Having that many defeats in a row doesn't mean he is bad. You can only carry when your team is almost equally bad or equally good as the opponent . It also helps if you are a solo lane or jungler. Even a good player has to wade through the idiots unless he gets good placement matches. The times I won bot lane hard just to encounter a mid who was 6 levels higher compared to our mid.
Personally I think soloq in a team game is just too annoying. I only play LoL when friends are online. Why wade through all those idiots by yourself just to play against better opponents? I get plenty of diamond/plat opponents in normal and most of them aren't trolling.
And if you do a good focus on the +6 level midlaner or sneak as 2 or 3 in the jungle you'll kill him, no matter how fed he is if you are good enough/fed enough.
I started in Silver 4, I'm now in 1 and almost all the games I could carry were wins, no matter how stupidly bad other lane(s) was/were. Of course sometimes it didn't work because other lanes were too fed but that did not happen that much and after alllll trolls/noobs/afks I eventually won my matches and climbed the ladder, by playing mostly support (even when your carry is shit, does not know the specificities of his support, you can adapt and carry him because you are better than the division you are placed in.
ganking that mid, group early and stuff.. it all can work. but when you get demented team, you can do nothing. bad team comp can ruin this aswell (no hard CC for example). Wins and lossess in soloQ mean nothing. Sure, after some few hundreds of games you can look at his win ratio and see how someone is doing, but losing spree.. we all get those.
Carrying carry? Good job, never thought carrying idiots who goes 1v5 was possible. Cuz thats what I get if I play support.
I don't say it never happens. We all have losing sprees. But I only say that the other team has the same problems (focusing tank, etc.) and based on a few dozens matches, if you are better than the division you are placed in, you will win the matches.
I'm not saying you won't get out of silver eventually, I'm saying that it takes a lot of time and effort and requires you to wade through a lot of unwinnable games with feeders and flamers. I know most of the guys from bF carried themselves to somwhere between gold and plat I, but they still had to play a massive amount of games to get there.
They obviously found it enjoyable, I didn't. It's like playing on a public server in ET and trying to do objective. Ofcourse you can "carry", but a lot of times your team will be retarded and it will just be frustrating. So the fact that he is looking for a team because he keeps getting idiots in soloq, doesn't mean that he is too bad to carry himself. Perhaps he doesn't enjoy trying to win games filled with blind monks and feeding mordekaisers and he might prefer playing with people he can rely on.
But how come alost everyone complains about feeders/trollers/flamers/afks? It means they are everywhere, in your team and in the other one. They can be more often in your team for 10 matches but it will eventually even up with time (and not in 500 matches, in 20 or 30 games it will be even). Therefore, if you carry your game regulary, you will climb the divisions (and among the troll teammates matches, there are matches that you will still win if you are good enough).
yes, ofc you will "climb eventually". doesn't mean having feeders/trollers/flamers/afkers in your team - and losing because of them, eventho you outplay enemy 24/7 - isn't any less annoying :)
Example: i usually pick gangplank or vladimir in toplane when they ban Malphite or some AP/AD tank in top and when in bot / mid lane they make score like 0/5 after 10 mins trust me no matters how good u are. U are fucked up totally, specially if ur team play randomly and dont teamfight and oppos do. :X Last match played as jungler i ultied adc as warwick and the others focus the tanky... that's how things going
ofc sometimes u cant do shit but believe me most of the time u can, just play champ u can carry with
tbh i dont think gp can make a big difference... I already carried 3v5 with evelynn once shes a bit fed she snowballs crazy but afaik it will change with new season since they wanna reduce snowballing i heard anywayz... no matter what they say go for hardcore carry and try to avoid low dmg dealers. I myself was bronze 5 but it was my place i guess since i had bad knowledge of matchups and overall gamesense... but after ~700ranked games i improved a lot and climbed but i dont have time to go higher anymore i let this shit for tryharders.
I laugh hard when i see some guys bragging about being silver 3 and yet they have 10ranked games it doesnt represent their skill at all it just means they did "ok" during placement games anywayz its another problem...
just get leesin/vi/jarvan/shyvana/elise/evelyn... and carry the shit as jungler in solo q OR find a duo partner and play duo bot, or jungle + something, should be easier ;p
i know what you mean it's hard to play solo with those idiots in team all the time. but still imo you should stop playing gp :D it's a bit useless, I guess. at least I don't even play him, or see my friends playing him. if you find yourself as a toplaner, get some rape-champ that can dominate top, learn to play him on normals/rankeds if you want and then carry a game a bit. I don't play top that much but riven, nasus, renekton, leesin, irelia, jax should do the job if you get a bit fed. chogath or vlad are fine as well. i'm a "begineer" as well comparing to other guys here, since I only play since the end of season 2 with some breaks ofc. (silver in s2 and now gold in s3 with almost 300 ranked games). so i'm pretty know what you mean cuz i played a lot of games in silver and it's hard to play there, gold is a bit better but still it's nothing big xD
good quality games, for me as a LoL.noob, are when I play a duo with a platinum guy or higher so we got few golds/platinum/sometimes diamonds in a team and it looks a bit better. or it's also good when we play 5o5 ranked teams, with my polish pro gamers from plat/diamond, against platinum/diamond players as well, and i'm the worst from our team by being in gold, but I don't always play support as you might think, and it doesn't look that bad from my side when I take other roles!

best this is when a baddie takes my mid and goes 1/9 with zed :D
