I Gotta Stop Talking To These Goldies When I Q With Low Level Friends

Because dear god is it a cancer fest. They see you're Diamond and think that you magically have the power to single handedly win the game while also being the team's tank and the focus of the enemy jungler's attention -- which is a good thing if you have a competent team that makes use of the lack of enemy jungle, with goldies though, ehhhh. Oh and they all think that their actions are perfect and justified with sound reason despite carrying out such common mistakes (that are, once again, "justified"). Things such as an ADC going bot lane to farm for the entire game and when a fight happens with his 4 teammates he says "Why did you fight without me?" and his duo partner says "Why did we fight without him?" as if I had a say in the enemy 5 man engage. It's pretty frustrating when you explain it to them, mind you I did it without undermining him whatsoever or using any harmful language whatsoever, and having him and his butt buddy rebuttle with "You're an idiot" "You're 1/7" "You engaged without him" as if their ears are immune to logic. I'm not saying this sort of stuff doesn't happen in Diamond, but those guys in Diamond tend to correct their mistakes even if they verbally deny it as a mistake (thus why they are Diamond). Golds and below, however, will try to prove a point for some god awful reason and continue to make the same mistake over and over and over. Who knows, maybe he legitimately thinks that leaving your team to 4 man fend off the enemy while you splitpush as the team's main DPS is a good idea. The really sad part though is that his duo bud who is with us in this 4 man struggle is defending this. As if logic and self-suffering isn't enough to make him disagree with his blatantly wrong duo.

And one HUGE mistake that I made. At one point I said whilst fighting the enemy (cuz I'm a tank so sometimes I can do that jazz) "Corki keep shooting" in response to how he was untargeted by anyone but continued to move away from the enemy without firing shots between move commands (for a good 2-3 seconds which is gamebreaking in a teamfight). Ofcourse the reply was "Stfu I was shooting". Which, ofcourse, is a cringe-worthy blatant lie.

All in all this is all basically to say that my adventures in premade games with my lower leveled friends is a trip to the toxic zoo known as Gold and below. It's a truly nonsensical world down there, filled with all sorts of toxicity. Ofcourse there are also the nice and intelligent people who are just mechanically unskilled such is the case with all my friends (but don't tell them! lol).
