Same player, same elo, two accounts, 35% vs 68% winrate (100 vs 200 games played last season).

Needless to say skill wise I obviously am where I belong (currently) and that's okay. But:

Is it really JUST my champion selection (I play jungle on both, but on one I play champs like Nunu/Hecarim/Shaco and on the other I play Jax/Kha/Shaco), or is there something else contributing to this vastly different winrate?

One of my accounts is in Gold V and one is in Silver I. The lobby mmr is pretty much the same (S1 to G4 on average).

I have played both accounts this week.

On my low winrate acount I notice SEVERELY more toxic teams, who start to flame and shit talk during champion select, have weird picks at times and often two lanes fall behind before I have cleared one side of the jungle.

On the higher winrate account it's the exact opposite. I am the same player. My jungle pathing or approach to the game / gameplan doesn't suddenly change. For example in these matches my lanes go ahead before I have finished my full clear.

The team is communicating, pinging, and is MUCH friendlier.

Of course through that I am also able to snowball and thus impact the game much easier in a positive way as I don't have to play jungle from behind etc. But my approach to ganking or deciding what lane to play around doesn't change.

Almost exclusively on the bad WR account I get death threats from team mates that face-check enemy jungle with zero vision and get annihilated 5 times in a row "JGL DIFF!!!!", while on the high WR account MY team is actually the one waiting in the bush for this to happen and sending me friend requests for duo after.

So: The teams behavior is NOTICEABLY different on both accounts and I can see that in the Winrate.

Or am I delulu and suddenly play bad on one account, and better on the other?
