So ... I've been playing league for a very long time, and I know I'm not the best player ... I'm far from it. I'm here to express my frustration at what I see daily in Bronze & Silver SoloQ.

First off I'm a Master Yi main and majority of the time unless there is another person on my team that is also fed or we simply have a lot more cc i prefer to split push. However over the years I have been raged at and called horrible things by my team on too many occasions to count simply because I wont group.

I have absolutely no idea why, but almost everyone in low elo thinks the solution to EVERY problem past 15 min is grouping ...like wtf i will have games where i am like 8/1 and the average score for my team is like 1/5 so i decide to split push, i am strong enough to simply 1v2 anyone that comes to challenge me and i ping my team to back and defend and sometimes even say it in chat. But that's where it begins.

My team will push way out from turret and get caught out alone constantly and then blame me because i am fed and i am not grouping. then i get called all sorts of terrible things and they say they are gonna report me and that i am refusing to cooperate and that it is my fault that we will lose... now according to op.gg my winrate on yi is 67% but i still get raged at daily for split pushing because it isnt teamfighting even if i am carrying.

along the same note of that as a jungler am i required to gank? because i get raged at all the time when my laner is like 1/3 and i refuse to gank them and tell them junglers shouldnt gank losing lanes and about 1 in 10 people will start stealing my jungle camps after this. i will still help winning lanes but i just leave losing lanes alone and wait till i get stronger.

another thing is am i required to give away my blue/red buffs... i personally like my buffs i typically take them myself unless one of my laners is a lot more fed than me. however i have people mostly mid laners that tell me that every blue buff after the first is theirs and i should give it to them (this happens probably 1 in like 8 games... and half of these people will throw tantrums if i dont give it to them they steal my camps and follow me around so i cant clear my own jungle.

also recently you guys heavily nerfed farming jungle playstyles to favor early game ganking heavy pressure junglers... i had to majorly adjust my play to compensate. where is the play style diversity here? am i only supposed to play junglers that gank alot? am i only supposed to group and teamfight? am i not allowed to split push? im sick and tired of this i absolutely love league of legends as a game... but this community is getting worse and worse. you get reported for playing "off -meta" you get raged at for basically everything and the community thinks that unless you are in the top 0.1% that you are just plain garbage... please riot dont let this continue if you let this keep happening you will kill your game.

so please riot tell me... is this my fault, am i the bad player ... is this why im stuck in silver...am i supposed to just group past 15 min just because my team wants me to. when does this become reportable and when is it a strategy???

So here's the one thing - this doesn't just happen at low elo. This happens at every elo. People are always jerks, they like to blame the split pusher when they get engaged on. They don't know what to do when you go to split. Say very basic instructions to them and spam ping them when they are too far up 0 _ 0
