SO yeah... I just played 2 games in a row. First one everyone but me feeds 10+ because they keep fighting the enemy team despite being down by 15 kills. 2nd game, everyone is 10 deaths plus except for the top lane xin who died 16 times. I'm sorry, but this happens way too much. I finally won my series, but fell right away the same day because of this shit... I mean I understand I need to carry, but how can you carry if every other game you play you are on a team who have all died 10+ tiems...

Someone on the forums said it well, and I've modified it somewhat. Unless you are miles ahead of everyone else in the game, you'll probably lose 33% or so of your games with nothing you could have done to prevent it. You'll also probably win 33% or so of games with you not really doing anything to accomplish it, which leaves 33% of your games relying on your personal contributions. I feel like this is a relatively healthy way to look at it, because it tells us two things:

  • Some games are straight up unwinnable, no matter who you are.
  • Sometimes you get carried, and that's OK.

The rest? Totally up to you. Bad teams are what gives you the bottom 33%, good teams are what gives you the top 33%, and everything in the middle hinges on how well you as an individual do.
