I think it is because we are on holidays, players are just playing either drunk or high asf, or maybe they are crying so much because they don't have loved ones that they can't actually see the screen, doing this kind of bs. Can't find any other rationale explanation, especially in smurf Q with plat players.
I’m just glad to see I’m not the only one that runs into games like this in the plat/emerald bracket. Some games are genuinely impossible to win with some of the players that luck there way into mid plat with no concept of how to play league of legends.
I feel like that would be me. I played 1 ranked game got absolutely smashed and it put me in provisional gold 3. Not sure how that make sense when I have only like 30 hours in the game.
I once checked my junglers match record while he was plat 2. He had 42 games in a row of negative KD and mostly really bad like 2,18 but somehow he gets carried enough to stay in plat. Its disgusting how those players don't get thrown down to iron or bronze where they should be
@@backbone93 hey man, just keep in mind that there’s players like me out there too who want to play ranked but suck lol. I promise I’m not doing it on purpose. Just wish the game would give people realistic rank instead of putting people with very little experience into players who’ve been playing since the start. Tbh tho there’s probably more smurfs than people with very little time in game like me so idk.
me too, I was diamond and got put into silver and was never able to get out, every 3rd game i got a yuumi or taric bot that followed the mid laner around all game. It is so scamed@@yorick_lover
This series actually inspired me to play more teemo. It’s been fun making people disappear via shrooms of death. Love the vids keep up the fun and the climbs.
22:55 Briar just summoned rift herald from the fountain... *eye twitch* Edit: I somehow got the time stamp wrong while half asleep. Will update it soon lol
Should have up-voted Zilean at the end there, he latched onto you whenever you were around, looked like he knew you were the only hope from mid game. You should have given him more props for sure.
_At the very beginning of the game:_ *Malph:* Why are there plats here D: *Sylas:* cause they are shitty enough to be in this lobby This Sylas is either self aware of his skill cap or a mouth breather
This is a prime example of the secret matchmaking riot puts in the game. If you are on a win streak they team you up with feeders so you don't climb. They stack the odds against and it is the reason I quit league.
Thats not how it works per se. More like an unintended result of bad MM system. The thing is the mmr of those players is actually silver gold, while a good smurf bronze silver player has a gold mmr. It results in these tragic situations ..
I was checking this game on League of Graphs and ffs, that Sylas has 140K M7 points so we can't say he hasn't played the champion before. 226 ranked games played standing at 49% winrate, the guy is turbo stuck in gold, barely making it to Gold 2. Yeah, Riot's matchmaking decided that Zwagmo was winning too hard, so lets give him an inting hardstuck gold and a clueless silver ADC against plats and golds that have better performance overall compared to their opponents.
@@tenou213 RossBoomSocks sometime ago made a video about how Riot nonchalantly confirmed that the algorithm was designed to keep you permanently playing by keeping you hardstuck, so you have to grind more and more and more It doesn't look intuitive or reasonable but oh boy, League's all chat is the deepest shithole in videogames, so yeah, it actually works. Edit: sorry, it wasn't Ross, it was Skooch who talked about it Edit of the edit: link here th-cam.com/video/WCu6W_ZSJHw/w-d-xo.html
@@jamesbaurus5928 6 months later but okay The thing is, the game doesn't know that Zwag is smurfing or that this is another account of his property, so while we know that Zwag skill is that of a GM or even a Challenger, the same matchmaking issue affects all the playerbase, good performing players intentionally getting brake checked by an algorithm designed to screw you over so you have to play even more grind. I'd rather lose because the other team was just better in the mechanics than being hampered because I get players that intentionally fucks with other people's games just for the sake of it.
I played Jax into a 500k mastery Teemo two weeks ago and got totally wrecked. If Teemo just holds onto Q and pokes you down it is a very tough lane. At least you roamed mine decided he wanted to not let me play
That Malphite reminds me of a match I had where the enemy Malphite would hide in bushes and just R Oneshot anyone who got close, literally Assassin Malphite.
I even saw a couple of people like this sylas in dia/master elo. It just drops my jaw. I once saw a master elo adc, who was plat type of player at best. No dodges, cant land skill shots (yeah) and no map awareness. %100 boosted by some guy
these games are kinda cool to see, partially to see that you do amzingly well, despite your teams pushing you down, so keep up the good work and i look forward to seeing you reach silver soon xDDDD
Thanks for showing the losses. It's nice to know that even extremely skilled players can't win every game. And it's good to see what that looks like. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I understand this feeling of bad teammates.. I am in Emerald I - Diamond 4. And it a hell, because it's all the perma stuck Em1-dia4 players trying to keep their diamant border for the season, but some play worse than plat.. It burns my eyes and hurt my head to watch
The fact Jax said ggez would have fucking tilted me to the moon when he got laid the fuck out. Also zil at least had your back quite often. But my god that sylas was a bronze
I hadn’t played league in so long and I started again two weeks ago after years of a break. I somehow ended up in bronze after placements and I ranked up to plat now. I have to say that while in bronze some of the players were better than the ones in my plat/emerald games. Lmao.
I'm convinced the math behind ELO/MMR/whatever is completely fubar. At almost every rank you have these people that literally look like they skipped the tutorial. It has absolutely gotten a lot worse over the years.
hey Z, I think a lot of people would love to see you play some champions like aatrox, irelia, riven etc... like mainstream champs that you don't usually play with, would be great to see your talent go off in these
I literally had a game like this (terribe bronze team) for every time I was 1 win from gold, but 10x in a row until i got tilted and eventually banned. Match maker was so rigged i haven't played since.
about shots getting to you on your mid t3 tower. it's because you standing on highground, so game thinks you below your current position for skillshots
I used to play that mid vs Sylas when he first came out and it was a blast; they could never hit their pull so you can just farm and get six and then play shrooms the rest of the game haha
“Did you learn how to ult from Sylas?” Had me dying
That Sylas walking past Jax and then flashing at 24:30 really broke Zwag 😂
I think it is because we are on holidays, players are just playing either drunk or high asf, or maybe they are crying so much because they don't have loved ones that they can't actually see the screen, doing this kind of bs.

