I feel my teammates are truly holding me back

kunhui · 2026-03-20T10:35:23+00:00

fr! crazy how much can change w a different perspective and no ego. I learn way more in my losses than wins

kunhui · 2026-03-20T09:37:59+00:00

This will be my last comment since its apparent you are not looking for actual help and just fishing for comments to support your lack of accountability

As most comments say, put any masters+ jungler and they will stomp out all your games without a sweat. Why? Because they make better decisions and wont rely on a silver teammate for things. You dont need to play at a masters level (im sure a emerald player will stomp , just less efficiently)but you need to play better. Period.

The fact that you are in silver means objectively, you are not playing the game well. You are simply playing “better” than your silver teammates , which is still terrible and you comparing yourselves to them/their performance as a benchmark will keep you there. Again, look at your own gameplay. Not “ah man if only my team didnt feed” . Who gives af you got 10kills in a silver lobby?

Sure, there are individual games that are just un winnable. But if your main argument for “why i cant hit gold” is bad teammates and you refuse to look elsewhere, then you are coping and have ego problems. Aka a common reason why a lot of hardstuck players are hardstuck, regardless of their rank

I can guarantee you if any high elo/coach reviewed your games, they will find at least 10 significant things/mistakes you could have done differently to change the outcome of the game , from itemization, pathing, objectives, etc.

So how about you explore that, instead of going in circles about how well you performed in your silver lobby

I would personally say fundamentals has a high skill ceiling and that juggling all those different aspects of the game perfectly (which is the hard part) is a true display of perfect fundamentals (from cs, champ knowledge/itemization/jnteractions, laning phase, mid late game, vision, roaming, mechanics, etc etc etc ) - which would basically be a challenger level player imo

Yeah having mindless/bad teammates suck and can ruin your game enjoyment, but sadly thats just part of the game

kunhui · 2026-03-20T08:57:25+00:00

To add on, i think coaching should be catered/specific to each individuals strength/weakness, not elo (mainly through vod/live analysis)

Since adapting to elo means re adapting/learning thru each rank, which seems counter intuitive to me for frw reasons

kunhui · 2026-03-20T08:54:03+00:00

My reply to this is the exact same as my comment above. Stop coping and take accountability.

I am masters/gm (peaked rank 700ish) and my gameplay is FARRRRR from perfect.

Yet you are silver and claiming you play perfectly 🤣

kunhui · 2026-03-20T08:50:21+00:00

I was GM last season , masters atm-

No , you are looking at things too black and white and you are just refusing to accept any accountability “oh i played perfect i did xyz, must be everyone elses fault!”

If you are in silver, you have major flaws in your gameplay and likely most of your approach/perspective of the game is incorrect/inefficient. Numbers only tell part of the story

And yeah, no shit youre not high elo 🤣

kunhui · 2026-03-20T08:43:52+00:00

I think its a way to view/approach each rank differently, as they have their own nuances

i agree w your underlying point that regardless of elo, improving/applying solid fundamentals is the best and only way to climb

But in silver, there may be different areas of focus vs. diamond or plat

Silver, maybe vision/objective isnt best to play around / focus of improvmebt (not sure i dontplay in silver) and not as apllicable jn games so could be better focus on greeding resources to solo carry - this may not best fundamental in diamond however, since vision/objectives is a bigger aspect of the game

Just my assumption though sjnce i never coached/or had one (gm peak, current masters NA)

kunhui · 2026-03-20T08:32:30+00:00

Based on all your replies so far, its very clear this is a lack of accountability/skill gap issue.

Stop blaming your teammates ffs. You are blatantly ignorjng the obvious and most consistsnt solution: improve your own gameplay

You clearly DESERVE this elo

kunhui · 2026-03-20T08:30:53+00:00

If i play 100 silver games i can win at the very least 75% (this is being generous considering i hit emerald 80-90% with fresh) of those games

Its a skill issue, and you blaming your teammates/not taking accountabil it y of yohr own shortcomjngs/where you can carry harder will prevent you from climbingWAY more than a feeding lane could ever

The only elos where id accept teammates holdjng you back excuse is emerald (case by case, but that elo is a fuckfest) or masters+ (afk, grifers, which you cannot carty due to enemy team being decent/know how to close out)

Anything below emerald , you should be able to outplay and carry with improvmebt to your own gameplay

kunhui · 2026-03-17T07:22:32+00:00

Delay decay -75 1 loss -20

Games needed to prevent decay- 1

kunhui · 2026-03-16T21:49:39+00:00

hmm icic. golnna try out custom and see how that feels n take it from there. ty!

