Once again, another quality match, thanks to Rito!

The feeding ADC, the mid laner who literally cannot do anything, the top laner who is always pushed and is camped by the jungler and feeds her... Love the matching system, Rito! I feel like my games are just SO fair when there are only one or two people on my team who even know how to play the game, while the rest feed their asses off, go in individually, and all that.

But no, it's MY fault that I lose most of my games when this is how my teams look. Yep!

At least you got one thing right.

When I have an average 4:1 KDA (meaning I don't feed), always win lane, roam to other lanes to help out, control objectives, counter gank (even if I'm not the jungler), and all that... Yeah, sorry, I don't really see how it's my fault.

Having a positive KDA means shit when your team engages and you run away.

NiyumiOct 20, 20161 votes

Okay, except I am in the middle of every teamfight, but somehow manage to stay alive since I know how to position and avoid skillshots. Gee, what a surprise.

Sorry bud, when you play Teemo top and bring zero to teamfights because the enemy team knows what their doing, it's kinda your own fault.

Play more impactful champions, Ranked is not about having fun.

Shuts down any AA-based champion.
Bursty enough to assassinate anyone that isn't a tank.
Massive AoE damage + slows.
Tank buster potential with the proper builds.
Lane dominance, starving the enemy top laner.

Hmm... sounds impactful to me -- and hey, tell me what more someone like Zed does, or Irelia, or Vlad, or anyone else who isn't a CC bot. You're just used to bad Teemo players who have no idea how to properly use his kit or build him to be useful. There are many Diamond+ Teemo players who regularly carry their games. So, please, stop spouting off whatever you hear from other people.

Just because you like Teemo, does not mean he is useful. The one and only game Teemo has been in worlds or even the LCS, he went 1/12.

Don't give me the garbage that he is impactful at an elo that actually thinks on their feet.

To even hint that you could play on an advanced level is insulting.

NiyumiOct 20, 20161 votes

Just because you dislike Teemo does not mean he is useless. I'm not talking Worlds, those are a bunch of people who get paid to put on a show, and I see them make bronze mistakes all the time. I'm talking Diamond, Master and Challenger. There are many Teemo mains who do very well despite their champ being "bad."

I don't know if I play at an advanced level or not. I've taken on challenger players who are using their main and came out of lane 15/2. I went against a plat Azir last season (just after I started) with 3k games on Azir as Nidalee mid and hardcore stomped him. I go against diamonds and plats quite often in norms and do just fine. So, maybe I do. Maybe I don't.

To believe no one can play at an advanced level and be unhappy with Riot is just childish. ^^

Just because they have a plat boarder does not mean they are plat. It means they were plat a year ago. They could have taken a 10 month break. My point being, in an actual ranked game where people know how to play and counterplay, teemo has no place.

Mira Arya EntheOct 20, 20161 votes

Can do all that and more on Gnar, a far more effective champion in general.

NiyumiOct 20, 20161 votes

He does not shut down any AA-based champ, he is not bursty (unless you build AD), he does not absolutely dominate lane to the point you can't farm. He has conditional AoE damage, conditional tank busting, and not a ton of burst (like, to the point of just about instakilling people). He has a lot of CC, and is very slippery, but does not do all the things Teemo does. But sure, he does a lot of stuff quite a bit easier.

Every champion has a niche, every champion has strengths, and no two are alike (minus Lux and Morg and a couple other exceptions).

I didn't realize LoL was won by KDA or only laning phase. My god, it's like all that tactics, builds, communication, teamwork, objective control, team fights, doesn't exist!

I see almost every Katarina who loses still go 10+ kills, what is your point? Carrying a game isn't about KDA.

NiyumiOct 20, 20161 votes

I didn't realize a team that is down 40 kills can wipe the floor with a team that is entirely full build! You know, it's almost like... gold/levels win the game! Never would have guessed that one!

Mira Arya EntheOct 20, 20161 votes

sigh it's useless trying to talk to these 'whoa is me! I am so good, everyone drags me down' posters. GL kid.

NiyumiOct 20, 20161 votes

Aww, boo. Poor Shyvana main ran out of things to try and argue about. Why don't you go look up my match history, and tell me I'm the issue? Please, do it.

Mira Arya EntheOct 20, 20161 votes

You are the issue :)

NiyumiOct 20, 20161 votes

Mhm, on what grounds? What do I personally do that makes me lose the majority of my games?

Mira Arya EntheOct 20, 20161 votes

Build Rod of Ages and Blade of the Ruined King on Teemo, in the same game...

NiyumiOct 20, 20161 votes

Thank you Ms. / Mr. Teemo Main -- now, wanna tell me why I might do that? Maybe it's because, yeah, Teemo is kind of useless if you just stack AP on him. To get sustained damage and tank-killing potential, as well as a bit more burst, you build a BORK on him.

But, I don't play Teemo every game. In fact, lately, I haven't been playing him a lot. So, I'm still waiting for an answer.

If you get fed and win lane every game and still lose, it is 100% the problem with you throwing the game.

the guy you are facing only wins lane 30-40% of the time whereas otherwise he is even in lane or loses it. Still manages to get to 50% win rate. why is it? because either he can do his job for the team even from a losing position, or he manages to leverage his won lane into a won game, or most likely BOTH. if he can and you can not, who is to blame, RIOT? they won't put him on your team he is sitting on YOUR role.

So you win lane a lot but don't win games? that may have a number of reasons. maybe you play a champion who's overall impact outside of lane is small ("falls off", "bad mid game" et cetera)? maybe you do not know how to leverage winning your lane into winning the game? maybe you are not interested in your direct, losing opponent making cross-map plays as a recovery mechanism and are caught off guard by your team getting smashed 5v4 because top lane opponent still has core items?
