What aggrivates you the most in game?

xJesterx91·Jan 28, 2015·11 votes·2,698 views

So lately I've been playing a lot of jungle. One thing I've slowly started to realize aggravates the hell out of me is when your team can't hold their lane for 3-4 minutes to give you time to farm. My last game jungling last night mid died twice before I could even get all my buffs. ADC and top tried to blame me for not going down there and trying to gank mid who was already two levels ahead of me and mid obviously couldn't do anything. Maybe that's just me not playing jungle right, but from the games I have played most can hold lane long enough for me to farm a bit to be effective. (Any tips appreciated)

Anyways, what gets under your guys skin that your team mates do?

When a "smurf" player become toxic and bashes their teammates for every mistakes...I mean really, you're playing against/with lower elo players, don't expect them to be playing on the same level you are. If you're gonna smurf, at LEAST have some sportsmanship.

KnucklefistJan 28, 20156 votes

Oh god the smurfs are the worst. God forbid the other team starts to focus them, or build around them. The rage that follows......classic. Smurfs be like..."check my history". HAHAHa. I'll alt+tab out of this game window and jump right on that!

I still don't understand why people smurf.

ChrisB5Jan 29, 20152 votes

Self-validation because they're horrible people.
Helping friends learn (I've done this before but would play w/o runes or masteries to even the playground, and experiment off builds).

Smurfing in most cases is just pathetic. Last time I've logged into a smurf was against bots w/ a friend of mine, and it was a lot of fun. Nobody rages against bots... it was nice.

I beg to differ. While it was only one intermediate bot game a long time ago, it still happened. The guy wanted to play top solo and was ranked silver. Everyone else including myself was unranked. I decided to jungle - game starts off normally enough. As it goes on I can tell from mid and bots performance that they were quite new to the game. They were mostly dying to the bots but also getting a few kills. The guy on top lane the entire time is blasting them with "you guys suck, noobs GTFO, and F*&^tards uninstall". Telling them it's a bot game how are bots getting fed. I jump in and try to calm the situation down and the guy goes off on me too. Telling me to shut up, I'm not even helping, jungling in a bot game was stupid. So, I told him that he was the one who wanted to solo top lane where was I suppose to go and that I was helping out the guys in mid and bot. After that the guy went bonkers and started feeding. Suffice to say it wasn't a pleasant game.

ChrisB5Jan 29, 20151 votes

Oh wow, I hope he got reported! I mean in ranked, even norms, but bots? That's an all time low right there. I can say it does happen a lot less than in norms/ranked though, agreed? lol.

WathehellsupdogJan 29, 20151 votes

Yea, we reported the guy. More than likely though that account was a smurf so it probably wouldn't of done much.

ChrisB5Jan 30, 20151 votes

I actually had a game today where we had no jungler against bots. Akali kept telling me "get out of mid or I'll report." I told him we could duo, cause it's just bots who cares? He kept yelling report and said he was a diamond smurf... in beginner ai. First, why does that matter. I was testing out a new champ and have the current click-lag issue... what was HIS excuse? Ha. But yea if nothing else, if he keeps it up, he'll get a permaban which would mean getting a NEW smurf to 30. Not as bad as a real ban, but... maybe if a user gets banned enough, they'll stop. One can hope lol.

I love being one of the "nice smurfs". I've been playing on NA for a while now, but heard that LAN had much better ping and one day said "What the heck, why not?" and made a second account to try it out. While I do not speak fluent Spanish, I can get my point across. While I'm slightly mean and tend to play hyper carries and just melt the enemy team, I still explain how and why to do certain things. It is super annoying when I go mid Akali and start off 5/0/0 but up top Volibear gets fed at 9/0/2 and I can't take him on, but I get quite a few people are no where near my skill level.

I do greatly enjoy telling the first-time Twisted Fate player why he should build Lich Bane instead of Tear of the Goddess, it's fun to teach people how to play the game.

I'm that guy who joined a club for community service and helped programs with volunteer time, and helping new players brings back that good feeling (: It really does feel good. Plus it makes me feel like a pro, when I know I'm not xD At least I'm honest about it lol. I just happen to know a lot more through trial and error :P

INTER5TELLARJan 28, 20157 votes

from the sound of it, that's a typical jg match. I haven't really attempted the new jg much, but I still remember from the old one the constant pings for assists/ganks before the 3-4 minute mark. If a laner can't see right away the playstyle of their opponent, then yeah, they'll probably die a lot. Jg is a pretty thankless job, tbh. Support even moreso in many cases. Also, the primary aim of blame haha

What grinds my gears is when my team pisses and moans about "off meta" choices. I enjoy playing off meta, every so often, namely in the support role. Support Anivia always gets gripes and then I land a successful wall netting the ADC a kill and they shrug it off. Or I land stun after stun with her Q. Also, I enjoy support Ashe (look at her secondary role on her official champion profile before you say anything) and usually we steamroll lane but not before I get a myriad of negative verbal jabs (or even a tyrade of hateful comments).

