I just... Need to talk.

Ever had a match where even though your teammates are not trying to feed, it still feels like they're trying to lose? I just had that. I was playing Jinx, went 9/3 in the laning phase just to find out everyone else had fed like crazy and I was getting one shot left and right. Well, no problem, we can still do it. But my teammates won't defend lanes... I'm stuck trying to defend lanes by myself half the time while they jungle or, god knows what, and the enemy team keeps coming for me. At least two of my teammates were on the ball however, and we responded and killed the gankers.

But every time, my teammates just did something astoundingly... Self-defeating. Like, we wiped the enemy team, did baron, we all have full health, mid lane is open with no tower defending the inhibitor, I try to push... And they all recall. The entire enemy team is back up by the time my teammates run mid.

But no problem, right? We have the baron buff! We go for the inhibitor, enemy team initiates on our Jayce, I start attacking them, they turn on me, I kill one of them and take one of them to half health before they get me down and my GA procs. Then I notice I have no teammates around me. I look and they're all running away, everyone at full health except Jayce who's at half. Once I come back up and get killed for good, they actually go back and get themselves killed.

Then our Jax DCs for nearly two minutes while I struggle to defend bot and top lane at the same time while my teammates are STILL HE JANGLE. Enemy Jax burns his summoners and kills me. The enemy team then pushes in and thrones us.

I mean... That was so depressing. Even the few times they stuck by me during a team fight, Zed and Jax would jump me and my teammates woud just watch. No attempt to pull Jax off me, or to shield me, or even to attack them. They'd rather all chase the Tristana who just used rocket jump.

And then, just for good measure, by the end I found out I had built more MR than anyone else on my team and more armor than everyone but our Jax.

Always ready to cry.

Yeah this is what annoys me. People cam have bad mechanics and thats alright but when people make braindead decisions like going into unwarded enemy jungle to chase someone and die 2v5 late game meaning all youre left to defend 3v5. Also when the team fights while someone is dead. Also when ppl try to 2v3 defend the mid inhib while giving our last lane turret away thus expowing every inhib. I had a zzrot defending it all game so it made defending managable. Without tower zzrot loses much of its power.

There are a lot of times, when I don't play ADC, where I can't be bothered to protect to my lane. I'm so used to it taking me 30 seconds to just shove 4 waves that I can't sit there for 4 minutes to shove 3. Then there are the lanes where you're clearly winning, but you can't even make a dent into the turret. Not having wave clear is ass.

I was feeling bad for you until I realized there were 2 jax and therefore it was just a normal game. Wait until it starts happening in 1/4 of your ranked games. You can talk after.

I sent you an add :3 because i have the same problems, always begging my teammates to help me ward, push out lanes, and just take towers. It's silliness. So figured maybe we'd do well together. Although its a different acct. than this one.

Same thing with my Recent Shaco games, i find the problem to be that Noone really knows how to Support very well, i main support and i can tell you that every game i dont support in, the support is doing something for themselves rather than for the team.

on both sides sometimes,

also when playing shaco and your bot lane starts going in before you even get close to behind them in Stealth mode..... People just dont know mechanics anymore

Sounds like somebody accidentally walked into a bronze game. It sounded like bronze ranked until you said team builder. First time adc (or any role) in team builder tends to risk you meeting the legendary bronze.

I can completely understand. I actually reported someone for feeding one game because they were a Syndra vs Yasuo and the player kept running up into the middle of the minions and getting all-inned by Yasuo and dying, despite me asking them in chat to stand back and play safe. I assumed after a while they were just doing it on purpose. The next game, I got the same person again. They played fine - they were just really clueless about how to play vs a Yasuo. I felt bad about falsely reporting for feeding and apologized to the person, but sometimes it is hard to tell when someone is intentionally making poor decisions or throwing games on purpose. I am only Bronze I/Silver V, so I hardly think that I know everything there is to know about this game, but some of the things people do just really boggle the mind - and like you said, more often than not it's 2-3 people on the team doing them and the rest struggling to turn it into plays. I've been slowly rising up through Bronze maining support, and man is it exhausting having to ping, shot call, ward, and type all while trying not to get frustrated at people ignoring you again and again. I had a recent game that we ended up winning after a draining 55 minutes or so, while Vayne spent the whole game trying to see how many people she could take with her in a 1v3, 2v5, etc. situation with me frantically running around trying to help split push or peel so they could escape. An even bigger frustration is that 1 out of every 4-5 games has an obvious troll, such as people saying they are drunk, afking, saying "i'm done" and spamming surrender after 15 minutes of feeding, etc. I am worried sometimes that my account is going to get flagged for too many reports because of the sheer number of people who are refusing to communicate, afking, verbally abusive, etc. I feel like I report someone in 1/3 of my games, and none of them without cause (except for the occasional mistaking unskilled for intentional feeding). It's really a bummer.

honestly i think this is just a very very very serious case of nabs.

Unless you were in normal and they were promo, but i doubt any would like to waste that much time.

I just got out of a game with a soraka that refused to use her W. We won because the enemy had a worse comp than we did but it was still frustrating to sit there and die 8 times because your soraka refused to heal.
