What is wrong with 4 man premades?

Lizufod·Dec 16, 2014·3 votes·1,257 views

Ive played with three 4 man premades tonight and many more since starting, and they almost all act the same. It's like they are not only completely ignoring you, but trying to make a game out of baiting you in to fights or watching you die from 3 steps away. I wouldn't care if it was like any other game where someone occasionally doesn't notice or isn't fast enough to react, but i'm sick of 4 man premades going out of their way to completely ignore the fact that they have a 5th member on the team. Oh, except to blame them for everything at the end and 4x report.

i've had it both ways. I've also played on 4-pre's and you are always a little wary of the randy. i guess thats normal! The best thing is to be friendly and when they start a bullying dynamic ignore right away and dont answer to it!

I play with 4 a lot, and we always seem to get a Hufflepuff for our random. They have no idea what they're doing, and they feed constantly. God forbid they ask for jungle, or every lane suffers from it. Pings and chat never seem to make a difference in talking to them. They don't care about strategy or what we should be doing. Baron? Nah, better get chickens. 5-man push? Nah, he's gonna split as Kog'Maw. -_-

I've seen some bad plays and worse players in this game, but by far the WORST are those that get paired with us when we queue as 4. It's like Riot's saying "These guys have a plan and can work together as a team. Better give them Rambo with a hint of brain damage."

I always get the asians on the NA server who won't speak english, even after asking them numerous times. Too bad reporting for "not communicating with team," is just there for show.

We play here because most don't have their own server, and China/Korea are region locked. Try to speak in a very simple English and I think most will communicate. If they don't, is because they're not talking to you, but something to the other asian teammate.

Like I said, I ask them to speak English. They say no. I'm not rude about it, but they refuse.

Something you need to be aware of. (I have a few Asian friends, with bad English.) The use of "No" isn't them being rude, it's simply what it is, no. It could be they don't know any other words, so they say no to let you know they can't speak it lol. Some just don't know all the nuances and stigmas we have behind certain words, to us just saying no when asked something like communicating is kind of rude. To the person you're asking though, them saying no might just be them saying no. :P

Yea, because I don't have any Asian friends, right? My friends, at least, make an EFFORT, even if their English isn't what you or I call, "good."

These players saying, "no," multiple times, when asked politely, is rude. It's a NORTH AMERICAN server. If you can't communicate with your team, you have no business playing on that server.

I lived in two foreign countries for apprx. 3 years. Do you think it's very respectful to go into a place of business and not even attempt to speak the language, no matter how bad you are at it? It's called being respectful.

I never said you don't have any Asian friends. The fact you got so defensive at that statement made me worry a tad. While I do agree with you that it is a North American server, you're getting too up in arms about it with your example. It's a game, you need to relax. Why should they have to be respectful? I think the only words they should learn is "muting everyone when game starts" so they don't have to deal with people like your self.

They should mute me for asking them politely to speak English on a NA server?

Are you serious? Do you think before you type words, or do you have no clue what you're saying?

Why should they be respectful of people in a TEAM GAME? Really? Great attitude you've got there.
