#bronzelife - In What Competitive Sport Do Players Routinely Just Decide To Throw A Game?

I was embarrassed to be associated with my high school tennis teams because one of the boys threw his match to get his seed for state, and a doubles team for the girls completely blew off their seeding match to get ready for prom. I was mad because they'd beat me and my partner to go to state and we stuck around the courts to watch them play.

Xin is not a tank.

Xin was splitpushing, a viable strategy.

What is with the mobility boot spam? Do all Bronze level players do this? Why would anyone run mobi boots after laning phase is over and grouping up becomes crucial? Makes zero sense to me. Especially if they were dying so much too.

The OP just has a big ass ego. I played in a game with him before, where he chose Master Yi as jungler on 3rd pick. He gave up first blood, whined about his team, and couldn't farm if his life depended on it. He was quick to throw around blame, never bothered about trying to secure Dragon, let alone ward or protect it from the other team, and didn't really gank lanes, despite how the opposing team's jungler was serving us up burgers on a regular basis by always getting up in our grill, yo.

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if his own team got fed up with his sorry ass and either muted him, reported him after the game, or both. I know I did.

I see you're gaining some lp from last time, just don't play a champion like teemo who can't carry weight

At your level, it isn't so much a competitive sport, more so a pick up game.

See? This entire thread was just to validate the OP's ego. It's natural to get frustrated over the game (hell, we all do). It's also natural to try to solicit sympathy from friends and people who understand. But it's another thing altogether, to post on a public forum, and bitch about your team's jungler because he chose not to listen to you. Seriously, every player here has had conflicts and disagreements during game. To create a thread with a post-game screenshot just so you can feel better about yourself is ego-stroking.

The whole point about the OP's thread is that someone disagreed with him, and that infuriates him to no end. When someone pointed out that the above-mentioned jungler was probably split-pushing, the OP tries to find a way to save face. And when someone points out that he has a big ego, the OP takes that as a personal attack, and tries to vindicate himself by posting some comments he made to make that someone look bad.

Though, in reality, he's just asserting that he really does have a big ego. It's not a personal attack; it's an observation. The fact that this thread was created just supports that observation. Plus, the OP thinks he's really savvy by posting his reasons on someone who called bovine feces on him. Let's take a look at that, shall we?

SpiderTeo 3/23/3015 dodge? maybe reasons: unskilled feeder, toxic blame gamer, & etc (not sure what the etc was for...usually for being stoned or drunk) notes: mental case, keep muted

Now, as you can see, he doesn't state anything specific:

• "Unskilled feeder?" Hell, in a losing game, everyone can be accused of feeding, I even admit that of myself as much as I hate to. Or it could just be the_ Dyrus Effect_, where one player is constantly targeted by the opposing team and is made underfarmed and underleveled later in the game.
• "toxic blame gamer?" When someone tells you how you screwed up or what you need to do, it's not being so much as toxic as being observant of what's going around. I do not blankly assign blame without stating specifically what needs to be addressed. In the game where I was playing on the same team with the OP, I let him know that he wasn't ganking, counter-ganking, warding Dragon, or keeping up his own farm if he wasn't ganking. Then he gets indignant because I called him on it. Well, I also called him on playing Master Yi as jungler, but then if he wants to play like a bronzie, then I can't stop him from playing like a bronzie.
• "& etc (not sure what the etc was for...usually for being stoned or drunk)" Dude, that's all on the OP. If he can't keep himself sober, then anything he claims is, at best, questionable.
• "notes: mental case, keep muted" Yes, I am a mental case. Mental illness is not a triviality, nor a condition that I take lightly. Nonetheless, just because I'm crazy doesn't mean that what I'm saying is not true. As we can see from my posts, I can communicate quite coherently, and able to argue my case without having to rely on rhetoric. Now if he wants to keep me muted, then hey, that's his prerogative, and I will not challenge that.

I don't remember the game, but jungle is my worst position, so I don't doubt I may have done poorly. However, I doubt the rest of what you said went down the way you said it.

Fortunately, I do remember the game. Here is the link to the match history.

As we can see, I wasn't the "unskilled feeder" that he claims that I am. Oh yes, I did die more times than I would have liked, and that could possibly label me as a "feeder." But I was not "unskilled." Or at least, I was skilled enough to get the most kills of my team, and also give up the least number of deaths as well (tied with the Nasus player).

Also, as I mentioned previously, the OP was 3rd pick, so he could have chosen not to be the jungler, if that was indeed his worst position. There was nothing to stop him from choosing support or mid lane. But yet, he chose to be jungler... Hmm...?

Right now, I have stated my case quite clearly and completely. This thread is simply to validate the OP's ego. Unfortunately, by doing so, he opens himself up to further criticism. And as the OP tries to refute any criticism against himself, it is only made more obvious that such criticisms have much more credibility than any claims he can make. Personally, I think the OP should just shut up (to prevent himself from looking even worse), improve his gameplay, stop using Master Yi as a jungler, quit making accusations about games when he was under the influence, and try not to piss off SpiderTeo.

damm those builds on...now i see why cait hard carry
