Don't expect to be 1700 after a break like that. Just accept the fact that you've gotten worse and aren't a 1700 elo player anymore and work on getting your skill back. | ||

It'll probably get better with time. The trolls are just compounding the problem. | ||

This has been literally 5 of the last 6 games for me. I have replays to prove them if anyone cares to find out. http://www.mediafire.com/?rr76xzkzl1i0kxw In champ select: fp goes TF, says we need a jungle I say OK, I pick fiddle immediately, and then at the very end of 30s countdown 3rd pick takes nocturne, locks smite, says nothing. I say OK, I'll go top. Next picks: Irelia, garen. Irelia demands top or afk. I go bot with fiddle, get killed over and over because I am fiddle in the bot lane, get blamed all game for it, and reported by every member of my team. Inb4 I get banned for knowing how the fucking champs work. This seems irrelevant but I don't understand how to even begin learning to play again when this shit happens every single game. I'm so mad I would literally, given the chance without legal consequences IRL, seriously maim my teammates these last few games without a second's hesitation or a moment's regret. It's my honest belief that they don't deserve to live, and, objectively speaking, I know exactly how disgusting that is. I don't know what's wrong with me or anyone else and it's making me sick. =/ Now I can't sleep. | ||

Also I'm not so sure what the problem with a Fiddle+Garen lane is... max fear, camp brush. If your team decides that they want to create a retarded team comp, you gotta be creative with your champ. | ||

I know this sounds stupid, cause you just took such a long break, but if your feeling down, not having fun, and are on a losing streak. Take a short break, and hour or two. I like to take a shower personally. | ||

IMO the #1 thing 99% of people stink at (and don't understand that they stink at) in this game is initiating, or starting fights and capitalizing on positioning mistakes (which will inevitably happen, even at the top level of play). Playing backseat heroes like Fiddle doesn't help unless you're Fear initiating, flashing backwards, and then channeling ult ASAP or something gosu like that. Fiddle bot lane is fine by the way, as he is an extremely strong and robust laner (double CC) with tremendous 2v2 damage if the other team fails to position properly. He can also roam, and can take most people 1v1 for some time despite minimal items. Edit; Also watching streams are terrible for most people if you're actually trying to learn the game. Yes, this is an amazing thing to realize, but LoL is very strategic, all the way down to hero selection, and a lot of shit people pull in top-level streams is never going to apply to you unless you have the determination to become similarly a top-level player... and even then with a lot of playstyle swaps and preferences you're not going to have a similar setup, most likely. So unless you're watching streams to properly analyze why people are doing what, watching these things will degenerate your play and turn you into a talk the talk piece of trash. | ||

if you want to get better, just get a few good ppl to scrim 5v5 with, you will improve , realistically, the fastest that way. i suppose another way to say this is, it is better to die assuming your teammate is good and will make correct plays, then to play passive and miss opportunities. | ||

This statement explains most of the frustration people have with soloqq. It is so easy to become angry at the people you encounter in soloqq and just go into F*** you guys i've got to farm to 1v5 the other team because my team is useless. Then soloqq becomes a 1v1v1v1v1 vs. 5. If anything whenever you soloqueue communicate and give your teammates a chance if they aren't responding as quickly as you'd like then next time you know. | ||

Fidds is considered op in high elo. | ||
