When did "fun" become an acceptable excuse to ruin and troll games.

Yeah yeah, I get it, you're gonna call me a tryhard, or whatever. But I don't care. I'm going to say what I think.

Just as the title says, when did it become ok ruin games, borderline troll them, just because you want to "have fun"

For instance. A game I played a while back, I was playing Kayn jungle. the rest of my team were just awful. And I can just see all the comments saying "typical player complaining about their team" but just hear me out.

by...20 minutes I believe, I was 12/0, functionally carrying my team, and what do they do with it? Nothing. Each opportunity, they either recalled for just screwed around in the lane, refusing to press the advantage we had. I don't think I need to state the obvious, but I will, we lost. Horribly.

Just recently, I lost two games. One while playing Morgana support, the other playing Kayn jungle ( again.)

With the Morgana game, my ADC was needlessly aggressive, jumping in when they had low health. Now, I will admit, I wasn't as nice as I could have been. That's on me. I said "Trist, what's wrong with you? why do you keep going in?" or something along those lines.

She replied with "Calm tf down." What? What part of what I said was angry? [zombie-brand-mindblown]

I ask her kindly to please stop being so aggressive when she doesn't need to be. Come the time when I have my ult, its prime time to THEN go in, but she just leaves me to die. "You said not to be aggressive." [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Then, the next game, when I was Kayn again, this person locks in akali ADC. I didn't notice it in champ select but oh boy I wish I did so I could have dodged.

She proceeds to play terribly because it's "fun." and everyone else in the game with the exception of top, who was a pretty good Quinn I might add, had the gall to be mad at ME for calling those shenanigans out. The Fizz was awful, the Morgana, she was...well, eh.

But the main point of this, when did this kind of tomfoolery become acceptable? Please, someone, answer me. [sg-janna]

I'm not asking for pros, I'm just asking for people who use their heads, and say "hey, maybe this ISN'T something I should be doing" or something like that.

The way I see it you play have fun in normals, and play to win in ranked. I think that’s fair.

You have insufficient evidence to support that claim. I would consider this spam, but since in your post history you only have 2 bad and deleted comments, i will refrain from a report. Please keep in mind that thinking about what you say helps, and i advise you to add on to that sentence.

Can someone please give this guy a warning for being a forum cop? It's really annoying and I'm positive everyone downvoting him agrees.

You die a lot in your games. Last season you were what's called a feeder, but this season you're doing just a little better.

Concentrate on not dying.

I understand this. But the point of the whole post was to say "when did this behaviour of ruining other peoples games and calling it fun become acceptable."

I'd suggest that it's more of a where than a when; you're currently surrounded with nearly the worst players in League of Legends. It should be true on both sides, so any improvement will get you out of the dregs.

I'm not yet a good player, but I'm better than the crowd I'm matched against so I'll also move up a bit until I cap out at my skill level. Then it will be time to learn new and better techniques or live with a 50% win rate.

makes sense. Then again, 50% win rate isnt as bad. I think my win rate is like.....20 something.

You just need to improve, dont blame others because your the one at fault. Using others as a sheild from your emotions is considered a violation on the terms of agreements, and will be treated with a suspension if it continues. Also, judging from your last 3 games you went sion support while going 0 17 and buying 5 greatswords. This is not a viable strategy and especially when its used in three or more games. Please respect the game or you will end up with a restriction or worse.

Think you have me confused for someone else. As I said I went Morgana. and not Sion. I've barely supported at all.

Also, my last 3 games I was Aatrox, Morgana and Kayn. Not a single Sion. So, dont know what you're talking about.

This is offensive and will result in your immediate termination. For others who follow, this behavior will NOT be tolerated. We have a zero tolerance policy and those of you who follow this persons actions will meet a similar termination.

Who are you? How is saying it'll "give me an aneurysm" offensive? its an exaggeration.

I wouldn't worry too much about them right now, they're spamming the boards claiming that they're reporting anyone and everyone. Don't bother to engage them, they're just self-destructing.

Invasion of privacy is not tolerated, and i will screenshot this for moderators. You are very offensive, and trying to know who i am and where i live is an invasion of privacy. If you went any further, i would have sent this to the police, be careful next time.

You're clearly blowing things out of proportion, but, ok. Whatever.

But trolling is fun tho. It helps keep the meta wheel turning. Sure you might go 0 10 some games but most of the time, just consider it bad luck. I mean I do off meta stuff all the time (The really exotic ones).

I suppose so. But generally, I think it would be a lot better to troll with friends, and not randoms who just want to play. Know what Im saying?

Stop tryharding; you're playing normals.

Your ADC Akali game? You didn't mention that the other team had an unconventional bot lane as well; don't be a meta slave. Your build path is also highly unconventional, and imo shit. That Morgana game? You were the support yet there's a notable lack of wards from you. You also have absolutely atrocious farm in your games in general.

And that's what I can criticize based off of your stats alone. You're nowhere near a perfect player, so before you start trying to take your teammates to task for their mistakes, fix your own first.

The game didn't last long. 20 minutes at most I think it was.. And did I say I was a perfect player? No. Im far from it. And what I build is the recommended items.

"Don't be a meta slave" yeah, that's helpful and answers the question....

You didn't buy a single control ward, and 7 wards in 20 minutes is still really bad. As the support you should have the most wards placed on your team.

The meta doesn't matter at your skill level. Don't get upset if people want to play something unconventional in a normal.

Like seriously,you'd have a skinny leg to stand on if this was ranked, but you're losing your cool over normals. Take a chill pill and relax. You've got room for significant improvement and no amount of badgering is going to give you good teammates. Play every normal to improve, not to win. If you get an unconventional team, take that as an opportunity to see how it may work in case you see it in ranked. If your team feeds, try to use that as an opportunity to figure out how to hard carry.

"Take a chill pill and relax" Trust me, I wish I could relax and just have fun and improve. But its the unconventional stuff that makes me lose the most. That screws me over the most.

If you're just playing normals you need to get it out of your head that you have to win every game. Don't worry about what your team does; you just need to go in with the mentality of trying to improve one thing. Even when you're getting stomped, you can still practice things. For example losing games are a great place to practice high-risk, high-reward plays because in the worst case scenario, you help the game end faster, and in the best case scenario you can turn the game around.

Stop worrying about your teammates and trying to control them. Just play the game for yourself.
