Caring and Respect

Divewing··8 votes·425 views

You dont have to care about me. You don't have to respect me. Honestly you probably shouldn't, I'm a bit of an asshole.

But if you want to reach anywhere in ranked. You better damn well care about the enemy team. And you better respect them more.

Frankly the amount of games I get where people just don't seem to give a shit about where the enemy team is/was/could be is disgusting. The amount of fights I see happening 30 seconds in advance that STILL happen no matter how furiously I ping is astounding. The amount of times people walk into a brush with LITERALLY 0 WARDS ON THAT HALF OF THE MAP only to get bopped is horrific.

I don't know what it is, but in my Elo at least there seems to be three fatal fixations that everyone seems to have. 1: Split second commitments. "Oh dragon is up? WE MUST DO THIS RIGHT NOW." 2: Obsessions over fighting to achieve anything. Want to take a tower? 5v5 in front of it. Want that dragon? Not before we ace them. Need to waveclear and defend mid? Lets all 5v5 so we don't die in a 5v5 dive. 3: 5v5 teamfighting is the only strategy in the game. Now this fucking one This fucking one I hate so much A FULL 5 VERSUS 5 TEAMFIGHT IS VERY RARELY THE WAY YOU WILL FUCKING WIN A GAME. CERTAINLY NOT INTENTIONALLY "Zed, Nidalee, Thresh, Tristana. Hmmmm, fighting the enemy team could be really tough. Between the Lissandra and Brand CC for days, the Fiora melting people, and the Twitch flanking, with Ezreal firing from the backline, I don't think we should 5v5 this game. lets 5v5 teamfight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Now make sure you're sitting down for this next part. You ready? Are you sure?? OK then. 5v5 teamfights. Are NOT the only strategy in League of Legends! gasp shock horror "But Lancir, wouldn't that mean I could pick damn near anything I wanted, and win if I try a different strategy?" "You're absolutely correct RandomGuy69. The magic of League of Legends is there is no perfect composition, so if you play to your strengths well, and respect the enemy's strengths, hell you could be in the LCS in a year!"

Seriously. Fucking use wards. Fucking respect your opponents. Fucking google the term "Win Condition(s)". Fucking learn how to think.

Just because every other sheep in the fucking paddock wants to jump into death every 2 minutes doesn't make it a good idea.

Rant over.

Note: Apologies for the crude language, but this is something that triggers me like no one's business, second probably only to people picking tool champions and then continuing to ruin the champions image for me (LeeSin Graves XinZhao Tryndamere Zed) Note 2: Funny how little you see the players who properly main those champions act like a dick.

Yea honestly I know what your talking about. Idk if it really gets better in solo queue.

Maybe mid plat or diamond? I am not there so don't know.

Its like bronze-silver 4 objectives hardly exist. People just there to fight.

Then like gold 4/5 - silver 3 is like "o objectives are things" and people just see dragon or baron and start doing it regardless of what the enemy team is doing. So the plus is at least they trying to do objectives, but at poor times a lot of the time.

Plat 4-gold 3. Seems pretty similar but think about objectives a little more. Seems people are starting to finally prioritize turrets/inhib over dragon and baron. Less running in and trying to kill dragon 2v5 and just leaving it when they know the fight is lost. But still def not perfect.

But yea I have an account that's gold 5 0 lp silver mmr and honestly the dragon/baron calls made are ridiculous. Its like people want to do objectives, but they don't really think about when a good time to do it is. Lots of fights over dragon where enemy has 4-5 people there and 1-2 people will go try and contest and die.

Or killing 1 member of enemy team then rushing to baron when its still warded and the 4 enemy players left up are still strong and are going to contest baron. This leads to a lot of stolen barons and reverse aces/throws.

My personal favorite is the ace enemy team then run to dragon instead of pushing towers/inhib...... ugg i would be lying if I said this hadn't happened more than once in the last week. Literally rage inducing.

I support this tho:

1: Split second commitments. "Oh dragon is up? WE MUST DO THIS RIGHT NOW."

Because guess what, it's better to do something rather than do nothing, which is what most people tend to do.

No but the problem lies in it's literally: walk past dragon, oh hey that exists. started right then and there.

That shit requires set up lmfao. Wheres the jungler? Do you have vision on the flanks? Is the pit warded?

Sorry if I didn't elaborate enough.
