We shouldnt blame ONE teammate for the loss of a game

But the game is often the result of the weakness/mistakes of ONE weaker teammate who gotten too heavy... that snowballed the whole game to outta control

So... are we in denial? or are we being pretentious?

It's called not accepting ones fault. It's easy to blame the 0/4 bot and say report jinx 0/4 vs the top who is 0/2 or both. Likewise it's also easier to blame the person with the worst KDA on the team than it is to blame everyone for doing their roles poorly.

The one I person I'd blame the most is the jungler. They have more control over the map than any one lane. The next would be mid laner because of roaming, then bot, then top because it seems like the only thing top laners do is split push. That's if I were to blame anyone at all, which I don't.

Problem being in a random soloQ- certain lanes cant affect the other lanes. It is usually the fault of ONE player- who failed in lane who just gotten too heavy.

The examples u showed (jungler/mid laner/bot) are the faults that started from ONE particular player too...

I just wanted to call bullshit on people thinking that games CANNOT go to shit because of ONE player. As long as people think that, steps will not be taken to rectify this, to make the game more team-based - instead of rapid snowball off of ONE single person's mistakes. It makes it unfun for everyone when games snowball out of control this way.

  • Don't deny it. Games like these do happen frequently.

unfortunately riot has made it so whole can snowball off of 1 weak player due to all the takedown shit in the runes

So apparently your ADC who goes 0/6 before 10 minutes is not at fault for allowing the enemy Support/adc to roam around to other lanes to snowball those lanes too? There is a point where you can be 8/2, but since you are not an ADC it does not matter as much. Fed ADC will beat a Fed top/JG depending on if you are an assassin or not. There is also a point where your team blows a majority of their ults/CD's on the extremely fed person and then remember, "Oh there other people in this game too".

lol, shouldn't blame one teammate for the loss??? lets completely ignore reality now shall we..

if one teammates cost me the game.. im going o blame one teammate if two teammates cost me the game im going to blame two teammates if 3-4 teammates cost6 me the game. im going to be pissed at riots matchmaking...

if its that one even 20-50 games where I'm the actual screw up on the team I feel worst of all. there is nothing worse in league than the feeling that YOU are the reason why 4 other players who deserved a win lost the game. (unless your one of those people with a black heart, who sometimes appear on my team every week or so)

Your teammate didn't go 0-6 in a vacuum. How did you adjust your play when you saw your teammate struggling at 0-1? How about at 0-2? 0-4?

If you didn't do anything to change the course and instead just watched it happen while playing 1v1 on your island, you're just as responsible.
