  • is kind of your fault.
  • And that's what we are about to prove today.
  • That's right, right now there isn't really much to talk about when it comes to League of Legends.
  • As big as January was with all the good news and the bad news, February kind of slowed down.
  • With that said, Yordles are still right behind the corner.
  • But this all means that among the silence people started focusing back on
  • the ranked games of League of Legends.
  • Which, I think everyone can agree, is quite a dark place.
  • Full of misery and conspiracy theories.
  • In fact, there is one theory that has always dominated the internet around the ranked climb.
  • And yesterday, Riot Frozone, who you may know from some of the dev videos, confirmed that the biggest conspiracy theory around League is not real.
  • Of course I am talking about the theory that acted as the main coping mechanism for anyone who lost a game.
  • Because surely it wouldn't be their fault, right?
  • It would be their teammates.
  • All of them are bad, while you
  • You, of course, are doing well.
  • That's right.
  • Today we are talking about Loser's Queue.
  • Now, in case you don't know, Loser's Queue is a conspiracy theory that says that if you lose, in the next game Riot will give you more people on your team that also lost.
  • therefore increasing the chances of you getting bad players.
  • But also, on the other side, if you win in the next game, you would be more likely to get good players.
  • The reason?
  • Well, of course, to artificially increase player engagement.
  • Now, how would that work?
  • Well, it is simple.
  • As long as you are on a streak, and it doesn't matter if it's a good streak or a bad streak, you are more likely to keep playing the game.
  • If you are on a losing streak, you are more likely to keep playing until you finally win.
  • We have all done that.
  • We all know that one is real.
  • But also, if you keep winning, you have the dopamine and you just want to keep playing.
  • So again, no matter if there is a winning streak or a losing streak, as long as there is a streak, you are more likely to play the game.
  • But now...
  • Would people really believe that this is real?
  • Well, first of all, when people lose, they are ready to pick up any excuse imaginable.
  • I mean, of course, if they lose, it is not their fault.
  • They can't comprehend the fact that every game is essentially a coin flip, where you can try and influence where the coin will flip
  • while there is also nine other people in the same game doing the same thing.
  • But to be fair there is another reason why people believe that the conspiracy theory might be real.
  • It's the fact that there are other gaming companies who dived into similar sketchy things.
  • For example, EA has an entire patent for optimized engagement through matchmaking, where the game is more likely to give you a whale on the other team so you get destroyed and you wanna also pay for the game so you are just as good.
  • That's a topic for a totally different video.
  • But now as to how many people would believe that the Losers' Q is real?
  • What is Losers' Q and does it really exist?
  • Is Losers' Q a thing?
  • Existence of Losers' Q, a statistical analysis.
  • How do I get out of Losers' Q?
  • Losers' Q explained and why it is real.
  • Yeah, needless to say, people believe it is real.
  • So after many years of this conspiracy theory bubbling up, Riot Frozone came out on Twitter to talk about
  • Loser's Queue.
  • The last copium mechanism of anyone stuck in ranked games.
  • So let's have a look at how it was all debunked.
  • Loser's Queue doesn't exist.
  • While we are not intentionally putting bad players on your team to make you lose more, even if we assume that premise wouldn't we want to give you good players so you stop losing?
  • Well actually you see according to the theory you would be breaking the streak and you don't want to do that you want to keep people hooked in.
  • But hey that's just a theory.
  • For ranked we match you on your rating and that's all.
  • If you have won a lot and start losing it's because you are playing against better players and aren't at that level anymore.
  • It's not because we matched you with all the inters and put all the smurfs on the enemy team.
  • For ninety nine point nine percent of people reading this
  • Even if you think you are playing perfectly and post a good KDA screenshot with the rest of your team inting, I promise you that if a good player reviews your game there is one hundreds of things you could have done differently that could have changed the trajectory of the game.
  • This is something I actually learned years ago when pushing from gold to platinum.
  • Your KDA is absolutely meaningless.
  • at least to a degree.
  • In gold an item capped AD carry can probably one v five but in the ranks above that you really want to turn your advantages into wins.
  • You have to roam, you have to destroy the other lanes too, you have to actually go for turrets.
  • Simply farming the same enemy over and over again does nothing.
  • So Frozone is right here.
  • Blindly showing off your KDA doesn't really mean much.
  • That's why the entire game kind of shifted more towards objectives.
  • I mean, remember when back in twenty fourteen, YouTubers stacked a lot of bronzies on the enemy team so that they could farm KDA for content?
  • Yeah, I remember.
  • Sure, there are games where your teammates play poorly.
  • That's just the nature of a five v five game.
  • In the long run, you are the only common factor and the only one responsible for the rating is you.
  • If you took an unwinnable game and replayed it with any challenger in your spot, it would probably result in a win.
  • That's right.
  • Here, Frozone is just telling you what you probably don't want to hear.
  • If you lose, it is
  • probably your fault.
  • Yes, there are games where you will have such a big disadvantage that it is almost impossible to win it.
  • The key word being almost impossible.
  • There is a reason why challenger players are able to reach challenger in twenty games or less.
  • It's because they know how to win these lost games.
  • I'd like to use TFT for a really good analogy.
