Riot, can we stop the "blame game"?

EDIT: Fk im sorry guys, I got corrected in the comments. Turns out that there was some dudes, that did some science shit and decided that you dont control anything. Nope, youre emotions are completely in the hands of your 12 year old junlger insulting your mom. Yup. its all luck. Them diamond players are pre-chosen by riot to be diamond. They aint no better than us bronzies.

Faker aint good cuz he practiced and worked on his game. Nope, he just got lucky. NEVER had a bad game.

fuck and here I thought I could practice and get better at league. GDI.

(Warning, this is long and rambling. flame away!)

I, and a lot of other summoners are all getting rather tired of this sub-culture you have created.

what am I talking about?

This whole "Toxic players make you play bad" idea. It simply isn't true! Please try to understand me. You may think "we never said that!"

You really did.

Let me explain. When you put up hints like "Being toxic to your team causes you to lose x% more often" and "toxic players lose x% more games" You are sending the message that the reason they lose, is because someone else is being mean, because somehow somehow your level of skill is dependent on another persons choices. Some how they are controlling your emotions, and actions.

Bullshit. Thats what we call an excuse. And a bad on at that.

lets break this down a bit. This is a team game. Requires a team effort. Even the best players in league of legends, can not win a 1 v 5. Sure its happened, but not often.

Everyone has something they can do better. CSing, Item builds, objective control, positioning, whatever. EVERYONE can play better.

You do not control the actions of other people. OR their Reactions.

Even the most positive, caring individual will lose games.

By continuing to point out the toxicity of other players, you are shifting the blame of your actions and reactions on them. This does nothing to improve the game.

There toxic players at all skill levels.

So what can we do instead? Focus on what YOU can do to play better. Everyone has bad games. You can't control how your bot lane is going to do, but you can control how you are going to do.

Riot Please, lets keep focusing on rewarding, rather than punishing. There needs to be both, but enough is enough! How can I judge? look at my record! I recognize suck because i'm the master of it! I live it! I'm not losing games because my team was toxic, who cares! I lose games because I have 100 CS at 20 minutes on ahri. I lose games because I have no idea what to do when. Should I roam? should I pressure the tower? when do i all in?

The grading system after games is a good start. I got an A+ for one of my games, I had 130ish CS at 40 minutes. Thats not an A+. that D-. I won because of luck. Nothing to do with who was toxic and who wasnt.

There needs to be an accurate break down of player performance. Something a person can look at and say "That is why i won/lost...that is what I need to work on next game"

why not put something like "Tip: 13 CS is equal to 1 kill" or "Tip: taking a tower is worth 1000 gold to your team!"

Not this idea that you did 22% worse because top lane made fun of your mom.

You are the Master of yourself. No one else. Pick something to work on, and work on it. Gradually improve your own game play. Stop blaming.

Jungler didn't gank? You dont need him. top is raging? Ignore him. ADC threatens to afk? Bye, More CS for you.

Let shift the responsibility of a players skill back to the player, and off their team mates.

EDIT: If you actually believe that your performance is dependent on someone else, you are going to have a bad time in life. Good luck keeping a job when you tell your boss that the reason you suck, is because someone said your mom is fat.

The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. MAKE things happen, Choose to do something, instead of making excuses.
