How do you prevent your team from throwing?

Zombiephil··4 votes·7,637 views

So it seems like my teams always throw the game. It's getting really annoying. The worst part is, they always throw in the worst and dumbest ways possible.

Here are just some examples of the recent ways my teams have thrown: -Zed sitting in jungle pinging Baron when we aced the enemy team. Had he been there to kill (he was fed), we would've killed the Nexus. Instead, Amumu comes out and ults us and we lose the game because Zed spam pinged Baron while the enemy was down and we were killing their base. -Yi running straight up lane thinking he is unkillable. Tries to 1v3 and instantly dies. -A team that just simply decided that a 5v4 is a guaranteed win and decides to mess around after getting a huge lead early. Diana catches my teammates roaming around trying to "farm" enemy for kills, or just running around in the jungle instead of pushing for the enemy base. Yeah, a 5v4 that we lost. -The Inhibitor Throw - Our fed ADC Ashe is dead, enemy Fizz is fed, yet my team decides to engage in a 4v5 in an attempt to stop the enemy from killing the inhib. 3 of them die, Inhib also, and we lose the game. Do people seriously believe the Inhibitor shoots missiles like turrets, or do they just think they absolutely have to save an inhib? -Another Yi, starts off strong, then believes he is unkillable and continuously tries to engage in 1v3s (Doesn't this sound familiar?). He did this about..uh 7 times? Enemy Fizz got caught up and eventually the entire enemy team as well. So he starts something like 9-4-5, finishes 12-13-8.
-A Jax that decides to leave the team and go farm the jungle. Instantly gets caught chasing the Rift Scuttler near drag. Dragon wasn't even going to be up for another 4 minutes. Same game, he chooses to solo Baron while the enemy is in our base. Then he engages in a 2v5 when the rest of the team was about to come up. -Team decides not to try to take enemy base when there were 4 enemies on 40+ second respawns. We had our entire team up. The enemy then comes up, and oh yeah.. the Baron Throw. Wukong and Thresh choose to do baron alone, without our adc, without the rest of the team. Janna comes over to place a ward, followed by 2 enemies teleporting in, and even then, they choose not to try to escape but instead to finish baron. They miss by a good 1500 hp on the Baron and both die, enemy takes baron, then my 2 other teammates choose to try to steal and both die. I was unable to stop the enemy in a 1v5 in our base. -This happened about 4 times, a team that focused enemy Shen or Thresh and lost team fights over and over again.

And that's ONLY 11 or 12 of the 25 times my teams have thrown in ranked.. out of my 94 losses in ranked. More than 1/4 of my losses come from throws. And that's not even counting the 15 more times where my team almost threw. Seriously, how do you stop your team from making dumb mistakes like the ones I listed above and throwing the game? And the worst part is, it's always my team, never the enemy. The enemy always knows who to focus, the right time to Baron, not to dive into 2v5s. WHY? WHY? WHY?

And also, why do you think I remember all the details? Because these all happened recently.

althought the linked video was nice there isnt always something you CAN do.. i had a game just yesterday where we had a "REALLY good" yasuo who i pick ed reksai jungle as to compltement his ulti. we got him really fed everyone had a few kills but yasuo was our carry can had about 9 kills more than anyone else.

then this "really good" yauso intentionality threw the game. he stoped ulting when i knocked them up and waited for the other 4 of us to die before trying to solo the other 5.

while while the video was good it donest help you if your support and it donest help of your teammte is INTENTIONALLY throwing the game.

that game made me lost my promos to silver 4... i did win the next 3 games and i got promted to silver 4 anyways. but had that yasuo not thrown i would be at 60 lp in silver 4 instead of zero

You just reminded me of the game where my duo intentionally threw when I was about to get to Bronze 2 (after being a Bronze 5 just a few weeks back). Yeah nothing stops intentional-anything. Intentional feeding, throwing, trolling. That's just the LoL community. All I do is report and move on.

Not sure If im going to help or not but my advice is to tell your team exactly what to do, have you tired that? tell them to ward,tell them to push,splitpush,group,go for the enemy base, you have to be kind of like a team captain most of your teammates with probably listen others wont in any of the throws did you tell the team what you were thinking to secure a win for your team? after you ace the team you can simply say "ok we aced them lets push mid and end the game"

You see, that's what is getting me frustrated. I do this the moment our lead shrinks even one bit. I'm like, "Guys, let's not throw. Group mid/split push/etc..." yet someone proceeds to chase the 0/9/13 Blitzcrank only to die and be taken out for a good 70 seconds, or everyone scatters and runs around the jungle despite all my pings and chatting.

First of all you cant do anything about throws besides play harder and communicate more. Good luck.

Second I dont believe you have every loss memorized and know exactly how many are throws. BS.

I used to keep a ranked diary to avoid just bitching on the forums after every game. I'm sure other people must do something similar.

Neither of you are being helpful so I ask you nicely both to leave right now and not reply to this post. I'm really getting sick of meaningless replies to my posts. DrNova, me remembering all my throws doesn't matter does it? All I want to know is how to stop my teams from throwing. The numbers were rough estimates, except for the 94 losses. But again, does it matter? Just leave the details alone. Plus, you can't prove whether I can memorize the throws or not, so just keep quiet about it. I have good memory, and about 8 or 9 of those occurred in the past 2 weeks, and these throws kind of hurt, so it's not hard to remember. And Poke12345, post something constructive or don't log on to the Boards again. If you disagree with what DrNova or Solidair3 said, please be constructive and say why you disagree instead of just posting nonsense. And also, do not post in slang. It makes you look dumb. We are not in game so you are not rushing to type so you can get back to playing and helping your team, therefore there is no need for slang. It is "you're", not "ur", and calling people "jerks" and "dumb" does not help with this topic at all.

