"I have the highest damage/Look at your sad damage"

Look, I'm not saying high damage is a bad thing. Doing damage? Great. But if at the end of the game you have the highest damage because you tried to 1v3 the enemy team at every turn and made it so the rest of your team couldn't even step up without being picked, having the highest damage really doesn't mean a whole lot, especially if you lost.

Either that or having 65K damage to champions in a 30 minute game and be like "I carried ya scrubs ez xD"; meanwhile having ZERO damage to objectives. Uh-huh, surely carried me. [zombie-brand-clap]

At the same time, if you're playing a damage carry and you have the least damage done out of everyone, including supports, you are probably the reason why the game was lost

Actually couldn't you argue that having the most dmg in the game simply means you lacked the dmg to actually kill anyone?

Supports can carry games without damage. Kinda shows how ineffectual the stat is for marking effectiveness.

Eh, could be worse. Got blamed for losing a HotS game the other day because I wasn't present during 1 neutral objective fight.

Highest Siege damage, hero damage, XP contribution, roughly 1/4 of the kills (1 short of 100% participation), and 1 death (team average about 5). Self esteem doesn't require logic or reason.

When you are 0/4 with 908 damage on Yasuo, then say "my team fucking sucks", when everyone else even the support did more damage than you then ill call you out.

Or if just in general a toxic person is trying to blame his team for being bad when he does under 10k damage in a 40 minute game then i call them out.

I've always been an advocate for there being a difference between "damage" and "meaningful damage"

Thilmer8/12/2018, 2:34:07 PM2 votes

This reminds me of a story.

I was level 20, in season 4. I was playing Cho'gath as support. I ended the game 0-0-30.

… at the end of the game the jungler wanted to report me because "you didn't kill anyone". [sg-lux-2]

This dude is trying to justify losing a game by not doing damage... This is Season 8, dude. Damage is how you win.

yeah one of my game my midlane was 1/13/5 as lux he had the highest dmg but fed his ass off and kept blaming us for losing

the sadist thing is tanks that do most or second most damage in the game while being unkillable

HaIlMonitor8/12/2018, 9:21:00 PM1 votes

I usually only care about Tower damage. Because cool you can have 30 kills, but lets take something? I love the 10-2-17 guys with like 500 damage to towers....

Rakvir8/13/2018, 1:50:20 AM1 votes

Yup, then blaming lowest damage team member because they were SMART to not add to their feeding spree. Just because one or two people like to 1v5 doesn’t mean they should, too.

Tundra Hunter8/13/2018, 2:50:08 AM1 votes

Yeah... Makes me think of those (MOST) players who go play Zed / Yasuo / whatever, and go 15/15/0 by constantly killing - getting killed. I'm glad there's death timer because this leads to them and enemy being fed / high experience while you're 0/0/0 with less gold and exp and it feels so frustrating.
