THIS GAME IS NOT ABOUT YOU!

"OMG help me fkin jungler!" "tp?" "lol u just watch me dead" "i told u this **** never gang" "now XY got another kill" "ty for feeding my lane" "lol u so bad" "bot is already lost gg" "just ff at 20" "WTF how we lose?!"

I'm tired. At this point there's nothing I could do for this... community. I gave up. In this game... nope even in reality nobody cares about others. There's only one thing that matters - and it's called ME...

ME. ME. MEMEMMEMEE....

I LOST A GAME. I WON ANOTHER ONE! I DID IT! Nothing else exists in MY world... only ME. I wiped them out! I got destroyed by MY lane opponents - this game is over for ME. Our jungler never attempted to gank MY lane. I must show him how useful he can be... without ME. I got ganked 4 times in a row? MY team has failed to keep them off of ME! I'm done. Time to surrender and look for a new game. I won't play this through... these ****heads are just wasting MY time.

So...? When? When did human ego become top priority? When did common sense extinct? When did WE change to I? When did we lose our will? WHEN? ...What if I tell you that nobody cares about your lane? ...win or lose doesn't matter? What if I tell you, you're just an average player... ONE out of the MANY? Is it that hard to believe? Accepting the truth you aren't special "anymore"? What are you then? - you could ask me. Believe it or not, just a random dude... only 1 - surrounded by 4 others. You aren't your team.. you are just part of it. It's not your job to carry... in fact nobody cares what you're doing or capable of. Your KDA is only a number. If you'll ever realise this "YOU" and "I" will cease to exist. But a more important thing: "WE" will be born.

To be honest, its a teamplay game. And its ok to hope that your team understand that.

Nothing can't be worse than jungler who AFK farming (its supportive role, why did you pick it if you didnt have plan to support team). Nothing can't be worse than midlaner who understands that his enemy is roam, and he's totally ignoring that fact AFK farming his lane. Push minions and follow your enemy! And ping mia like crazy! ETC

Then why is there no ''Team'' in ''Me''?

Checkmate, atheists.

Here is example from my last game. Enemy jungler Kha was ganking around map nonstop. Our Lee made his first gank on 10th minute. But if we follow you logic, that means it's my team's mistake. It's nice that he didn't say "Noob lost their lanes again gg", nope, he just left game after first unsuccesful gank. But some junlgers can say that. Even if they're playing Lee or Eve - two junglers that all about first 10 minutes in game.

When I see people who speaks like you, all want is just to move all of you in game vs bots, where you do whatever you want, because bots dont care. But if you're in team, you're responsible for it, responsible for win too. If someone dying while his enemy has 1 hp, it means jungler failed - he could be there in time and get kill and assist for his teammate and himself. Lost opportunities is a gameplay mistake like failed flash, or slow reaction, or bad cs. You must use everthing to win, do impossible things. Some lategame monster champions can have bad early game, and jungler must help em, let em grow can carry team in late game. Jungler who blaming laner for fails probably has no idea about powerspikes and power curves, he missing large part of game and tactics.

Jungler is all about moving and routes, about plans where he'll be in next 30 sec, in next minute, in next 2 minutes, will be drake soon etc. And when jungler saying: "you lost your lane", that means this jungler is bad. He can't play his moves and he'd better to shut up and at least secure objectives if he can't gank in time.

However it's in humans nature to blame someone in their mistakes. But if you're skilled you can ignore their words and tell them "do not push and I'll come", "pls enemy is pushing me hard I can't follow him or roam, I need jungler to help me". If you're jungler you can just come, show yourself - it's enough to make enemy more careful and passive, and this will calm your mates, they will understand that you're near and can help em. Be smart, be better then other people and you will carry you team alone. But pls be a team player.

Indeed ... it's only about do you get retarded teammates or not.

I think you all keep forgetting that they call this a team game but judge and rank/rate you on YOUR performance. How do you NOT expect people to act this way, when they are setup from the start as such? Gnar

I honestly never give up in laning. The only times I'm really upset at my teammates is when our bot lane goes 1/22/1 and our ADC goes 0/10/0 with worse CS than our jungler. I enjoy playing top lane because I'm the tank, my enemy's the tank, and neither of us really want jungle pressure or to kill each other. So we just sit there and scale and farm until we feel like we need to head down. Even when I feed (this happens every time I play with my Plat friend), the enemy is not building damage most of the time, so we just have to deal with one idiot standing there autoing as we walk past them into their back line. Hell, an enemy can die once in the entire game, but lose every teamfight because they just tank everything and nobody cares enough to chase and kill them.

I think, in fact, that this game is not about "I" enough. You'd go godlike, but if both your bot and top are destroyed and your jungler sees that and goes afk, you can't do anything. You may be better than any single person on the entire team, but you can't get the victory you deserve. Therefore, people feel that the game is about "team" enough without them doing anything. And you know what? They're kind of right.

I agree so much.

I hate when someone is having a super bad game, like we all have because we're human, and another teammate decides picking on them or bullying them into something is the correct action to take. I've had that happen once or twice before, and boy it really takes a lot out of you. I look these people up after, and they've literally been in the same situation as the person they were belittling. It's a terrible symptom of this community.

When someone is getting camped or ganked often causing them to die, then I don't think the correct thing to do is tell them how terrible they are and that you have to carry them now. The right thing to do is to go over there and pressure their opponent when you have the time, which clearly you do since you're typing so much in the chat. Same for people who are getting ganked/camped. It's better to fall back, wait for support, and if you can't farm under the tower safely, lose it and trust in your teammates to have your back. Your individual performance will not always be great, and it's not what matters. What matters is what you contribute to the team, and how well your team does. That should be your top priority.

People stress KD so much, instead of assisting other teammates, and trying to best support their teammates. It's all about how awesome can you make my KD look so you can blame a loss on your teammates, or say you carried them. I've had many games where a person with a high KD has thrown games because of their terrible team fight engages, and not respecting or relying on teammates like you're supposed to do. The sad part is these attitudes are more often than not validated.

I don't ever see people speak up in games, or on the enemy team when they see this behavior. In fact sometimes they join in which is even more disgusting. I've actually seen these players go on to have bad games, and have the same thing thrown back at them, then act like a big ol' victim. I don't know how you stop that toxic me culture that exists in so many games in bronze, silver, and gold. I don't think Riot is doing anything about it either.
