Afternoon Boards. Just a few clips from my last game I wish to share with you all.
Indeed, good evening to you all. I'd like to show you a few clips of a mid plat game I have just played, for no reason at all other than I feel like someone else needs to see them to reassure me that i'm not going crazy.

I actually dragged yasuo into the literal face of Zac. He then acknowledged yasuo for a few seconds before resuming his red buff. Now, there's a few things wrong with this. Why did I have to drag him to Zac? Surely he would have the awareness of seeing I was fighting Yasuo a few seconds away from him and join the fight. I guarantee if this was flipped, and I was the yasuo, that zac would jump on me within 2 seconds and I would be seeing a grey screen very very quickly.

This second clip is just how dumb yasuo's windwall is. What more could I (Teemo) have done to ensure the death of Yasuo? Why is he allowed to just go inside his windwall? Just update his windwall so that if he touches it, it disappears. I'm pretty sure this ability was designed to reward quick reactions to block projectiles coming from a specific direction, rather than creating a temporary shield that he can just walk through dependant on where the enemy is.

Next up we have a Thresh hook that missed and still latched itself onto me. Now, this shouldn't exist in a competitive game. In my opinion, when something like this happens where you can clearly see I dodged the hook and still got hit, the consistency and therefore merit of skill goes down the drain. Its not unreasonable to expect a multi-billion dollar company to fix these issues in a game that relies on its competitive nature which relies on consistency. Small indie company, btw.
Can clearly see in the below image:

Lastly we have a clip that is just this match in a nutshell. I was the only person who notices that the enemy team are probably at infernal drake and heimerdinger is shoving to the inhib turret on his own. I'm pinging like a madman, but Zac isn't interested in him until after he gets red buff.
I mean, bad players are allowed to exist. Things like this are always going to happen. But at what elo does this start getting filtered out? Mid plat isn't exactly high elo, and i've only played about 250 rankeds this season from silver 2, but I don't understand how players like Zac have won enough games to get to the rank he is at? He clearly lacks a shed ton of game knowledge, how is someone like him in the same game as other people I see that macro so well it makes your head spin? Why is he in this match?
Matches like this are what makes LoL more exhausting than enjoyable and more enduring than rewarding.
