One lane gets fed and translates that lead into other lanes and the game is over. No way to come back unless they dive as 5 under fountain. We lost 3 inhibs at 19 mins. Ok then man, quality game, really learned a lot from it. Like what the fuck do you want me to do ? Riot made the game so snowbally that either you win at 15 mins or you lose at 15 mins. No fun either way. That's why I was playing flex q for actual fun these days. Solo q is literal garbage.
dunder kill34 votesYou think this is something specific to diamond?
Velzard of Koz15 votesVery likely he just didn't want to speak for other elos he hasn't experienced. Saying it's like this in dia just means he knows it's like this in dia from experience, not explicitly denying it's like that in other elos, too.
RocketRelm4 votesI think his point is to specifically point at a high ELO (Diamond) to reference that the answer isn't just git good, scrublord.
TeCoolMage2 votesGold and below people can't close off games so really you lose 3 inhibs at like 30 minutes earliest.
Shattered Mind2 votesGold and below people can't close off games so really you lose 3 inhibs at like 30 minutes earliest.
I h ave lost numerous games where i got fed and pushed hard but my team would come and help finish it and the enemy comebacks and wins. I have to the nexus and the enemy win when they had no towers down

yeah.. this isn't a "diamond" issue here at all..
no to toxic11 votesYou mean there are 20% games where one player no matter if on the enemy or on your team does´t go 0/10/0?

Sorry but that's just the state of the game in general, at every rung of the ladder.

It's a garbage experience overall. I've been having way more fun in ARAM since the last few patches (somehow it's getting worse even as the preseason is now behind us).
SorenAlucard4 votesDude its not just diamond, even in the lower elos where we have difficulty closing games out the recipe is pretty much the same.
Mid or Jg or Top (or any combination) rotates constantly on bot lane. Bot lane loses. Tower falls. Everything goes to shit GG
Sasogwa4 votesI find it fucking hilarious that the 0/10/0 guy still outcsing everyone, like waaat
Leaf on Bush2 votesCould be a case of giving up and farming on uncontested lanes while the team loses towers and inhibs 4v5.
AMYS GRAVE1 votesI mean, sometimes you can't contest the inhibs 5v5 either, so might as well get something out of it.
Leaf on Bush1 votesThere is one problem with that, you lose the game if you don't defend. lul
AMYS GRAVE1 votesWelcome to season 8.
Leaf on Bush1 votesYou could have done the same in season 1. It's not season specific to run down a lane and farm while you lose the game.
AMYS GRAVE1 votesYeah, but in seasons past there were other options besides just lose because of a small lead. Turtle and stall comps used to be a thing.
Leaf on Bush1 votesWell he was playing Vlad mid, had a Vayne ADC, not all soloQ teams are that bad at holding towers. There is huge variety of mid mages who could have done more in such a game. Also having a real tank allows you to buy more time, they only had fiddle jungle and irelia top. xD All in all the perfect team to get snowballed on.
AMYS GRAVE1 votesYeah, sometimes its just a lose lose situation.
LankPants1 votesWhen people are pushing down inhibs you kinda have to give up some CS. This is one of the rare cases where having a higher CS total is actually showing poor play.
Leaf on Bush4 votesThat's a bold statement but it would still be interesting if Riot would show some real statistics on this, because 1 game is obviously meaningless and you alone can't talk for all diamond players.

how is electrocute vlad strange ? you go that rune when you build pure ap no cdr and you're a one shot mage, not a battlemage with spellbook and 45% cdr. but you're silver 5 dude, teach me da wae.
Gesterr1 votesI've seen plenty of 45% cdr spellbook Vlads oneshot whole teams anyway with more uptime on rotations, thats why I think. Doesnt matter if you overkill them.
Linna Excel4 votesThe saddest thing is that 0/10 Irelia somehow managed to have the best CS on your team. Those CS numbers are what high-bronze players would have at 20 minutes.
Pika Fox3 votesYou got outplayed. Severely, by the looks of it. LoL is a team game. You arent supposed to carry when everyone else is feeding.
RocketRelm7 votesI'd argue that "Your ally got severely outplayed ≠ You got severely outplayed."
Sure, it resulted in a loss for you and your team, but the implication that your skills were inferior doesn't hold.

Barkley3 votesI'm glad someone outside of silver/gold said this.
Maybe now all the "get gud" idiots will pay attention to it.
densi2 voteshttps://lildensi.s-ul.eu/ccinR9BP it's just so retarded
PopcornBunni2 votesSo what you're saying is riot should implement a surrender at 10 option.
I'm on board. When games are decided by first tower going down 5 minutes into the game, having to wait out the next 14 for the nexus to physically fall feels insulting.
Brutal DMG2 votesYou suffer by something that we all suffer, is called ADC & Jungle meta, when one of those 2 gets a lead they just make the game hell, and if both are ahead the game is won for them.
BTW, if you, the reader wanna know my rank, i was P2 demoted from my Diamond promos, then in this new season i got P5, and i demoted from P4 to G2 bcs of the adc meta
As an Akali main, i rage every time when i cannot one shot the enemy ADC with my 25/5 score. Why? Because with: 
+ Overheal, the ADC's health is like 10%, and the rest is just a shield, on top of a shield, with another shield on top of another shield. How can i deal with something like this as an assassin that is supposed to get in, kill, and get out in like 2 seconds to prove my skill? I'm telling you:
I can't.
Yenn2 votesSpoiler: It doesn't matter that you encounter this same problem in your Silver games, the players you play with/against aren't good enough to use their advantage to close out the game, and they pretty consistently make mistakes that can be capitalized on.
This problem is particular to Diamond, because the game gets closed out ASAP without giving any chance of a come back. Once they start pushing down your inhibitors at 15 minutes with an item advantage, it's pretty much over.
nm10101 votesI was a big fan of the recent Beyond the Rift where Riot basically said something along the lines of "Losing a bad trade(s) and getting snowballed on sucks so we introduced a ton of defensive options to kill all aggression at high elo instead of nerfing snowballing".
pseudo dionysius1 votesI don't doubt you, but do you think you could provide a time stamp for that? Thanks.
nm10103 votesIt was mostly satire of the first 20 minutes or so. Basically Qt and Scarra ask "What do you think about (insert safe/defensive rune) being too good" and Riot responding "Yeah it is probably too good, we just wanted to have good defensive options for hard lanes. If it becomes the default option it should probably be addressed" with most of the runes being the default option currently.
Gelmous1 voteshe was probably autofilled
option paralysis6 voteshe was probably autofilled
nope, he's a top lane main. thats what im saying. he got ganked 3-4 times and the game was over. nothing skilled about it, nothing I could have done about it. riot just created a snowballing game that's terrible to play.
