so hi, im not really that good at league, im bronze 1 and im kinda trying to climb ig. 1 question, what is wrong with the ranked system, everytime i queue up, the person i vs in my lane specifically is a smurf, every other lane is normal, why is this happening?

no? it feels like ive played like 5 games with an m7 tryhard

M7 try hard is not smurf
strange siren
M7 try hard is not smurf
oh, i thought thats what it meant

Ah that's fair
A Smurf is a player who is somehow manipulating the matchmaking system to play games in a lower skill bracket than their actual skill level

oh

M7 just means you play a lot of games of that specific champion

To be clear "manipulation" might be misleading, usually it's just players who buy a new account that's already at a lower rank
strange siren
yeah thats what it felt like

Probably also worth mentioning that "Smurf" is also used hyperbolically a lot to just refer to a good player
strange siren
im not even gonna lie, im shit at league, and the people i go against in lane just feel like theyre diamond and im iron

My advice would be to take a less defeatist attitude and focus on growth
If a player destroys you in lane don't mope about being outplayed, take a moment to consider what they did well and what you did poorly so you can maybe do better next time

ic so just dont get tilted
still lotus
It's a bit more than that
Not getting tilted is important for winning games, but trying to learn is how you will get better at playing

just play better, you’re in bronze and the other 9 players are in bronze
improve your cs and kda cus u average about 3-4 cs per min every game and u die too much
strange siren
just play better, you’re in bronze and the other 9 players are in bronze
all of them are silver tho most of the time
oblique gorge
still same level as u
i’m bronze but i’m able to shit on silvers it’s not much of a skill difference
strange siren
improve your cs and kda cus u average about 3-4 cs per min every game and u die ...
so what you are saying is to just "play better"
oblique gorge
yep
strange siren
elaborate
oblique gorge
based on ur op gg you die too often, giving up easy gold for enemy team
and ur farm is bad, which means u won’t have enough gold for u to hit ur power spikes from items
in low elo it’s better to just farm it out then trying to fight all the time
strange siren

ah ic ic
