the ONLY time you can legitimately blame a teammate for your death

Morgy Morgy·Apr 6, 2016·6 votes·705 views

is when they assist the enemy in killing you. all applicable examples: blocking/trapping you purposefully ulting you at a horrible time/opening a portal to your location for enemy access grabbing an enemy while near you to help them get a free kill ulting an enemy towards you so they can close the distance trapping you in his pit kicking an enemy towards you anything involving your w/getting into his mouth while he ults directly into danger trapping you pushing an enemy towards you

Baiting someone and then misplaying should be considered in this list.

yes, your own decisions are important.

but once a Vi stood outside my lane while i was being ganked, watched them dive me without using anything, instead walking away as I killed one under tower, then dived into the second after i died and he left tower, and proceeded to die to him.

I expected her to help, as that's what she indicated with her pings and movements, but then just let me die before feeding my lane, I blame her for that.

But I called my jungler for gank at 100hp and he didn't kill the guy in time. It's his fault!

I dunno man. When someone asks for ganks and I see the enemy jungler on a ward on the other side of the map and know that TPs are down so I can very safely and profitably gank assuming my teammate can play their champion -and they can't- and I get murdered for it. That counts. Like I'm not ganking with 45%hp to watch you miss Tibbers, Annie. Get out of my games.

Soraka - your ADC took all your health because he was out of position and then the enemy dove you.

Janna ulting an enemy to you. Or just anyone with a push and pushing an enemy to you.

I did that once by accident and almost got my ADC killed... whoops.

Poppy ulting enemies away to safety.

There's more than that. Any enemy that gets resets can kill you because an ally screwed up and died when he/she shouldn't have. Like imagine if you have an ally fighting an enemy kat and it's a really close battle but he thinks he can win. So then you get kinda close and use a couple abilities to help out but he dies anyways. And then she just presses eqw and you die since your ally let her cooldowns reset. Then he got you killed. Yes you could've avoided it but I'd still say that's more on him if he chose to fight when he could've avoided it.

An ally could have failed to call mia or failed to interrupt that easily stoppable teleport where an enemy showed up and you didn't think they'd be able to, and again you could've avoided it, but I'd still say that's more on your ally.

There is also the idea of everyone on your team being nearby to fight in case it happens. Then an enemy Master Yi ults and charges towards you. If you just all fight him you win, but all your allies choose to just run away, so then he just kills you one by one and no one of you can stop him. This is totally the team's fault since you needed that positioning you had in order to win the fight, your team just failed to follow up on it correctly.

And of course, we need that simple old 10-0 enemy top laner just teleporting to your lane and then they can just dive you so easily since he's so much stronger than you are. And though technically this is your fault, there's usually not much you can do about this.
