BTW you can use that same OP.GG site to record your games and easily share with us, if you find the "Open Current Game" button on the top right and then select "Record" we can download it if you have maybe a game where you felt you played well but didn't stomp it could be more representative.

Thanks cwar. Yeah I'll use that feature and post here the next time I feel like I have a game where I played my best or close to it but the game seemed "unwinnable."

Also if anyone else would like to post in here and ask for a review of a replay I'd be more than happy to offer my advice.

So I've been thinking a little bit about this thread and I realized the reason I made it wasn't even because I don't know where I need to improve... I'm just frustrated because I feel that if myself and my lane/jungle opponent were completely removed from the game... my team would lose 70-80 out of the past 100 games I've played. No joke and I'm not exaggerating. But I think if the other lanes were just bots I'd be able to win 75%+ against gold and low plat opponents. Is this how it's supposed to be? Like should I have to turn around a losing game the vast majority of the time to gain elo? I'm fine doing that like 2-3/10 games or something but not 7-8/10 as it's been over this recent stretch.

I dropped out of plat last night and now I'm at 0 LP Gold 1 because the same **** is happening but I'm so tilted now I can't play well nor can I even bring myself to care that I'm not playing well. Like I want to throw my computer out the window... I've never been this tilted not even over poker. Anyway I probably need a break from league it's clearly not good for me right now but it sucks because I also used to get some real enjoyment out of it.

most people have like 55% winrate. you are on a poker site where QQ loses to AK 45% of the time. **** happens. its only 100 hands sample size

u need to put your brain on no feel idc mode.

The kind of feeling u have when taking a shot at higher stakes, u say i put in X , and will stop when i lost X.

Same with league, i play this, if i lose / get angry i stop.

Sorry to hear you're feeling that way, obviously take a break at least if you aren't enjoying it.

I've found the best way to enjoy any competitive activity is to focus on the improvement, if it's a 4v5 because we are behind someone rage quit I'll set a new goal like putting on as much rotational pressure on the enemy team, trying to backdoor with an Ohmwrecker, having the best KDA from that point forward all to hone my skills or try something new with the bit of assumed downtime I have.

If I'm playing my 200th game of J4 jungle I have a list of skills/activities I need to do better and any game is experience towards that. The reality is, if you had LCS style talent you won't have to worry about getting into Diamond. Maybe you won't ever get what you deserve actually in terms of MMR but that's out of your control.

Every loss in this game is pretty frustrating, however I find when I watch my replays I'll see one of three things and feel much better:
#1: I actually made many mistakes that I'm personally capable of doing better. In this case I shouldn't deserve a way win anyways.
#2: I actually made genuinely good plays up until the point the game snowballed out of control.
#3: I played decent but I could have made some great plays to potentially carry the game harder.

I watch almost every replay and it helps improve your perception of the reality of the game which is very important if you're judging the games the way you are.
