League is the most rage inducing thing.

No, I'm serious.

I've had so many damn experiences in losing my damn LP just because teammates couldn't dedicate FIVE MINUTES to practice on a custom or a norm game. Or to learn counter picks. Or to learn how to fucking build a comp at all. Or take time to actually learn teamwork and to not be a toxic asslord that assumes the game is fucking IMMEDIATELY over with an enemy advantage... at twenty fucking minutes.

I go into ranked, and I've played quite a few games with Zed, so I bring them for ranked for about the third time. I picked about second or third, and the enemy picked LeBlanc. I remember it god damn vividly too: we had a Draven ADC, Karma support, Volibear jungler, and a... yasuo top. They may have had an ADC, but it was hard to notice over something glaring down at me.

Was it the LeBlanc? While they had insane amounts of damage, which I took barrier for, no. It was the complete ignorance of the jungler and toplaner. Ours. Yasuo top in ranked is basically fucking teemo. But much worse. For your team, not theirs. That neat-o OP factor you see in mid to high elo? (or anyone who actually understands the damn game for that matter) That's a 50/50 shot of a good game where the team can compliment their edgy and irresponsible decisions. Down here, in Bronze (or any where else probably.), that chance drops to 10%.

(SIDE NOTE: Yeah, I've acknowledge the fact picking zed was a poor option, especially if you don't know what the enemy team holds. I was planning to carry my weight, and I even started to later on.)

When the game went early I couldn't really touch LeBlanc at all since it hardly takes an elementary school education to zone someone with LeBlanc. I took what I could get, they were probably pretty good too by their CS count.

Game went on, I died for the second time cause I couldn't really dodge or flash away, which was an oversight. I took ignite and barrier for the offensive peel and/or damage.

Yasuo claimed to lag, fed an Irelia. They still weren't most of the problem. Yasuo got toxic, I believe the jungler did too. 'this zed' 'feeder' muted them for a bit unmuted later 'this zed' again called a 'pussy' for standing back from an obvious tower dive, and a 3v5.

volibear charged after the enemy wukong in river, while the leblanc and irelia were fairly ready to respond. i ping to fall back, he doesn't listen. i think, "hey, maybe he's got something planned and i'm just underestimating." nope. like an idiot, I commit and trust they can actually do something. wukong ran to mid, leblanc came and irelia did to, we were boxed in. my shadow was on cooldown, so i was unable to escape.

yasuo commits to fights and claims to have lag.

20 minutes comes around, i point out its actually possible to win if we gain our footing. they had around 19 kills to our 7, but it actually didn't look that bad to me. i'd say all of our champions were more late-game ones that could easily wipe them off the face of the earth if some focus happened. leblanc and wukong got caught out way later, died to some good plays by our team

yasuo whines

two towers down mid, i tactically retreat while the rest of the team finds death appealing instead of winning.

Ally team voted to surrender with 4 votes for 0 against. are you fucking kidding me

who

fucking

does that

I have no problem with going "yeah this game is pretty much in a lock against us, we can't win man." when it's actually unwinnable usually my leniency is much easier on a normal game, because that's just a waste of time. you don't do that shit on ranked. stop.

on ranked, the rules and morals change. league itself is hardly fun for most people ranked is sure as hell not meant to be fun your enemy doesn't want you to have fun you don't talk to them only BM if they make the mistake of leaving all chat on. almost ANY game can be won. play your comp proper, steal objectives, don't pick fights underleveled, etc.

i was at b1, 20 LP. now i'm at 2 LP. because fucking cowards and ignorant idiots enjoy throwing away LP without a fight. unless you're LITERALLY AT BRONZE FIVE WITH 0 LP, YOU HAVE NO REASON TO SURRENDER WITHOUT A FIGHT.

please stop ruining ranked you cowards

this has been a possibly futile message from a concerned player, have a good one, and don't fuck up my ranked games please.
