winning sandbox games - losing league game

Hello,
today i had to play against to play a league game against a team (Trill Gang). Before the game i tried some sandbox games and adjusted my strategy settings so in the end i would win.
I played multiple Sandbox-games and in the end i won all of them.
Then i played the league game against the same team and lost.
After the loss i played again multiple Sandbox-games and i won all of them.
might this be a bug, or how is this happening?

well not every game is a 100% win. Watch the game reply and see what happened there.For example , during beta testing the same happened to me a number of timese. When i watched the replay i noticed that my toplaner died to a gank right around the 15 minute mark. Then his entire team rushed mid (since literally everyone starts teaming up at 15) and he took 1 tower , then my team tried to tf 4v5 and lost and he snowballed based on respawn times , even tho my team was better


Things like that can happen sicne the game won't simmulate everytime the same. Random stuff like that is possible and there is no strategy that is 100% foolproof.

One more thing so ...
when i go by the game summary screen ... it makes even less sense that my team lost. maybe there is really something wrong?
just look at the numbers http://imgur.com/a/J7mj6

i have lost games like that as well , just as i said , by getitng caught out and losing 1 tf that snowballed the game in the enemy favour , but right now it might also be a certain bug that ends the games shortly after a period of time and asigns a random winner.

I know for a fact that said bug apears in sandbox games atm...not sure if team ranked and leagues have the same issue tho.


The huge influx of traffic the past days kinda messed up some stuff , so it is possible to be a bug as well.


That being said , knowing henri and the team , they will do their utmost to solve the issue soon. For example , during the beta , i've very rarely encountered bugs and when i did they were solved fast.


The fact is that it is possible to legit lose games like that without it being a bug , but with no replay , we can't know for certain...

That's really weird to know that you lost, based on the screenshot.

Btw, could it be a viable "strategy" to have a bad strategy, players on the wrong lanes, wrong champions, etc... so when player try to scrim your team in the sandbox mode, they win, and right before the real game, you change it for your actual strategy and win.

I think that it could counter any adaptation from the enemy team, since they can't know for sure how good (or bad !) your team really is.

Based on your screenshot, I can 100% say that the enemy team spawncamped you. It's a bug and it can happen to anyone, kinda sad.
