Actions in ranked - what bothers me the most
To start of- if you expect another pro or against "ohh people are toxic" post, i wont give you that pleasure.
Unless somebody is an asshole to start with, in my book everything else comes from the heat of the battle, and i completely ignore it (sometimes take part of it).
Real issues come from actions..or rather lack of, that hurt the game in a big manner.
Guess it is all fixable, and it is treated as normal in diamond an above, but in plat/high gold where i currently am, following patterns are an issue:
-
Complete lack of counter action to a certain move - Guess we all had this, mid laners fight enemy one roams gets a kill on you top or bot. With some time i stoped raging at people for not pinging enough or even following..hey maybe he has better push power, maybe you are afraid to trade, heck i should have it warded and be prepared just like if it was a jungler gank,BUt...for the love of god..DONT randomly stand there and freeze empty lane. That pisses me into oblivion. Go help other lane, go press their jungler, chip the tower, take the tower, at least push in hard and deny expirience, you dont have to come- but counter the action in ANY goddamn way.
-
Leaving on lane to completely dry - This frustrates so hard. Picked Kennen into Irelia one game- sure, i was completely aware that without jungle assistance i will hardly solo win it, but picked him for team and later stages anyway. Did even, score was actually 1/1/0 both, jungler didnt come at all. Fine, no problem, i farmed and waited..and waited, and waited. No rotation came. At all, slowly she chiped towers and pushed me in harder, literaly to the tier 3 tower. NOBODY moved from entire team to assist whatsoever 25 minutes into the game. Single moment i moved away to tp into fight (i was quite aware she will keep pressing top, but got really fed up of it)- they pinged and flamed my ass into oblivion for "solo losing the game". Thing is, if you are at least decent in trading, it takes so little to help. Show yourself as jungler, just to scare, come as support to ward a bit around me, move from bot to help me siege. I dont request babbysit, ever...but make that 51% difference. It doesnt take much.
-
Complete refusal to rotate - it is connected to previous issue, but it comes in general. Usually as ive seen, from bot lanes. They will go and siege tier 3, get killed 5 times in a row by being balls deep then repeat it. Instead of taking just few steps to the side, and actually creating even pressure. All the god damn time. I just dont get that single minded approach "its 25+ mins in game" but we are still in laning phase. I dont want to insult good bot laners or anything, but in my expirience that position does this the most (if we exclude hard top spliters).
-
Completely ignoring the vision - It is a team effort. Yes, support and junglers should, and do ward the most, but carries need to start to understand that good defense, or good plays- need to be prepared. If you have that 75 gold, you dont need 3rd pot or cookie - get one tiny control ward.
Im sorry if i ended up creating a entire novel here, it is just my view based on some expirience i have, in what are the major issues in ranked manners and gameplay approach.
