Question 15% WR Disparity in Solo Queue between Blueside and Redside over 440 games - What are potential reasons and how do I fix it.

72 Upvotes

I started playing back in March and have steadily been climbing, and today, while I was looking over my statistics out of curiosity, I noticed that I have a 47% winrate on redside compared to 62% on blueside. I wouldn't really think much of it except this is over many many games, which has me wondering what could be the potential reasons the gap is so large?

For some context and ill attach my OPgg if anyone wants to do some digging, I main Fiora and Yone, and have not really been picky with first or last pick for the past few months so I somewhat doubt its completely to do with matchups although perhaps it is.

Anyways, just asking for what possible reasons it could be, and as mentioned in the caption, how could i rectify it. Ty

edit: so far the reigning theories are as stated below

camera control just sucks ass (for reference I use static unlocked but I use drag scroll over camera panning). Most notibly in midlane i don't think I pan my camera down as often resulting in having less vision overall and when my camera is off center to my character I get a bit confused. This could affect teamfights/skirmishes because Im coming from the top rather than from the bottom so theres a lot of vision im losing out on and prob am missing more q's and ults and such. I see this being most impactful on yone because a lot of the time you are trying to kill someone from 3 screens away

Topside specifically is easier to get ganked from redside since you dont have tribush ward (i use that a lot to cover lvl 2/3 and full clear ganks which tend to ruin the lane)

redside vital is shitty on fiora which makes you lose lvl 1 wave prio

lastly there was a funny one being potential brain damage, which I believe is a nonzero possibility

Discussion About CSing

What exactly is CS and how can i increase my stats? I've looked on google but I gen do not understand a thing. I spend most of the time killing minions my CS stats do go up but not up enough. I'm a beginner and I would love all the help I can get. I hope there can be a time I can understand this game.

support What are common "invisible" support mistakes?

15 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Minu. I'm a plat support main. I recently made a post asking for some help on climbing due to my carries dropping the ball quite often and me, as a support, not being able to function without someone to support.

A lot of feedback I received was about the "invisible mistakes of support".

What are some mistakes that supports commonly make?

jungle I do not understand a single thing about jungle and I am D4 ADC main...

7 Upvotes

Title says it all. My main account is D4 and I main ADC, but I cannot for the life of me win in jungle... And if you ask, how bad can it be? My secondary account for learning is about to demote from Plat down to SILVER. I am not joking.

I have to admit that I am playing kindred (and I heard she is on the harder side of champs in jungle), because I am an ADC main. I just can't fathom what to do and enemy junglers do the most random things and get away with it. Every time I look at it, it seems to have no cause.

Like they tunnel so heavily trying to deny me stacks, that they give up drake for it, or herald or objectives that are far more important, but I am too bad at this role to capitalize on that.

I honestly feel ashamed, but here is my op.gg: https://op.gg/lol/summoners/euw/HopAndCope-Bye

I follow the build of Coach CastFM.

Discussion Coming back from 2024

6 Upvotes

Hi guys,
I just got my new gaming laptop and I decided to get back to LoL and my last gaming was 2024. Scrolling through YT about what changes but still I hope my fellow reddit users can help me through this.
First, I didn’t gave up on League, actually I reached Master-Challenger ranks in Wild Rift since its first launch and consistently on it. Though I wont deny WR is easier than LoL, I got used to it; the controls, the micros and macros under shorter gameplays, the limited champ pools.
Things I got frustrated about are these;
When I got my opp laner fed, I feel the game is getting longer but I can’t afford to give up but I feel the gap is getting wider. IDK man, never felt this before.

The shop HUD is different, I mean it’s good that I can track my next build tho, but I can’t see my other options faster rather than those three. Is that better or not?

I think I suck in my controls honestly, I admit that I’m so frustrated that I admit don’t play like this before with M&K in LoL, I’m much faster with map configs, skills execution etc but I think I am a newbie again.

All that is left for me is the champions and items that I know since 2024. Controls and new things in league is very overwhelming for me.

Where should I start? And what’s next?

-my new account is currently Level 9 and most of the time I got carried by a single player in order to win. This is not how I used to be. I used to lose matches against very high skilled players and still be happy about it but not like this.

Feel free to TT I suck rn ik.

Question How do I lane with weak/losing matchups?

5 Upvotes

Hi, I am currently a gold ADC main, I started playing ranked about 2 months ago and have managed a pretty good winrate on my main role. I started playing league as a jungler a few years back and didn't really take the game too seriously or want to improve until recently. I started playing more mid/top as I hit a bit of a plateau on my ADC climb, but found myself absolutely getting destroyed in early losing matchups into champs like sett/darius in top and fizz/yone mid. I think I just don't know what to do when I get completely zoned off the wave and out traded in the early game so I end up walking up and dying because I feel like I'm losing too much cs/experience. How do I avoid and how do I recover this situation when it happens?

Question Why are there flames on the ground after you kill an enemy?

2 Upvotes

When you kill someone, a bunch of flames burst out of them. They give a move speed.

I'm not sure whether they happen in every game. I don't remember when they got added.

What's the point of those things? I feel like it's kinda unfair if it's just random. Is it a drake buff?

Trundle Split pushing macro goals? Brand new player playing Trundle

1 Upvotes

Hey all! Currently level 14 and don’t really know what I’m doing. I’m enjoying both support and top lane because I feel like I kinda understand what I’m doing lol.

Been doing well with Trundle and he’s a ton of fun!! I love just being a stat stick DPS check. I feel like losing to a Trundle’s gotta feel like shit. I’m sure he’s easily counterable at higher levels but just in my casual draft games if I get a level on somebody it’s kinda just over if they aren’t using their champ to their fullest.

Anyways, I’m not really struggling learning his moveset right now considering my boi’s skill floor so I’m just trying to figure out how to play around my team as a premier split pusher!!!

Just had some questions about it and I’m wondering if I’m thinking about the role mentally in the right way because that’s a big thing for me.

From what I’m seeing, a big part of my job while split pushing is making the team respect me. I know that sounds so cocky but my goal has been to make myself a known threat and force the opposing team to send someone else my way.

Then if I get double teamed, yay!!! Just don’t die while my team can have a nice lil 4v3 team fight on the complete other side of the map.

Is that vaguely what I’m aiming to do after laning? I’m still learning wave management so I’m not nearly at my full potential yet but I just need to play more games.

Thanks in advance!

Question Why do Runes still exist?

0 Upvotes

I genuinely cannot understand why this system is still in the game. I despise systems where you need to make a choice before the game even starts. The best solution would be to 1. Build this system into the game that you access as you level your character up. 2. Scrap it entirely and add something in game

I don’t think removing it works since a lot of the heroes are balanced around these… but Riot has always been lazy. Hell they never even made a damn application for the game! it’s still a web browser that can’t scale up well past 1080p. My buddy defends the system but nothing feels worse than forgetting to change runes and it’s a GG before it starts.

Dota removed facets for a couple of reasons, there’s an illusion of choice, you’ll find the best choice and stick with it and the heroes that have good decisions are incredibly rare. but also you just forget to change facets sometimes and it’s gg. but valve is known for making bold massive game changing decisions that essentially make Dota 3. League and riot don’t operate that way.

Could just be a rant post but seriously… why does this previously pay to win system still exist? Is it something just hardcoded in and they can only rework it at this point as removing it would cause a tremendous amount of issues?
