My fault?

FuzzyLumps·Feb 9, 2017·45 votes·2,303 views

If you are mad at your team for not helping you in a fight, or for running and not following, ask yourself these questions:

Did I ping I was going in
Was my team on cooldown
Did we have vision on the rest of their team
Are there a crap ton of minions that would have caused a lot of agro
Did I drive a turret
What are the odds my teammate would have died too
Did I overextended
Did I overstay

I've been on both sides of this fight. Don't rage your teammates when you die. Learn from it. Don't tilt your team.

Don't know why they stopped - a giant statue that shoots magic energy balls at your enemies? Where do I sign?

It was because the magic energy balls were only really good at killing mosquitos. The mosquitos far outnunbered the shots it could put out, and funnily enough the tower seemed to attracted them, so people eventually gave up trying to ride them.

All of the wheels broke and no one was able to figure out how to make new ones since the builders were dead.

Was my team on cooldown

I hate it when my team goes on cooldown

My team always blows their team.... as a result, the team is on cooldown perpetually :thinking:

Man, I wish my teammates would stop going on cooldown all the time. Damn them and their crappy internet connections.

What truly separates players is people who rage and flame, bitch and troll, vs people who actually think about a situation and take responsibility for their mistakes rather than playing blame game.

I asked mid if they could leash since top was lagging out and went afk for 3 min.

ahri pinged and said sure then she stood in bush told me mid doesn't leash and that im a noob because in plat youtube videos they never leash and she wants to get out of bronze...

shaco helped me he even took the entire jungle and killed ahri 4 times.

they blamed me

9 . Were your allies low on health and went to heal/lifesteal first?

I've often been flamed for running away from a fight with how health and nipping into the jungle to lifesteal back up. Teammate, after I've done this and am heading back towards the fight: "Why are you at full health farming their jungle in the middle of a teamfight?"

If it's number 5, then it's 100% their fault for leaving you. Turrets don't do shit, remember?

FaustavianFeb 9, 20172 votes

Or my favorite

Did I blow all the enemies cooldowns, land every CC ability on the prioritized targets, and distract them for a full 10 seconds after a perfectly executed and announced initiate to start the fight.

*wtf were you doing Sion, gg ff

Why are you on cooldown? Maybe it is your fault.

GelmousFeb 10, 20172 votes

you know whats frustrating ? when there's a wave pushing to tower so you ping your team billion times that's clustered mid to back off and avoid fighting because you're going to clear the wave and then they end up fighting the 4v5 anyways lose and them blame you for not being there

As a side note you should also understand when to go in. I remember back in season 3/4 (feral flare era) we were up vs an all AD team. I had a nasus. About 25 minutes I was 300-400 Q farm and pushing down mid with ahri and...I think ezreal at the time? (this was a long time ago). I remember that an enemy vi, zed, and I think lucian all deicded to mosh on me while i was under turret. Obviously we should win the fight. Tank is eating aggro from EVERYTHING while the squishes can do their thing...No...these guys left me in a 3v1 situation for 20 fucking seconds. God it still pisses me off when i think about it...

Their excuse was "sorry we didn't know you were that tanky already"
