Years of your life gone?
At the beginning of this month i entered my first ranked queues after several years of playing league of legends. I was excited to have finally achieved the runes and champions I needed to join the ranked bracket. I went 3-0 in something around 7 minutes, in my first game, which was about the time that i realized the game was starting to look hopeless for my team. At this time our adc was falling behind and so I attempted to gank bottom(i was the jungle role) and ended up dying in my own miss play. I felt that moment was the turning point of the game.. If i successfully killed the enemy adc it might have given my adc a chance to get back in the game however, again the misplay occurred.. So now, is the loss entirely my fault? Or does it have to do more with our adc already being significantly behind? Again i was 3-0 and went for a gank that i misplayed giving me my first death of the game. I'm not sure if this play truly want the difference between winning and losing all i know is that i was blamed for the loss... To continue, although the game was only at the 10 minute mark i firmly believe that there was nothing that we could have done to have won. Of course maybe if the other team just ran into our nexus repeatedly... But come on... The game was over, my teams adc had fallen too far behind the enemies adc to catch up with out some seriously misplays that were just not going to happen.. So I called for my team to surrender at 20. What happened next shocked me... I began to be antagonized and told that the loss was completely my fault. We've all been assaulted or most of us have via internet so honestly this did not bother me one bit. What bothered me was the fact that my team purposefully kept the game going, ignoring surrender pleas. I believe the game went past the 30 minute mark when it had been over since that 10 minute mark.... Just so that these players who had lost their lanes in 1v1s(2v2s) could continue to antagonize me. I ended up getting my account suspended later that day. I can't help but feel like the words i typed to someone else were directly affected by the experiences that were my first several games in ranked queue. I went 1-16 one win sixteen losses that day. You can say this is because i am a terrible player or because I trolled.. But the true reason is because every game i queued into at least one person was just there to ruin my gaming experience and you know what after 3 games of trying my heart out and having people antagonize me like that it felt pretty good to type out back some of the same words that were being thrown at me. So why am I posting this? Im posting this because I'm sure others have had this happen to them too. I'm sure others would like to be able to forfeit before the 20 minute mark so that they aren't spending 10 minutes in a slaughter fest with no hope of winning, Also how can you say 3/2 is not a successful vote to surrender? Im sure many others in this game would also like to see that changed as people duo queue and then gang up on other to antagonize them during games. What do you think? Even now I'm playing a game and its at the 6 minute mark and we're down 0-3 our mid has died twice... I'll bet anyone in the world i lose this game no matter how hard i try and what i do.
