If I lose I want it to be because the enemy outplayed us, not because we have a veggie on our side

There is nothing at all fun or rewarding about being in a fucking 4v5 where the enemy are allowed to just group and win because one of our players is so fucking braindead they just run in and suicide again and again and again without even getting someone down to half HP most of the time.

Fuck this was infuriating.

The problem is Riot forces 50% win rate.

Like my winrate shouldn't ve strictly held back. Let me decide my games by how i play, let my winrate be decided by how i play not by your arbitrary rules.

You're the real veggie because you're too proud to look back at your game and figure out what you did wrong. Too much of a veggie to get rid of your ego. If someone on your team is not as good as the rest of you, good. It forces you to play better and carry in order to win. There are many factors that cause you to lose If you want to win, just get better at the game. Don't complain You are the only person you can change.

The first major challenge about this is, to admit that enemy outplayed you. Most of the players don't do that. They will whine in all chat, that the enemy only plays noob-champions, that all of the enemy team's champions are completly overpowered. And when they get perfectly outplayed in a situation where they should definetly have won a fight "reported for scripting", "gg rito, we've got a smurf on the enemy team" It is almost standard to look down upon the enemy and never admit that they might be good, maybe even better at the game than you.

The second challenge is, to see your own mistakes. Of course it's easy to blame your team for the enemy who is fed. But a lot of times there are also a lot of mistakes you've made in the game.

This does not apply to all games. There are games where you are the best player in the match, you perform outstanding but still can't carry. And if you think back of games you lost: You'll remember these games more often than other games you lost, because of strong emotions (frustration) attached to these memories. Whereas you'll quite fast forget about that one game where you got completely outclassed by your lane opponent. It should be seen as the third challenge. To put the games you lost due to your team and other looses in the right proportion. Don't just rely on your memorie, but be honest with yourself and go through you match history. Don't just ignore the looses that were not solemnly because of your teammates.

(There are players who can overcome these challenges and they probably won't share your feeling about only loosing due to your team. And they are mandatory for players who are dead serious about climbing) In the end, it's all about how you perceive it...

Happened to me too, recently enough. It's certainly frustrating but it's also a team game, I'm not sure exactly how Riot is supposed to fix this without fundamentally breaking other aspects of the game.

Please do not bump old threads. Dead threads are suppose to stay dead and resurrecting them is a violation of the Board Universal Rules. I'm locking down this thread. If we have something to discuss, it's best to create a new thread rather than bump a very old one.

Statistically speaking, the enemy team is just as likely to have a bonobo on their team as you are. The only thing you have absolute control over is your own mistakes. If you think your adc is about to get picked off in the jungle, spam ping them until they get to somewhere they aren't about to get instagibbed and openup baron for the enemy team. Whenever you have a (usually not bad, just tilted or inconsistent) player on your team, the enemy team probably does too.

It's always been like that in every single objective-based team game ever.