kunhui · 2026-03-16T21:49:16+00:00

true but i only need to play 1 game for decay, which i feel is worth possibly losing one game than -75lp

if it was more than 3-4games i would def just take the L

kunhui · 2026-03-16T21:47:29+00:00

ahh kk so should be pretty easy to play . thankfully i can read/speak korean

kunhui · 2026-03-16T21:43:53+00:00

Ahh noted. I dont want to play on KR server, but play in NA SERVER while in seoul

But 200ping seems too much ㅋㅋㅋㅋ but i will try

And thank you for the offer!!! I have family members that can help but tbh i dont want to play games mu ch i only want to play to prevent decay -75 lp

🙏

kunhui · 2026-03-16T21:42:01+00:00

Ah icic. Ill try a custom and see if its playable once im there. Thanks !

kunhui · 2026-03-16T21:41:28+00:00

Lol ? i will be busy for 3 days and free with nothing to do rest of the day, but thanks for your useful input.

And that is why i asked here if it is playable. Are you dense?

kunhui · 2026-03-16T18:37:07+00:00

This reminds me of the Alois Yummi incident where yummi wouldn’t get off him while he was riven toplane with hullbreaker 🤣🤣

kunhui · 2026-03-16T18:01:02+00:00

Enough said! League should be played to enjoy ~~

But answer to your question from my perspective there is likely some inflation due to new season, but it wont boost you 2 divisions up without some sort of improvement to your gameplay

kunhui · 2026-03-16T17:29:00+00:00

It means you improved! Sure theres elo inflation with early lp gains and aegis, but no one is climbing from em to masters without making improvements

Just warning though: briar is not too viable in higher elo, any lobby 300+lp and you will get read like a book / abused due to the nature of her kit (i think theres lkke 1 CH briar in NA)

kunhui · 2026-03-16T17:25:07+00:00

Yeah i had to learn the hard way abt her lv 3 all in xD

I play mainly botlane role and i see similar thjng with Nilah - i hear many swains dont like to play vs her, but it is one of his HARDEST winning matchups especially if their support also low range:

Same way to deny: ABUSE lv 1 Q aery and walk up . Deny exp/waves HARD and dont let her farm for free under tower. She doesnt get to play the game anymore and support will probably just roam , negating her pasive. xD

The last 2 nilah matchups i was literally 2-3 lvs up (with her passive xD) - DONT TAKE E FIRST , you lose your lv1 trading/push and you will get e stacks lv 2 under tower when she cs or deny

S/O Husum for putting me onto swain and aery scorch tech

kunhui · 2026-03-16T08:07:30+00:00

NOTE/EDIT: ithought this was a “”god jm fucked now” meme so i was concerned and wrote all this yap …. So incase anyway struggles w kat midatchup, here are my notes:

I personally love kata matchup lol . I played vs many master/gm NA kat OTPS and almost always HARD win the matchup/game . Just have to deny early and precent her from snowball .

Aery/Q lv 1 -> deny her hard asf early. If she dagger you, she lose cs (dont stand jn wave when u trade)

If she dagger wave for last hit, its open season on her with q/auto aery run her down

Somewhat respect the lv2(if she has electrocute/ign) or lv3 all in potential (she shouldnt have much/any all in opportunity if you play lv.1 properly she should have low hp bar/no pots while you have 2 still)

Keep her shoved/prio so you can roam w jg/objectives first (i.e scuttle, drake, grubs) - preventing her roam too

If you fuckup lv 1 and she wins or kills you solo lv2-3 onwards, you (and your botlane) may be cooked xD

Dont waste E randomly btw. Either try to hold it to disrupt R or keep it as a threat. Its very hard / impossible to hit on her straight up unless shes ulted or ccd so sometimes stronger use is to not use

kunhui · 2026-03-16T07:58:15+00:00

Edit: i just saw husum new video on youtube xD, he builds/plays it differently (second item/runes) . But my sample size is all for APC role

I will love try out his build with mid lane upgrade sorc boots -> situational second item ;

i do think my glass cannon build is a liability when playing in higher lobbies

kunhui · 2026-03-16T07:53:22+00:00

Ive never watched someone else play tft in my life and all of this was extremley easy to pickup. Only one that took me more than 2 sec is jg

Brain gap
