheon, Corki, Sion, and Warwick. I'd say I'm quite good at Sion and Warwick, while being above average with the others, but it just doesn't matter how well I do my role, the team will fall short. It's just so damn frustrating. Ughahaahahgcgfgfherrrrrgggggggggggg.

Can people stop this please? We're all rational people. Your skill level RIGHT NOW is the number that shows up on your profile. The skill level YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE is a goal to obtain, not what you are right now.

If this wasn't a team game I would agree with you.

Not really, just because it is a team game people use games where they did well and allies did bad as excuses for their reasonings but NEVER look at these games where they were bad or mediocore (and i'm pretty sure they play mediocore in at least 50% of their games - aka they are at the elo they should be).

BTW - Anyone saw Jiji's stream atm? God, this game was SO amazing. They lost mid inhi and most towers while enemies had only outer towers down and took like 2 barons? And yet Jiji won his team the game, he was like 17/3 while every other player in his team was negative. Does this guy complain about elo hell? No, he carries his bad teammates

It's a mix. I've had games where a teammate gets raged and intentionally feeds and/or quits. Just last night we had a veigar instant-lock in as veigar despite our team already having mostly AP champs. He fed bot 0-3 and then quit. Pretty lame.

But I've also had games where someone on the enemy team rages/quits. Free win.

And I've had games where I'm clearly the weakest link on the team. All those guys at 2k ELO have clearly done something right to get there in the first place.

So russians finally starts appearing at about 1300 ELO
champ select:
"me gang / trynd"

other russian last picks morde and goes bot with ezreal

first pick sivir goes 0/6 within 6 minutes of the game and bot lane dies early aswell.

Trynd and Morde continues to spam random jibberish in russian, sell all their gear and go afk / plant wards all across the map at about the 12min mark. Second pick ezreal goes afk on and off and reaches level 7 25 minutes into the game.

I guess you "deserve your ELO" right? If you can't carry your team hard enough you cant raise ELO.

Its true I guess, but isn't that statement given with the asumption that your team doesn't go afk?

... ELO heaven baby, ELO heaven

There's nothing worse than people who press the play button and then continues to troll the shit out of people.. I wish there was like active moderation of LoL where they can ban people, disqualify the game, right as shit happens sort of like GMs in WoW.

Look, I didn't say that people don't over-estimate their abilities or talk themselves up. BUT, you have to be taking some elitest jack off juice to think that Elo in a game which puts you with 4 other players could accurately measure individual skill. I'm not saying it is always grossly off but to say that someone's skill level is all of a sudden 200 points below their average because of a dive simply because he had a round of bad luck or was frustrated and kept playing is dumb.

Uhm i didn't say anything like that. I absolutely agree with what you said, you can't judge someone's skill by a single event. This doesn't change the fact that you CAN'T say "I think my skill level is 1750 elo but i'm stuck playing with retards"... If your skill level IS 1750 elo you will get there, you know why? Because the more games you play the lesser the influence of luck is on your elo.
