When every lane is doing badly, and the jungler manages to get 24 kills and carry all his teammates to victory, I just don't think it's right? This is supposed to be a team game, isn't it? But it just comes down to who has that ONE guy on their team and it's frustrating
I love how there are post on here about people complaining about it not matter how fed they get because other lanes fed and the other fed person carried hard then them and they unironically don't see how hypocritical that is.
Ever play Heroes of the Storm?
XP is shared across the team in HOTS, and you dont buy items, so there is no solo carry there. Instead, you do great and your horrible teammates drag you to a loss. No matter how well you do, your worst teammates will make sure you dont win.
So.. in LoL..the ability to solo carry means that a good player can salvage a bad situation and pull out a win. While in HoTS..it doesnt matter.. bad teams lose.
I would say "pick your poison".. but HoTS is dead. Because Blizzard decided mobile games are the future.
I disagree.
If you are good enough to 1v9 then you should be able to.

If a team is ahead by 24 kills, that team probably deserves to win.
In dota, solo carries are a thing, but they generally have bad early games to compensate for this. Or they have hard counters or counter items.
Riot is often hypocritical with champion releases. They think that the only way to promote agency is for champions to be released with tons of "fighting game mechanics" or mobility.
It is. But being able to solo lose the game is just as bad.
Solo Carrys are not bad. It was common stuff back in earlier season and felt completly fine.
Especially Season 5 which (IMO) easily was the best season League has ever seen the who got fed has enourmous power and responsibility for his team. However I remember a ton of situation where both teams had such carrys.
Being able to snowball into a nearly unstoppable force is fine and rewards skillfull players.
However with CHampion Kits getting more and more ridiculous, being forgiving and save as hell while dealing enourmous DMG rendering them almost impossible to focus and impossible to screw up with once they get a tiny lead things are getting out of hand...
Additionally the impact JGLs... the good and the bad ones... have on games is beyond sanity. Vision is so gutted it hurts! And some JGLs dont give a DAMN about vision! Ever tryed warding of Kayne????
And with DMG being as overkill as it is right now and wasted gank with a little trade in it can easily eat 60% of your HP now... Not the like JGL would care - smite, fruit and crab whoops back to full health I guess!!!
it's all nice and dandy to talk about this being a team game, but if you're team is unserviceable and you can't do anything about it then the game is piss poor. you know it already.
Almost always the jungler too. All that free time farming gold and camps and sniping 50 HP champs by the bush is just so difficult!
In a game years back I was a Warwick jungle (pre-rework) and I noticed our mid Akali not doing too well. Teammates told me to not bother with the lane, but I noticed she was good but just pressured way too much. So, I ganked the lane and within five minutes Akali was carrying the team and ended up winning the game. Most junglers take for themselves, if I have to take that hideous role I always give the kills to people who need it.
Remember folks, if that one carry at 25/2 dies and the rest of you are underleveled its usually game over after 30-35 minutes. Get as many people fed as possible, that's what the jungler role was designed for before it got hijacked by glory hounds.
I agree, it is 100% bad for the game and I'll tell you why. This isn't a solo game, it's a team game. And the fact that "balance team" at rito does such a piss poor job that they have champions that can solo carry against a team speaks to the fact that there isn't a competent member among them.
