I Understand Everyone Has Bad Games But...
Why is one or more person having a bad game, IN ALL OF MY GAMES?
There's only been two games in my last 20-30 games of League that I've played where I died more than 5 times. One of those games, my team had an AFK and we almost won 4v5. I can't comprehend why there's one of more players dying 11 - 20+ times in literally every single one of my games. I don't want to believe these players are dying on purpose. When you blatantly warn them about bad situations and they ignore you, it's difficult not to believe they aren't feeding however.
Now, I'm not going to pretend that the enemy team doesn't get these feeders -- they do. The biggest problem that I keep seeing in every single game, win or lose, is one team always has "aggressive feeders". The team that doesn't have these players, or has less of them, wins just about every single time.
League of Legends is so largely based on gold and item scaling that it's extremely difficult to come back from a game where you have one or multiple players constantly dying. You can't out-farm a player snowballed from kills anymore due to the nurfs to the Jungle camp changes and spawn times (as well as the past buffs to creeps). At this time in League of Legends, the 10-0 player is always stronger than someone farming even 180 cs at 15 minutes. I find this incredibly sad because in my opinion it's much more difficult to farm THAT well than to acquire the kills. Don't get me wrong, it does take some measure of skill to get 10 kills in general however someone who's farming extremely well should be equal, if not more powerful, than the fed player.
A long time ago Siv HD said something like "you don't need minions if you have kills"... Back when he said that, I don't think it was entirely the truth. If someone were to say that right now, I'd whole heatedly agree with them. All it takes is 1-2 failed ganks (or successful depending what team you are on) in any one lane for a game to be pretty much over.
Towers are worth shit tons of gold, Kills are worth shit tons of gold, Assists are worth a decent amount of gold.
If you killed the enemies once, you can kill them twice. If you killed the enemies twice, you can probably take Rift Herald, Dragon, maybe even their nexus, If the enemies haven't thrown away the game yet, you can probably just tower dive them over and over.
Who needs to push anymore? The Rift Herald 2 shots towers. It's not like the enemy ever had a real chance of fighting back, you have more items AND dragons buffing up your stats. If the enemy has wave clear, who cares? Oh please enemies, please try to come stop us from doing Baron. We don't mind, we'll take whatever gold you're worth and then take the Baron anyways so we can have a little more.
Yes, the game has always been "like this"... however right now it's just slightly worse. It only takes one bad play to swing gold in the thousands and the team who gets lucky enough or is skilled enough to obtain that lead isn't likely to throw that lead away for a long time.. regardless of how poorly they play. When you start obtaining a lead, it takes a ridiculous amount of screw ups from the other team before your team starts breaking even again. One game that seemed like we should have been winning, I aced the enemy team as Malphite 4 times in a row and we were still losing simply because of a few mistakes my teammates made in the early portion of the game. Once the glass spills, you can't put the water back into it without Jesus coming over to walk on that shit, turn it into wine, and then put it back into your glass again.
Do I have an answer for all this? Nope. Not a clue.
I'm just a
Terrible, Low ELO, Shit player,
Who is tired of looking at enemies with near double my gold at the end of games where I cs 8-10 minions a minute and often have thousands of Gold more than me even in games where I am also fed and doing half-way decently.

Before you get all hot-headed and decide you are going to be smart and check up on me so you can find stuff to insult me over.. I am a Jungle main on this account and my post has absolutely no ties to anything pertaining to my experiences on it. So just go somewhere else if you're coming here to toss out your salt at someone.
