You know what still bugs me? (Hint: Silver ELO)
I've been playing a lot of Garen Jungle. It works! With Predator, you just sprint up to your gankee, and they're pretty much gone! Got myself to S2 by hard carrying with him; 19/4, 14/2, 15/1, 26/0, etc. I was doing great! But every game in champ select, I get a bunch of "gg troll jg" before every match. So I wanted to set out and prove them all wrong by climbing my way out of that shit silver elo with him.
Next thing I know, I get a troll Yasuo x Trynd duo that collectively go 0/11 in the first 7 minutes of the game, because they saw the enemy Nasus and thought, "Hey, let's go a full AD team of auto-attack-based ad semi-carries. That's smart." Good thing I was in my promos, so I was literally not allowed to dodge. What a shame they made me lose it, anyways.
Ohhh, but that's just one game! Let's try again in the next one! Oh, my teammate stole Garen from me, and then he left the game half-way in. Great.
Well, let's try again in the next one! Happy faces, everyone! Oh, our Ahri disconnected, this time. Well, good thing the enemy mid-laner had nothing better to do than to follow me into my damn jungle all game long alongside their jungler! That's sure fair! I'm glad I didn't have a mid-laner that game!
Next game! Oh boy, no one disconnected! There's a chance! Oh. Talon just went 7/27. Oh, Talon's literally admitting to inting. He literally teleported into the enemy team, stood still, spammed his laugh, and died. Oh, he did it again. Fucking twenty-seven times. Ohhhhh, boy.
Next game! It can't be much worse than that! Oh. Our Nami just went 1/14. Oh, boy. She walked into the enemy 1v5 and died, multiple times. Oh, great. Amazing.
Okay, let's stay positive in the next game! OH. Our fucking Gnar went 2/11. He just kept feeding the Quinn. Good thing Quinn counters me, too! That's great! Thanks for inting, Gnar! Thanks! It means a lot!
Okay, let's try again. One last time! Oh, what's this? Our Miss Fortune went 2/8? Our mid laner was Tahm Kench? He went 2/6? Our support went Pantheon against a damn Fiddle willingly? He went 4/7? Our Cho'Gath afk'd in his lane as Camille and Kha'Zix camped my jungle all game? Ohhhh, that's great.
Okay, let's play some ADC instead. What's this? My support is autofilled? She's trolling as Lux? She's doing absolutely nothing and letting Jhin and Lulu freely harass me all game? No shields? Nothing? Oh, she left lane? I'm liteally 1v2 botlane? I'm not allowed to farm? I'm rendered useless? AMAZING!!!!
Oh, what's that? I just got demoted twice because I got inting trolls in my last 8 games?? Oh, that's incredible! I love it!!!!!!
Fuck that shit. How does Riot expect anyone to happily "not be toxic" when they allow actual inting trolls to run amok every single game? I could feel myself fucking shaking after 6 hours of sheer, unrelenting torment. Riot literally doesn't give a shit about trolls, unless they call someone the N-word. I have other friends in silver/gold that I play with in duo queue, and we're fucking astounded by how many trolls exist. Why can't people take an apprehension test before playing Ranked? Why is that so hard? Just make people answer a few questions. Multiple choice questions! "What do you do if your enemy laner is 1/0/0? A. Hug turret and farm safely B. Keep running out of turret to 1v1 him like a fucking retard"
Because I would LOVE for all the fucking retards that pick B in my ranked games to NOT PLAY RANKED.
