Morning Folks, I am seriously curious on your thoughts on this.

I am on a 4 game losing streak right now. My last 4 ranked games were as follows.

Akali 1-5-4 (bad game)
Ezreal 2-2-8
Anivia 7-7-9
Taric 1-4-4
(52% win rate over all ranked games)

Could I have done better in the games? I'm sure. But other than the Akali games I feel I did well enough, but the team as a whole still lost.

I'm not looking for pity. I'm also not looking for people to say "Well you should have carried harder." What has happened has happened.

My problem is that I'm now at Zero League points. I am legitimately not wanting to play ranked because I don't want to go down to Silver 4. I started Silver 2, dropped to 3, went back to 2, dropped to 3, now close to 4. It's so hard to climb back up, that I don't know if I want to play another game.

Thanks for reading and commenting in advance

Tl;dr What do you do when you are worried that a continued bad losing streak will drop you another League?

Just play. You'll just end up where you're supposed to be. At least that's the theory.

Play ARAM. Actually no, that's all I do. I don't even play Ranked but if I did I'd play ARAM.

I, personally, also just lost 4 games in a row as well (due to various factors, some I could have altered, some not).

I'm just gonna call it a day.

Yeah play ARAM, that's what I do. Be silly and relax while buying unorthodox builds.

Well the "problem with that" that I am currently facing is that I feel that I'm either where LoL thinks I should be.

Hear me out before you say "Everyone thinks they're better than they are." Recently when I win games, I win about 25-27 league points. When I lose, I lose about 17-18. That means the LoL Match making system actually places me at higher than I'm at due to the fact it gives me more LP for wins than losses.

Plus, I've never played with someone higher than me ranked, and probably only played 2 ranked games as a Duo. So all my wins/losses have been on me.

Let me quote the The Rain Man.

"If you start to care too much about ELO, you'll suck more. It's like tryharding. Or something. Chill."

I had the same thing, then I went on a 10 loss streak, and now I gain 16-18 and lose 15-18. Also dropped back down to Silvir IV. Matchmaker is all about luck lately =\
