I've never been so sarcastic in my fucking life, this is an honest joke and I feel insanely sorry for people who are actually trying to learn the game. Moral of the story, Yasuo didn't get his role, so he went bot. Kayle, who's a new player, was "Taking" cs from Yasuo, which he didn't agree with. So, he went out of his way to say "Fuck you %%%%er if you take another cs i'm inting", low and behold, she did. He further on ran it down mid 8 times, then afk'd, and made our Ori afk.

Honestly, is this the way you want to portray your game to new players? This isn't a once in a life time ordeal, I'm level 11 and I've come across it AT LEAST 6 times out of the total 14 games I've played on this account. That is honestly pathetic, but hey, it's not me who's losing money.

Can we stop spreading false information? The new player experience in league is actually VERY good. This is only anecdotal evidence based on MY experience, but I guarantee others can vouch:

When my friend, who JUST started playing league 3 weeks ago, plays with me on my smurf he feeds almost every game. Why? Because riot already knows that I'm smurfing so matches me with other smurfs. HOWEVER, when he goes and plays games SOLO he actually CARRIES a majority of his games. This is to say, that when he plays with me, he plays against a few smurfs, however, when he plays solo he gets matched appropriately.

From this, you can see that the new player experience is VERY friendly to new players. And, being the sadistic friend I am, I made him start this game by playing Draven and he actually carries on Draven solo. To top it off, when he plays with me and he's feeding and dying constantly these are words I never hear from him:

"Omg, fuck this game so unbalanced so broken what's going on why are these guys smurfing blah blah blah"

It's more along the lines of:

"What do I build? What does that champ do? What does my champ do? What should I do next? Did I do that right? how do I do this?"

New players have more questions and curiosity therefore they enjoy the game a lot more. When he's 0/8 this is what he says:

"just one kill, ONE KILL"

He gets his kill and goes

"At least I got a kill this game, I'm happy"

Ah... the innocence of being a beginner in league.

Actually, the matchmaker is pretty good at bumping smurfs up, so that when you smurf, you're quickly moved away from the actual new players. Nice proof!
