I'm not a people person. I dislike crowds and meeting strangers, which is why I'm a gamer in the first place. But I enjoy LoL.
This game reminds me of how much I fucking hate most human beings. I'm not being my usual clinically depressed self either, 90% of the people who I've met in this game are such degenerate shitsticks that it makes me wonder if a nuclear apocalypse would be such a bad thing.
I have never genuinely wished that so many people get brutally ravaged by wild animals in a single day as I have since I started playing ranked. Fuck everything about solo queue, I hope these people trip into traffic.

Tbh I feel like soloqueue helps a lot for dealing with people in real life. Before playing LoL, whenever I met someone (irl) that didn't seem too smart to me I automatically tagged him as a retard and proceeded to completely ignore and disregard all his/her actions. When I first started to play I didn't blame others for my own mistakes and didn't wish cancer to anyone (iirc) but I refused to communicate with them, constantly argued with people, tilted very often, complained about team in chat, etc.
After some time playing and after reading thousands of elo hell stories and "why elo hell doesn't exist" essays, I realized that this is a team game and the only thing that matters is to win or to lose, and that your personal performance is worthless if you lose the game. Therefore, you have to do whatever it takes to make your team win. Sometimes you get decent people on your team or even a soloq hero and you have great games most of which you end up winning. But many other times you will get as teammates people who go from sub-optimal players to human trash. Unless you're much better than people in the same rating as you (unlikely unless you're smurfing hard), you won't be able to 1v5 the enemy team for the whole game. Therefore, if you want to win, you have to make your retarded teammates work some way or another.
And then you start to do everyone's work on top of your own work, compliment people for things they didn't do, apologize for things for which you shouldn't apologize, outperform everyone to earn their respect, make people stop arguing as soon as they start to do so, shut down the cancerous teammate that tries to drag everybody else down with him, babysit everybody to make up for their mistakes, initiate, lead and sacrifice if needed yourself so that your team can win the battles and accomplish the objectives, draw on yourself all the enemy aggro to keep your teammates alive, go around saving their asses everytime they get caught while managing not to fall behind, etc. Basically, act like a mother would do with her (retarded) children or a king would do with his (retarded) underlings. Sometimes it doesn't work and you lose, but many times it'll work and you'll feel awesome for being been able to lead your retard gang to the victory, and everyone else will acknowledge so by not commenting on any of your actions for the rest of the game (if they were humble enough to publicly acknowledge your work, your wouldn't have to work so hard in the first place!).
And the whole point of this silly wall of text is that it's helped me a lot irl, in that I seem to have managed to keep this mentality irl, so whenever I get paired with people who don't handle logical thought process very well, confronted to people with a disturbing lack of common sense, or dealing with stupidity overall, I'm now able most of the time to keep a positive mindset, never rage, put up with whatever others do and work for the greater end, etc. I feel now like a much more responsible and mature person thanks to soloqueue terror.
Sorry for this stupid lecture, I just wanted to cheer you up and try to share a more positive view on soloqueue ^^

Just give me a button labeled "Blow up this planet" and i'll press it in a heartbeat.
I never rage at teammates or opponents and always try to find a way to win a game but i sometimes wish i could just rage at them. Yesterday i played support, zoned the enemy tristana and forced her back several times. I managed to prevent Tristana from farming two whole waves... after that i looked at the score screen and saw that my graves was at 31cs, the tristana at 35... how the f*** is that even possible? You could farm better by just a-moving...

One thing that has become frustrating is in solo queue whenever my team wins a team fight we do nothing to capitalise on it, I think only after one win did we do anything and took a tower, after that we kind of did nothing and ended up with half the team trying to push lanes and the other half trying to take dragon/baron and we end up getting nothing. We were 42-34 on them yet in the end it was 45-44 and they won because when they won all 5 took an objective or pushed the lanes and they overpowered us in the end.

Maybe the enemy team did an even better zoning job.

if you're going to play a certain champ and have your heart set on him, please, please try not to get counterpicked. pick later and trade, ban counters... but not this.
friend: HUR I WANT TO PLAY KARTHUS
"does standard bans and a couple jungles" and locks in
gets counterpicked by diana instantly
so bot lane goes alright, taric/ tristana wins by about 30 cs, but no diana is 9/1 at 15 minutes GG
|
From 9-3 to 9-8 w/l record
Mantain the same KDA ratio 2:1:2 (while being helpful and building tank and warding and all that shitty stuff) after 5 losses in a row
Dunno if I should be happy or sad. *~*

I don't understand why I can't go up in ELO when almost every ranked game i either win my lane go even or CRUSH my lane, and im pretty sure i make decent late game calls and im never the one that gets caught late game and i think i do somewhat what im supposed to in team fights
so why can't i go up in elo after TONS of games? I don't get it. I've played normal games with my buddy who is fucking 2600 ranked and we get paired up vs super high players and i do just fine and yet im still fucking stuck at 1200~ elo, wtf?

