Bringing the team down.

So today I have lost 4 matches in a row. Not due to my own skill not being good enough, or the other team being so much better. But because I have had a teammate/s let the team down. Usually it's jung, I have had a couple games now where they don't do anything and spend most the match running around not helping anyone or helping the people who don't actually need it, whilst ignoring pings for assitance. Other times it's just been a team mate who is toxic and just being an ass because they didn't get the lane they wanted.

It's now become rare for me to play a game win or lose where it's been a good fair game where everyone did their best. It's usually a one sided match because one or more players either aren't helping team mates or are just being toxic, bringing the team down. After a lot of matches I've won the other team will have asked us to report a player because they were being toxic or intentionally feeding.

I for one am sick of it, I am sick of playing games that within the first 10 mins you can tell if you are going to win or lose because of one player bringing everyone down. I have been seeing it more and more, and it's making the game not worth playing. I don't know if it's because the tribunal has been down so it's taking longer for reports to get done, or if just more and more toxic players are playing, but it's bringing the game overall down.

I don't know if ranked games are any better since I have yet to play any, but I'm not sure I'll even make it to that level now since playing just isn't fun anymore when you are getting players who don't want to work as a team and who ignore everyone else, costing the team the match.

That's my rant done. If anyone has any team mate horror stories they want to share feel free, it will be interesting to hear other peoples stories regarding this.

yeah I am having issues today with teamates like crazy I played solid I wouldn't say I played the best but when one game started out like 1/14 and I am 1/1 on kog with a top laner that starts 0/8 it gets frustrating but that isn't what I am complaining about it is the toxic behavior in both my games today it always starts at lvl 1

the first game started with our top laner who fed all game blaming my support for having bad stats on lolking, he harassed him all game even though we played just fine in bot while he was 0/8 and continued to feed.

the second games we had a tryn who did not communicate till he got into game then decided to verbally harass everyone that he was the best finished 4/9 it is so frustrating like usually the toxicity starts after some misplays or some feeding but it is literally starting before minions spawn they single handedly bring down the entire team morale with their attitude. this tends to happen everytime I am in promos. like promos just attract the most toxic/feeder/afk prone players and it is annoying #platproblems