Also, ADCs who cry about me taking 2-3 cs by accident. I'm so sorry for accidentally having taken 2 cs by level 10. I'll go uninstall -_- even better when I get relic shield and they complain, not understanding the item XD

I've started to learn people who never play jungle are the quickest to bash you and say you're garbage. Played with a Yasuo last night when I was WW, he kept bashing me the entire game after mid had fed Lux super early and she was so far ahead of everyone else. Then they went and fed JarvanIV and once he's fed he's hard to stop. Toxic team mates really make me want to blow the game but I'm so dam competitive I can't bring myself to do that lol.

ChrisB5Jan 29, 20151 votes

"I need a gank!" "But your lane is pushed to tower and he's defending." "Doesn't matter." "Okay well bot lane is not doing so hot, and you're pushing to tower... they clearly need me more than you." "No you're a noob report for no ganks." What. I'm paraphrasing, but this has happened before. I avoid jungle at all costs now. Jungle is the new support. Jungle is the go-to for team blaming it seems.

Tasty SweetsJan 28, 20156 votes

I couldn't agree more. I main support all the time and I hardly get Anything out of it. I mean just once and awhile it would be nice for some people to give their support a Good job,tbh we help out a lot. To get yelled at for 8cs kills is just ridiculous. Most of the time I have a hard time with the adc who one is a headless chicken and running around When I'm doing good pokes. Or they run off so fast with out support and just feed the lane. Most people blame JG and Support when you really shouldn't be so greedy and think you can 1v3 or dive in when no one can get to you fast. We can only control so much and be at one place at a time. soo spaming the ping and raging is just annoying. Or understand you have to push after you are done with team fights. or when to group up when needed not go off and run after someone causing the group to split up drives me nuts. Better yet when in team fights People focus on the tank when they need to take down adc or assins. TANKS WILL NOT DIE LATE GAME IN A TEAM FIGHT. I understand some maybe able to be god and take on 3 at one time and good job to you but if you know you cant...JUST STOP.
But all in all we need to have more love going around, Trolls need to grow up and people need to start playing for right reasons.and be a team and support each other with positive feed back. If you see a mistake dont rage and actually help out the person to fix it. Communication goes a long way.

CTG SgtScootsJan 28, 20154 votes

Lately it has been all of the junglers that farm for the first 15 minutes and only pressure one lane. It really bothers me when the jungler ignores bot lane completely, which allows the enemy team full dragon control.

xJesterx91Jan 28, 20152 votes

Yeah I've seen junglers completely ignore lanes. I do what I can to jump between all lanes. I just can't stand when you're helping one lane and the other lanes get mad because you aren't there. One player can't be all 3 lanes at once. I'm not the best but people have to be able to hold their lane for a bit before they except the jungle to come save their ass. Even if you die once it puts you behind just play more passive and don't be so aggressive.

KnucklefistJan 28, 20152 votes

I'm guilty of that sometimes but tbh there are reasons bottom doesnt get ganked. Usually its no vision or the fact that one or both are always dead or in the base. It's kind of hard to gank for lanes that dont set themselves up for ganks. For example....some bot lanes are pushed the whole time, until they get ganked or one of them dies. So they go from looking like they dont need help to needing a gank, but I might be all the way across the map....by the time i can make it over there....nobody to gank or its both bottom enemies and the jungler and just me and the support maybe. Jungler is probably my worst role and I usually only take it if I'm filling. With that being said, other people should be winning their lanes if I was forced to take the leftover role. Not expecting me to carry them playing my worst role. I honestly had to ignore a team for a good 15 minutes yesterday as udyr. I made a few random ganks that were largely unsuccessful early on just to provide a presence, but then i just farmed till I was super tanky. Then I started teamfighting and the game was over. I was pretty good about getting dragon though. I soloed 3 i believe.

TsundayJan 28, 20154 votes

The funny thing is botlane is the most important lane to camp. As a support main I don't believe I particularly need ganks in my lane but at the same time if a jungle camps bot and gets bot fed that is three allies fed and at least two if not three enemies who are behind on top of dragon control. That's pretty much a game in the bag right there. I can win my lane on my own, I don't need the jungler but at the same time I want to feed the jungler, I want him down here so I can feed my ADC and my jungler, and I want him down here so I can feed me Mid/Top dragon buffs.

KnucklefistJan 28, 20152 votes

that's what separates the good bottom lanes from the bad ones. A good bottom lane will let the lane push so its easier for the jungle to gank, not push until they force the other jungler to gank them. I'm sure you try to take care of vision as well as a support main. The problem is that most people who support arent doing it by choice so they neglect the basics....like vision control.

