NOT a team game!

Dear Riot.

Unless you are in the top few levels this game, it is in no way , shape or form a actual TEAM game.

Ive played team games, in team games, if someone does not pull their weight they are benched. In team games if say for instance a Linemen refuses to wear shoulderpads....THEY DONT GET TO PLAY.

In this game, you can't bench anyone, someone decides they want to play nothing but DPS champs....cant do anything aanything about it.

If your tank decides to go full attack speed with no armor....cant do anything about it. If your ADC can't last hit or refuses to team fight, cant do anything about it.

So please, lets stop pretending you give a shit about anyone below challenger and just admit that it is infact NOT a team game.

A lot of team games don't have reserve players, and, if someone is playing in an unusual way, it's almost always better to still have a player on the field than be down a player.

I'm a fencer, for example, and team fencing is definitely a thing -- but you don't have an extra guy on the team to pick up slack. If someone tries to use an ineffective attack over and over and over hoping it works, then you just try like hell to make up the gap, because if he scores even ONE point it's better than if you'd kicked him and given up all 5 points to the enemy uncontested.

The fact that you can't control your teammates or punish their actions does not mean it's not a team game.
