Something people don't get is that matchmaking in a video game, just like real life, can be called Entropy. -Each person has a whole world of sensations in their mind, in their body, in their emotion -each person is riddled with biases and beliefs and perceptions that warp their perspective of how they see the world RIGHT NOW, in their own unique way -on TOP of that, these people with preloaded EVERYTHING, needs to somehow try and be aware of many of the thousands of variables going on in that online game, even more so LEAGUE. -AND on top of THAT, all of these unique individuals with their own individual brand of chaos going on in their heads, need to somehow communicate with eachother and work together efficiently without previously playing with or practicing with eachother. They are strangers. There's one point, now here's another one on top of that. A player who knows the game REALLY well and can efficiently work around their teammates and predict enemies, can STILL COINCIDENTALLY feed their lane 0/7/0 by pure happenstance, because the chaos of the millions of variables in the game and in each person, lined up in such a way that you basically had no choice but to die, because you're functioning off your pre-loaded biases and experience, in such a way that you would have never guessed to question it in that moment! Everything is so random that a team diamonds could get so unlucky that they lose against bronze. It's probably not going to happen, but it CAN. And that's what does happen. Maybe you should have won, but you lost, because the entropy of everyones decisions, enemy and team, just so happened to lead to a loss AND THATS OKAY. Because having your games won number increase by 1 isn't going to magically make you better. Carrying the game isn't going to make you better. Getting good teamates who know how to play, won't make you better. WINNING AND LOSING DOESN'T MATTER. What matters is learning to and choosing to make the optimal decisions despite ALL circumstances. So that even though you won top lane, roamed mid and helped out, pushed to their nexus through your own effort and STILL lost due to a fed enemy jungle and ADC, you have those decisions and those abilities and that experience ready for the next win. If it's not a victory, it's a learning experience. And you CAN NOT WIN EVERY GAME. Otherwise you'd be special and whoever went against you lost due to the will of the universe. Then that's not skill, that's just divine intervention or what have you. Be HAPPY about the fact that you have games that you lose, or that are difficult. Because you are not born the best, you are learning how to be better at this game. So those losses are going to happen, it's not important. Just focus on what YOU can do. I can lose games and still have fun farming/pushing lanes without dying and getting some picks I earned through skill despite the match ending in a loss.
There are doomed games, and there are winnable games that feel doomed. To tell yourself you know how to tell the difference is where you give up games that can be won, and the autopilot sets in TRULY doomed games are comically easy to spot (inters who legit run it, a top lane that goes 0/7 with a jg that goes 0/6) but people too often give up a game when in reality the team can pull off a comeback Players should focus much more on what they could have done better that game rather than if they could have won the game
Yes man, having losing lanes and jg while you are winning yours weaksided and counterpicked every game is for sure the intended outcome. I'm diamond and this is still happening in my games, once every 10 games I'm fine, once every 5 games I can still deal with it. When its every single game without fail, that's what making me lose interest.
Completely agree. Almost every game I play my jungler doesn't have a brain while the enemy's jg is everywhere and ganking off cooldown. Whether I do well or not in lane matters only about once in every 10 games.
just don't care about winning. What's it gonna do, magically make you better at the game as if you're a game character who just absorbed EXP for killing a monster? Enjoy your lower ELO while you can, you will get better, you will climb if thats what you want to do and you keep doing it. But the lost games are the same as won games. They are just games. And what happened in that game? What challenges were you faced with and how should you deal with them? That's the point of playing and getting better. Not winning, but learning. Ironically when you stop caring about winning, thats when you improve and winning starts to happen more. Just a strange way of how life works.
if you are going to be late into the game, dont go for cheese. thats some unranked player behaviour
Ayyeee we got the same last name. Opitz lol hell ye.
True, but that doesn’t change the point that doomed games are apart of the soloq experience
