Hey guys, Few days ago i had a conversation with this guy in the boards and he told me that he prefers to be 5-0 and lose instead of winning as 0-5. He told me that even doublelift said that too. I didnt payed much attention to that , until i got into a game with a person thinking like that , he was 7-1-3 and didnt wanted to fight because he didnt wanted to ruin his kda. So my question is : What do you guys prefer? Do you want to lose a game as 5-0 or win a game as 0-5 ?

Depends on other factors. But id rather lose as 5-0 knowing I did everything I could to win rather than win 0-5 and be hard carried.

I care more about performance than results.

That depends on the situation on the 0/5 game. If it is a hard counter top lane where I don't even get to play the game for the first 20 minutes, I'll take the 5/0 loss. If it is a 0/5 game where I'm actually able to participate, I'm happy to do so. Here are a couple examples.

4/9/20 on Sivir. I started the game something like 1/6/1 but I was actually able to farm and still got to play the game. This game was fun. https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/3291412458/209287161?tab=overview

1/13/8 on Jax. I got hard carried the entire game but didn't have a single moment of fun. The only reason I was playing Jax was for a mission. https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/3273133061/209287161?tab=overview

All depends on role and assists and other stats not shown immediately. I'd rather sit through a 40 min game going 0-5-17 and winning cause then I'd know I actually had worth in that game. Imagine a Braum with that K/D/A I posted, and imagine he did everything in his power to secure objectives and/or making sure high value target allies (ADC/Mid) survived a fight with a kill or two, you'd be hard pressed to honour that Braum even if you lose, cause he's the reason it was so close of a game. Now imagine a game with a 14/3 Senna ADC doing absolutely nothing to win the game cause she doesn't want to ruin her K/D/A? I'd be hard pressed to not to report her cause she doesn't care about winning. If you're a K/D/A player, go play norms or vs. AI cause you won't have any fun in ranked where all that matters is the results.

Lol is all about the nexus , if you don't destroy it , you lose . nobody cares about your KDA . to me the nexus is everything and if you have a bad KDA and win i don't give a damn, winning is winning , KDA is more suitable to games like CS GO , Quake champions, Call of duty ,Fornite , etc.
