Is it really that bad to let your team carry you?

I don't understand why people are so mad when they are getting carried. I mean, ya, it sucks that you aren't having the best game. But the rest of the team is winning, you aren't going to carry every game.

Then there's me. If it's ten minutes into the game and our Top or ADC is 7/0/3, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride. Build tank or utility and let him carry. Or if i'm losing lane, i'll completely stop trying for the big play. Just play safe, farm and be useful for the rest of the team.

The reason i bring this up is because I've had two straight games where our adc try'd to surrender a winning game because, "I'm not carrying this game." We are up by 15 kills, we're up by 10k gold. You're not gonna carry every game. And when you're not, don't try and make the team rage at each other because you're under performing one game.

I don't understand it either but here's the thing: now with dynamic queue, a SILVER can get carried into DIAMOND.

It's not about getting carried a few games or even 1/3 of your games. It's about being unable to win even a single game at the MMR you get carried to.

This has no relevance to the topic whatsoever outside of both posts happening to feature the verb "carry". Stop using unrelated threads to whine about dynamic queue.

so you're saying you're proof it's possible you can be a silver scrub and be carried to diamond?

It's fine in ranked, but I play norms to do well. >_>

In normals, I'm gonna keep building fking damage. Simply because RekSai isn't fun with no damage, so I get damage. Normals are about fun. and I'm gonna have some fking fun.

There is nothing wrong letting your team carry you. It's a valid strategy.

its most people's ego, god complex is strong in leagues community everyone seem to think they are some kind of god restrained by their shitty teamates

Part of it has to do with the fact that someone getting carried probably had a bad laning experience.

Ppl fail to understand that they can still be of help by setting up winning scenarios:

  • Set a good CC so that your fed team has freedom of action
  • Be the meat shield/bait of ultimates
  • Ward around/contirbute to vision
  • Farm pushing minions and get back into fights (careful not to leave your team too much at their disposal)
  • Take a look at map and call for objectives

These are all things that can be done if you are not the fed one, the last ones are things that only the unfed one should do so you are actually carrying your team by sideways.
