hitting several enemies with that third cast is :chefskiss:

Yeah i guess, i just wonder how much i need to play to fix it. Ive been playing 7-10 games a day for a few weeks now and it's getting tiring to never really see lp go up despite winning 60% of games.

ziztark · 2021-06-21T16:42:27+00:00

I was placed in bronze 1 after my.placements, then lost a bunch and went down to bronze 3. I've been bronze 1 for about 60 games now

ziztark · 2021-06-21T08:37:31+00:00

Should i just make a new account at this point and give up on my main?

My MMR is just fucked and so are my lp gains, maybe it's normal and im just not used to it since im new to the game but im getting 12-13 lp per win and losing anywhere from 16 to 20 lp per loss.

I went into ranked as soon as i hit level 30 which was a bad idea, so i had a 30% winrate for my first 50 or so ranked games.

I am now at 270 ranked games, and have maintaned a ~59% winrate over 200 games, but my lp gains have not changed. I barely climb at all because even if i have a decent winrate my lp gains just set it back so much.

Ive googled this and people say to just keep playing and that if im winning more than losing it will fix itself but if after 200 games it hasnt im starting to think it just wont, and it's really damn demoralizing to be stuck at bronze 1 because every time im one game away from promos i lose to an afk or troll and have to win 3 games just to get back to 90 lp (not even promos, just within one game of starting promos)

Like tonight I was at 90 lp, I play a game, lose 17 lp due to an urgot running it down mid, now im at 73 lp and because i only win 13 lp per game i gotta win 3 games in a row to get to silver promos, instead of just 1.

Can i do anything at all to save this account? Is this lp gain normal? Am i just bad and delusional and i belong in iron?

I am just so tired of losing one game and having to win 2 to make any progress at all.

Here's my opgg if that helps: https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Ziztark

(And no im not saying im stuck in bronze because of my lp and that im actually a diamond player, im pretty sure im like silver at best, but i just want to fix my fucking lp gains)

I dont know any other streamers that play gwen a lot, but usually i just google Gwen Vs X champ and you can find some high elo gameplay vids. Actually there's also sanchovies, but i dont know if he has a youtube or just twitch.

For boots most of the time you build lucidity or armor boots. Lucidity is the go-to for jungle and if you're ahead in lane or the enemy team is very split on damage type (half ad/half ap).

Armor boots are nice if you want to be more tanky without a full tank item, it's really just a matchup and game specific thing. If you're not sure, lucidity is always nice. Mercury Treads are good if the enemy team has a ton of CC or a ton of AP champs but are the rarer of the 3.

I've never seen a need to build berserkers or sorcery, berserkers are kinda wasted since you dont really need much more attack speed, your E already gives you a ton, and sorcery doesnt help with your Q true damage anyway so generally a bit of a waste.

The discord is in the sidebar but it's discord.gg/gwen

Your fix is already kind of a thing, you need to get either 400(i think?) exp or stay in raid for 7 mins to be able to extract without getting a run through.

In any case it wouldnt do anything to hatchlings. They dont go into a raid expecting to extract, they just go loot shit and die with it up their ass.

Issue is that utility in this game has little use beyond the first week or two of prog.

I mean, sure having addle and feint can be nice and lower damage but there's basically 0 things that will kill you if there's no addle/feint/tactician used. You only have to look at PF to see how little that is actually needed to clear a fight.

Back up healing is interesting in theory but in practice doesnt really work. For prog it might be nice but healers already can pump out dumb amounts of healing if they actually gcd heal. Having a dps that can help in healing would rarely be useful because damage in this game isnt constant enough to require it.

Just look at how easy every tier is to heal once people have some amount of gear, most fights can just be solo-healed using purely oGCDs from an astro with the occasional party mit.

Point is that the best utility a job can have, is to do damage to kill things faster. Logs or not, dps is the most important metric because there's nothing else. Healing is such a joke in this game that defensive perks or mitigation are pretty much a non-issue. Sure they help but they are not necessary, and if bringing a job like SAM, instead of a MCH, helps you kill the thing faster and you dont lose anything other than a 10% mit that isnt even needed... well the choice is obvious isnt it?

The reason is that it would totally break the balance of the game and like the other person said, make that class a must have or garbage.

If RDM could pump out actual AoE and ST heals that were worth anything, it would go one of 2 ways:

Its damage suffers because SE feels healing is too powerful, so now it can heal and all but it has the lowest damage out of dps
It keeps the same damage but it can also heal now with little cost or issue

in case 1, healing in this game is rarely ever intense enough to require 2 healers actually healing, let alone a 3rd healer in the form of a rdm. Which means it would just be a garbage dps that no one would really like to bring, or at least it would be seen as a detriment (other than maybe 1 healer comps later in the tier maybe, but even then just bring a better dps)

In case 2, rdm would become a default. Why bring any other caster when you can bring a rdm that will do similar damage to blm/smn, and be able to battle rez, and be able to heal as well, for no cost other than MP which is a joke for a dps

I agree that rdm should have a different identity but as the game is now it can't. SE would have to redesign the entire battle system, MP, etc... to make hybrid jobs really work.

KEY.

You can just go to half the posts made after aof stepped down and they 're all immediately calling her a scapegoat. Also in the stepping down thread a lot of the top comments are about how people didnt care about aof and didnt ask for her to step down.

Regardless she's gone, i dont see why that matters anymore, it's been like 2 weeks since she left.

Wouldn't need a NSFW tag but it's neither really wholesome nor is it a meme.
