One For All = "Gimme wat i want or i quit"

Dumb Monster··85 votes·4,684 views

I literally just sat through 4 consecutive dodges in about 15 minutes because some 5 year old keeps quitting because they didn't get what they want. Increase queue dodge penalty to 15 like it is for ARAM please. This is One For All, not Dodge Until I get What I Want. That's ridiculous.

I dodge a fair amount of games of one for all, but solely because in EVERY damn game some stupid champ I have played EVERY other game of One for All gets picked, It's gotten to the point I just don't play it unless I have 2 other friends. I'm sick of only being able to play Lux Kalista Blitzcrank. It gets boring after awhile.

Yes, I know they are great in One for All. Yes I admit Lux basically destorying the enemy team once a snare goes off leading to 4 more snares was funny the first 5 times I played Lux, it's just gotten old at this point.

I mean, you can't blame people for finding fun in winning.

You're right, I can't, but you can't fault me for not having fun playing the same champ 6-7 games in a role not by my choice :P Thus why I dodge, they can get into a game with someone more willing to play that champ and I can either say screw it and go to normals or try again.

With a 5 minute wait. That I always thought was really stupid of an idea on riots part.

Biffolo1 votes

Trust me, the 5 minute wait HAS to be there. Games would never start otherwise. I know plenty of people that would dodge until they got a power pick. That goes for this or summoners rift.

I agree, for REPEATED dodges. The first time you dodge it's instant 5 minute wait then 10 MORE minutes if you dodge again, and its not just with One for All, why am I getting punished because someone it trolling in blind pick? Or 2 people fight over a lane and insta lock that lane?

2 or 3 dodges should start adding the timer, Hell, leave buster is less strict then the dodge timer and leaving a game has WAY more impact on the team then dodging. If I recall dodging didn't used to give you the wait (I played years ago, I had a break from LoL from about March 2013 until June of this year.) and I didn't see anymore dodges then then I do now.

A league game isn't 5 minutes. It's between 35-60 minutes, with the SHORTEST normally being 20 minutes, and all that time you HAVE to be playing, or else risk your account in the process. I just feel punishing dodges the first time someone dodges is just...silly, legit I dont know of any other games that punish you for leaving the pre-game lobby.

People would still abuse it for a free dodge once a day, making everyone's time more miserable in champion select. People would use it for unfavorable team comps, meaning it would take so much longer to get into a game.

Had this a few times. People just want to play their champs and not work as a team. A Zed main wanted everyone to play Zed, and two other people picked him. Then... when nobody else knew how to play him (as he isn't easy to play), the Zed main was a dick in game and complained about how everyone else was bad with him. One for All is really a bad name for the mode. Though, the root problem is that most of this community refuses to work as a team (too much individual play and wants).

the best thing isn't to pick a strong champ that can be stronger with more of himself there (Draven looking at you bud)

it's to pick a strong champ that can be stronger WHILE being easy to play.

I forced an Aatrox game the other day. my entire team picked a different champ so i won on the 20% chance of being selected.

3/5 had never even played him before on my team and we were against Rumble

first thing i did was ask for a show of hands on who hadn't played before. then i told them what skils to pick and level when, what items to buy, what his skills and passive did, and let them do the rest. They all bought what i said, leveled what i said, and we won.

he's not hard when you understand the kit and it's kinda fun seeing 5 self ressurecting rage blade monsters swinging down a horde of mecha rodents. was a fun game really and even the rumble were impressed by how well we pulled through for the win.

You gave clear, reasoned and concise advice to your whole team on how to play an unfamiliar champion and they actually listened to you? Let alone didn't flame you for being a know-it-all? You're either super charming or super lucky.

Please tell me you went out after and bought several lottery tickets...

THIS! I played a XinZhao vsRiven game the other day, i had never played XinZhao before but i build full tank while 2 guys built glass, 1 built bruiser, and another built hybrid if i remember correctly. Because we had such diverse builds and we had a way easier champ (i'd never played him) we wound up stomping. I also like to pick people like Ekko who have lots of different build paths.

Yeah. A lot of people like to choose mechanically difficult champions and then get angry or defeatist when things don't go very well.

I actually think one for all with noobs is kind of funny, since nobody knows what they're doing and it just becomes a fun WAIT WTF button mash. That's just me though.

That actually is the core of leauge of legends. People not working as a team while its being promoted as a teamgame, you just dont have the communication necessary to play as an actual team nor the synergy. That is also why league of legends soloq is a toxic, negative experience and that will never change no matter how much tribunals or reportsystems riot creates. The conditions make the toxicity, not the people persé.

I had something similar happen to me. Someone picked Urgot, a champion I like and can play fairly well. I figured 'Oh, cool. Someone else likes Urgod! This could be a lot of fun! I wonder if our Qs can go to an ally's E DoT.' All throughout champion select, the guy that picked Urgot is talking with a teammate, and it's obvious they know each other IRL. The friend picks Urgot too, making it the manority, and we go into the game. We're against Heimerdinger, but I feel pretty confident.

