How Many Times Do You Blame Yourself?

Meep Man··1 votes·435 views

Many times, I look on these forums and notice a lot of one thing. Blame and complaints. Complaints about tons of aspects of the game, ranging from Zed, to Dynamic Queue, to the Mage Update, to tons of other things. However, I never see anyone ever bring up how they could improve. I never see someone say, "Oh man, I didn't win that game. My bad, it was my fault. I could have done X to kill Y, or planned Z to do X. Never! No one ever asks themselves what they could have done. Everyone blames the game for their loss. This is the main reason this season is less enjoyable for many people and it is their own fault. There are so many new things to blame for your loss that you are killing the fun for yourself! We have new Masteries, tons of Class Updates, and tons of changes to the meta this Season. Through all of it, no one EVER looks at their own mistakes. This is likely the reason why so many people can't climb. They rely on the game to climb for them. You don't play football or soccer and expect the rest of your team to do all the work for you. You never look at the ball and think "I blame the ball! It didn't have just the right amount of air in it!" You adapt! You change the way you play! You get better at the game through learning and finding out what you could improve on, not complaining about the game.

TL;DR The reason many of you think this Season is worse is because many of you have too many things to blame this Season. Too many of you don't blame yourself for what happens to you.

Once in a while I tend to go "my bad". Usualy 60% of the times. other times I just go "Alright".

I basically always blame myself... When I tilt, it's either because I am playing really poorly (bad habit to tilt off that) or whenever I see Fizz Fiora LeeSin Leblanc I just hate these 4 so much :l

People think this season is worse because it is, for so many reasons.

Just because there's a lot of people using DQ, or 6.9, or whatever, as an excuse for losing, doesn't mean there aren't legitimate and severe issues.

Sure, there are, but many act like DQ is the entire reason why they are losing their matches. Same with updates and such. Sure, there are issues, but when is there not? People act like once Solo Queue comes back, their win rate will sky rocket when in reality, it's likely to stay the same.

Sure, Solo Queue should come, but in the mean time, Dynamic Queue, besides boosting, isn't causing that Zed that is Middle Lane to win the match.

If I don't blame myself for my mistakes, then I learn nothing.

No, but its more a question of what stands out in a person's mind.

DQ is discouraging and frustrating, and the barrier to climbing is very real if you are considering the will/desire to play, or ability to slug it out and tolerate such consistently unbalanced match ups.

You won't notice it as much when it's someone else being 4 manned under turret 5 minutes into game, while your team is just derping off
