Lost this game to backdooring.

I was jinx. I put in a ton of work this game to lose because of backdooring. In other mobas backdooring is a reportable offense. why is this toxic game play encouraged in LoL? there is no skill involved, you literally wait until the team is preoccupied then go backdoor. I was the only person on my team that could take towers so I couldnt stay to stop the backdoor, the rest of my team was FAR too weak to fend off anyone that was backdooring. I should have won this game. I deserved to win this game, but I lost because of this no-skill, stupid, toxic strategy.

OH and to top it all off, after the game was over, the enemy team was EXTREMELY toxic towards me, and me alone. Absolutely 0 words were said during the game, but they decide to take all their frustration out on me afterward even though they won the game.

in other MOBAs backdooring is specifically prohibited by game mechanics. DOTA literally has an anti-backdoor mechanism. The one in LOL is weak, thus it means that backdooring is officially endorsed and encouraged by Riot.

be that as it may...do you honestly think the enemy team deserved to win? i outplayed everyone for 45 mins to lose because of a 2 minute back door...i dont think that's right

I just lost a game to Shaco backdoor so, I can't say I like it, but... it is what it is.

it's stupid is what it is. the game is in such a piss poor state right now that I was the only person on my team that could do anything to their split pushes. my team would LITERALLY die 4v1 against their fizz or riven.

It's stupid but there's not much you can do. It is the nature of the game.

i've lost 4 games in a row now because my team mates are bad. i'm so sick of this meta. it needs to shift back to rewarding players who excel. now you can excel and it wont even matter if the rest of your team is bad.

What do you expect, it's a team game. You play as a team.

And even if you where trying to solo Carry a game, you wouldn't do that as the ADC. Your too vulnerable, and you would never be able to handle the opponents 1v5. If you wanted to carry, you would play the Duelist, split push style that you just lost too.

In fact, That back dooring champ actually proved that solo skill is important, as he single handedly broke though your defense and destroyed the nexus.

"broke through the defenses"? you mean tp to our base and auto attacked the nexus? yea takes LOTS of skill. and the fact that you believe i should be forced to play a certain role to carry is just testament to how poorly balanced the game is right now

Again, what do you expect. And the fact that your opponent could even reach your base via TP. Means that you were not in control of the map, and that your base was already damaged.

As for a certain role, even if it wasn't for the fact that your a glass cannon. You were a duo laner, you would have been objectively behind most of the champs simply because your support was leaching half the xp.

Actually League not only endorses but encourages backdooring. They made the turrets weaker just to shorten the game length which translates in turrets being weak to backdooring.

how is backdooring toxic? The goal is kill the nexus at any cost. Its not really toxic if you don't have map awareness and you let the enemy team run through your base when you have an inhib down and kill the nexus. Why did you deserve to win the game? The enemy team had a gold advantage pretty much the entire game.

Furthermore, what exactly constitutes backdooring? If you are out of position and I take your tower is that backdooring? Is that toxic? Obviously not. But if I do the exact same thing to your nexus now suddenly its a bad thing? So why is there a different standard when it comes to the nexus? You were out of position, plain and simple, and the enemy team realized that and punished you for it. Its no different than punishing someone for being out of position by killing them or taking their tower.

That said, the enemy team shouldn't BM you after a close game. I would have given you an honorable opponent for hard carrying your team like you did.

There's never a deserved win, unless there is a connection issue on Riot's part. You lost because you weren't careful about back dooring. You lost because the enemy outplayed your team and took inhibs and nexus turrets. There is a careful, multi-step process to allow yourself to lose to a BD. If all are complete, yeah, you need to sit back and wait for an inhib to respawn.

It's a legit strategy. Not toxic, not no skill. It requires the enemy team to suck dick at warding and reading. Doesn't matter if you could 1v5 the enemy team while you're soloing baron and 1/4 health, you don't ever deserve a win. The game is decided at a completed surrender vote or the nexus exploding. Until that happens, there is no entitlement to a win.

sorry, i didn't get outplayed by anyone. i lost because im the only person on my team that does any damage. i lost because i cant be in 2 places at once. i lost because we had our top laner AND jungle in base to stop backdoor and they got 1v2d. the game was already 45 minutes long, my team would not survive another team fight. it was push or lose anyway.

Actually, judging by the game, you lost the game purely to objectives. Kills don't matter in League. They have a very mobile, split push oriented team while you have the superior team fight. By allowing them to get to inhibs, you guys drove the game into their field. It's silly to think you were flawless that game, that's never the case. You did better than the rest of course, but you did not deserve a win. That's for sure.
