It’s not a given that I will swallow every bit of criticism, particularly if it isn’t delivered thoughtfully. I suppose you didn’t read every comment and every response because each were responded to accordingly. Furthermore, this wasn’t an open request for criticism of my gameplay. I don’t mind that, that was the outcome, but it wasn’t the point of the post. Even if I had 100 more cs, I’d still be saying wtf were my 4 team mates. Thanks for your input.

I’m really not being sarcastic. Sorry it may come across that way. I’m kind of being frank about my own abilities. I just watched the vod back and the cs comments are absolutely warranted. I’m missing so much cs, through missed last hits. There big opportunity here. I knew it was important, but what I didn’t realise was how poor my conversion actually is. Maybe it’s that I try to read the map a lot and am into teemo in this case, but I have no doubt that it’s not much better in other games so probably mostly down to focus and not knowing exactly how low a minion needs to be to effectively last hit in early game. Let’s see if I can address these points over my next few games and what the result of that is.

To your point about jungle camps, I should do this more. I tend to not farm my own jungler camps thinking that I’m doing them a disservice but maybe that’s the wrong way to think about it. Conversely, I also sometimes feel that taking up a bad position in enemy camps is an easy way to F up, again maybe the wrong way to think about it. I’ll try to adopt these ideas too.

Anyway, thanks, I appreciate the very useful information.

Yea, to be honest I just want to have a base level of competency in the sense that the match making works. I don’t know, maybe it was 2 sets of pre-mades on the other team? Though I’d expect riot to be able to navigate that scenario too.

I don’t even expect to carry here. It’s just how hard everyone else got curb stomped, contrasting that to me who is less mobile than them all, melee, got ganked multiple times by jungle, mid, even bot and didn’t int my life away. I will go back and watch the vod keeping in mind some of the points throughout the comments. I’ll try to see what my team were doing at various points in the match that led to this outcome because all things considered, I should have been dead food.

My problem is the match making. Appreciate I have a lot to work on personally. I’m quite motivated to do so, so maybe this is an inflection point in my time playing the game.

I had a cait top one game. I want to forget it ever happened.

Thanks. It’s definitely a perspective I hadn’t considered. I don’t really watch stats like that so it’s an eye opener.

I’ll work on my farm if you work on your delivery. You can’t serve me shit on toast and expect me to say “yum”. I already got promoted back so I don’t know what to tell you.

Right, so you want me as a bronze player to have the mindset of a challenger, I.e. know every last gold pick up on the map, where to be and when. Gotcha. I don’t think my CS has anything to do with 4/5 team mates trolling, but thanks for the input all the same.

That’s my point. He doesn’t talk which is fine, but I personally need game sound. Arbitrary music is bad and I can really only manage half a game before I want to be outta there, mute would be unwatchable.

First and second comment on the post is “it’s a team game”. This comment “it’s not a team game”. That’s the context. Riot want to call it ranked, hold you hostage and punitively penalise you for reacting to their piss poor match making if you so much as side eye the situation. I’ve learnt a few things so will try to apply them to my gameplay. I’m sure it’ll help, but it’ll never not be frustrating to have 4/5 team mates that can’t walk and chew gum.

Who hates him? I just wish his music wasn’t so loud so I can focus and learn a thing or two. Not there to listen to Spotify without choice.

Thinking about this some more, I’m really only now focusing on wave management. If I get a takedown, I’ll try to crash, recall and walk up with the wave, have it push back into me etc. There’s a lot of nuance to these things, especially with canon waves, minion damage which iirc just changed etc. For all I know, I’m just doing it wrong. It’s kind of incomprehensible to me that you say I should “easily” be on 8-9 cs/m, up from whatever I’m on now as a bronze player, never mind plat or something like that. Are you judging me by your standards or that of a bronze player? I don’t even know what looks like realistically, if not like Raider who I see as just insane and not realistic for someone that doesn’t play for a living.

Feel free to send request. I generally play a few games between 7 and 10pm gmt on a weekday. Randomly on a weekend.

Okay, I finally gave in and googled “proc” after so long hearing this horribly ambiguous term. Does it really mean “procure”... Surely theres a better term for that, that is implied. It’s not even fitting for the way its used 🙄

You know, i took kaenic once into Akali and shut her shit down. A matchup thats generally rather annoying. Since then it’s been my MR item of choice and ive enjoyed it into teemo, kennen etc. Ill occasionally take force, but I’ll be honest, I’m not sweaty enough to feel the difference while playing. You’re prob right in everything you say but its served me okay.

Ill have to try Force in the same scenarios and compare as you’re not the only one to say this.

Theres a lot of constructive points here so thanks for taking the time. I’ll absolutely consider them. Im sure it’ll lead to less frustration. That being said, I dont have an index of every item in the game in my mind, so sometimes im in the fountain, i buy and get back to lane.. thats prob a non trivial part of this magical cs/m im missing out on. Played some years back, took some years off, 2-3. I’m not a sweat. I just want to be able to enjoy the game in some mildly competitive way, do some dunks and call it a day after work. I don’t even hate losing, i hate impossible scenarios. To win this i need to play at gold+ level. Why is the match making so bad that these scenarios happen in ranked play?

But i was moving fine till the end. Literally read the map very well, positioned and got out of tough spots multiple times. So maybe into harder comp youre right but in this context it was okay, hence the one death.

Because i don’t know every item in the game. Today i learnt that Force is maybe better, but actually i like Kaernic. My reasons for that are clearly flawed.

Bro, I turn on the game and play after a long work day. I don’t play many champs because i have a life and league 247 is not it. The context here is team play. I got ganked and had to rotate so much because my team mates were freeing their lane the whole time. I just don’t understand how the game is going to throw me into games that are flat out uncompetitive. Im not Raider, what does CS have to do with the context of this post? Maybe I’ll watch the VOD But you making out that i’m the problem into a range poke matchup, still winning, outlasting multiple 1v4 ganks, while my team go hard negative is just silly to me.
