Depressing Drop

Competitive Discussion

Hello all,
Like most of you, judging by all the other topics, I’ve had a pretty sad ranked experience. I placed silver3, which I thought wasn’t bad. My games from there were pretty standard, earned my way up to silver 2, then to my promo into silver1. I lost that promo, then went on a horrid, terrible lose streak. I found myself plummet into bronze1 dropping about 12% win percentage. (going from about 57% to 45%) over about 170 ranked games.

Now I’m not delusional and I know some of the games were lost because I could have played better, but it seemed like I entered some kind of hell where I’d get 1-2 team mates that’s wouldn’t communicate or play objective, or would just give up and wander the map, and it’s been pretty depressing to be honest. Is this a pretty common situation?

If you feel you can’t carry the game and don’t have major impact, it just means you’re ranked pretty much right. Going up and down a league is normal. If silver2 is normal for you, expect swinging somewhere between gold2 and bronze2. Well until you improve, that is.

If everyone gets better, nobody does.

Trick is getting better faster than other players do.

If everyone else gets better and you dont, you fall.

For example, if everyone learnt to play Samuro and knew how he worked overnight, my winrate would drop around 5% and i would be back in gold probably, this is also the reason i try to not onetrick.
