Just check my last game. The hecarim litearlly said in chat "Im not contesting another drag" He then inted and blatantly let them push mid in.
I am so sick of it not mattering how good you play anymore when one person is actively deciding the outcome of the game.
Jonesybones1 votesListen, do you want to become diamond someday? why? whats the point? its just a rank and its just a game. Thats the way I look at it. There's really no point in being good at the game anyways or getting upset. Just have fun. :)
Boo Koo God2 votesIt is fun until someone just loses you the game because the feel like it.

i understand. but just report that person. and move on. its all you can do.
Boo Koo God2 votesYes, it is but just today this is the third time I've lost due to someone like hecarim. Im tired of it. Im not always the best player on the team but im never actively ruining the whole game for everyone.

Because competitive settings are fun and when people do not want to be competitive in the "Competitive game mode" it kills the fun.
Why do i even have to explain this.

If this is advertised as the biggest eSport on the planet, it should play like it. Right now solo queue feels like the most blatant practice in competitive coin flipping I've ever seen. Even games like Pokemon have more competitive integrity than this game when I at least know that there's a 0% chance that someone will come out the bushes and just force me to lose the match.

pokemon games you don't have to carry a team and have much less decision making and bigger window to strategize. League you have to think on your feet. There are streamers and vids on youtube who do unranked to diamond. In soloQ how do you think they do it? luck? no. they are very good at the game. They learned how to carry through the ranks.
I have heard rom a diamond streamer that d1-d2 is a coin flip though because thats where the skill becomes very minisqule. Also noone forces you to lose the match. its a team effort. And theres always something you can do better. Theres always something you can do to help your team and this goes for each lane.

Full stop. No one's concerned about people playing poorly. I'm concerned with people intentionally giving up games, intentionally being uncooperative or combatant with their teammates, and/or afk'ing games to make people lose. No one's talking about randoms that lose team games. That happens in all team games. My issue is the toxicity of this community making solo queue a horrible experience. People are too concerned with their ego to just play League of Legends and it's been getting worse every season. Even super minor one-liners that are slightly aggressive can turn into a full blown loss because someone gets THAT MAD over a cannon minion or a scuttler. THAT shit is the problem.
The streamers that go from unranked to whatever-the-fuck are all carry players and/or they duo games. Not everyone plays carry champions to abuse this cesspool of a community, and not everyone has a duo to reliably call on for solo queue games.

and what I'm telling you if you want to play with ppl who have a grasp on the game, to get out of bronze or silver you have to abuse the enemy team with champions that can pub stomp players who make a lot of mistakes which is anyone s3 and below. Even then if you return to the champs you want to play, you still have to become good enough to carry in soloq. because the higher you go the better your decision making has to be in a team environment.

I'm not Bronze or Silver for that to pertain to me.

Having played VGC in Pokemon the RNG is a huge part of the game.
Whoever gets the crits, the one turn wake ups, the lucky freezes, etc is usually going to win.
As far as integrity goes, it's getting a lot better. But in the early years, pokecheck and other cheating sites enabled people to get perfect mons that couldn't be detected by the anti cheating software. So if you weren't stupid enough to make a mon with stats beyond the maximum or with a move it was impossible for it to have, you could cheat all you wanted pretty much. It really had no integrity to it.

I already know the details, and the point of VGC is to set up your team to not need the RNG factors in the game in order to win. Beginner/Intermediate players are the ones that lean more on RNG. People that advance beyond that think of comps and strategies that do more than pray for paralysis ticks.

MiracleMorg941 votesI feel you. I've had so many games like that, the most recent one where I went 18-3 as Jinx but our LEONA JUNGLER decided to make awful decisions and go in before we were ready. Cost us the game.
I miss seasons 4-5 where this crap didn't happen. Where games like mine I would've won instead of lost. Instead of the fed person deciding the outcome, we have the feeding one deciding it, and it needs to stop.
Jonesybones1 votesyou are plat 2. That definitely still pertains to you. Have a league coach look over your replays. There is a discord called clash zone that is very helpfull in league tips. There are master players and diamonds. You are making mistakes that is preventing you from climbing. I assure you.
