Stop blaming Riot for idiots!

DW Diana·May 13, 2018·3 votes·1,027 views

Ok so just a quick one.

Can people please stop blaming Riot for players being idiots? A guy gets a mundo support and doesn't say "what an idiot this guy is", instead he goes "How dare you riot! this is all your fault!"

Don't get me wrong, riot have made their share of mistakes this season, but a guy playing something completely off meta with the wrong sums and throwing a game isn't really their fault. It's not like there aren't enough easy supports to play when you get auto-filled that you can just get the first upgrade of a support item on and then build whatever you like (morgana and zyra are mine, but there's also annie, brand, sion, illaoi).

Please stop blaming riot for people being idiots in ranked, blame the people themselves.

Rant over.

because it actually is riots fault for not banning these people. The game shouldnt even allow him to pick mundo support in the first place. The second you select support when you are about to start a game, the game should only let you select actual support champions. The same process should be applied to top and all the others lanes so that non toplaner champs will be automatically greyed out. Its riot fault for being so incompetent and not even being able to apply something so simple that would solve so many problems

Ok first off that would be stupid as it would mean no one could ever trade lanes. Second, meta is always changing. Illaoi is actually a really good support (even saw LCS play earlier this year) but is considered a top laner.

Finally no it is NOT riots fault for not banning these people! You want troll?!?!? I played a game with a kha'zix adc and a rengar support! THAT'S troll! And you know what?!?!!? They won lane and turned into huge roaming 1 shotters! I've played Malzahar Top and beaten the crap out of people up there that just didn't know what to do with me. Kai'sa and Vayne can play jungle! Vayne and lucian are both fine in top lane. Where do you think these idea's come from? They're from people that say "I'm really good on this champion, but just got filled to x. I'll see if it works."

My first support was Ryze last season ffs! I have a 80% winrate on him out of 4 games played just as support! OFf meta will happen, sometimes it works, sometimes it won't, but telling Riot its all their fault is not the answer. It's the player that thought they could do something and were wrong! I mean jesus I played with an idiot that thought Jhin Jungle would be a good idea against a shaco! Should I cry to riot saying he should be banned? No! he was an idiot that hopefully won't try that shit again. If he does, well at least he'll fit in well in bronze!

Its not Riots fault this game is 7years old, and 90% of the veteran player base is still absolute trash, below gold quality. It is however, riots fault that they punish win streaks with bottom of the barrel teammates.

Again, this is a conspiracy. The fact is eventually you ARE going to end up with a bad player or two on your team that you can't carry, The fact you got as far as a decent streak (5 games plus imo) means that you were playing against the odds anyway.

The current game is based on how well your WORST player is doing, NOT THE BEST. Even then the best/most fed player can face check a bush/go to ham and lose you the game. This will be changing and solo-carrying will be a thing again hopefully after 8.11, but until then be grateful for what you get!

Its not about "A" bad player. Its about a ENTIRE BAD.... no, not even bad, TERRIBLE team after following a win streak. 0-4 top lane 0-15 bot lane. 1-6 mid lane. You as a jungler, unable to do anything because every lane is too far ahead for you to have any impact on the lane.

Mind you, none of these lanes were ganked, they simply lost 1v1/2v2. over and over again. They are low, hard stuck players in your division, while your opponents are progressing through Gold/Silver/Plat1. Riot even admits its part of their match making "algorithm" to ensure everyone wins 50% of the time.

So what you're saying is your laners all lost lane (BADLY) without gaining any assistance from their Jungler (you)? Some lanes are losing lanes, and yes sometimes ALL your lanes lose. As the jungler your job is to influence the entire map. The fact you've admitted to not doing this would lead me to believe that it wasn't just them who were playing poorly this game (note everyone has a bad game!)

They are low, hard stuck players in your division, while your opponents are progressing through Gold/Silver/Plat1.

Says the person talking about win streaks when they haven't played in 2 months and have a 49% winrate in rank? I'm really sorry but I feel you might also be the problem here.

Riot even admits its part of their match making "algorithm" to ensure everyone wins 50% of the time.

Then you should be happy they're trying to help you get a higher winrate... Sorry but I'm really not seeing how this is all riots fault. You've explained that your laners lost lane, you didn't gank, you omitted YOUR KDA, and the fact that you haven't played in 2 months means it's impossible to say whether this actually happened or if you just rage quit the game due to your 49% winrate (the only thing that we CAN see from your games). I barely play ranked and even I have more ranked games then you this season...

it is not your job as a jungler to win peoples lanes for them Its not the junglers fault if your teammates die at lvl2 and snowball their lanes into unmanageable nightmares. At that point all the jungler can do is farm, keep an eye on objectives, and take advtange of recalls to beat on towers.

and obviously I don't play on this account.

True but you ARE meant to influence lanes.

Its not the junglers fault if your teammates die at lvl2 and snowball their lanes into unmanageable nightmares. At that point all the jungler can do is farm, keep an eye on objectives, and take advtange of recalls to beat on towers.

If your laner dies level 2 (which is rare but happens) then you should be looking to either gank before their laner can back, or if that isn't possible (I'm the other side of the map) then look to gank soon after they return (doesn't even need to get a kill, just giving your laner some breathing room is very helpful!). If you see their jungler focusing one lane, then you can either look to gank another lane in response, counter jungle, or even counter GANK (something a lot of junglers forget about).

"I'll just farm and hope things get better" is never the answer. Jungle is the most pro-active and reactive role in the game. Every action your opponents take you have to respond to.

and obviously I don't play on this account.

That's meant to be a defence? You did really badly on one account so started to play another one and just continued using this one for the boards? I mean feel free to post you "real" account on here, but please try using it to make posts in future.
