I had a major argument within my premade. (long post)
As the last day of this season, I had a large argument within my premade trio. And I need help in terms of making my decision. Where shall I start...my premade was merely a duo, where we were cranking up the tiers with our jung/mid picks. We had general respect towards each others tactics, and mechanics and even if we lost there seemed to be a way next time.
But one day I was introduced to this former "master" tier player which allegedly bought a account since he hasnt played league for two months and had his account hacked and sold off. (he also produced the screenshot of the said account) At first, I was thrilled of afforded a chance of playing with a person with a higher tier which I can learn so much to improve, but soon I had doubts growing from the results each match since our 60% score of winrates were dramatically dropping to a mere 33% for the past three weeks. (I started playing on my smurf since I sensed the shitstorm coming in)
After one certain loss after I just balls-out busted the enemy laner, I wasn't able to handle to frustration (it was a near 12 loss streak). So I engaged a argument to determine if my fears are true.
First of all, the major focal point. Why is he not able to handle his enemies at all and having the single yet massive KDA deficit. His : 4.4 / 6.6 / 4.3 Compared to mine: 6.3 / 4.4 / 10.2
The response was that he cannot adjust to players in this mid silver-gold elo and cant predict their movements. And he claims that even faker can't determine the gameplay and have a slight chance of being killed in lane. And when he goes ADC or support, his expectations are high that he cannot synch with his lane partner. I'm going to ask you this my community.** Is this even true?** When I was in the UK my diamond 3 friend got a sponsorship to play in tournaments he absolutely crushes opponents to submission, yet this former masters player complains about it and loses against damn silvers. Are high elo people unable to carry when placed in lower tiers?
Secondly, the biggest argument. I questioned his picks. He was making seriously audacious pick, but just for this match, I asked him in all respect is top azir the best pick against wukong top and lee jungle. So he questioned me what is wrong at all since it offers peel and engage in the same bucket. I claimed that current Azir has his numbers so toned down that it is literally impossible to carry, since he has like 40% winrate which actually goes down if you play more, and to top it all he did like 40% of my Jinx damage as a ranged carry. His answer was, that Azir is still picked in professional and has immense potential and utility, and is viable enough. As he picked azir 3rd, his own team should have adjusted to it. And that if I were to question viablity, then Jinx was not picked at all in professional play so my argument is denied. And that damage itself has no meaning towards the match if I did not win, and the adcs role is not to pile damage.
Am I being trolled here? like i can't even tell, since I'm so infuriated. The introduced person had indeed a massive amount of knowledge towards this game, but one thing is straight. I'm losing hard since I'm with this person. It's hard to explain why this happened here, since I'm that player who wins game by instinct. I know something is not right. But I cant just prove it and feel somewhat defeated to a person who is actually playing wierd and talking wierd. Or is this legit master tier logic?
