League is NOT poker.

I don't get why people play league as a poker/numbers game. 5 mins in, 2 deaths and it's "GG"? That mentality is toxic to everyone in league.

The game is NOT a numbers game, if anything it's more like basketball. There are ALWAYS comebacks and misplays. I've come back from horrible games.

The defeatist attitude/numbers game mentality is really what's wrong with ranked once you get into mid tiers.

The game surely is not a numbers game, but it is a fcking snowball game. Get your mind straight.

I dunno... because the 2 deaths were to Fizz and the mid laner is already whining at the jungler about not ganking and blaming bot lane for not applying enough pressure. Sometimes you can just tell a game is headed right for the toilet.

Every person I've played with who did the whole "gg im done" thing was always the one who did worst on the team. They would do things that were outright detrimental to our efforts to win, simply because they were mad that they themselves weren't doing well. It doesn't happen that often in my games, but these people are cancer to play with when we did get them. Grouping would ensure we win the game? Person refuses to do it just to be spiteful because he went 0/2 in early lane phase.

Probably the most annoying thing is how you have to try to sooth their ego and kiss their ass to get them to actually try.
