I really need some friends.
I have been playing league on and off for a very long time, and never have I had any of my friends interested enough in the game to come and play it. I have played this game solo for the longest time and it has been one of the worst experiences in ranked play. I am not a fantastic player but I do not think I am a bad player either. I definitely make mistakes, and I try my best to correct them. Recently in the past day I have gone from winning 7 games in a row, to getting into my promos and loosing three times in a row. Now this next part is something I don't like to say, because it is a very bad mindset to get into, but please, if you do not believe me, watch the games. The past three games I have played I have lost due to folks on my team who either don't care or just want to flame other people. I decided to pick volibear for two of these games because I think he does a great job at ganking and providing support to my teammates. In the first game I had a neeko top vs an illaoi and a sylas mid vs a brand. The sylas had not played sylas in over 30 games and had never played the champion in the mid lane, so I figured he would need most help against the brand so I decided to give his lane the most attention. Fast forward a few mins into the game Neeko is flaming me and has been killed by illaoi twice, brand has killed sylas once. I go and gank brand and I die [stupid on my part]. The neeko continues to flame me in chat so I have to end up muting her. Bot lane has already died several times by this point and my team is ripping one another apart in the chat. The game goes downhill quickly and we loose. The next game I am in one of the players gets angry because brand was banned, and all they played was brand. The player then said he was going to INT because he did not get his pick. He chose Lux and continued to steal the ADCs farm. The ADC [ashe] decided to flame her and blame all her problems on Lux so he quit and went into the side bush behind the first mid turret in the south jungle. He did this until yasuo set up a pretty good play against graves and brand and ashe came and took both of the kills. Nothing wrong with the ADC getting kills obviously but the yasuo didn't feel that way and flamed her the rest of the game. Now because im so worried about my team and giving them as much attention as I can Vi is able to clear all the objectives and now they are way ahead in the game. My team basically gives up. The next game I go and pick Tryndamere because I was worried about our team's ability to push turrets. The zed dies once to the enemy neeko, quits the game for 15 mins, bot lane feeds the enemy blitz and jhin and top feeds the jax. The game is over before I can do anything.
Now that I am done ranting and explaining that, let me get back to the original point of the thread. I really think that these games would not have been so bad had I had a friend to play with me who knew what they were doing so at least not all of the lanes were fed by the 10 min mark. I get it, bad luck is a thing, and yes I do make mistakes, but it gets to the point of being way too much and not even worth it. If anyone out there plays Top or mid lane I would really appreciate the company of someone else who knows what they are doing and wont quit on me. Thanks for taking the time to read it, sorry if it was a bit too ranty.
