So I'm confused

I keep hearing "you cant rely on just yourself, its a team game" but then when i point out our adc did less damage then our support "you cant blame your team, its your fault you didn't win, you shouldn't rely on your team", SO WHAT THE FUCK IS IT, this game has become such a shitshow that people don't even understand what their preaching anymore, 4-5 years ago, i loved this game, I enjoyed playing the hell out of it, but now....i don't know, i try to play, but this game is actually making me physically ill to try to deal with all these stupid mechanics now

  • item 2420 riot............this was legit one of the worst things you ever did for the game, now the entire fucking meta revolves around this stupid ass item -Ashe Draven Caitlyn EzrealJinx Lucian Xayah Varus Vayne Tristana Twitch MissFortune I cant comprehend whos ingenious idea was it to give these champs so much damage, THEY HAVE RANGE FOR A FUCKING REASON, MAKE THEM USE IT -item 3076 item 3075 item 3047 these are just annoying as they only fuck up fighters, but yet somehow do nothing to stop the adcs -Katarina this champ.....why is she allowed to stay in this state....i thought you wanted assassins to have more counterplay...but the ability to assassinate the whole team in the blink of an eye, while somehow also being incredibly tanky? -Teemo Fiddlesticks Illaoi Blitzcrank (theres more, cant remember them rn) These fucking anti-fun champs completely ruin regular games to the point where I just wanna go throw up -item 3105 Why were auras removed? they gave people the ability to better assist their team when facing a specific threat -Towers are fucking useless, with some champs level 2 tower diving (or this fucker Pantheon level 1 tower diving) on top of the fact they fall too fast late game.....personally i feel their health and armor should scale with game duration, with it increasing every 5 minutes by 20% -Forcing more and more champs to have stupid ass mini-games -item 3026 item 3812 item 3046 .....I.....I don"t have words to describe these.....they....these items piss me off so much....I hear so many people complaining about tanks doing damage....but why are adc's becoming off-tanks, that's what i want to fucking know, item 3156 is a little more essential due to mages having item 3157 ...but....these 3 items, should have never fucking existed in this state -The RGN from the dragons....its fucking bullshit, first 2 dragons, all cloud, then once we're losing and trying to defend until we regain out bearings because our adc keeps getting caught, BOOM 2 FUCKING INFERNALS -The plants.....you know what, the honeyfruit and vision cone arent actually too bad i will give the riot balance team that, but i despise the fucking blast cone with a passion, its frustrating asf to play against

And now for the final problem with the game, the final fucking problem with this game, is, the game had over 100 million monthly players, but yet you still choose to balance around the 40-60 people in LCS (don't know, don't care for the actual number), this is the WORST POSSIBLE CHOICE BY ANY FUCKING DEVELOPER, like who the fuck balances around the few, rather then the many?? Yes I turned this into a rant, because I can't...I just can't play this game anymore, it makes me physically ill with the amount of stress it puts onto me that I have no control over, Video games were created for entertainment....but I can't see myself being entertained by this game anymore, the stress from this game has already put me into the hospital once, and after my most recent ranked games, I cant play this anymore, not until something is done, otherwise I will end up in the hospital again, possibly worse, I WANT to love this game again so badly...when i lose a lane, feel like its because my own bad plays, not because I didn't have a stopwatch to stop skarner from ulting me....but in its current state....I can't bring myself to play this anymore....

Alright, let's take a look at the intent behind the statements that are confusing you.

"you cant rely on just yourself, its a team game"

Comments like this are often used when talking about the strategy of League. To be successful you have to play around your allies and either move with them or mirror their movements elsewhere on the map.

"you cant blame your team, its your fault you didn't win, you shouldn't rely on your team"

The blame game is an inherently destructive thing, and should never be played. While it's not always your fault you didn't win, treating it as such forces you to look at what actions you did during a game. Focusing on yourself allows you to better critique your own actions, and improve as a player.

That said, the statements of "you cant rely on just yourself" and "you shouldn't rely on your team" are not mutually exclusive.

Not relying only on yourself means you should actively look to your allies as methods of victory. You can't solo carry every game, but you can identify an ally who is able to carry and assist them as needed. Knowing what to look for when identifying carry potential, even when your team is falling behind, is a very important skill that can win you games that otherwise would be losses.

Not relying on your team is mostly about getting carried, and most often targets support players. It's all well and fine when you win the game, but if you're putting all your eggs in other people's baskets you have no say in whether your team wins or loses. You need to find a way to make yourself a useful part of your team, even when you are behind or in a low agency position.

Hopefully this all makes sense, it's almost 4am here but I felt the need to respond. Can't really go over the rest of it, you covered a lot of points there, but if there's something specific you want my opinion on just point it out.
