Leave your Jungler alone, worry about your lane.

I Jungled my first game of 6.9. Trying to learn Udyr and for the sake of objectives I chose him and built Bloodrazer. Announced to my team in champ select that I was going to try and push early objectives, drake, herald, etc. Everything seemed fine, I was clearing jungle, my second pass before I even backed and the mid laner was going off about getting Herald. I don't know if people don't know about the herald. But he is a mean mofo after that buff. Takes way longer to kill with two people (one item) let alone you expecting me to solo it. What I'm getting at is this.. YES new jungle stats are important, NO you shouldn't hassle me every second about them. Just because they are more important doesn't mean you can start taking them the second they are up without backing for health or items. So leave the damn Jungler alone. If they Aren't pushing for objectives, you just have a bad jungle, if they are, then they know when is best to attempt something.

Lost a game from 5 man in one lane at 12 minutes. Soon as everyone hits 6 if you just group and ignore your lane it will end the game due to the rate turrets fall and the global gold rate. You can then just teleport back into your lane and push out the minion waves. The game is so broken right now; That individual skill hardly matters, and whichever team has better horde mentality will end it.

I took every buff, but the enemy did this. So does what an individual player does matter? No, its what the whole team does.

What was your teamcomp? What was theirs? Did they poke you? Did they have mountain dragon or two? Did your team group up? What was your ward coverage? Have you tried baiting them? Were they ahead in kills or in FARM??

We couldn't group up cause we were dying individually trying to stop them. It was already over. This is silver / gold, so what I say hardly matter for team composition and champions.

My point is. Arguing with your teamates is auto loss. You cannot control what they do. Whichever team works together wins together. I solo ranked que, and its frustrating. The game just isn't in favor of players like myself, and 15/20 games you'll have someone who will argue with a suggestion and become toxic instead of taking it at face value and continue to play.

I often ping dragon, or objectives a minute ahead of time; I'll point out we could've had that if you came, and ext. I make mistakes, people point it out and I just laugh it off. Whats done is done. What happens happens. If I do it again, point it out again. Maybe I'll learn, or maybe I'll be one of those toxic players... The point is arguing gets you nowhere, these are your teammates. They're going to do what they're going to do. Working together is better then fighting one another. Horde mentality wins over individual skill.

I get your point. This is a team game after all, so teamwork should be rewarded but there is a huge problem with people overall, not only in League tbh

Yeah. I'm a veteran. I was never aware teamwork and shared interest could be so damn difficult until I played this game. I think there's just a certain degree of insanity involved, and its being perpetuated by the mechanics and policies implemented to deal with bad behavior.

I may not be ranked myself but I do have some friends from silver to diamond, and while id love to agree with "horde mentality" your team is only as strong as its weakest player, because at some point either through death timers or sheer luck your going to have that "weak" player as the only thing standing between you and losing the match. sure grouping helps but grouping simply because "I'm lv6 time to group" is not a good reason, you decide as a team or individual player when grouping is a good strategy or not, and no arguing doesn't help but I wouldn't ask my teammates to 1v5 the enemy team and ill sure defend myself if they argue that I should have jumped into a CC heavy 1v5 with me as the 1

I wouldn't ask my teamates to do that either, and if they didn't want to do the lv6 thing I wouldn't expect them to, but when plans do come together. It's rewarding. I don't mind the weakest links causing me to lose, cause I know they tried. It's when players give up or treat me like I've that I get pissed off. The horde wants to win, horde mentality is a shared goal and that wins games.
