my welcome back to the game :(

Oddysseas··1 votes·382 views

So i took a break from the game, and after a week i am back, first game, i am second pick, this guy who is fourth pick says im top,

The enemy picks an olaf, so i pick heimerdinger and I SAY in chat ' im top'

No reply, fourth pick dude locks in morde with teleport, and he claims i didn't call top, even tho i had.

I tell him to scroll up and see it, he sais i didn't call.....

I tell him to pick heal or exhaust cause he will have to suport, he doesn't.

Game starts he comes top with me...

After our adc dies lux who is our mid goes bot as sup, and morde leaves and goes mid where his 1-4 ( fed enemy lb)

We lose the game and you know what is the funny thing, i got reported by caitlyn because even tho i wslas second pick and called top, she sais i shoulda gone sup with HEIMER ! While noone says anything about morde who was fourth pick and autolocked top even tho i had called it..

This community is r%%%%%ed, i might just take a perma break, i can handle trolls its just too much, blaming others for their poor performance and reporting me who was right and not the troll...

Why didn't you ask the guy who called top, if it was ok for you to go top? Sure you have the pick order on your side, but there is no reason to be non-diplomatic about it. A little communication goes a LOOOOONG way.

Because i main top, calling roles in ranked is nothing, so if i am last pick i can say im top and than means i get it ??? Nah bro pick order, i also was expecting a meel top so i can pick heimer and i got a meele top so i wasn't gonna let that go.

He must respect pick order just like i do when i am fourth.

Also the only roles left were sup and jung, neither of which i like playing or i am particularly good at

Right, but that doesn't mean it is right for you to say "Pick Order, stfu". That is just being non-communicative, and doesn't help you build trust and a positive reputation with 5 strangers. Does it hurt you any more to say something like "Sorry, [summoner ID], I'm going to jump on top because I main that role and have the perfect counter for X champ." and then choose top.

This isn't a right or wrong scenario, but more of a treaing people the way you want to be treated. What I am talking about is a way to set yourself up to win more games. If you act like a teamplayer, generally people will respond well to you, and you have a better chance of winning games.

Aren't you the same one who thought the "league is love, league is life" was a legitimate post?

-- on another note, you seem to have some kind of valid point. This kind of thing happens quite often. You'll be happy to hear that the tribunal isn't a thing at the moment and you shouldn't be worried about bans and such hince they are the ones making the decisions off reporting (as long as its not griefing or harassing). Just shake it off and realize that the community isn't THAT great. You should be fine.

Here's the order of priority supported by Riot to determine who gets which role, from highest priority to lowest:

  1. Communication - speaking with your team about what you each want to play is the best option, as it helps cement team cohesion early on, and creates a more positive environment, which leads to greater team morale.
  2. Pick Order - if communication is impossible, pick order is the default. Having a method that's unaffected by lag or loading delays helps ensure that all players can at least be on the same page.
  3. Call Order - if Pick Order cannot be determined (blind pick, for example), call order is an alternative. It is the lowest priority because it is the most dependent on external factors, and so is the most likely to lead to arguments.

By Pick Order (2), you were right - as the higher pick, you choose the lane you want to play.

Your failing, here, was in Communication (1) - you had the opportunity to attempt to discuss things with your team, perhaps reaching a compromise, but elected not to do so.

The typical consequences of failure of communication are evident - a divisive team, a negative environment, and lower morale.

I feel the Lux deserves a special mention for attempting to help mitigate the issue - solid team-play, there.

Communication is good but you what is more important? It is to get the role you feel more comfortable playing in a ranked game. If there was a ranged champion top i wpuld have considered giving up on it, since it was olaf i was going to get top no matter what, i was second pick and since first pick got adc it was my right to get top. End of story

You speak as if the two were incompatible. They aren't.

I never said it wasn't. In fact, I specifically said "By Pick Oder, you were right - as the higher pick, you choose the lane you want to play."

That doesn't change the fact that you communicated poorly, and thereby helped lower your team's morale and cohesion, and aided in creating a negative environment. All of which could have been avoided simply by communicating more effectively.
