I'm tired of being silent...

Okay lets get this over with Yes im Silver 4 Will this be downvoted to oblivion? Yes Do i care? No I just need to get this off my chest.

TL;DR: Stop generalizing premades and solo players! They are NOT all the same! Just stop this petty fued all together and play the game. We wouldnt even have a game without both groups.

I check the boards daily, why? 'Cause sometimes theres some really cool ideas or funny gifs and jokes, but i look at them in silence. Today though? Oh today. The amount of ragers because of solo que being confirmed to never come back is just... Why? So much that i have to say something.

No I am on NO ONES side i hate how this little solo vs premade war is a thing and all it is, is generalizing each group! "Oh premades are toxic because they gang up on us solo players" "Oh solo players should suck it up and play with friends they have instead of trying to act all alone" No both sides need to shut up and suck it up! I am so sick and fucking tired of all the shit the boards give riot games and more importantly (sorry riot) EACHOTHER!

heres a fun story I cant have a club tag at the end of my name anymore "Aw boowho who cares" Cause my friends and i get flamed by the solo players for just being a premade Flamed in champ select just because i played with a friend or three. No not every solo player is like that i have met wounderful solo players and i honor everyone of them. Now... Heres a question Has a premade ever yelled at you JUST because you were soloing? Yes? Well then they're assholes , who dont understand how the game works and i think you arent remembering clearly. No? Yeh thought so (Will they flame you if you do somethingg they dont like? Of course EVERYONE WILL! But no premade flames you for no reason i bet you anything if they do they just had a shit day and is taking it out on others like we all do)

Now that i said my premade side let me go to solo

Yes i used to solo all the time when team builder and solo/duo ranked were a thing Do i solo que now? No i dont, i'm too scared No not of being flammed i was flammed so much when i solo'd last season i couldnt care less i just mute them and move on with my life, yes i know thats hard for a lot of people i understand, i used to be like that but i was flammed so much i just got used to it. But the reason i dont solo anymore is because i feel pressured i feel like if we get behind its my fault and its not because im being flammed by a premade its just how i work. (But thats what every premade flames at soloers for right? Also lack of communication sometimes coughstoprelayingonskypeandlookatchateverynowandthen,premadespleaseandthankyoucough) i dont solo because of myself its a lame excuse and i dont excpet people to like it cause at this point it feels like im defending premades right? But i promise you im not. I know theres a ton of premades out there that are assholes but not EVERY premade

And thats my point! Stop generalizing the two groups
Some Solo players flame Some premades flame Some Solo players are cool Some premades are cool

Okay? There will ALWAYS be flammers no matter what riot does! Im tired of seeing this community constantly at civial war its always one group vs another... I've only been playing since season 4 so i have close to no experiance hell i expected people to close this when they read i was silver 4 cause our opinion doesnt matter... Another war

I know we're humans And we're just competitive Its how we are... But some of us... Just need to stop and think take a breath and relax and remember that people are reading everything we write On the boards In game People ya know, people like you.

Waunder if anyone realized this game would be nothing without solo players All this bs that "Oh riot hates us solo players cause premades bring in more money" Shut up they have no way of measuring that you're just being ridicules (yes someone acturlly said this)

This was just a spur of the moment rant i'll probably delete it later
But for those that read it before i deleted it, thanks means a lot

I honestly am sometimes really happy to be part of this community but other times i just question why... And i do so in silence but after today i had to say something... Its just gone way too far.

Gl hf soloers and premades I wish every single one of you the best because its what everyone deserves.

And the rain of downvotes begins

you my friend are right. we have lost sight as a community what it means to work together, and in this game we are separated by Rank, what mode we play, our invisible MMR and ELO, and who we play with. but you my friend you have laid bare all that which we have forgotten.

On this game our rank simply determines how skilled we are (sometimes) but it doesn't mean we have to rage or flame those lower or above us because they are better or worse. we shouldn't hate a premade because they are with their friends (hell that might be the only day they play as a premade all week) nor should we hate the solo players since they might normally not play as solos all the time or only in certain situations.

We all have our reasons but we shouldn't fight because of them and you sir, you do not deserve a downvote in fact you deserve a RED comment because they should thank you for being an exemplar of what teamwork means

You have my thanks NorthWolf [zombie-brand-clap] [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Posts like these give me misguided hope for the boards.

idk what it was called tho.....oh wait..... SOLO queue....... a queue that you queue up for....SOLO.....sure they had choice for duo but they had no choice for 3-4-5 and u werent guaranteed a duo either

I read this and agree with both sides. However my biggest issue is communication. I play solo or pre-made don't give a fuck BUT PLEASE for the love of god respond and pay attention to your chat as much as possible. I have one friend who bitches if I ping in game and I have to tell him all the time IDC this is a good mechanic and good habit it tells more people than your duo/group where someone is at or about wards. Secondly unless you're at a very high rank and are in a region to practice which counts for VERY very few of us I absolutely HATE when people come into a server hop into ranked and don't USE the main language of the server. yes I stay away from foreign servers because of this even though pre-server move i had much lower ping in LAN. Do I know spanish? yes but very little. The worse part is I'd rather feel like I was being ignored by the pre-mades than sit there and watch my chat be flooded with stuff i don't understand but has MY champions name in the sentence. Now on the other hand some servers do have multiple languages but they have a main language that gets predominately used. It's just frustrating to go in game and see nothing but boxes from peoples chat, french ( i know some Canadians are french 1st) and i know everyone had to play in one spot before. However, that was then this is now. We have differing regions where your language is being spoken. sorry this was something that bothers me and felt the need to rant. Because I personally would not go to other servers (regions) unless I had no other option.
