So our botlane was Cait/Thresh vs Morg/Tristana. Cait got destroyed (like she gave 6 kills and Tresh 2 or 3).
Their excuses ? "THEY HAVE TONS OF CC"
Why in every game outside of promo I have Trist and detsroiy everyone, and in promo 4 times out of 5, our first pick takes adc.
edit : OH GOD WHY DO EVERY ADC IN MY TEAM IS A FUCKING TRASH AND WHEN I GET TO PICK IT I JUST RAPE EVERYONE HOLY FUCKING SHIT THX FOR THROWING MY PLAT PROMO DICKHEADS

I love this thread. Just reading what you guys go through makes me feel better about my games.
I'll contribute but it doesn't compare to some of the stuff I'm reading here. I was on Wukong, pretty fed, and Syndra was going god mode in mid lane. Darius is winning top, and I rotated to each lane and took every outer tower one at a time. I'm thinking this game is easy. Syndra is a monster and she's actually good at the champ, and I can kill any of them with just eqr. I look at our adc, Quinn, who said they main Quinn, and she has Tiamat, and I am concerned, but I believe in the rest of us. Well, she got caught about four times in a row by Trundle's pillar, of all things, and insisted that the trundle cc is just so very very strong...and we are literally always 4v5. The enemy trist is already kind of fed and nami and lulu peel is too strong. None of us ever witnessed a Sona ult from our support; maybe her keyboard was broken. The moral is that bot lane these days really matters. They can win/lose the game no matter how well the rest of the team is doing. I mean, we were basically 3v5 (if Sona isn't ulting she might as well not be there) but that game was hard to swallow. Quinn said she mains Quinn and always goes Ravenous Hydra...I don't know if that is a real thing or what but I looked her up and this Quinn main has 2 games played on Quinn.
In the game after that our Ezreal stayed in lane with ~100 health after the enemy laners tower dove at lv 3 and gave us two kills. He hit the enemy tower three times, thresh got back to lane and landed a hook, and we were like why would you stay? For the insignificant tower damage? He threatened to rage quit on the spot! Nobody had even called him bad yet or anything. I figure if you are that sensitive about it you probably get called bad quite a bit, and maybe you should consider whether 3 autos on a tower is worth eating a hook you apparently can't dodge even with arcane shift. We still won that game. I just roamed mid a lot and got Ahri and Vi some kills. Ezreal was mad at me for leaving lane but we weren't going to win any 2v2s and I I screwed the enemy jungle and mid by showing up so much. They must have been raging at their bot lane about the Leona camp lol.

A good bot lane is a nightmare to vs, especially if they shit on your botlane then start rotating correctly. Just had a game where somehow Lucian and Braum both weren't banned, they took an inhib at 15 minutes (The mid inhib mind you, they already took two turrets bot) whilst poor old me was sitting top nasus vs irelia farming away. Our ezreal then sat there blaming our team for losing bot, I mean really you pick the lowest damage adc who is terrible against Braum then have the balls to blame others?

Naw, A good Mid+Jungler is much scarier...especially if its Syndra with a assassin type jungler early on. holy fucking shit. They start roaming around super early on and your jungler is fucked, they both buy a scanner and pinks the river so you have no control over map anymore, and once that happens its either top or bottom thats going to get dived 2-3 times in a row...and yeah mid game rolls around and thats when the midlaner is "strongest" lol. Sure, a super fed bot lane pre 6 (draven especially) will do amazing, but unless mid, jungle arent doing too hot and top lane didnt bring teleport they usually get picked on eventually. Then again ezreal is actually doing ok these days - its completely about the itemization, considering hes been popping out a lot on OGN and doing really nicely

