"It's Not Your Team. It's You"

when will you boosted monkeys realize that no one takes you seriously when you say this?

silver 4 nasus rushing spirit visage vs a graves top? silver 4 morg taking 40+ cs early game so i'm sweating to keep up with their ADC? at the same time gives a few free kills so i can be more behind? brain dead warwick camping a losing lane (top), giving 0 jg pressure the entire game? and you guessed it -- HE ALSO RUSHED SPIRIT VISAGE. katarina was DECENT but couldn't do shit against enemy's cc.

and the answer i get is "it's not your teammates, it's you. you have to go back and look at the game to see your mistakes. you could have turned it around if you played better."

oh, i love this one: "find yourself a partner to climb." then what the fuck is the point of solo Q? also, did you just imply that being boosted is the only way to climb? lmfao.

and please don't tell me "there will be bad games." ultimately, it's just not fun carrying neanderthals. just admit that this game is a complete clownfest. and stop trying to defend rito's shitty matchmaking system.

Ah well. You win some. You lose more. At least that's what I've noticed.

Except when the game fucks you in the ass so hard it also seems like it's forcing losses onto you

I still don't fully understand the term boosted since people seem to use it in 4 different contexts. Still, playing with someone else isn't cheating. it's just reducing the chance of getting idiots.

Also, don't play Draven.

BIG BAD AXE MAN2 votes

sure, and it's a huge advantage versus playing with 5 randoms. but it's still technically a "boost" because you're using other methods/resources (voicechat, etc.) to give yourself an advantage. you're not truly showing 100% of your skills, especially when your partner is much better than you.

draven is the only thing that is putting the "fun" in league atm.

"Don't play the number one champ for solo-steam rolling enemy teams as a marksman, if ANY marksman."

Draven is a great champ, and a good lane stomper... but u need lv minimum. btw boosted in silver-bronze is a joke.

RookPusher2 votes

I assume it means carried.

First of all, where's your QSS? If Amumu could just "walk up to you" every single fight then why exactly do you not have a qss for his ult nor q?

Second of all, your Katarina did more damage than you and you're a DPS adc blaming your team.

Third, your cs is abominable, everybody elses was too but there's something to work on. It was a 35 minute long game and you didn't even get above 200 cs.

You placed the least wards in the entire game while you could easily place more and hardcarry due to your superior vision.

Just a small list of things you could've done to have a larger chance of winning.

Also, downvoted for toxicity and aggressive behaviour towards people reading this.

let me know when you survive a team fight with a qss while you're a glass cannon and the enemy has malph AND mumu.

Second of all, your Katarina did more damage than you and you're a DPS adc blaming your team.

ok? what is the point of this statement?

Third, your cs is abominable, everybody elses was too but there's something to work on. It was a 35 minute long game and you didn't even get above 200 cs.

are you reading my fucking post? morg took 40+ cs during early game. she was autoing the minions and using her W. what the fuck do you expect me to do? afk farm while the team gets melted in under a second?

You placed the least wards in the entire game while you could easily place more and hardcarry due to your superior vision.

"wards will MAGICALLY carry your games" LOL. do you not see my blue trinket? it has a higher CD than warding totem. see that 1 drag? it was due to my blue trinket+ult cause nobody warded objectives. wards doesn't magically carry games when you have 0 jg control. basically you are clearly boosted.

l2p u have summoner 4 +item 3140 they won't be a problem. mind ur positioning.

buy pin... ward vision. And yeah Ward CARRY games, thats what make the difference between extra low elo and low elo

Escheton3 votes

All I am seeing is a total of 8 wards placed. On a 5 item, 180+ cs champion.

Also, I can't tell who the jungler was. Could be an ap champ that ganks well. Thus justifying the Spirit Visage.

DuskDaUmbreon1 votes

I'm gonna assume Amumu. So SV would save you in that instance, as it'd give you the sustain and ability to live.

Handy Sandy 3 votes

spirit visage wasn't a bad choice, amumu, azir, and malphite all do good amounts of magic dmg. Also gives him the sustain cause his lifesteal. Since you were so strong though, you didn't manage to use them as shields while you kill everyone? Or at least splitpush?

BIG BAD AXE MAN2 votes

LOL spirit visage was a terrible choice...are you trolling? look at enemy AD damage. and damage > sustain.

i couldn't do shit because they were getting MELTED, due to buying SPIRIT VISAGE, rather than armor + HP. there was 0 peel so mumu was just walking up to me every team fight.

chipndip16 votes

His enemy laner was GRAVES. Spirit Visage is fine. Spirit Visage AS A FIRST ITEM is stupid on either WW or Nasus.

Thief of Space1 votes

Id only ever get a SV first on Nasus if the enemy top laner was Teemo and their mid was an ap also. There was no reason at all to get it first against a Graves.

DuskDaUmbreon1 votes

Or Ekko. I've seen him top a few times...

Incarceration3 votes

Alternate your builds, you stupid animal. You are a DPS AD carry who obviously has to carry this into the late game, yet you fking go 3 lethality items instead of triple crit qss.

BIG BAD AXE MAN2 votes

eh, crit draven is pretty disgusting but i'm taking advantage of the lethality build until it gets roflnerfed. plus rushing IE wasn't giving enough impact versus lethality route.