The guy that first picked Urgot sits in base, seemingly AFK. I asked his friend if he was coming back and get an "idk". A few minutes in, he comes back and says "lol the plan was to pick urgot and afk". Just after this he DCs, then comes back.
Him: "wtf okay the game just kicked me"
Teammate: "It does that if you don't move for a while."
Him: "wtf thats stupid"

He comes to lane now, but is still constantly talking to his friend in chat. I was solo-top so he goes with me. They're both gossiping about people they work with, more than actually playing, so things aren't going well. At one point, he dives deep into two Heimers, getting one low before dying. I hang back, shooting Qs for as long as I can, nearly dying myself, but the Heimer escapes. Immediately, my 'ally' begins calling me racial slurs and other obscenities. The insults and stupid gossip continue all game long, and we surrender not long after the 20 minute mark. In post game chat, I asked for the guy to be reported, and his response was "lol racist? u must be a <slur>".

Got to love this community sometimes. -_-

I'm getting really tired of 3 man pre-mades getting into a room and being like "No we're playing [insert champ]" and winning because they're the majority. They picked Gnar, fed horribly in the beginning against Ekko, but we won because we got too tanky for them. I had one group literally yell at us for not picking Veigar and getting Miss Fortune instead. Needless to say, we kicked ass as Miss Fortune. And we were against Veigars. lol

I had a game where I waited at tower because I saw two Leonas step into the first bush at top. Then my teammate walks into the bush despite my pings, gets almost killed.

Teammate 1: GG guys we lost. Report whoever picked Sona we should have picked Velkoz

proceeds to troll and afk

We won that game.

I have played two champions (Diana & Karma) who I have never played before in this mode. I'm sure you assholes can deal with having to play as someone who isn't your main.

Honestly, I prefer the person dodging over them raging during the entire game.

Catastrop3 votes

I've been trying since this game mode came out to play as Diana but no one wants to praise the moon. T_T

We were against a Blitz team, so it wasn't the best time.

Egh, that comp is more cancer than 5 Yoricks...which I played and felt like taking a bath afterwards because it was just so dirty.

Void Nargacuga1 votes

I was actually able to try out Yorick due to One for All! (since he will NEVER be in free rotation) IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! XD

I felt sorry for the other team though... Annie We were late game monsters... One of the guys soloed baron in a ridiculously quick time. I soloed it as well. I took some time to kill baron, but was totally worth it! XD

I'm kinda seeing this as a chance to try out champions that I've not had the chance to play. Because of this mode I now want to get Yorick & Rengar

If you want to know what the first Yorick built to solo baron this is what he had at the end game: item 3075 item 3065 item 3074 item 3153 item 3156 item 3072

Catastrop1 votes

Oh my god, the team that we faced were a bunch of Yasuo's. Needless to say, I also felt sorry them because it was just so ridiculous. They think they killed us, but come back and kill them XD But yeah, because of this mode I really want to buy Yasuo Yorick & Anivia (if you thought 5 Yorick's was cancer wait till you try this out) I just went with the normal cookie cutter build item 1316 item 3025 item 3042 item 3065 item 3742, I didn't get to finish a last item so it stopped there, I was going to get Titanic Hydra though. Wonder if I could solo with this.

Void Nargacuga1 votes

Maybe? Still I'm surprised at how FUN Yorick is! Well maybe not so fun for the enemy team but yeah... I keep trying to nominate Bard whenever I can to try him out since he looks like fun as well.

Most people would dodge than waste 40 minutes in a game they don't want to play. You act like they owe you something? And there are certain champions that are extremely unfun in one for all.

I find it easier to just accept what people pick as OFA is useful for learning new champions. Apart from Yasuo. Please don't pick Yasuo I've used him so much in OFA ;-;

Was better last year when it was the aram map. At least then it was more chaotic and all about the fighting, no strategy required. Summoners Rift is way too slow/big a map for this game mode and I'm not sure why they decided to go with it.

Are you trying to defend the people who dodge, or 5 year-olds? Because one can't be defended, and the other is so obviously hyperbole by OP that you can't really defend it without sounding dumb.

not defending people who dodge but like imagine a guy 99 years old playing league and he just feels like dodging and when he dodges becomes 5 years old. using the sentence because some 5 year old keeps quitting is literally stupid.

TurquoiseYoshi6 votes

It's comparative. Let's compare it to a video I watched about Quinn. It said "Your enemy team has to be a bunch of potatoes so you hit your Level 2 power spike." Are they actually potatoes. Obviously not. Did they magically turn into potatoes for giving Quinn an opportunity? No. It's just a metaphor.

Lotus Blade1 votes

yes but the 5 year old metaphor is really overused and its like implanted into peoples brains even though the comparison would be completely wrong and unneeded people will still use it . ex: a shy person says my face turned into a tomato, perfect metaphor a player dodging a game mode because they didnt get what they want: 5 year old , stupid metaphor , and i dont think 5 year olds play league and dodge much to use them as a metaphor. but w/e.

Delioth4 votes

It's not literally calling them 5 (obviously), it's stating that their actions are befitting of a 5-year old.

'I want dis!' "You cannot have dat." 'tantrum' ~classic exchange with a 5-year old

the fact that someone bringing up a legitimate issue is getting downvoted a bunch in fucking idiotic. ageism is a very real problem in todays society, and yet it has somehow managed to become socially acceptable, and no one even thinks its a thing. i've heard way to many time things along the lines of "ageism isn't even a word"