High platinum stories in a nutshell:
- Diamond smurf greets us with "hi dogs" in the lobby. No1 gives a shit except this one guy. Oh yes he did. He fed like hell intentionally, because he will teach the other guy a lesson, that calling ppl dogs makes them feel bad, so he will make him bad too. Yeah, thanks einstein, you single handedly losing the game for three innocent players are much better than being called a dog in a game, where every second game you get notified that your mother is actually a whore. Thanks, please keep teaching.
- Fizz was not watching for invades and our rengar died lvl1. Rengo got mad, said he wont gank mid, but I think he actually tried. Anyway, Fizz goes like 0-3. He says it's because he will teach Rengar a lesson. Yes, after getting crushed in lane you suddenly just want to teach others. Man up.
- I ask for support, guy above me takes it (Braum), jungle remains. Okay. Nothings happening, I gank bot, we dive too deep, enemy triple kill. K. A minute later Lucian calls out Braum for not having much presence. Braum says he will not be blamed for others mistakes, so he will feed, to teach him a lesson.He said he decides if he wins his matches or not, and now he decided not to. ff20 noobs, and died like 15 times. We were still in the game, actually got a baron too, and we had a chance to win. Braum kept ff-ing, surr noobs-ing, and one time called me out for being shit, and picking sejuani only to show off with my skin (!), instead of picking vi (not that I have her, but yeah). Mind you, this is the guy who took the role I asked for just to go feeding frenzy. Eventually we lost.
Can you see the fucking pattern? In low elo, it's like "oh, you mid bro? double mid then!" Here? There's no double mid, oh no, here you are taught all kind of lessons. Also, 80% of the games one of the top laner will go 0-6. Again, no exaggeration. I'm stupid about top lanes meta, but this is the thing now here, and trust me, it sucks when it's not your top laner. Except if the enemy has a useless riven, she can get fed, no1 cares.
I can understand that ppl here get cocky, me too, everyone thinks platinum is like fucking challenger here, but for the love of god, the last game I trolled intentionally (in ranked ofc, I always jerk around in normals) was in s2 when my team was full of trolls, so I picked something shitty, hoping they would leave. But they didnt, so that teleport-revive twitch mid game happened. #neverforget
Well, can't complain, I had many great games too, being on par with d5/d4 people, and now I'm finally in diamond promos. It's just shitty when you finally decide to climb the ranks, and you just get unlucky and get games in a row which you just can't control, and you fall down almost a whole division. I hope Riot pulls through with the newly promosed punishment system for extremely toxic guys. Also, bring back the tribunal, because it is a joke, that I have to be afraid of getting another chat ban, because my Ziggs, who harassed me all game long (had to mute him after 5mins, because I just couldn't concentrate) reported me. Oh, the joy when in the next game I counterjungled his ass...
Edit: oh, and guys, in the name of every support main, except the masochist ones: ask your support if they are fine if you just yolo pick vayne for adc bot. I mean, if he says "sure mate, lets sit under the turret and give the enemy adc an insta +30 cs lead, or just keep feeding", then it's a mutual choice right there. Otherwise it's all on you.

Silver really is hardest league.

Back to my dia account Game 1. Tristana. My support Thesh dying left and right. walking up to face tank with no mr runes vs ezreal (who went sheen first) and soraka. Doesnt fucking hook properly nor use his E properly. diving for no reason and ignoring what his own wards are telling him. 1v3 yeah? Still manage to have 1.0+kda. Lose anyways, since all lanes are fucked
Game 2 Caitlyn. Jungle DCd. Opponent did a level 1 round about in our jungle and managed to get behind us near blue buff. Didnt die, summoners all blown. My support alistar decides to get frisky after they came back to lane. With their jungler. Dies. Comes back, gets poked down, goes home. Comes back, dies. Rinse and repeat
1v3 yeah? Also manage to get 1.0+kda. Lose anyways, since all lanes are fucked
Fuck this playing Xerath. Opponents pick Malphite support and wukong top. Doesnt matter they both suck watch me fucking carry this. Top Cho goes 0/6 due to opponent lee sin ganks. Bot lane (who are duoing) goes cait thresh and loses early on to a fucking malphite lucian. This is pre patch lucian. He sucks. Malphite is fucking shit support pre 6 and is shit support if no ulti. No understand. I manage to get a kill on kat irregardless of our non-existent jungler warwick and their lee sin constantly fucking with me. That apparently aggroed the rest of them. They proceed to malphite-wukong dive mid. Inhib down. Lose. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Fine. Im 5th pick. Im going fucking Nami. Watch me carry this shit. goes 2/0/6. 20 minutes in we're walking up to their inhib they surrendered. Check my stats lately. All losses, 2 wins. Nami. Realize my previous ranked games from a while ago were two elise games where im raping their jungler but all my lanes are dying regardless of my ganks. Both losses. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Had a small dumb theory about this afterwards - team usually follows support since they usually start the fight or tells everyone to run away - meaning no CC and no support better start running. Since teamfights and ward wars also revolve around the support - does that mean the true hidden carry is the support o.o

