Looking for Advice on how to deal with Teammates

Kyu Ryu·11/12/2019, 1:03:15 AM·1 votes·1,342 views

What I am about to describe is sadly not a rarity. It happens often and I don't know how to deal with it.

In ranked games I get very bad players. I tried to mitigate this by learning what time of day they play and avoiding it but it gets annoying when you can't play league because a lot of bad players are on. I shouldn't have to time playing ranked games this tightly. To put this in perspective, non ranked has better players. They insist on following their own insane path and end up throwing the game in their own special way.

This could be a support who will not ward and then complains that your bad because you died when 75% of the deaths are from him not warding.

This could be a mid laner that sees players in trouble and just sits there and does nothing while at 100% hp.

This could be a tank who consistently never supports the team and always has 100% hp when his team mates are all dead.

This could be a support that just walks forward and dies over and over and then complains you weren't there to attack with him. Even though he was already told to run for his life 20 seconds earlier. I have litterally seen beginner bots play better. I think this guy gets the crown for worst support I have ever seen in the entire game and this is over the course of many years.

This could be the assassin that goes 15/15 and then wonders why his team can't help. ( hint: his deaths has scaled up enemies so high his team can't do any damage)

This could be someone who was pinged and couldn't miss it and yet they don't react at all.

This could be a support that is so worthless in how they are playing that it would be better if they were in a different lane not stealing your experience.

This could be a jungle that never ganks lanes and never gets any objectives.

This could be the people that decide what pings they follow based on how many kills the person that pinged has. In case your wondering, yes I did find someone that wouldn't follow a supports pings because the supports kills were to low. They didn't even look at the assist.

This could be the person that revives, team fights and dies over and over again. Never pushing any minion waves or getting any objectives. Never doing anything more then reviving and dieing. Then proceeds to say they are carrying while their team mates are being one shotted from all the kills they fed. They also tend to complain that their team mates are never in team fights when their team mates are busy picking up their slack and don't have time for team fights.

This could be the team mates that chase an assassin through the woods and then wonder why the entire group gets aced.

This could be the support that you see walking into a trap bush and you warn them it is a trap. They keep walking anyway and die. This was a split second reaction. They walked a good 5-10 seconds longer before falling into the trap. Feeding the enemy ADC and ending any chance you have at getting early game kills.

There are many more paths of insanity. I don't know how these people maintain their rank. I suspect they are dependant on overpowered champs. My question is how do you handle a team with whatever form on insanity they have because this is not a rarity? It is common to see people do the silliest things.

How do you grab a victory with people like this from the jaws of defeat? It is way to common to say it is a bad game. It happens over and over again.

A large part of League of Legend strategy is learning how to work with people reguardless of how terrible they are at the game but my strategies don't seem to be working at all. I consistently play as either the best or second best on the team ( this doesn't count support since support is harder to quantify). At the time of posting this (6 pm 11/11/19), I had a long string of losses from people doing the stupidest things. I need advice on how to handle people like this because some of these loses are just ridicolous. What makes this harder is I play ADC so I will always be subject to whatever support I get. The ones in bronze division are not that good at all. 1/3-1/2 of them don't even buy the warding item.

Listen, honestly I did go throw that and we all did.

The best way (and sounds a bit... I know) its to literally ignore them.

Because people often see one or more mistakes and start pointing it. Then you lose your focus, you do mistakes and die too and you get the angry feeling then the rage comes out.

People do mistakes , a lot but were matches that were lost and because our team won one team fight did one baron, won the game.

Your elo is a bit different but this rule is for all your future.

I can play mid and start arguing with the guys that die or do mistakes and instead of ending with 200 farm min 25, taking some kills , doing some stuff in the map I willl end with 100 farm min 30, a lo of deaths , tilted etc.

If your team mates are worst and you get your champion to the point where he can 1 v 5 your team will auto follow you. Even if they are bad they will help a litle. Let them engage first , use them but you have to be the key and the one who does a lot more.

For this you need good champions that can 1 v 5. You need not just to play them but to get your champion to the max level in a game. If your enemy has 100 farm min 20 you need to have 180. Kills are not all that matters. If someone is feed in the enemy team stay with your team when you have to, let them engage on someone of your team and you take them out and boost yourself even more.

If they have a feed kha zix don´t go on toplane alone pushing because he will come to kill you and you don´t get any farm but lose time. You are an easy target, never check bushes or go in no vision areas.

Things like this. I could say 1000 examples. You need to know you champion and combos. If you play ashe you need to know before you engage things like ´´If that guy jumps on me with that skill I will do that´´ and so on.

Things like this. Important is to have a champion that can carry and do better than your teammates.

Top damage, top farm , less deaths posible, wards. Not to be a KDA player but things that matter.

Improve with time is the key

On a more serious note, "Mute All" works wonders with teammates. I find that if you type less and don't distract them, they end up playing better, or turn the game around late.
