They are a pile of living gold for the enemy team that you have to defend. Don't expect anything from them and if they occasionally did something that benefits you appreciate it.
If everyone has this mentality in yolo queue then probably gonna feel much better about bad teammates.
KyroRayne89 votesI do treat them like towers. I abandon them when 2+ other players are attacking them. I expect them to die very quickly when left alone with minions. I find it funny when they just stand there and take damage while trying to attack a minion rather than the enemy attacking them.
The Deckowner20 votes[zombie-brand-clap] nothing more than upvote
UnderscorBunnies2 votesI think that they're all useless unless the enemies make some massive mistake and spoonfeed them kills off of a silver platter.
EvilRabbitt2 votesWhat if you get someone who plays like me that can disable 1+ people in a fight? (despite that not working in bronze. :C struggles) Would you stay and kill them one by one while I kept you alive?
[slayer-jinx-catface] IF SO I GOT YOUR BACK :D
KyroRayne1 votesI main Leona as support. I learn very quickly whether I trust my adc or not XD
Normally I'm the disable/cc champ because I love playing tanky champs.
However, I noticed that most people can't grasp the concept of "I AM STALLING THEM SO YOU CAN RUN AWAY! STOP TRYING TO RE-ENGAGE!!!! Now you died. Why don't you take the hint and run when I back ping you?"
Now to answer you question, if I trusted you to be able to cc them while I damaged them and vice-versa, of course. I've gotten multi-kills as Leona a lot, mainly because my ADC would die doing something dumb and I'd clean up >.>;

is my fave one :D Bubble, give your adc bubbles, throw out healing waves of bubbles... :D Feels good.
StealthWarden3 voteslike he said man..youre a tower, if the tower focuses a champion we attack that champion
Athenes Lulu15 votesLike towers they are unreliable, but you still have to work to make sure they are not dying. Shitty towers exist in every game, like your teammates. Sometimes they do what you want them to do. Etc...
This is now my favorite thread of the month, +1 for the wise words.
The Deckowner21 votesat least towers dont go afk like ur teammates lol
Athenes Lulu8 votesWould trade an afk for an extra tower as compensation any day tbh.
Unstoppable Monk13 votesThis doesn't make any sense. Teammates don't die in two hits, unlike towers.
The Deckowner5 votes[zombie-brand-clap] True
Athenes Lulu3 votesThey do when the enemies are fed, or just got caught in a 1v5.
TotalJerk1 votesYou've clearly never seen them feed a Juggernaut.
Unstoppable Monk1 votesThe things that die in four hits?
McAnnex12 votesGood point since they usually stand there and mindlessly attack the closest targets also.
The Deckowner3 votesI know many unskilled/inexperienced players use the "auto attack" feature in the options that automatically makes their champion attack the closest unit in range of an aa.
the Anarchit3cht2 votesThe only thing I use it for is to check for wards lol. If you're in a bush and it makes you attack outside of the bush then its warded. If you don't, then its not.
Billy VoHagen12 votesTowers don't run into the enemy.
Celestial Lion126 votesMy teammates can survive more then 3 autoattacks
The Deckowner6 votes
really?
(if any champ actually build dis shit they can really kill people with 1 auto)
KyroRayne4 votes
Ok
The Deckowner6 votesnever faced the terror of ap master yi?
KyroRayne3 votesAP Tryn
Ariel the Cruel3 votesAP Xin.
Sire Hippington6 votesif everyone had this exact mentality, most games would be 60+ min stallfests, as no one would ever try to do anything pro active, since his walking piles of gold could die over it, or you die and they do nothing.
You need a delicate mindset where you** don't expect anything** from them, but hope for something.
The Deckowner3 voteswhat i was trying to promo is just dont depend on ur teammates, carry urself.
Sire Hippington2 votesThe problem is that this is a 5vs5 game, carring all by your self only works if the skillgap between you and your opponents is rather huge. The sad truth is that you DO depend on your mates whether you want it or not. Ofc you should try to carry as well as you can, but at some point you need to trust in your teamates. The best games i had where not only when i trusted my teammates and they delivered, but even more so those in which i felt my teamates trust in me. The kind of games where i can go for a rather risky engage and know my team will follow up on it, and for such games one needs a more open and posiitive mindset, though the delicate part is that you need to manage your expectations to not be disabpointed if your mates reveal them self as towers.
