Is becoming a more team depended game a good thing or a bad thing?
Heard talk that league was becoming a more team depended game wanted to know if there is any truth in that
I mostly play ARAM so I was curios if there was any truth in this

It’s definitely a bad thing as not every single player plays for the team and rather plays for themselves.
U can’t have fast snowballing and one mistake costing people the game and THEN make the game more team dependent .
It’s what makes people frustrated knwoing the second baron spawns if one of ur teammates decides to take a stroll and get caught, you are helpless .
The amount of games I’ve lost because one guy got caught 30 minutes in and handed them a free baron is insane
Now the new baron buff makes it even worse so uhhh. Yikes .
It means that you can no longer hard carry as support. This makes me sad. Because now I will never leave Bronze 9000.
anything involving the terms "random" and "team-dependent" within the same thing is never good
For soloQ ,it"s really bad.
there are definitely ways around it, that is unless you are at the extreme pinnacle of skill where it all matters. had a challenger player on our team in normals (just oce things). ranks ranged from unranked to gold in general, more golds on the enemy team.
one person afk'd at 5 mins in. didn't matter coz this challenger jungler was near perfect with his macro, managing to farm his jungle, keep his lanes ahead, and snowball himself to legendary (Kindred). Of course, the enemy wasn't too good for allowing him to do so but it was understandable at our skill levels.
he didn't always gank my lane (top), but when he did, a kill always resulted. i think this is a skill for identifying vulnerable lanes, as it's pointless to sit in bot bush for a whole minute when the lane is no in a favourable situation for a gank. through playing the map, even the bot lane never fell behind despite being 1v2. his mechanics and gold lead meant being able to 1v3, and his macro play also meant we, the team, weren't exactly behind despite being 1 man down.
if you're really good, you won't stay in low elo because you can carry yourself out like this. that said, this only works if your individual skills far outclasses that of the enemies. if you were just being slightly more individually skilled, you won't singlehandedly carry any game like this guy did.