1200 true elo hell.
Get to 1250, drop to 1150, get to 1250 again, drop to 1150. The last 3 month of my LoL career and no end in sight.
I crush hardcounters in lane and force the enemy jungler to camp my lane 24/7 and my team still lets an enemy get legendary by 15 minutes and then, when i carry them to lategame, they run around like mindless chicken, getting caught 1 by 1 and of course my opponents aren't stupid and always take advantage of a 5v4 and take towers, barons, dragons, etc... which also manages to make my teammates suicide even more.
When i played Skarner a few games ago there was such a typical situation that happens almost every game: Allied Kog'Maw clearing bot, Toplane Elise gets caught in the enemy jungle eventhough the whole team pinged her to go back, so the enemy takes baron... and our support Karthus runs in 1v5 and says "Why no help? They nashor" 5 minutes later, i managed to take both Malzahar and Cait out of each teamfight long enough to allow Kog to clear up and make it a 3-4 for 1-2. Then the enemy takes dragon since they see us defending against superminions. Elise and Karthus both run in blindly (no wards since we were stuck in base), probably to take the dragon themselves i guess, and give the enemy 2 kills and the free victory in addition to the dragon...
Oh, and did i mention the team that tried to 5v5 repeatedly against Malphite Zyra Sona Amumu Tristana eventhough i said "avoid 5v5, go splitpush."?

My normal ELO seems to be 300 higher than my ranked ELO, all opponents have ranked ELO around 1350-1500, and the games feel a lot easier. They just do what i expect them to do and don't suicide as much, so i don't have to play as if it's 1v9. I win lanes even more easily there.

It sounds like you aren't putting enough pressure on objectives.. if you play top, push top towers as far as you can, recall and go gank bot lane and push towers and take drag if it's up. if you play mid, roam, roam roam roam roam. If you play ad-carry buy one or two big items (bt/iedge/tf/pd) and just push towers. Winning your lane is never enough in low elo.
Although I say all this without actually seeing you play, so take my advice with that in mind.

Well tbh if he feeds Diana that much it wouldn't matter what champ he would play heh.

Kog goes zeal -> phage -> BT, into mallet-BT-PD. Then they complain that when I divert fed Ezreal AND Diana (both with GAs anyway) from the rest of the team they can't win 4v3 because "it's against tanks". What, you mean the things Ezreal shreds because he had the brains to buy a LW? Meh. :/
|
Go 6/0 ryze vs cass, crushing my lane so bad. Up 50 cs and two kills on her. Lee is top vs jayce and 50 cs up (No kills but obviously a lot of cs).
Look bot and sivir (Who was the singed in my previous game who rushed banshees veil vs irelia...) is 1/7 and 50 cs behind ezreal. Since they keep chaining sona/amumu on our team we lose fights despite having a better late game.
Man I hate this game sometimes.
|
Arrrrghhhhh fucking matchmaking everytime I manage to improve my winrate it pairs me with the biggest special kids in the queue to drown me back to 50% winrate affff.
As the almighty Garen (hue hue), every game I terrorize the enemy laners by myself and draw them out of the game until they have to go take refuge in another lane while forcing my lane partner to eat all the cs so he can build shiny items and stop being useless then I go mid and make him hide behind his tower (if he didn't die before trying to gank me top) then I go bot and double kill the overextended couple then take the tower then back to pressure mid again then go top again to scare off its former inhabitants who came back thinking it was safe then back to shop to spend my 3k gold then come back to enemy team grouping and pushing mid while I'm away then go in there tank all their nukes zone out the AD carry so hard it's a 4v4, assassinate him then come back to the bulk of the fight... and all my teammates are dead or in the run. I try to salvage what I can, rescue as many teammates as possible, get 1 or 2 more kills, then back to base.
Repeat the same situation a couple more times, always with unfavorable engagements due to teammates roleplaying dora the explorer, getting caught by pulls/stuns or simply jumping in when they shouldn't, and suddenly all the enemy team is so fucking fed they instagib all my teammates and I can't 1v5 them anymore and spend the rest of the game sitting on the towers spamming /laugh to try to get them to dive me and pick someone off while they keep pushing and my teammates spend their time being dead then suiciding over and over.
Every single fucking game. And then once every 10 games I get a really competent team and I'm so used to everyone being braindead that I just walk around contemplating them doing stuff as a mere spectator.
But I won't take this anymore; I sold my soul to the devil. I bought Jax. Quadrakills, here we go!

Here's a good one for you guys.
I'm duoing with a friend in ranked. I'm first pick and call mid, he's jungling.
Another guy says "mid or I feed" and we're like no, you're not going mid. I pick my char.
I screenshot it and tell the guy that if he trolls I'll be sending the SS of him saying mid or feed to Riot in a support ticket.
When it's his turn to pick he says that the char select screen is all black and he can't see any champions and can't pick anything. Randoms Ryze. Says "It's cool, I'll go bot"
15 minutes into the game I'm 6/0/2 and my junglin' friend is 3/0/3, top lane is doing fine, and our support Ryze is 0/7/1. Our Vayne has not stopped yelling the whole game long about how he's feeding. Enemy team keeps thanking him for setting up kills for them. Vayne says he's done and leaves the game. We end up surrendering at 20.
Then after ALL THAT, Ryze insists that everybody report Vayne for leaving.

Even though I'm not quite level 30, I guess I get what is referred to in SC2 as Ladder Anxiety. I am really really bad at pressing the find game button, so I usually just spend my time playing against AI. Anyway, so I sucked it up today and just did a normal. I forgot how bad people were. I decided to just play whatever was left, so ended up playing Sona Support. 10 minutes in and bot lane is 4-0, with me having gotten all 4 kills, because of the most passive ashe I have ever seen. She wouldn't go in to any situation that wasn't 100% safe, so I was left to chase and get the kills. For the 5th kill, We took the enemy tristana low, and ashe refused to chase past their turret, so I did the dirty work and got the kill. Our Fiora jungle then starts really laying into me for KS'ing all the time, despite 4 of the 5 having ashe no where near. I don't get it. We're at a stage where ashe is able to freely farm, we haven't lost a life and Fiora's been free to camp mid/top. Why do some people have to moan at others, no matter how good the situations been?
