PSA my teammates must be good at every champ to play ranked

i think people just don't want one-trick ponies who tilt and underperform even on their preferred "pony". you should be able to play at least 3 champs in your desired role, these 3 champs having distinct identities and being able to collectively blanket a wide array of matchups.

but hey, if you wanna one-trick your way up the ladder, then by all means go ahead

My teammates should probably not first time champs in ranked tho.

Me: I main support Another guy: pick Braum Me: I don't have Braum. (Picks Maokai) Another guy: wtf if you main support why don't you have Braum

Maybe because I'm still a noob like you and haven't had time to buy all the meta supports?

Not at all, but at the very least you should have a pretty good understanding of what EVERY role is SUPPOSED to be doing, and if you cant you honestly SHOULD NOT be playing ranked games until you do. Why anyone would even want to bother trying is beyond me.

ex: ADC queues up only knowing 3 AD champs and 2 JG. Both roles are taken. Now they are forced to play either:

1. A Champion/role they have minimal to no exp. or knowledge of whatsoever OR 2. A champion they may know, but in a role it isn't remotely suited for.

Both leaving you and your team at an instant disadvantage while probably tilting them from the second they spawn.

Is it really that hard to understand? And none of this "omg this game is to have fun dont be so serious I can play this champ anywhere" blah blah blah. No, you can't 95% of the time, that's why there's this funny little thing called META and NORMAL MODE. People need to respect the other 4 people's time they're wasting and screwing over. This community is pretty toxic for sure, but idiots doing stupid little shit like this is exactly the type of things contributing to where we are now.
