I have never won a lane in league.. and it’s starting to destory my mental.
Ranked feels impossible to play due to a bunch of compounding issues that I just don’t know how to fix. I am currently iron 4 ( peak iron 1) with a 30 percent win rate… I only have just under 40 ranked games played so while I understand that is nothing.. I also am aware that I am treading down. I have 250 quickplay games played where up until they switched to Swiftplay I had a perfect 50% win rate.. now that quickplay doesn’t exist I am now -20. But the games feel much better. Win or lose, my lane opponent feels human. Whereas in ranked, even bronze 4’s absolutely dog walk me. And riot refuses to give me a full iron lobby.. so I need up getting dogwalked pretty much all night. It’s starting to affect my mood.
Okay let’s get into the compounding issues.
1, as I said, I have never won a lane. Even when have lanes pushed the majority of the phase.. all I am really doing is feeding the enemy CS so I often end up -30 CS if not worse.
I rarely win trades, Even when I have more health then them after the initial scuffle, I can’t seem to make anyone back. They either flip the second trade in their favor forcing me to back and somehow I get 2 levels back, or enemy JG absolutely camps my lane forcing me under my tower if they even respect that. So I end up over backing and now I am 2-3 levels behind.
Because of 1 and 2, I just end up rage splitting every game. I just don’t have the levels or items to meaningfully so I just end up putting myself in time out for being so shit.
4 I tilt so hard I just perma fight from level one and get overly frustrated because everyone perfectly outpaces me, even when I play marksman. I play too passively that when the gank finally comes, or my support makes a play I am on a different planet basically.
Even when I do team fight, there seems to be this weird thing happening where I swear I click on the enemy, but my champ doesn’t auto attack no matter how close they are and then I get blown up for obvious reasons, like Ashe you have a bow why are you not shooting and high 5 the enemy????
I often feel like and I don’t know if this is true or not.. but I have an affinity for scaling champs so I often feel like I can’t even play the game until the 20 minute mark, which obviously puts a lot on my team to try to survive that long so I can finally be kinda useful.
Swiftplay/draft feels night and day compared to rank where most of what I mentioned, is much less of an issue or at very least, my opponents have similar issues . But based on OP.GG my average team ranks are similar across both unranked and ranked. So why do I feel like an idiot in ranked??? Genuinely might be the worse player ever.