Best part was Sylas trying to save Briar from Malph's ulti with his flash at 13:30 hahahha
At least he accomplished his goal. Briar lived.
@@DLockholm you're so optimistic it's kinda funny
@@dynhoyw most people wouldn't call that optimistic but, who am I to judge? I just know that I'd definitely ask for a x9 against that Sylas
"Bro, my fucking eyes" 😂😂😂😂
"Ah! Sylas does negative damage-- LOOK AT THAT! HE'S HEALING PANTHEON!!!" 😭😭😭😭
"I"m not going to tilt" after being tilted for 5+ minutes and right before cursing out loud again :D Most relatable Zwag game, we've all seen these.

@@yorick_loveryeah between the high rank and the flaming for my low skill I’ll probably just stick to Arams lol.

I don't mind watching you play losing games. It feels really informative and comforting lol
exactly lol. ONE OF US!!
Thank you for posting a loss!!! We all suffer from these types of games and seeing the GOAT deal with the same is refreshing.
This series actually inspired me to play more teemo. It’s been fun making people disappear via shrooms of death. Love the vids keep up the fun and the climbs.
Watching Zwags and Piantas teemo climb back to back brings me joy
"War didn't change me, i changed war!" -teemo
HOLY GIGAmo

LMFAO, the flash 10 seconds into the video!!!! 😂🤣
The jaded war hero Teemo voice lines were cracking me up the whole time. Well played Riot 🤣😂
16:03
Zwag: "I don't have teammates in this game, we're screwed"
Teemo: "Survival ain't pretty".
keep it up zwag even if it's a loss it's still really enjoyable to watch you play teemo :D
I think this is the first time I heard Zwag yell in frustration 😅
_At the very beginning of the game:_
*Malph:* Why are there plats here D:
*Sylas:* cause they are shitty enough to be in this lobby
This Sylas is either self aware of his skill cap or a mouth breather
O espírito Bronze emandado nesse early flash kkkkk to adorando esse canal 3!!
I like seeing these games too, feels very real to sometimes lose no matter what you do.
3:14 welcome to our hell... literally I have same Sylas in every game... It takes for ever to go from bronze to plat...
That’s a good luck flash! Always works for me haha
Sylas building a Wooglets
That flash in the beginning is perfection 😅
First time in years I've heard Zwag go mad haha
I think the psych ward let sylas play his game for the week.
Best comment so far
that early flash caused me physical pain when I saw it live.
This is a prime example of the secret matchmaking riot puts in the game. If you are on a win streak they team you up with feeders so you don't climb. They stack the odds against and it is the reason I quit league.
100%
Thats not how it works per se. More like an unintended result of bad MM system.
The thing is the mmr of those players is actually silver gold, while a good smurf bronze silver player has a gold mmr. It results in these tragic situations ..
Thanks for the great vid Zwag!
I'd love to see a video in this series with manc0 just shoutcasting and breaking it down in the background lol
Oh nice, this is the one I didn't watch in the super long video so I can enjoy this one.
Welcome to the average low elo experience

