Bronze teamwork is literally the most beautiful thing

FI sarge··39 votes·5,135 views

I am by no means a "pro" or even good player in my own personal opinion, I mean I usually win lane more than I lose, but nothing very skilled. I really appreciate everyone in bronze that actually is willing to listen to people, I win almost 100% (probably literally 9/10 games) when people listen. WE can be down 40-20, have lost every lane, but the beautifullll part of bronze is people ALWAYS make mistakes you can literally COUNT on a game-changing mistake, you just have to hope your team+yourself picks up on it and reacts smartly. Example, an enemy goes into our jungle alone late game cause he thinks, oh well we're winning by a lot no harm, we catch him and can turn for a push to win, things like that.

The main point of this post is a shout out to every single one of you actual teamwork players, people who not only listen but are willing to take intiate and make calls themselves, I am extremely proud of my last game because we were arguing and being bitter and almsot everyone of us was ready to surrender, but I caught a glimpse on my minimap of two enemys warding our jungles so i instantly spammed pings and all caps GO hahaha dispite the horrible call method it really worked, my team reacted like we were a premade 5, and we got dragon and mid inhib because of it, my team wanted to continue pushing but as I tab'd I seen everyone was back up so again I pinged like crazy and pleaded for them to leave even theo they were dead set on winning, they listened. Later, we caught another enemy off guard because of another ward and good call (not myself this time, will give credit to our amumu jungle) and we pushed to win because of it.

TL;DR: Wards win games. Pings win games. Making calls wins games. Please try to be a teamplayer above everything else, I'd rather a toxic idiot spamming me and being annoying who will listen and play as a team than a nice teamplayer who won't listen or is just oblivious to the minimap/team. I think everyone just needs to remember its a 5 man team game, this isn't cod or a game where you can ALWAYS carry once fed and just win no matter if your team sucks or not or even tries, this actually does require synergy to some degree, and teamwork literally wins games.

This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I honestly, will admit it cause I know I was wrong and dumb, use to be EXACTLY this. I found EVERYGAME id find myself doing good and team doing bad, so I'd get pissed be toxic and we'd lose. Recently I took the approach of helping rather than flamming, AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW RIOT IS RIGHT, you win if you help. Bot going 0/7 and you're 6/0, go bot and help, rather than chatting them to death. Idk I just love being a teamplayer now, I was before bronze, than became a "I will only leave if I carry myself" kinda player, now am "I Can't solely win everygame, maybe I should help my team more" kinda player

What do you do when you are top lane? bot lane is so far away with nothing much to tp to (lack of wards/too dangerous to ward)

League of Potato1 votes

if you won your lane hard push to take your turret and start roaming. In general lane pressure is good. If you can push the enemies out of lane and take a tower or two you're doing good. You don't always have to get a kill on the enemy to be doing good things.

ok cool

Holy crap,I ward more than 85% of recorded players.

BallisticMouse2 votes

Over 94% here lol

I main support so when I play other roles I still am addicted to vision.

It literally calls my warding "excessive".

LeeDark2 votes

I don't have many games recorded for stats, but apparently I'm one of the only people who thinks the ADC should ward at all. In fairness, I play a lot of Twitch and just love assassinating someone who is alone somewhere.

JevelFaithful1 votes

56% over all (and 20% with support, which is what I play most often) out of 8 games. Interesting, I'd like to see those games because that doesn't look right. Maybe that's playing normals vs playing ranked.

rinsujo2 votes

It only records ranked this season - also, it classifies champs by riot's designation, not community - So nunu is considered a support, even though it's way more common to see him in jungle. Leona is (iirc) considered a tank.

JevelFaithful1 votes

Thanks. I have to admit most of the ranked games I had were in a non-serious team. They were mostly stomps and we were mostly on the receiving end.

Nope, don't see anything wrong there.

"trying to lead these dumbasses"

You're going into it calling them dumbasses without any proof of it. That in and of itself is indeed toxic.

I need proof that there are dumbass players?? Are you serious??

HAHAHAHAHAHA I'm not toxic in the game, you clown. I've said this like 3 times. However I will not hide my opinions on the forums. You mad bruh?

You're toxic. I can tell just from reading your two posts.

