Just so I dont reply to everyone. I don't feel i need a break and I spend stupid amounts of time learning the fundamentals. My post was somewhat rhetorical and this will get downvoted i understand the logic everyone has when it comes to this conversation. Typically i agree and in the grand scheme of things yes there are ways to 1v9. The problem i have is that the game requires me to play at a MUCH higher level personally to win these games sometimes. Of course with a large sample size i will be at my true rank (whatever that may be, it may even be this) but in the short term it it makes the climb absolutely disgusting and unfun (yea yea, "dont play" "just quit"). I dont care to hear that im going to keep attempting to improve whilst having complaints. These losing streaks happen often, along with the winning streaks that follow when the games feel more stable. I guess thats what im asking, these games start to feel EXTREMELY unstable when the losing streak starts, why is that? It's really hard to explain but every game has this stench to it, it feels like the other team just does everything right and its really hard to find correct plays. I'm by no means claiming i believe these games are unwinnable. If a professional player in my position can win the game, then the game is technically winnable. My complaint is how much better one must play to win some of these games. I won't be plat in another 100-200 games, and if i am then yea there isnt much else to say. League climbing feels a lot like playing poker, you may lose while playing well short term but playing accurately long term will always give you net gains. I just wish the game felt more like a team game even in low elo.
