I realized today, a BIG thing to watch for in low elo (A lesson to play better)

A lot of people playing for fun, and you have to expect them to do the wrong things as they seek self-satisfaction (fun).

Lemme supplement this, with the experience that made me really, REALLY see it:

I got Kog in ARAM, after a teammate had thrown him in the bin (aram is the epitome of 'for fun', but it provided me with an incredibly clear, simple scenario) - I was doing insane damage, the enemy team were howling with desperation to get onto me, but my frontline and backline were great.

Until a certain point. I kill 2 enemies, and get 2 low. I'm shredding the enemy tower-

There are two ways this can go. The logical thing in my mind, was to just walk me along, as a payload, destroying their base, then killing the stragglers because my W and R ranges are stupid long and so are their death timers. The other way this can go, and so it does, is my team see kills, kills they want, and feel they deserve, and run after them. Meanwhile, I have not followed them. A Singed snowballs to my minions, onto me, and we lose. My team are just slightly too far away to peel me.

I should have expected my frontline to do that and followed them. Even if I can blame them, I could have actually won that game if I'd just STAYED with them, If I'd just understood their feelings in that moment and seen where they were running. I just wanted to share this lesson with others, because 'playing right' is so often emphasized, we don't consider that people will play wrong to make themselves happier, even if it happens literally ALL the time... and we need to adapt to that, because sometimes, just committing with them is all you need to do, instead of blaming them.
