When it rains, it pours
It's hard for me to catch a break on some days, like the title says. Not a single thing is going right.
1: Don't even get out of champion select, and you already know it's going to be a rough game. But this is soloQueue right, YoloQueue? Just pick your favourite champion, with no strategic counter or game plan in mind. Meh, AP top, AP mid, AP jungle, AP support, and an ADC. That should suffice. 2: Get begged to assist an ally in their lane. Gank their lane, but they're too busy free farming to take advantage of my valuable time. 3: Get counter-jungled, because my "valuable" time, that I invested elsewhere, where it lost it's effectiveness because of said individuals prioritizing their "valuable" farm. 4: Get mid pushed in, go to defend it, Mid sees that his lane is being pushed, and goes bot to farm. Bot sees that Mid is farming bot, and goes to Jungle to farm. 5: Naturally, I die because there isn't a damn thing I can do against 3 guys tower diving me. I respawn, and wonder where in the world my jungle farm ran off to. Kind of just walk around aimlessly waiting for some minions to respawn, so that I can actually move forward in my progression. 6: See that my APC or ADC is taking fire, go to defend them, and the enemy switches targets to me, opposed to the carry. Why is that? Is the carry too far out of position to gank successfully? No, they just aren't showing any physical interest in coming to my aid, even though I come to their aid. (From an enemies perspective, they notice that you aren't interested in aiding your ally, so they go ham, and take an uncontested kill) 7: Now that i'm far enough behind, it's my turn to beg my allies to come to my aid. They group up to perceive that they're actually going to do something, wait for me to initiate, back up, wait until I die, and then engage. 8: Get counter jungled again, because of above said priorities. Have other allies calling shots such as Dragon, when i'm still reviving in base, team fight breaks out at dragon, I come to my allies assistance, get a 5-man CC on the enemy team, and have my teammates retreating - yet again. 9: (I know right, i'm just fine and dandy at this time point in time, not a frustration in the world.) I go back to farming (the remainder of the jungle, because at this point in time, everybody believes it's their God given right to take my buffs, and the remainder of the jungle minions) 10: So now, I kind of run around with a burning passion to actually complete some of my items before we can't come back anymore (generally though, by the 3rd, 4th, or 5th time my team abandons me, it's USUALLY a good indication the game is over) My team repeats the process over again, and begs for my assistance.
No. I gave you a chance, in fact I gave you ample opportunities to participate as a team. Until I see the enemy team knocking on our doorstep and pushing an inhibitor down, you're on your own. Teamwork is not a one-way street. When you get this mentality that you're so far above your allies, that you don't need to engage in combat with them, when they are putting their lives on the line to protect you, you have some serious issues. And going out of your way to try to intentionally put your comrades on tilt, just so you can make an attempt to report them? I mean, I honestly hope you never get an honorable opponent banner. And I hope to God that Riot implements Visual Review when they set the Tribunal back up again, so that you legitimately get punished for acting like such douche bags.
And you know how many times, it's got to the point where there's next to no chance to come back, because nobody any longer wants to engage in combat, and my allies have requested reports against me? For what? Refusing to participate? Give me a break. I go above and beyond what is expected of me, and you throw me under the bus.
If you want your initiator to always be there for you, make it appealing for them to do so. You don't know how many times i've ganked a lane, and my allies were three quarters of an inch away from me, yet they didn't feel as though it was in their best interest to give me a helping hand. (I know right, i'm still fine and dandy, believe me, this isn't even the Prologue)
I mean go ahead, downvote me, because Lord knows this doesn't happen to a single other person except for myself. I'm apparently the only person who ever deals with this on an on-going basis, and the only person who has ever dealt with it.
Sincerely,
The guy you're clearly trying to intentionally put on tilt, because you don't care about the outcome of the match, because the only thing that generally satisfies you, is knowing that someone who is trying to become a professional gamer, won't make it - because you will reign on their parade when they're carrying the weight of you, and the next two guys to win this match.
