How do you handle multiple games with awful teammates?

There has to be something that people do in order to avoid having the most useless teammates matchmaking can put together put on your side vs the enemy's side.

Far too often, my teammates hand the game over to the enemy before I can even impact it.

Some examples would be:

  • Counter picking yourself in champion select.
  • Picking all AD champs in champion select.
  • Picking champions that are out of your skill range.
  • One-tricking a champion and forcing the pick in a bad composition.
  • Bad CSing in lane.
  • Not understanding how minions wave push and consistently setting themselves up to be ganked.
  • Dying alone in the jungle, multiple times.
  • Dying in lane, multiple times.
  • Giving up multiple objectives without reason.

No matter what position I play, it will consistently be multiple other roles, checking off multiple items from above (and others) pre-15 minutes.

This leads into further bad decisions by my teammates and thus suckering me into this type of gameplay. I can easily ignore it and pad my KDA, let the overpowered enemy team push me to the nexus and win, however, it's a matter of sunk costs, I've had to lock my time into this match, I might as well monkey play the same in order to TRY and make the game last 50 minutes in order to make the game come down to 1 fight that can go either way for the win. This is just not optimal, nor is it whatsoever fun knowing you're game comes down to stalling it out so it comes down to a knifes edge.

Yes. My stats are shit, especially on this account, it's not a main. Yes, my play is not perfect BUT when I'm actually trying, I run into this predicament FAR too often, which is simply just tilting. Bad play by my teammates rubs off on me and I end up playing bad in turn. When my teammates are playing good and I don't mean carrying, I just mean, NOT giving the enemy team the game, I play good. So, please, don't turn this on me.

How do you fix this, handle this, correct this?

Some solutions I thought of would be:

  • Joining a 5 man team and only playing with them with voice comms.
  • Buying a Masters account so the amount of players I play with is significantly lower and thus chances of having awful teammates is much smaller. This has the added benefit of playing against stronger opponents and thus being in an environment to improve.
  • Creating better AI than intermediate bots, hacking my teammates computers and implementing my AI to control their champions instead of them.
  • Spend most of my in-game time teaching my teammates instead of playing the game (likely will result in mass flaming and tilting, nobody is seemingly open to suggestions in-game).
  • Quitting league because it's breeds toxicity and is inherently an awful experience as a solo player (being that it's a team game without voice comms built in).

I simply do not know. Help, please.

Or you know... learn to let things go... or get over it... or stop taking a video game so seriously.

I agree.

Well I don't. Here's why:

You read the title only (its obvious considering how small, meaningless and unhelpful your comment is)

OP isn't even whining he is asking help on having teammates that tilt him to no end.

You justified much harassment and etc. because you don't need to take the game seriously when someone threatens you

OP admits he isn't an angel by admitting his stats are bad so you're being inconsiderate

No, what OP did was blame everyone else for his mistakes. He only does bad when his team does bad? If he team doesn't do bad he is good? Please. Cry me a river.

There has to be something that people do in order to avoid having the most useless teammates matchmaking can put together put on your side vs the enemy's side.

This is all I need to know about OP. He doesn't respect other players. And he blames them for most, if not all, of his losses.

So yes, my advice was to get over it.

team doesn't do bad he is good

he just said he is bad as well, can u read

This is all I need to know about OP

he didn't say all his teammates are useless, only asking how to avoid useless teammates which has nothing wrong in it. also, not surprising considering ur behavior that you'd say "This is all I need to know about OP"

He doesn't respect other players

irony

And he blames them for most

You aren't him, he has to say that directly you cant just pull that out of your ass.

if not

again, out of your ass.

So yes, my advice was to get over it

which is the shittiest advice that some reason you think qualifies as helpful

"get over your mom dying dude"

you cant say that's different because its pretty much the same thing

"9/11 was probably staged anyway get over it, ur dad was just unlucky"

You need to earn my respect. It's earned by being a competent player. Why would I blindly give respect away, it loses value in doing so.