Ariel the Cruel3 votesThis is support 101. Be nice if people would actually attend that class. :/
Dataless2 votesI can even 
ulti them to put them in time out!
Dataless2 votesThis thread is probably the best thing I've read all day.
JESUSSAYSNO2 votesyep, pretty much. The way soloque works is you play your hardest, and your score is compared with your teammates' and enemies'. Sometimes you don't win, but if you're preforming your hardest, that's all you can do. I've adapted the 40/40/20 attitude towards soloque. 40% of games you get carried by your team, 40% you loose because of your team, and 20% of games are directly on you to carry. I've found myself really a lot less frustrated at soloque since i started thinking less along the lines of 'I need to win this game no matter what' and more along the lines of 'okay, so here's what I can do in this situation, lets make the most of it'.
I can dish out 45k damage on amumu (who i've been maining) and land all the 4 man ults in the game, but hey if i don't have the help from the rest of my team, I'll just mark it down as a loss on them, not on me. I know that I can lock the enemy team down and do fantastic aoe damage in teamfights. I provide the situations in which we win teamfights and from there, it's all on the teammates. I've done everything I can to enable them in the fight. From there the lp loss is less about me so much as my allies. Will they let me carry them, or will they choose to loose?
Either way, I know that I'm climbing with my current playstyle, and hey, if i loose a few games, it doesn't matter, you can't carry them all, nobody else matters but me and my proformence. As long as I'm the MVP in every lost game with most gold and most damage dealt(with a tank build), I know with 100% certainty that I did everything i could in my situation and it proved to be too much. And as soon as I start stalling out and not preforming, well, that's on me, and I don't deserve to climb until I get better at the game.
KoKoboto2 votesAn amusing analogy +1 [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
P4ppino2 votesNo wonder that u are so low on the ladder with this mindset. Good luck climbing up! [slayer-jinx-wink]
56552559_DEL2 votesI somewhat agree but i have to disagree more than agree. I have been having so many matches lately where my teammates would just yolo dive the other team without vision, wards, and teammates to back them up.
Sorry but im not going to help defend a Tryndamere who starts yolo diving as soon as he hits 6 and im not going to help defend a Quinn who speeds out of base with ult, right into FoW that has no vision right into a 5 man death bush. (both of these happened btw).
The Deckowner1 votesu abandon ur tower when u are ournumbered, same with teammates
56552559_DEL2 votesDont get me wrong, if I have teammates that are legit having a bad game or getting outplayed, i will try my hardest to help them in lane or jg. But if I get people who straight up willingly dive headfirst into the other team or go out for a walk in the FoW without vision and without knowing where the other team is, they are on their own and at that point you know you already lost the match since they refuse to stop feeding.
Mhihnj1 votesI type yolo no regrets in champ select when i am trying out new champs just to let my teammates know
56552559_DEL1 voteswell you shoudlnt be doing that in the first place. they have bot matches for a reason. i dont like people taking first time champs into pvp because that is just another instance that the team has to work extra hard to carry you. if you were to take the champ to bots first to learn the mechanics and abilities for a couple of matches THEN take it pvp, i wouldnt have a problem, but you blindly going into a pvp match with a champ you literally dont know how to use will NOT make your team happy and will get you reported.
Mhihnj1 votesi play the champs after playing them with bots a couple of times. I just warn them that this is my first time in actual pvp. And yeah, I am not bad on my vision and laning phase(i usually have at least 95 cs by 15 minutes), but unless i am jungling my roams are pretty bad.
56552559_DEL1 votesThen i have no problem with that lol.
most people i play with actually are stupid enough to play first time champs in pvp which in the end makes us either ff@20 or make us claw and scrape our way to a win that would have been easier had that player gone to bots first to get to know their champ.
TotalJerk2 votesI have legit flamed my turrets in allchat when the AI failed me.
Trufflie1 voteswe've all been there
Occams Raiser2 votesNegative mentality.
Rikari1 votesI wish when they died they never came back too
Malfini1 votesYour mentality regarding SoloQ players is too one-sided.
Try viewing the situation on the SoloQ players' vantage point.
Strawberrycocoa1 votesSo, abandon them when multiple enemies gang up on them, because staying to defend it will just feed a kill for no productive reason?
