Why did your team lose?

Jakenoff4 votes

You ever seen the movie "Troy"? There is a part at the end of the movie that involves a trojan horse. That is essentially what happened.

Link to the movie I'm talking about: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332452/

So you were outclassed? Because that is a legitimate reason to lose.

A better answer would be something specific, such as that the enemy team had better champ selection, itemization, last hitting, objective control, lane rotations, siege mechanics, warding, and myriad other reasons.

Six year olds cry when they lose a soccer game because the game "wasn't fair."

Gamers who want to get better realize that there are empirical reasons why their enemy was superior, and try to learn and adapt to superior strategies in order to themselves emerge victorious in future games.

He's not complaining about how the game isn't fair though.

He's not saying that he wants to get better.

He's saying that he was paired against people wayyy out of his league, for whatever reason, and he didn't enjoy the game. Stop putting words in his mouth.

If you're not trying to get better at the game, you're wasting your time, and honestly you're wasting your allies' time as well.

The game sucks ass at silver level, no idea why the OP would want to stay there instead of trying to learn from superior enemies and move up in rank.

You mean I should quit the game because I don't play ranked? I played 20 ranked games total in season 5. I have more than one friend that I play with on a daily basis, which eliminates duo queues. I don't have 5 friends that play at the same time or have the schedule to do a 5v5 team. There goes ranked 5's.

We also enjoying playing this game because we find it entertaining. If we weren't having FUN, we wouldn't bother with the game period. Lord forbid we play the game to have FUN instead of playing to get into the LCS. Not everyone can be a pro, not everyone has the desire to be pro.

Considering the Leona was the only person I didn't know in real life or in-game (that was on my team), I'd say we weren't wasting anyone's time since 4 of us queued together.

Also, this was a normal match. It wasn't ranked. I just thought it was funny and thought I should share it. Good job on being a prick though.

don't mind Dr. Martin Luther KIng Jr. of the boards (archonX). He speaks his mind but people don't like that round these parts

I wouldn't compare him to Martin Luther King. I'd say he's somehow a more whinier, elitist Donald Trump. He gets so pissed off at tiny, mundane things.

To be fair, playing games of any kind is a waste of time. You supposedly climbing to Diamond 5 was a waste of time. However, perhaps you gain some enjoyment from it? The point of a game is to have fun playing it. What does it matter if one person's idea of enjoyment is different from yours?

This mentality of yours is pretty much the main reason why every single one of your posts gets downvoted.

People like you clearly don't even have a basic understanding of the point of video games, and it's appalling that so many people like you exist. People play this game for fun and couldn't care less about what rank they are. I got Gold V this season JUST for the ranked rewards, and in future seasons I will get to Gold V and not play any more ranked that season. There's literally no point in going any further than that for me personally. Especially when I have much more fun in Team Builder and ARAM.

Not everyone plays this game with an uber-competitive nature like you, and to suggest that your mentality is right and everyone else's is wrong is incredibly naive and toxic.

What? I didn't complain anywhere. We played a NORMAL, which involved none of us being ranked above gold 5. We were matched with 4 diamonds. It was funny, to see, as we were expecting people at a lower level.

No where did I say the game was unfair. Not sure where you got that from?

You can come out of your shell, no one is going to hurt you.

That moment when ppl think an event is from a movie when it's really part of mythology...

Jakenoff3 votes

I was trying to help put a visual representation to what happened in the game.

Obviously we're taking things serious here. I'll use quantum physics next time to help explain a situation.

Stars Shaper1 votes

Don't take me too harshly :P I was just making a bit of a joke about the situation.

Gotcha. Sarcasm doesn't translate well with only words. :)

Well the Iliad isn't a part of Greek mythology it is a poem written by Homer...

implying diamond 5's are good?

Jakenoff3 votes

I would say no since I was involved in that game and it was completely winnable. The score doesn't show that though.