In today's edition of I lost my promo series again, I was last pick in both games (because duh it's my series) and I had to support. We had a Nunu jungle and my heart sank. The other team had Evelynn with smite/ignite and she carried every lane. Instead of counter jungling or counter ganking or anything useful, Nunu tried to force ganks with his awful cc. I was Zyra support, which is quite fun, but at one point I singlehandedly took Tristana from 100% to ~25% and my Lucian then decided to participate by tower diving and donating a free kill. He also repeatedly said "brb" and went afk for a couple minutes in lane because exterminators were at his house or something. The second game was a standard Warwick who always ults Thresh game, with the added bonus of a Varus who missed every ult and a "smurfing" Darius who tower dove Teemo at level 3. That game also had a fed Tristana on the other team. She is becoming a common problem, although the real terror was Teemo that game. Is it so much to ask to be first pick during promo series rito? <3

Not strictly about the game but I want to rage, this fucking PC. I finally fix LoL for it, I fix the drivers I think I fucking fixed everything. Go on league it's all smooth it's all working of happenings and all that.
Wake up next day, go on league, graphics are now fucked up, crashes mid game, won't restart and have to go through a long process of refixing everything and I've lost the match. Fucking hell pls be fixed soon laptop.

How to drop divisions in Silver: Double farm of enemy ADC, still lose because everyone just goes roaming around the map to get picked off one by one, so I have at most 2 ppl with me in a fight (and nobody would cc what's attacking me anyway). 7-1 mid, but it makes no difference in a team fight because everyone targets Malph, while enemy team goes directly for our ADC and me. Ping for everyone who is about to run into their doom, be ignored.
I hope this guide is helpful.

This thread is fun. Let me summarize Silver-Gold league.
1. First pick: picks random champ (urgot top, for instance), claims "just because pros don't do it doesn't mean it doesn't work", feeds, says not one word of apology for wasting 30 mins of everyone's time.
2. First pick: doesn't ban Braum, locks Vayne adc, gets counter picked by Cait w/ Braum supp, gets obliterated in lane, blames jungler, rage quits.
3. Jungler says: "Afk feral" in pregame lobby. Chock another one up to the lose column.
4. Mid lane gives first blood: "That luck". --> But you died. Comes back, dies again "OMG THAT LUCK!" --> BUT YOU DIED.
5. Mid lane gives repeated kills to mid/jungler camping his lane: "OMG GO TO OTHER LANES, THAT CAMP" --> but you keep pushing without warding, why wouldn't they want free kills? A jungler is supposed to gank lanes.
6. Top lane picks Teemo specifically to counter Nasus, and is losing in farm by 30 at 10 mins. *sigh*
7. Sion mid. Can we just let this die?
8. First picks that say "I'm banning whoever I want fuck yourselves" why do you even exist?
9. Last picks that say "Well I called jungler so" and lock in jungler irrespective of pick order. Why? Normal and blind pick exist, why in ranked?
10. "I can only play one role" why are you in ranked?
11. Run to lane to farm a big wave instead of securing an objective with your team. Why?
12. Jungler that burns smite on wolves or some other camp in late game when baron is up and is always a subject of contest. Why, why, why?
Sigh. I have so many questions. But yeah, this is Silver/Gold. And from what I hear, Plat as well.

Man fizz players are a worse cancer that yorick or nidalee or one for all soraka

Well for the like 20th time this season I've gotten myself to plat 1, and then promptly dropped back to plat 2. Dunno what it is, but getting diamond this season, unlike last season, feels impossible. Last season it might have taken me like 200 games, gaining maybe 5 points a day because of clamping, but at least there was progress

I seem to always absolutely smash my lane when I play Renekton, yet team always seems to feed after early advantages. Guess that's what I get for maining Renekton .

uhh... this wasn't a fun game LOL
