This is why I hate Ranked
Wish I had the chat, but I don't so I'll just try to recount it all.
It all began in champ select, where we had a duo simultaneously call "ADC Only" and "Brand Support." I don't really mind it much, as long as they play well and are tolerable. I just let it slide. I was second pick, and stated that I prefered JG. Third pick wanted it, so I asked what was left. I told everyone that I wasn't very good at mid, but I still gave third pick jungle and hoped I could hold my own.
The game started, I had picked Kayle and ended up laning against a Talon. The first few minutes went fine, until we got into a little skirmish that ended in me giving up first blood. I hadn't realized he had ignite... but that's beside the point.
At this point, I got a bit of constructive criticism to stay further back and just farm. I went to lane, and farmed around the middle of the lane.
With Ekko Jungle assistance, Talon landed a few more kills on me. He was starting to get fed, but I managed to pick up a kill botlane with teleport and then die to Talon (again.)
At this point, whenever I came up to CS he would jump on me and kill me. This left me with very few options, so I was just trying to stay under tower while picking up minimal CS.
Up to this point, my team had been relatively helpful in trying to get me to win lane. At about 12 minutes, the constructive criticism changed to destructive.
My team would tell me to farm and not roam and not fight, but then I'd get flamed for farming instead of fighting. I spent the rest of the game swapping between farming and fighting with the team and getting flamed regardless.
By the end, my team was asking the enemy team to report me for feeding (which in itself is punishable, I know) and flaming me for being a bad midlaner. Even the person I gave jungle to made a point to state that I "picked mid" and that it was my fault that we lost. I was told to never play ranked again, and to uninstall.
In the post game screen, I mentioned to our ADC that I didn't have much experience laning and that at best I can only stay even with an opponent. I also mentioned the fact that I'm a jungle main, and I was only met with more toxicity.
He told me that I suck at jungling and that in order to be able to jungle I have to be able to lane first. He also pulled the "i'm a diamond smurf" card... oh well. Rather than keep arguing, I reported the majority of my team for harrassment and left.
Tl;Dr if I give you my preferred position and suck in one that I don't play, give me some slack... ight?
