Stop giving me Silver players! (Rant)
These people do not understand the concept of this game(which terrifies me as to what Bronze/Iron players are like). I can't advance with these people who feed their solo laner's 15 kills in 10 minutes! I can play a perfect game, but still can't carry a team that is constantly tower diving, trying to fight(pointless(no objective) losing fights, or ignore that their ADC is being chased by an assassin and tank. My opposing lane will be 1/10 (support death), about 10 minutes after laning phase, my opposing ADC will be legendary!?!?! Why do I get these people? There is no way that our MMR is similar in the slightest(and if it is, I don't understand the point of it).
There are way too many boosted people in this game. I can't stand carrying these people who average a 1/10/2 KDA, because now they advance due to what I did(and maybe 2-3 others), although they totally shouldn't. I have been carried too, but that usually comes down to key points where my support missed all their skill shots and abilities and still continued to fight, when I thought they might land them; Now I'm out of position and dead, and that's my fault. Or I get a gank when there are 5-6 mage minions who I can't simply walk past because they will nearly kill me, the jungler and support tower dive and I'm "just farming" so now I'm a a piece of expletive(I will always ping them before they make these idiotic moves, to not do it, but they do it anyway).
I can almost never play Kalista because my support is S2 or lower(Kalista is, almost literally, only as good as her support allows her to be). And if they happen to be even Gold, they are likely riding others' coat tails(and don't know what Kalista does and waste her ult always). I don't know how many supports that I get, that wan't to party with me afterwards. Against my better judgement, I'll accept, if they seemed to be of the correct caliber. The next game will be the exact opposite of the game previous and I'll see that this person is in fact a tier below me and only appeared to do well the game previous, probably, due to luck. I will then find that they willingly undo any wave manipulation I'm attempting, dive under turrets at 98% to lvl 6, never ward, and will leave lane at the worst possible times(to die in mid lane or enemy jungle, usually).
The most fun games I've had are when: I have a Plat or higher support, my opponents and teammates are around the same exact rank and MMR(1:1,000,000,000,000), I don't get a support who's stats are low even for Bronze tier. The least fun games I've had: Having teammates that are 2 tiers below mine, picking Kalista and getting a squish support afterwards(Brand, Sona......,Soraka(while these games can go well, they usually don't. My ults will only be used to save them after bad positioning)), Playing an excellent or safe game only to lose to the other lanes while my team won't peel for their only fed/skilled player(nearly every game), my jungler only ganks when 2 waves are crashing my tower and I have no lane pressure from my support(besides tower diving/1v2-1v5 engagements that I know from experience that I cant fight), this list could go on forever...
I have played enough games of League to know that, within 2 minutes, whether or not my support: #1 Knows how to play support/ADC #2 Knows how to play with Kalista #3 Needs to be left to their own devices because any and all of their decisions(Fighting, poking, Relic farming/Coin farming, positioning etc.) will get them killed and most likely get me zoned completely or killed too.
I also have to mute 1-4 people per game without fail due to their toxicity. I know I've been toxic before too, but I have reformed myself(without being banned). As a Kalista main, I get the blame of nearly anything that goes wrong in any game. "Why do you get blamed for everything as Kalista?" I'm glad you asked, BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO USE HER!!!! Kalista is way too high of a skill cap for most people. Either because they don't have the patience to learn, or they are lazy and don't like having to do more than press R to win(Zed, Yi, and Karthus nubs...). IMAQTPIE once said, "...Kalista is for intellectuals." I like to believe that is true and that I am one of them. However, there is a significant lack of said intellectuals that participate in this game of wits.
The difference in game when you Duo with someone almost makes it pointless to have a Duo choice.
There's my rant...