Sun Wu Ryuumoku1 votes

roflnerfed... yeah its not as it was already the case [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Incarceration2 votes

Well guess what? You deserved to lose if you didn't realize you had to carry using an actual AD carry build when they had two tanks, and fed teammates.

RE103 votes

Lucian did 38k damage, you did 24k damage.

If you can't keep up it's your problem, to put it simply, get good or get out.

Can't get more fed then their graves? Get good.

Can't get more fed then their lucian? Get good.

If you think blaming your team will help you get good, you're fucked.

Stars Shaper1 votes

He is just saying that things would be fairer if it wasn't a 2vs8.

I really despise ppl saying "it's your problem" when that guy was in a situation where his impact was negatively influenced by his own team mates in an undeniable way.

Better nerf Spirit Visage.

because you won't have this in every game and if you're stuck while playing 500 games then this is YOU not your team

Sun Wu Ryuumoku2 votes

Bronze 1-low silver... same sh*t.

Anyway wtf ur build ??? change this !!!

"it's not your teammates, it's you. you have to go back and look at the game to see your mistakes. you could have turned it around if you played better."

Its true... And if not in this game, its not what prevent u to climb.

silver 4 morg taking 40+ cs early game so i'm sweating to keep up with their ADC?

you were Draven... just go f*cking kill Lucian... a lucian without support btw.

and please don't tell me "there will be bad games." ultimately, it's just not fun carrying neanderthals. just admit that this game is a complete clownfest. and stop trying to defend rito's shitty matchmaking system.

u play in bronze, what did u expect ??? btw if u play if monkey its not for nothing, ask yourself*[slayer-jinx-unamused]*

LankPants2 votes

"It's not your team, it's you" is only applicable over a decent sample size. I've played games where my team were complete monkeys and it was unwinnable, shit happens.

What people mean when they say this is that your teams aren't causing you to have a 46% win rate, maybe your teams account for 40% of your wins and 40% of your losses, you have control over the other 20 or so %. You aren't ceasing the wins that you could be getting in these games you can impact properly.

NotSpecialDude2 votes

Gonna be that guy and point out that "it's not your teammates, it's you" :p

All jokes aside, the intention of this poorly written phrase is to focus on your own faults. Let's be blunt, you could point out every flaw of your teammates but they won't have any effect for your next game.

From my perceptive, your fault is building lethality when a.) you were stomping your lane. b.) Your team was losing the early game and you needed to stage this to late where lethality loses to crit. It's not the biggest flaw, and compared to your team it's harmless, but since this was your mistake it's the only one you can fix

BIG BAD AXE MAN1 votes

i see that the lethality build wasn't as effective as crit build. but i still don't see how it's my fault that we lost, as mentioned in OP. it's not my fault that our brusiers rushed MR rather than armor. it's not my fault that we had 0 jg control. it's not my fault that susan continued to fight graves instead of farming. the list goes on and on.

i did my part. i played my role. and garbage feedback like "it's still your fault that you lost the game" pisses me off because it's just not true. but there seems to be this strange phenomenon that convincing yourself that it's your fault (when it wasn't) makes you better. what? how the fuck does that sense? humility is one thing. being retarded is another.

NotSpecialDude1 votes

I think I spoke my point poorly as you seem to think that I blamed you for this loss.

It wasn't your fault that you lost and I can clearly see that, it didn't matter if you build crit or lethality, your front line was retarded. There was nothing you could have done. My intention was to say that it doesn't help you to linger on the faults of others. There will be games where you will be grouped with players worse then you, and there will be games where you are the worst player on your team. You have no control over that.

What you do have control over is your own build and playstyle. Hence why I focused on that. You need to see where you messed up and unless your challenger there will always be something you could have improved. It could a major thing like, "I die too much" or "I should cs more" to something more minute things like "I should have built crit" or "I should have warded dragon when I had the chance."

You need to accept when a game's result isn't your fault and its beyond your power to change, BUT you also need to see what is within your power to change and focus on that. Because there will be games where you will be in the same position that nasus was in this game, and that's just as unavoidable as games where your in the graves position.

Thief of Space1 votes

tbh play mid/top/jungle to gold, if you stomp hard in mid or top you can easily snowball the rest of the game depending on who you play as in lower ranks. I played Draven to gold 5 but my last few matches were starting to become hard with the enemies camping me because Draven taunts junglers by existing in game.

Also >Nasus in 2017 lul

BIG BAD AXE MAN2 votes

i feel i get more tilted by playing mid/top...what champs do you suggest for top? and if i don't ADC, there is going to be someone on my team who will feed the shit out of the full lethality enemy ADC.

Id play Quinn top mostly because shes an adc who is annoying af to deal with and can manage well vs the common top laners.

Oleandervine1 votes

If you were going against tankier characters (Graves, Malphite, Amumu) where is your counter to that? Lethality is nice and all, but if you're not cranking out high amounts of raw damage, you can't deal with tanks that well. Malphite and Amumu were stacking HP, you should have built Lord Dominik's Regards for the damage boost and the armor pen, and then gone full crit.
