Why "carrying" is a flawed logic.

Hallbuster··2 votes·629 views

As I was painting my fence red this morning. I came to a realization that carrying does not necessarily reflect player skill any more than luck, or the feeders on each side of a team. Take, for example, a game I had today. While I hate to boast, I'll have to tell you: I ended up going 21/1/6. Then look at my second game, I went 5/9/5 while an enemy renekton went 18/1/8.

Why the huge discrepancy? I'll tell you, "Carrying is about who feeds first." That's all carrying is, counting on some player to give you your kill and snowball your lead.

Now we can tie why carrying is flawed. It's simple, the team that "feeds first" is the team that will lose. In short, feeders have a bigger impact than players who "carry harder." Once they're more fed than the rest of the team, no amount of skill can balance out the equation. You can stop a snowball, you can't stop an avalanche.

After watching a smurf in my plat 4 game carry as fiora and help us win in 17 minutes, I know that carrying is totally logical. Carrying a team doesn't just mean a lot of kill with an amazing kda, it means you know exactly what to do to snowball your advantage to take objectives to win the game. Remember that to win you have to kill their nexus, not go 100/0/100 but get zero objectives all game.

Objectives and bronzies does not compute. Did you notice him not talk about objectives and ONLY kills in this post? Bronzies are fucking hilarious

I completely agree. I'm glad someone is willing to admit the truth on here. The game is flawed, because our success as players is tied to our teams. On top of team rewards, they should introduce individual rewards, and not just a new badge to flash at people.

Just because you don't have consistency as a low elo player doesn't mean carrying doesn't exist or is flawed.

Carrying is about who feeds first, in bronze V.

Just about anywhere else, it is about not feeding long enough to farm and reach a power spike or help your team collectively win.

It does not matter who "carries" as long as you help someone do it.

Carrying is easy tho... but then again you live in the land of the bronze where magic happens

You know what's funny about your comment? You're in Silver, which is just the expansion of Bronze.

You mean my last game? Yeah, I got queued with a team of silver players, still dominated the game though, even though I'm still bronze 3 :P.

I could get silver if I wanted, but norms are more fun.

That comment wasn't for you. It was for ShinkoMinori. You know its not possible to get what we want in League. The Riot gods dictate who moves forward and who doesn't :)

No no no. Carrying is about making the right decisions, having the correct map movements, capitalizing on the correct vision, etc. Carrying is not about getting fed and having a bunch of kills. You can carry without being fed, as long as you play correctly.

Instead of complaining about the game, you should probably just get better, cause you're bronze, and you're clearly not good at the game.

And you're clearly arrogant and rude.
