Everytime I feel like quitting this game, I have a team that restores my faith in the community
So I have a history of bad luck in ranked games. All through my placements I didn't play a single game with a full team due to DC's and rage quits. I'm now silver, which seems to have more negative attitudes than bronze.
Last night I was playing some ranked, and I usually play ADC whenever I can, but I was last pick and ended up playing support, no big deal there, if I don't get ADC my second choice is usually support. Anyway, after about 5 minutes into the game I realized that our jinx was terrible. Not like just getting outplayed, but she actually didn't know ADC mechanics or how to CS at all, and she fed lucian 4 kills by the 5 minute mark. At this point I was 1-0-1 morgana due to jungler help since the jinx was always dead. I so wanted to rage at the jinx, and my team probably did too, but top lane was going even and our mid lane zed was winning lane hard, so I held it in hoping the jinx could just play safe and try to farm while zed carried us to victory.
20 minutes into the game jinx was 0-8--1 with 37 cs. I was farming whenever jinx wasn't in lane, and I had 70 cs by the 20 minute mark as support. Still no one on my team said anything to the jinx and just focused on their own play. By this point in the average silver game I would have expected my team to be in full anarchy, with at least one person trying to 1v5 and everyone blaming the jinx in all-chat. Around this time someone on the enemy team said "sorry for the intentional feeding jinx" in all-chat, and our jungler responded "she isn't intentionally feeding, just having a bad game." This comment just restored my faith in the community, having a teammate acknowledge that someone was just having a bad game, and that her other games probably weren't always like this. I know I hate it when I lose lane because I got outplayed and my team is raging, telling me never to play x champion or x role again, telling me to kill myself or uninstall.
We were still in it at the 40 minute mark, being about even in kills but down by a little bit in towers and objectives. Jinx was becoming somewhat relevant, having completed 2 items, and zed and I could 2v2 any 2 players on the enemy team, including the insanely fed lucian. Once our inhib went down our top lane nidalee started blaming the jinx a bit, but the rest of my team actually defended her, saying that it was okay, we all have bad games and that maybe she should practice her adcs a bit more in normals. We lost the game, but we put in a good effort. There were times we aced the enemy team and were able to capture objectives and towers to keep ourselves in the game. Jinx got caught out while she was trying to farm and the rest of us just couldn't 4v5.
Even though we lost we felt we had at least put in an effort while most teams would have surrendered at 20 with the scores being what they were at that time. It was nice to have a game like that after a bunch of bad games in a row where my teammates wouldn't stop spamming chat. I try to only speak in chat to give constructive advice and praise to teammates for good plays. Sometimes I get caught in the middle of the arguing and it's difficult to hold it in. I'm glad my team didn't blame bot lane as a whole for losing the game. I hate when I'm in a duo lane and my lane partner is playing bad, but I'm holding it together and I get blamed. Our zed even called me a "godly morgana" at one point for getting a triple kill in a 1v3 where I got caught out. I duo'ed with the zed for the rest of the night, and I got into my promos. I wasn't expecting to receive honours after a game that we lost, since people tend to only honour after winning a game. I did honour the zed and lee sin myself.
TLDR; focus on the good games, not the bad ones. Sure the bad games seem to outweigh the good ones, but some people in this community are amazing human beings and they are what keep us playing.
and thought this guy is awesome because of what he can do. But in top lane, I went against a
, before the nerf, who constantly stunned and insta-killed me a lot. I only built a lifesteal. So its the end of the game and my team is raging at me. But one guy says this.
