Why are "boosted" teammates in my games? How are they even the same rank?
It's almost insulting to me that I am the same rank as some of these players and a huge waste of my time. The game I am talking about in the end we won and was about 50 minutes rather than 25-30, let me explain.
I am playing veigar mid. In the beginning of the match I have a pretty easy lane and so does our riven beating her top lane by 3 kills and a good amount of cs, I have control over my midlaner and have a kill above her and zoned her from her cs, and our lee has gotten some kills on the mastery yi who is feeding unintentionally. This looks like a pretty easy game, but the bot lane has a 0/2 sona and 0/6 vayne and the enemy cait has 5 kills. That is bad but since everyone else is doing fine it is carry able.
What this really is about, after laning phase where I actually see Sona and Vayne play I realize they don't have much mechanical skill or decision making what so ever. When Vayne fights master yi she stands there tanking his autos and both sona and vayne are caught out of position plenty of times taking questionable pathing and have extremely poor judgement.
We got to the point in the game where we got 1 inhibitor the other alive with no tower and bot tower was the only one standing, and we had nearly all our towers and baron buff. The game should have ended right there but Lee Sin and riven had different ideas, riven wanted to take the inhibitor while lee sin wanted to push bot lane. Keep in mind I have a 1000 ap and 40% cdr at this time in the game. The safer easier play is to take bot tower so I just follow lee and tell everyone to group with me. Riven goes in and 1v5's and Sona and vayne start following her. I ditch lee sin who proceeds to tower dive the fed caitlyn and the ahri and dies and starts pinging me and calls me stupid.
Bunch of other bs happens team wont group with me and eventually I get to the point where at this point i'm about done. Sona leaves the group of vayne, me, and riven and goes off to 1v1 master yi top lane obviously loses. We have baron buff and elder dragon so I say that since sona and lee sin are never grouping anyways lets just push mid. Lee sin respawns and sona eventually does too but sona just roams fighting jungle camps at our top side while we are trying to siege the nexus. I chunk cait kill yi and we finally won.
How are people like this the same rank as me? In a game where everyone is my level of competence we would win almost every game in silver easily. Why are people who are this unskilled in silver? It's really dragging me down.
The worst part is, these players especially sona and vayne are considered my equals according to ranked. How? In a system thats supposed to judge a player. Such a huge disparity.