“Did Zwag flash first?”
Yes, he did!
Win Streak: 1
I played Jax into a 500k mastery Teemo two weeks ago and got totally wrecked. If Teemo just holds onto Q and pokes you down it is a very tough lane. At least you roamed mine decided he wanted to not let me play
9:04 I hollered aloud
What was that sound teemo made at 11:47 lmaoo
I like that you show your loses, we empathize and we learn and aooreciate your struggle.
he always cry like a bitch every time he loses, saying stuff like "i literally don't have teammates" It's so predictable XD
Damn only had to beg for the w out of base twice. Zwag got it now 😂
Everytime he dies and there's someone under poison I actually scream for him to buy something to add damage
18:53 i'm trying not to get an aneurysm watching this whole game but holy, does this sylas do anything normal?
watching this game is tilting me. I cant imagine how tilting it was actually playing it 😂😂😂
29:17 OH YES GO BRIAR GO! Oh....oh nevermind she botched that one, it's a botch job.
taken the short way, is that a short joke? 😂 3:18
I LIVE FOR THIS CLIMB
That Malphite reminds me of a match I had where the enemy Malphite would hide in bushes and just R Oneshot anyone who got close, literally Assassin Malphite.
Pfft that flash in the beginning was so unexpected
Zillion was doing OK.
This is a perfect example of why I’ve just started running illi or Yorik for any ranked match lmao
24:04 collector on jhin does 4444 true damage? that's a cool easter egg.
Broo... Do you know how to ult from Sylas?
😂😂😂 26:40
Ziliean was the only person i could count on to make resonable plays
Mate, I like you more when you're not tilted. Don't let them tilt you, Zwag!
at what times and days do you stream? I never seem to catch any and I've been looking constantly I feel xD
That fatfinger flash 😭
THATS WHY FLASH GOES ON F AND NOT D
I mean Zilean was on point so honestly you did have a teammate. You just had additional no damage.
Mhm I thought zilean wasn't too bad, I would consider this a 2v8😂
It pleases me to see a Teemo thrive.
”He is healing Pantheon ” :))
I even saw a couple of people like this sylas in dia/master elo. It just drops my jaw. I once saw a master elo adc, who was plat type of player at best. No dodges, cant land skill shots (yeah) and no map awareness. %100 boosted by some guy
Since you said they have no CC is there any merit to going Rylas? It would slow them when you engaged and give you health and AP plus the slow?
i think the slow does not apply to the E auto and the shroom already slow them, thats the reason he dont go rylas
@@brplaysm the q has more range than the auto though so clipping em on the retreat would allow him to pursue right?
@@RoranoaZoro4427 well kindda, but I don't know how well it would work, I think it could make ir easier to hit a shroom in the middle of a fight
these games are kinda cool to see, partially to see that you do amzingly well, despite your teams pushing you down, so keep up the good work and i look forward to seeing you reach silver soon xDDDD
what will you do if someone bans teemo?
U did ur best fr
Thanks for showing the losses. It's nice to know that even extremely skilled players can't win every game. And it's good to see what that looks like. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Teemo without team is just an “O”
I understand this feeling of bad teammates.. I am in Emerald I - Diamond 4. And it a hell, because it's all the perma stuck Em1-dia4 players trying to keep their diamant border for the season, but some play worse than plat.. It burns my eyes and hurt my head to watch
What was that Sylas?
The fact Jax said ggez would have fucking tilted me to the moon when he got laid the fuck out.
Also zil at least had your back quite often.
But my god that sylas was a bronze
I really feel sorry for you in this game. Unfortunately, most of my games are similar to this one, and there's nothing you can do 1 against 5.
Wanting to go mid as Sylas again but this video brings back my paranoia of going back mid
That sylas is boosted as fuck
Channel name should be " ZwagMo"
Used my idea, I see.
I hadn’t played league in so long and I started again two weeks ago after years of a break. I somehow ended up in bronze after placements and I ranked up to plat now. I have to say that while in bronze some of the players were better than the ones in my plat/emerald games. Lmao.
If you build rylai and ruunan then in combat , it will more usefull you can attack 3 enemy at once, rylai to slow and kite them.
I'm convinced the math behind ELO/MMR/whatever is completely fubar. At almost every rank you have these people that literally look like they skipped the tutorial. It has absolutely gotten a lot worse over the years.
WOW that game broke me just watching
Zwagmo! Zwagmo! Zwagmo!
zwag is broken in this game 😂
This is every game in Emerald 3
I’m that guy, that doesn’t know what the hell he is doing
hey Z, I think a lot of people would love to see you play some champions like aatrox, irelia, riven etc... like mainstream champs that you don't usually play with, would be great to see your talent go off in these

Tf is wrong with that Sylas? 😅😅😅 so many wtf moments
about shots getting to you on your mid t3 tower. it's because you standing on highground, so game thinks you below your current position for skillshots
Bro do you ever get a sweeper? Jesus
It continues !!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 can we do unbeaten to gold ?
I'm sorry lil bro, we cannot
I think zilean was trying his best too sucks that you didnt have any teammates bro
The REAL solo que
This looks like 98% of my games!
I watched this live but had to research it bc of the sylas flash
I would love to see a W max on teemo. Did it once vs Garen and it was hilarious
I used to play that mid vs Sylas when he first came out and it was a blast; they could never hit their pull so you can just farm and get six and then play shrooms the rest of the game haha
Looks like 3/4 of my normal games
It's amazing seeing the loses too so we know that we are humans e those things happen
I think you can get to grand masters if you’re in the flow
This video was wild
How do you only get 5 ping omg...
this looks like my games.
Not fair u sir got a helicopter 😮
