Story Time With Cadence
Today, I'll be sharing a story about a game of League with you all, since I'm honestly still shocked about it.

This game is a good example of a comeback, since it started off as absolute shit. We lost all of top's turrets within the first 20 minutes. I tried to FF twice, but they kept going, saying we had it. And we apparently fucking had it.
It all started with a disconnect. Olaf was having connection issues and lagging, and he kept disconnecting. This made the team toxic. Sona wanted to report him, everyone wasn't having a good time. I started the first surrender vote. At this point, at least one top turret was down, and things weren't looking good. Olaf came back though, and the team said no despite agreeing to surrender before I started the vote. Olaf disconnects again, and I start another surrender vote, as top is pretty much gone at this point. But Olaf came back again, and again the team said no.
At this point, I wasn't very fed, 2/0. I died first when Talon ulted me under my turret, but I did enough damage to him that the turret got him, and my E passive then killed Ezreal. This brought my score up to 4/1, still not very good. But, I didn't give up, cause my team actually had faith in us. I thought it was a lost cause, just 5 more minutes of hell, but the team convinced me that if we stayed together we'd win.
I started getting kill after kill after kill, we started pushing mid, we danced around Baron and dragon not really sure what to do because the enemy team was near and we had no vision. Then, it hit me. My teammates hadn't been warding this entire time. I had a vision score of nearly 30, which is normally what the support has. Meanwhile, Sona's vision score is 1, while the rest had vision scores in the single digits as well. So I ask why they aren't warding.
"You have an ability that's a ward," says Lux.
Oh, you mean my E? That thing that costs mana that doesn't even give vision unless the enemy steps on it? That's not a ward, you dunce! It took a good minute of arguing to get my team to fucking help with vision, the only thing getting them to was me saying, "Look I'm bronze and I understand the concept and importance of warding, so I'm not sure what your excuse is.".
After that, Lux and I were busy getting Elder Dragon, and we did. Then, those fuckers got Baron. I thought it was over. We had nearly 2 lanes down to the inhibitors, there's no way we could ever keep them back. But we did. We lost mid, but we killed them all pretty quickly so the Baron buff was no more.
Game goes on, Olaf stays in the base for the most part, acting as security in case Talon or Garen try to get the inhibitors. I'm glad he was smart enough to do this, as most people that are behind(in my experience) tend to just go right into battle and end up feeding. He knew it was best for him to stay back, so he did, and we probably would have lost if he hadn't. His connection got better, but he still disconnected a few times.
Eventually though it came down to the final push, and we all just ran up mid. I'm an unstoppable monster and got both the top and mid inhibitor. I was basically 2-shotting people at this point, even Garen was basically paper to me. Turret down, turret down, and... Victory. We actually fucking won it. No wards, a lagging Olaf and Aatrox, and a mother fucking Jhin who hasn't slept in nearly 24 hours. We fucking did it.
Now, I'm not really a "never give up" kind of person. I was when I first joined(2 year anniversary of joining btw), but over time I learned to just not be "that guy" that subjects the team to more torture when its very clearly a loss. The only time I ever really say no to a vote anymore is if someone who is toxic/trolling is trying to FF, because honestly, fuck them. However, I knew in this case that I couldn't really do anything about it, since when the team says no, they say no. I am glad we didn't FF, though, cause its been a while since I had a game like this.
I hope this game was educational for you all, or at the very least entertaining. I have many other games with interesting stories behind them if you'd like to hear them. Just let me know.