  • People who don't play ranked in TFT will tell you that this game is just a bunch of random numbers.
  • So it goes down to chance as to how good your rank actually is.
  • But they fail to realize that master players
  • consistently hit master rank no matter what.
  • And that's simply because they know how to play around the numbers and they know how to increase their chances of winning.
  • And the exact same thing is happening in League.
  • So if you lose, you have to live knowing there are things you could have done better.
  • after which Frozone continues.
  • A good non giving up attitude, a growth mindset, investing in a good coach or asking reputable people for advice will help you make your relationship with League a lot better.
  • What if I'm not looking for a relationship?
  • There are five potential giver uppers on the enemy team and only four on yours.
  • don't make it five.
  • This brings up another good point.
  • If you decide that you are playing an unwinnable game, at that point you are one of the five people who is giving up.
  • And that might be what is dragging the team down.
  • So the next time you see a one against four surrender vote, maybe you should think about what you want to do with that game.
  • Then again, this is a video game and people are supposed to have fun.
  • I get it.
  • but just don't complain after you get onto a losing streak.
  • But thankfully, Frozone still continues.
  • I mainly wanted to make this post because in the process of helping people debug their accounts, there are so many people who legitimately believe that we are putting them in a loser's queue that it's driving me crazy.
  • After which Frozone also gives us some tips for climbing the ladder.
  • Some observations from coaching over the last twelve years.
  • First of all, most players play too conservatively with a lead.
  • Playing on the edge to draw pressure and waste the jungler's time, while not throwing, is extremely impactful.
  • Playing for KDA so you can post a screenshot of doing well, while your team feeds so you can feel better, is not gonna help you get better.
  • This is exactly what I mentioned before.
  • If you actually win your lane, use that advantage to win the game.
  • At lower ranks, without people knowing how to utilize it, pushing your lane in does virtually nothing besides giving some gold to your team.
  • At least that's unless you take inhibitor and at that point I have no idea what's happening in the game.
  • But yes, you should roam, take objectives, help your teammates.
  • Number two, review every death.
  • Ninety five percent of deaths are avoidable until you hit a very high rank.
  • Find the root of cause of why you are dying.
  • Are you managing the wave incorrectly and not getting a ward out for common gank times?
  • Are you overcommitting to a fight when they are respawning?
  • Are you flipping it to crash a side lane when an objective is spawning?
  • Again, here Frozone is just giving people golden tips.
  • I mean all of these are things that people do up to diamond.
  • Sometimes in challenger.
  • And in some cases people do it because it's fun.
  • It's fun to dive after the enemy for a kill.
  • But don't be surprised when you learn that that's the perfect opportunity for the enemy jungler to gank you.
  • Again and again and again.
  • Number three, play to your win condition while identifying and disrupting theirs.
  • Find which lanes are volatile and most likely to carry the game from either side and prioritize your resources there.
  • If your top lane is a swingy matchup and you get them ahead, they are going to create so much pressure for you that the game becomes very easy to navigate.
  • I love this point the most because I subconsciously did that.
  • Back when I mained Bard, I learned that the best way to win a game is to leave my lane and roam mid.
  • And so I roamed as frequently as possible.
  • Now yes, my carries were not
  • the happiest about it but I did it during a mid dominating meta and I did secure the wins.
  • So depending on what champion you are playing find what you should do not only to win the lane but also what you should do to win the game.
  • Now of course this entire post did make it to Reddit where people had quite the debates about it.
  • But surprisingly, out of all the places, there were some people who pointed out a really smart thing.
  • And I love the coin analogy the most.
  • And it all goes back to the fact that mathematically, when you play League of Legends, it is always a coin flip.
  • In theory, you only have a fifty percent chance to win.
  • You either win
  • or lose.
  • That's ignoring all the player skill for now.
  • Well, when it comes to flipping a coin, one would assume that the outcome is random, which also means that it should be flipping back and forth a lot.
  • However, there is a mathematician's paradox.
  • According to math, if you flip a coin one hundred times, or in this case, assuming that most people have two hundred games on their accounts, let's say we flip the coin two hundred times.
  • Well, according to math, it is nearly mathematically impossible not to have at least one streak of at least
  • Which means every single one of you watching this video experienced a loss streak of at least seven.
  • Purely looking at random chances, if you have at least one hundred games on your account, statistically,
  • That's what happened.
  • That's the paradox around fifty fifty outcomes.
  • They are not flipping back and forth as often as you would expect.
  • If you lose nine times in a row, the next time you flip the coin, it is still a fifty fifty chance.
  • So the chance of losing again is still pretty high.
  • And that, my friends,
  • is how a conspiracy theory is born.
  • Because with enough people experiencing this paradox, people may believe that Riot wants to artificially increase the streaks.
  • Hence where the losing streak conspiracy theory came from.
  • And here Riot Frozone debunked it all.
  • Which means that surely
  • Now, people will accept it.
  • They will accept that perhaps they are simply not good enough and that they are not improving fast enough.
  • Surely people understand that in order to climb the ladder, you have to learn.
  • Surely it means that since losers queue doesn't exist and higher skilled players can consistently win better than lower skilled players, there must be a foolproof collection of tips that higher elo players have that consistently helps them.
