It's not your teammates fault that your hardstuck

[@woohoojoey]

The most offensive question ever asked: "but what did YOU do"? I love the language in this video. I get more titled by all the blaming than I do eating L streaks. I can't stand the overwhelmingly spoiled, entitled egos in this community. I wish everyone would focus more on themselves and embrace this mindset you're preaching here. Keep scolding 'em, Bro!

[@talanwr]

It's not about scolding people. I understand why people blame others and I do it myself too often. I just want to share this message so others can hopefully learn and to try to hold myself accountable and to the same standard.

[@5iveYoungDia8ight]

Sometimes the scolding is necessary to get the point across. More humility in the community is all that’s needed

[@snailnicole]

I learned this mindset from watching you stream and it’s honestly made the game more fun AND I was able to climb easier.

[@talanwr]

I'm glad it helped

[@hunterdillman3678]

Talon preaching the mindset more content creators should take a stand on. I’ve heard that 40% of games you will just be winning 40% you will just be losing but the 20% of games in between will be on you to make the major difference between victory or defeat. Challenger players are making mistakes every game but they difference is they consistently represent their mistakes and grow or learn or change from them.

[@talanwr]

Ye most challengers still blame others a lot including myself. But we also will look at our own mistakes as well.

[@Sylgerr]

To blame teammates or to blame Riot won't help anyone to climb ranks. To build a strategy to adopt when matchmaking is fu*ked or when teammates make bad decisions WILL improve your skills and make you climb faster. MOBA 5v5 always will contain some random parts, if you can't handle, you will win less games. TY talanwr, one of the wisest content creator around.

[@thechinesevirus9628]

When tour 18 and 2 and all 4 of ur teammates are negative and feeding its not your fault and riot is to blame for matchmaking they match u with shiity teammates if u have high win rate to try and get u to 50% cuz they game isn't skill based its time based thats y u can get challengers with 40%wr cuz they play non stop

[@talanwr]

@@thechinesevirus9628 It is not possible to reach challenger with 40% win rate and nearly every single player who reaches challenger has at least a 50% win rate with very few exceptions

[@ENO-ak]

This is the message that needs to get out there for sure.

[@saviokeith6780]

Love the humility bro but you’re definitely in the higher tier of challenger players. Also S tier content as usual 🙏🏾

[@talanwr]

Ty (:

[@antisocialjustice]

The creators of the best educational content try to take as much responsibility as they can, because they want to maximize their agency in the game. Discovering missed opportunities, ways to avoid situations where your allies could mess up, and playing from behind - they all help to make you a better player. The team environment is one of the major appeals of a MOBA and your allies are never going to be perfect.

[@MrFright2010]

It's not the titles fault that I clicked this, And yet it is.

[@talanwr]

HAHAHA

[@bellan812]

You basically implemented the stoic philosophy in your game. The video is about "You Don't Control What Happens, You Control How You Respond."

[@hena4212]

I am doing all these stuff. I do not flame or trashtalk. I just type "please, recall we're going dr in 30 secs" I even go to herald to assist my jungle. I always review my defeats, asking my self where did I go wrong, etc., but, the problem is the feeder teamates. They always pick unfamiliar champions, then fed the whole game 0/9 for only 10mins. We can scale because I helped all lanes, but, the problem again they think they can 1v5 or 2/5 late game. They just kept throwing winnable games.

[@mannyman5521]

Hey dude, nice video and I totally agree with you, change and improvement always comes urself. Anyways I got a question: Taking Micro and Macro into Comparison, would you see these 2 factor as equally important or would you say macro is more important then micro?

[@talanwr]

I'd say macro is way way way more important. If you put yourself into the correct situation to begin with then your micro only needs to be decent to win out. If you put yourself in a really bad situation your micro needs to be amazing to win out. Not to mention you can fix bad micro by just playing easy champions.