Toxic on forums, not in game. I don't give a fuck about what kids think in the forums. I play to win, and winning doesn't happen if I'm toxic. I would also be banned for being toxic, which I'm not when I play. Sorry to burst your sad bubble, bruh.

SpagootGG2 votes

i get the noobs too but as i climb from bronze 4 to now bronze 1 within the past week being a happy player cheering team on ending conflict playing champs im good with banning what my team wants il be in silver within the next couple days with this style of play

It's called micro manage. Anybody who played guild wars 1 at a high level back in 2006-2012 learned to do this. MICRO DEM TO UR WILL MATE!

I know exactly what you are talking about OP. It's so amazing when your team actually works together and gets towers, rotates to other lanes to get towers when the enemy is stopping you from taking a different one, everyone pushing the lanes to get map pressure, and most importantly getting dragon. Before when Dragon was just worth gold it was almost impossible to get your team to take it down, even right after killing both the bottom laners. Now that Riot changed it to actual effects/passives that you receive from it, most bronze players will actually go for it now and it makes the game a lot more enjoyable when there's another objective to fight iver. Bronze teamwork is rare, but when it happens it's glorious and A LOT of fun and you win

To contrast this, my last ranked game, I had a blitz supp on my team, I don't know what his problem was but he didn't take sightstone or a gold item, and then for over half the game he afk farmed top lane. For awhile even though we were behind at mid game we could still win in the 2-3 v 2-3 person skirmishes that happened, but everybody for the most part was off doing their own thing, somebody was pushing bot, somebody was mid, our support was top. It's games like that that piss me off, and make me wish I had a ranked team to play with.

Raxicor1 votes

I have the same sort of thoughts. Like I tried ranked this season just to see what would happen and I got placed in Bronze. I played a few within the division and found the experiences to be better than I thought(based on board complaints). Like there's a lot less flaming than there was in my promos.

Kitten of Evil1 votes

I have been lucky enough to have 3 games with great teams like that in my solo queue provisionals... and 3 wins with those teams. I honored every single teammate afterwards. Communication is the single most important thing (also warding).

KING ATTILA1 votes

Welp, I begged my team to stay grouped. What do they do? The exact opposite. Was I toxic? Fuck no. Will I sugar coat everything I say on the forums? Fuck no.

but bronze.

LeeDark1 votes

That is how I won my promo series. Won two, lost two, losing the final game, and just said, "Chill, guys. This is bronze. They WILL make a game-throwing mistake if we just keep our heads and work together." Lo and behold, the enemy did... and raged mightily when their 45 second death timers handed us the win.

Dengeden1 votes

Hehehe, and here I thought you were going to allude to ye old: "Ok, guys, laning phase is over. Group mid and never leave until the game ends?" "... no?" "What?! Every man for himself then!"

Funnily enough, even in situations like these, wards usually win the game :^)

WhiskeyAgogo1 votes

I was duoing with a friend who is in Bronze (he really shouldn't be... He was silver 2 last season, and just got a train wreck of afk/dc in his provisional and went 2/8 haha... down to Bronze 4).

Anyway, yea people just don't ward. They aren't dicks about it, it's just in most games with low Bronze, it's just a non-existent factor in the game. I was mid and I had to buy sightstone because the support flat out refused to buy it, and I didn't want to start bitching them out for the rest of the game...

I love when you end up 'grouping' and it's a 5-man blind bush face check haha. With the ridiculous team comps consisting of 2 adcs and 3 poke mages, all of us walking in a clusterfuck from bush to bush is amazing when we are against a somewhat competent Nunu. The shenanigans that occur in the jungle is like a big fucking pitch black hedge maze.

I only do ARAM but it holds true, if we work together and focus on a goal it works.

It's not so bad, you just can't be glorifying yourself in the process-- it helps to lend a sense of force to each players' contributions

Otalgi1 votes

Same, just yestday i was playing with an Olaf and a vi who didn't want to participate it obvious of what would become a team fight, instead they wanted to farm or take blue/red buff, while the other stomped on us as soon as they saw they were in bot/top while the rest were in mid. And when they did want to participate they both ulted in at random times while we were defending, we would try to help but they died before we could get there. Then flamed us for not helping

ßongs1 votes

I'm usually the one to have one of my teammates running through the jungle alone and throw the game for us because they don't listen :D but i agree you do win the games ppl listen
