The Premade That Gave Me Hope

I played a ranked game. Usually play Soraka support. Usually play aggressive cuz I thought that rejuvenation would help me back up during and after trades. Usually don't think I would get ganked. In hindsight, I probably should've expected it. As their fiddlesticks ulted into our lane, with the enemy Alistar headbutting and chain-ccing me into a Caitlyn trap, I tilted. It wasn't this sole event either. Went to clear a ward cuz i pinked it. A fiddlesticks ulted point blank from tribush. Went to ward a bush. Accidentally grazed the 'R' key. But then the threeman premade consoled me. They said it was all right. That it was fine. That they were all at that stage one time or another. I knew it wasn't. For god's sake, I accidentally ulted. But they reassured me it was all right. Not a single time during that game was a harsh word even directed at me, nor was it directed towards the other solo-er nor towards each other (i had asked previously if they were using a communication system like skype so i would know to follow if only a single one of them pinged). I had literally just asked them to flame me. I really needed it. I've been so used to being flamed by a team that I've practically been better at functioning with flamers than functioning with such an angelic premade. We eventually won that game. I was able to soon turn my score around, from a 0-4-0 to a 1-6-16. It may not look much, but the whole point that I was able to turn my score around just that little much was nothing short of a miracle. The best part---They honored me. I told them I loved them and i wished them the best of luck their next coming games. But when i exited the post-game lobby, I found this little gem. One honor from each of the premades. One honor from each category. Knowing that there are people, let alone premades, like that in this world gives me hope.

There really is nice people on the rift, they're just few and far between.

What? That's impossible

The boards have scientifically proven that any scumbag who is willing to play with 2 or more of their friends are going to be total douche canoes

I think this post is propaganda by Riot!!

Man, this is like, the exact opposite of every premade I encounter.

+1 for the few good people in League.

We need more people like you. No one ever thinks to tell the good stories, only the bad.

Funny thing, had practically the same experience in my last ranked game.

I went bloody 0/5 in laning phase against a riven because I got camped by her jungle graves (burning flash is like putting a huge "GANK ME" sign on me)

But the remade Jungle Sup and ADC were all super nice, helped me get back into the game with jungle farm and the like and made me feel useful by getting every drake, them waiting for me to get there with my slow ass MS.

We actually won, despite Riven going 6/0 for the first half of the game.

Really made my day (though ending with 1/5/7 wasn't exactly the best feeling ever^^'')

To be frank, there aren't as many flaming premades as these boards would make you think. It's just that people only complain about the flaming ones, and probably don't even notice the good ones. Negativity bias and all that.

This is generally what me and my fiance do when we play as a premade with friends. Especially since two of my friends are Bronze and low Silver level, we're used to helping out and being pretty chill when mistakes happen, so we never rage at solos since mistakes generally happen.

I do try to give advice time to time, or give out a lot of "GJ" or praise when they do manage to do a great play/save. A little kindness goes a long way :3

Though man I do have some crazy stories about solos and duos we've been paired with who've been utter scum of the earth. But again, just report and move on~

Glad to see you got a good premade. We're not always noticeable since the majority of premades are on coms and stay silent throughout the game, but glad these guys were just as chill and you were able to win :)

i love these stories. sadly i could be much better myself. i let the rage get to me sometimes, but as long as i aspire to not be a scumbag and be a better person one day, i think i'll be fine.

+1 For cautious optimism

Most of the time, I don't even notice premades unless they have the same tag. Even then, I often notice late.

Mostly they play and act like everyone else. (Which doesn't mean they all act like angels, but nor does it mean they're extra deep into the cesspit)