[@mannyman5521]

@@talanwr thanks to your reply dude, it seems like I was on the right track, I recently focused alot on being good on a certain champ when being good at the game is actually way more important

[@talanwr]

@@mannyman5521 I do recommend sticking to 2-3 champs because then you don't have to focus on the micro as much since you will be very comfortable on the champs

[@mannyman5521]

@@talanwr thanks for the advice, I play mid lane using zed and zoe depending on team comp, I played zed for about 100 games now with a slightly below 50% Winrate, should I choose another champion or should I stick? I gotta feeling that in like another 100 games my zed Winrate will be positive, cause my micro will get better and I'll work on my macro as well

[@talanwr]

@@mannyman5521 zeds rly difficult so I'd only say grind games on him if you really enjoy it. If ur goal is to win I'd say just go for easier champs. But what you enjoy is most important and if you get good enough at zed its worth it

[@taurenbeggs5017]

Just curious if you think glacial augment would be decent to use on Vi instead of aftershock. I feel like ganking with it with the slow and damage reduction would be pretty decent

[@talanwr]

It might be good yea. Never tried it but probably good into low mobility champs

[@konstantinkonstantinov7078]

I totally agree with u even when u were couching me. For instance, yesterday we were ahead but were only 3 of us (killed their jungle beforehand) but our adc was slain. My top and mid went baron and their Jhin is alive. I am Vi semi tank and i know it is again flip cuz jhin can outsmite me. So he stabds behind baron and throughout the whole time i knew what the correct decision is - to ult him (i had even gargoyle) and then my voli kills him and its gg. Baron made me very low plus destroyed my resistances and jhin killed me and then stole baron. At that moment we lost but i knew what the correct decision was and was aware we are 50/50 even 40/60 for them when the game is like 80/20 for us. But i listened to my teammates so the fault is on me. I am the jungle i know better than them when it is worth baron and knew the correct decision but still didnt go for it. Thats why I am hardstuck master every season with 30-35 points and 52% wr

[@talanwr]

I'm glad you have this mindset. Keep focusing on improving and I'm sure you'll climb

[@francodegasperi3814]

I started reviewing replays again and you would be surorised how much mistakes you can find. There's a lot of value in pausing the game and reading the situation properly, train the decision making muscles.

[@talanwr]

For sure

[@dddddjjjjjjjjjjjjful]

Love how talon is tryna teach people self accountability when the average WR player is as delulu as my neighbor hood crack demon who be calling me pretty cakes every morning 😂😂

[@ChickensBucket]

Honestly yea,playing games,At Grandmaster I just stop playing consistently and i couldn't climb anymore lol,It was even harder bcuz back in season 8 I think,you need like 100 freaking points to reach Challenger and I barely play between 1-4 games a day or not play the game for like 3 days.When i come back to play,I reach nowhere and the distance between my goal and my position doesn't shrink lol.Tho I did enjoy the time reading light novels instead of playing league,even now i do.

[@talanwr]

Doing what you enjoy is most important. The only light novels I've read are called "Another" and "Classroom Of The Elite" any other suggestions?

[@ChickensBucket]

@@talanwr Hmm you like Isekai? I would say "Dungeon Defense". It's not your typical crappy OP protagonist style.A lot of manipulation/mind games involved.I'd rate it 10/10 and a lot of people like it as well.I hope you try it Oh right:I kinda forgot to mention the novel got dropped due to plagiarism after volume 5 and uhh yeah....

[@sl-oppfn907]

Basically speaking facts 💯

[@ontheruntips7242]

This video is the harsh truth that most refuse to face on wild rift. Imo matchmaking is the problem, but not for the reason you may think. Someone will get into a match and pick yasuo(for instance) and absolutely stomp everyone. Then the next match will go 0-10 and flame the whole team. The first match when they were paired with subpar players it made them feel like they must be playing right because they won hard. Really it just instilling bad macro and skill set. This is more evident at season reset.

[@talanwr]

I understand what you mean but I don't blame matchmaking for that. I think it's that people are too focused on results rather than focused on what's actually correct

[@heavenlyyaksha9626]

What to do when U have an idiot split pushing, while team is winning. Losing multiple games coz some idiot decides to slpitpush during elder or baron.

[@redmanrode8349]

Won multiple games by split pushing while baron or elder are up to distract several enemies, if my team has a brain they can get elder or baron by force

[@infernofarhan8478]

How about troll and afk always ,or play unfamiliar champions and feed the lane

[@krngl421]

How is it possible that enemies are always better than my teammates? Is it some kind of logic violating technology like reversible hill that allows you go downhill no matter your direction? Who are these enemies? Are they some extraterrestrial entities? Are my teammates just bots? Why are there so many challengers with positive winrate if the algorithm of matchmaking makes everyone's winrate 50%? Are the content creators just paid actors? Riot is owned by chinese company so it may be a chinese plot to destroy the western young generation mental heath. We will never know but we know one for sure: I'm not a bad player.