No, for me, welcome to the League community, where trolls like you continue to make useless posts to annoy me. Scratch that. I've already been welcomed to the league community, a good 18 months ago, where people like you do certain things in game and on the boards to piss me off. It took me 5 seconds to figure out this community was toxic. My friends warned me before I started, and I got flamed by some smurf dude in my first bot game. I've been welcomed to everything in the LoL community, no need for you to re-welcome me. Thanks for making an easy name to remember, I'll make sure to scroll past it everytime I see it, because your posts aren't worth me wasting 3 seconds of my life. Rito please give us a block/mute button for the forums. I think I've made it clear enough that I'm ignoring you, so how about you move on in life instead of sitting here trying to annoy me? Is it that hard to not post on my conversation?

I've reported you - that's enough. I ask for help and how to stop teammates from throwing and I get you nitpicking details and then trolling and spamming unnecessary messages when asked to stop. You're the one with issues since you clearly have nothing better to do than troll people on the forums. How hard is it not to post trash on my topic?

THANK YOU. This is exactly my point about him. DrNova, if you're not going to contribute to the topic, then why bother posting? Do you have anything better to do than troll people on the forums all day I wonder... I asked you to stop posting stuff that wasn't helpful, yet you continue. Thanks to the 97% of people on this topic who actually contributed. Those were actually some good reads. Especially the mystery gift one. Sadly 3% won't follow suit and would prefer to be jerks.

Poke, explain to me how calling us jerks (when he is the only one trolling) contributes to my topic, how to stop teams from throwing. You as well should get lost. You're just as bad if not worse than him. And once again, posting in slang just makes you look dumb. I really don't understand why people troll the forums.

I think the best way to not throw games is playing well, in the most nonsarcastic way possible I say this. People naturally seek to be lead by people who they think they can depend on. For low elo try picking a champion that has great carrying potential, or a strong laning phase, roles I would recommend for this strategy are bot, mid, and jungle as these champions have a tendency of dishing out the most damage. A strong laner like Kog ma or graves can give you a really good start, take advantage of this and start giving orders with your lead bark commands to take objectives, because when you fall into mid-late game those other Champs may scale up to you, so that global gold from drag, rift Herald and tower will make a world of difference and will keep you ahead. If this doesn't work duo que with someone who has the same mindset as you, communicate with this person you're a lot more dependable over a mic, and it's much easier to take objectives and team fight when everyone is on the same page, also make sure you look at timers for drag, rift, or as well as baron. If you're ahead and you go to take one of these objectives as an entire team you should have little to no trouble taking these objectives and winning your team fithts, I hope this helped, good luck in the rift

To all of you saying "You're bad, you can carry every game if you want" no. No, fuck you. I dare you to fucking win a game when your ADC keeps pushing without vision, when your top laner engages from behind when the team still is in base. I dare you to win a game when your supports shields you from Soraka's Q, and when the ADC attacks you "she's on cd". Right now I'm playing support, I asked Renekton to help me stealing blue. Vi arrives, we kill her and he leaves even if I pinged him again. Yasuo arrives, rene ignore 4 pings and come when I'm at 25%, he escapes. Zed arrives, renek calmly takes minions ,I bring zed under our tower, and renek flashes only to get the kill after I died. My ADC said she couldn't farm while I was in lane, with me zoning vayne and spotting vi's ganks. When alone, she fed a fuck ton. Even if I was useless I laned some 4-man shockwaves that won us teamfights (almost 3v5 everytime). Shaco just afk farmed, but hey he got "full build". We managed to win 'cause they started focusing me instead of the 'carries' (who knows why) . So yes,unless your enemies are wrse than your team,you can't carry alone. The only way I fund is to shit talk who's sucking assed,getting the rest of your time on your side and try to capitalize. Fuck you and all your "friendly behaviour", that doesn't work. All you have to do is show others they suck, so they'll start following your orders and eventually do something good.

Ok Im currently also have the same issue as you, I tried to ping and communicate very hard, but my team just isn't listening. But sometimes things work out, so here are some of my tips :

Use vision - Help teamate avoid getting killed even when they tried to go solo

Tell them that we will get thrown if they keep playing like that

Threaten to report them for inting ( Yi go 1v3) - make them play safer

Be a support and just follow your team around ( will work most of the time if your team is fed)

Try to ping ALOT!! If someone is pinging baron, ping the nexus! Ping when the enemy is gonna respawn, ping about if the enemy team is doing baron, ping about warding,etc

Tell them that baron doesn't matter if we win, and if someone STILLL wants to solo baron, tell them to ward - so he/she can get vision and your team can teleport to in case something went wrong. ( in my latest game we can just easily group and end but aatrox decided that he wants to solo baron and got killed while the enemy got baron, obviously, we got thrown.)

In conclusion, if you got thrown, don't get mad, just calmly address them about their mistake and say its ok just learn from their mistake. Most of the time they will honor you and won't do dumb things again. :)

This often happens in low elo like silver and bronze because players don't get too serious about the game and just want to try things.
