If someone sacrificing themselves by running back into the enemy team to save you.

Please run.

Nothing more pisses me off when I sacrifice my life as Shen, and taunt 4 of their members so my team can get away. Only for my team to go right back in and get aced.

Just because I want a beautifully-animated heroic self-sacrifice scene where our eyes meet momentarily and I whisper "you have to survive" to play before I Leona E into their entire team does not mean you can go all shonen-protag and pull out an 11th hour power and 2v5 them to somehow save my life.

Just leave.

no, we're not. some of us actually do normal things like not watching cartoons all day.

grow up.

Some of us don't feel a need to insult others based on what they watch.

Maybe you should grow up.

That's why I like playing Anivia mid while my brother plays Janna sup. I love to see the enemy team wade through all kinds of horrific weather while we fly away!~

My brothers are dicks... Ones a mid/top/adc main and the other jungles mainly. They both turn into the most toxic people you've ever known when they die once. why can't one of them ever be then ice support main? This is why I mainly play adc/support, cause neither of them ever want to play the teamwork lane

Quort1 votes

My brother and I both main support and mid. We're complete garbage at ADC. We both like to jungle as certain Champions... But we generally leave the jungling to other people. But... We do play a mean Teemo top! >:3

Playing teemo top is mean in and of its self.

Not all support mains are nice people. In fact some of the most toxic things i have ever heard in this game were from supports or support mains.

Dairdrek1 votes

I know that, no role is immune to toxicity. I've been flamed by every role before, I think most everyone has

It's even better when they blame you for them losing the fight.

The problem is there are people that get that 4 man taunt as a counter-engage, then get pissed off when the team doesn't follow up. Without a voice com, it's hard to tell what the guy is intending when he makes this play.

Once I was playing with a Karma and she ran back into the enemy team. We all thought she heroically sacrificed herself by taking the enemy team's aggression and shielding us from Jhin's ultimate with her own life. We were wrong, she wanted us to turn on them (and we probably could have)... Oh well, you're still a hero to me Karma! C:

Sometimes its difficult to tell whether its a sacrifice or if they genuinely think we can turn and win the fight. Not every situation is so clear as an anime. There's no 6 hour dramatic dialogue with music behind it telling me this is your final hour and there's no saving you.

I think the problem lies in one of two things:

  1. people have trained themselves to think that "if someone goes in (like shen taunting 4 enemies), it's so we can kill them" and are completely unaware that you were sacrificing yourself. Sadly the only way I can think of to fix this is if you can talk directly to your teammates via voice chat, and even that might not be fast enough to get them to run to safety. or
  2. Everyone has that martyr mentality, thinking "I must save my teammate, even at the cost of my own life". While admirable and a sign of caring for your teammates, it's not very helpful when EVERYONE has that same martyr mentality and you wind up aced cause no one wanted to leave a man behind.

Either way, it's difficult to get "I'm saving you guys, do not assist me" across in a game like LoL, especially when you are not directly talking to everyone on your team. When it comes down to it, I feel like it's the team that thinks the most alike that tends to win, since that team knows when someone is sacrificing himself or initiating and looking for a follow up from everyone else.

And then there's that one guy who gets mad at you that you don't go back in with him...

Probably my biggest pet peeve's is when people waste an opportunity i gave them as shaco. Like i place a box infront of the enemy so they'd get cc'd giving you time to run, WHY are you turning back and attacking them when you're at 10% health? some people lack common sense

My team decided to chase a low hp enemy into their jungle... with no wards

I kept pinging them to back off, they didn't listen.

Soooo.... I ran all the way from my base to and saved them...

But the time I got over there, only Miss Fortune left. I ulted with my Amuamu, gave my ADC time to get out.

Instead she decided to stay and fight...

Disaster happened, and she said I should fight...

Glad I didn't because I saw 2 more enemies coming out their jungle after that.

I don't know what to do :^)

Its even better when you save somebody and then they're like :"Oh, well, you coulda prevented tha-" "Shut yo ass up you're lucky i even saved your bitch ass to begin with"

Ugg... I mean honestly. It should be clear you can't all make it out alive. You're against odds you can't beat. They should know it's not some strange engage that results in an instant penta.

Yet they don't. Every single time.

idk. ping danger first so they don't think they're following up.

It's like, instead of cutting losses, people have this delusion if they go back in to join, it'll somehow make things better. And then when they all die with you, it's like "Well, hey, at least I tried to save you." Hey, that person, guess who tried to save the rest of you? [slayer-jinx-unamused]
