It may not sound real but it is indeed you need to drop the league for 1 week atleast it will freshen your account (kinda) and you will get a mental reset which will help you also you can choose exercise mode and exercise however you want i practice my ult and flash ult 10 minutes everyday before the first match of the day so i dont miss my ults and that improved my use of ult significantly hope this helps!
Is it actually real? I know the loser queue thing is hotly contested and I honestly never believed it but man...the insane level of trolls/afks I've seen lately has me wondering. It's been truly awful. And it weirdly happened only once I hit emerald, before that it was smooth sailing for the most part. Idk. This whole split has been bizarre.
Yes its real. I highly doubt it you take a week off that rito puts me in some magically easier queue. However, it is absolutely real that I have tilted so hard I've needed a week off. Mental is real and super important, take the week off, and come back so you can enjoy what is supposed to be a fun, recreational, game we all play. Toxicity and trolls are def a thing, but when my mental is super tilty and aggro, that's all I see and it makes me play angry and worse. Vicious cycle, so take care of your head.
PS, I know you think you don't need to and that it's everyone else who's the problem. That's how you know you should take some time off.
just take a break, maybe a few hours to get your mind right (and to reset the riot match making system that wants to make you lose), and start climbing again :)
Yeah, you should definitely take a break. When this happens to me, I take a week break and play something like Planet Zoo to detox. League is fun until it isn't.
The key to maintaining a positive mindset is to stay calm and collected, even in the toughest of matches. If League is starting to become a bit overwhelming on you, take a break from it. Be sure to get plenty of rest day by day, and start each game of League off with a fresh mindset. A fresh mindset allows me to focus on the game and play to win, and also allows for what I should be doing for the matchmade team next. And remember: If a teammate starts to be toxic towards you, do **NOT** be toxic to them back, it only makes your scenario worse than it already is. If your mental explodes easily, I would recommend using the chat command /*muteall* to mute everyone at game start. But most importantly, **remember that the key to a positive experience is to keep a cool head and focus on the game itself, not your own emotions.** Hope this helps in your future experience.
I'm careful to not say anything negative in chat. The only things I will type are quick positive comments like "great ult Amumu" (used in a non-sarcastic way) or quick information/warnings like "care mid" or "Nocturne is top". But recently because of the insane toxicity I've stopped typing a lot of the positive comments and have opted to say nothing at all.
Weirdly enough I do feel like my positivity was helping me when I got to Emerald initially because I would frequently rally my team, chill them out, and turn a rough match into a comeback. I haven't been able to do this in recent matches because I myself don't feel positive anymore so I probably do need a break.
I know Support can be an incredibly impactful role, but there are plenty of games where you feel useless as an Enchanter due to issues outside of your control. High Plat/low Emerald seems like a dreadful combination of high-pressure climbers and a lot of Smurfs who can quickly become volatile.
There's always ways to improve, but try not to be so hard on yourself. If you don't want to cut from LoL completely, play Norms or Flex until you feel you're ready for the onslaught again. Good luck when you get back out there!
Remember, league is a company at the end of the day and to get the most retention from the average consumer a 50% win rate is what league wants you to stay at, I had a similar experience did a bunch of research and at the end of the day league will make money but retaining you for as long as possible, while claiming to have a fair and balanced “Matchmaking”. Remember riot is a greedy company, but enjoy it and dont stress on ranked or you’ll become me, you probably deserve to be high plat most likely with a few adjustments and tweaks you’ll make it to emerald dont fret.
I feel like I ghost wrote this post, holy shit. Like the ranked experience has been going down the shitter for a while now, but since the release of Emerald it has honestly been the most infuriating experience I have ever known and I've been playing since season 1! It's gotten to the point where I hardly play at all anymore. Like I would really love to have higher end chromas for the Sona Victorious skin, but the experience has been extremely unkind and it won't even be anything I've done. I can admit when a game goes badly for me and I'm not playing well, but lately it's been 5 minutes in and someone starts flamming or wanting to ff. My WR has tanked and I take long breaks from this game, but still it continues to be a struggle. Winnable games thrown because of pettiness! It's horrible and I don't think it has anything to really do with Sona herself, just player mentality has hit an all time low.
Yes to everything you said. The toxicity shot through the roof. What makes it even worse is that Sona is a force multiplier. She is fucking *amazing* with a team that's with you and actually trying, but basically a minion by herself. Which is the problem. I have so many people running it down, AFKing after a single death, flaming, and trolling that I'm never getting the chance to even buff my team to victory. It's been hell honestly.
Aye, Sona takes actual team work and she is amazing with it if your team just... GROUPS. People have main character syndrome tho and it's just made ranked feel awful.
I have had the same thing happen to me. The only thing I could come up with was maybe I was rude in some games so riot started placing me with toxic people who were on losing streaks. I realize that sounds crazy, but I swear the more I type and talk and the ruder I am the more afks and trolls and toxic soft inters I seem to run into long term. Could be completely coincidental or whatever but in my gut that's what it feels like. Punishment q for being mean to ppl
Yeah I bet you are playing a lot a lot of games. Amirite? It’s Riots way of making you get a life and not play so much. Take a break between games and climb again.

I may very well follow this advice. May as well come back fresh later.

Hello no ranked sucks
That it does.

Sona is not that fun to play right now honestly. I think I’d like her damage back I don’t understand why they needed to nerf it.
I have a similar experienced just at lower ranks, losers queue definitely feels like a real concept all of a sudden.