AJStarhikerJan 28, 20153 votes

In teambuilder, when someone says they're learning a champion/role and another player starts harassing them for poor play. Seriousy, how else is anyone supposed to get better? By 30, bots are only good for 1st wins and kit familiarization.

When people try to take objectives or teamfight in the jungle while enemy minions are swarming our inhibitors-- or worse, the nexus turrets.

FinalSeraphLeoJan 28, 20153 votes

I main jungle and it annoys the living f**k out of me when ever lane wants a gank at 4 1/2 minutes in all at the exact same time. I expect my lanes to at least hold their own until about 7 minutes in when I actually have some items and levels build up. Jungle is already a pain enough as it is now without having to literally hold your teams hand through the start of the match.

The nasus who has been farming his Q for 35 minutes but been in 0 team fights. The support who doesnt ward or buy a sightstone. Anyone who cant hold their lane till at least level 4. The top laner who cries about getting camped but keeps pushing and never wards. The person or two who sees all 5 enemies at the dragon and basically goes and suicides with no smite " cuz drags are important ". The person who goes 3 and 16 and keeps saying its good, we got this, kills dont matter, teamwork. Supporting adc's that rush static shiv first. The phrase KS. Minion pathing so bad that its the equivalent of a stun sometimes. Non mobile adc's that take ignite and barrier as summoners. Just a few things I hate that come to mind. lol

xJesterx91Jan 28, 20152 votes

Sounds like me, I just went with one thing because I've been playing jungle lately. I could probably go on and on with my own top, but yet for some reason I still love this game lol. Hey we're down 5 kills and one person just got a killing spree lets forfeit it's over gg. Shut up hold your dam lane, play passive what ever idc just don't freaking FF lol

TsundayJan 28, 20152 votes

"It's okay guys we have a better late game comp"

I swear in my elo if you're losing a game there is always that person who claims we have the better late game. It doesn't matter if the enemy team has a nasus and vayne and we're sitting here with a Cait and a Lulu top (both of which fall off late game) someone still claims we have the better late game. :/

MrBuffingtonJan 30, 20151 votes

I agree with your point, but just a minor thing; Cait's late game is actually really strong because of her range and her passive damage. ADCs are naturally strong late game as a class, but one of the ADCs that have weaker scaling into late game is Corki, since his autos are nothing special and that he deals a lot of magic damage, which you usually itemize against in the late game.

TsundayJan 30, 20151 votes

I don't believe Cait's late game is 'weak' I believe Cait's spike falls off late game. She is a mid game adc because she doesn't have a good late game steroid. Vayne, Twitch, Trist, they all have steroids that take the same items Cait has and amplifies their damage with massive AS or bonus AD or other such abilities. Cait, Ashe, and MF are my ADCs. I don't play ADCs that shine late game (because let's face it that 1 offensive normal ability on Ashe is not going to make her carry as strong as a level 18 Tristy before the 100 Tristy nerfs).

I don't think she's weak late game but there are a lot less 'early game ADCs' than there are late game ADCs that outdamage Cait.

MrBuffingtonJan 30, 20151 votes

This is incorrect. Cait is strongest in the early game, but also very strong late. She's weakest (not necessarily 'weak', she doesn't dip as hard as say Tristana, but this is her weakest point) in the mid game when she's not just in lane bullying people but she also doesn't have her items yet. Yes, she's not a hypercarry like Vayne, but she's stronger than most ADCs late game because this is the point where auto attacks are dealing the most damage because of crit or some other scaling, like Vayne's true damage; generally champions with long range and/or high attack speed do best late game; Caitlyn has one of these, which makes her late game very strong still. Not having a late game steroid doesn't make her a mid game champion; a mid game champion is someone like Corki who gets an astronomical powerspike with just Trinity Force and is doing a ton of mixed damage with all his spells.

GrombleJan 28, 20152 votes

for me its that there isn't a team builder in ranked. 2nd is when you team is terrible and has no grasp of the basics of the match but won't surrender.

RogueWillJan 28, 20152 votes

If you want to keep everyone happy try the early game junglers (J4, xin zhao, lee sin, Shyvana) that can pull of a jungle at lvl 2 right after they take teh red buff.

However being a jungler is not about to keep everyone happy but to give your team an edge, doing whatever it involves. Last season I used to focus on dragons, by lvl 10 I would have solo 2 dragons and give my team a nice 1500 gold lead so even if the mid were 0/2 because of the dragons he wouldn't be so behind. With the new jungle this has become a bit harder, only the first dragon has any value early game and early ganks aren't really as rewarding. If I were you I would do some showing on mid, is not really a gank because you are not trying to kill the enemy or anything, you just show on your way to the other side of the map so the enemy mid will fall back a bit and your teammate can have a decent wave clear, However, bear in mind that the enemy jungle will know your position and may be able to try to invade your jungle so don't forget to ward your side to avoid surprises.

If he still keeps dying just forget about that lane and try to put ahead your other lanes, trying to gank a lane that is 2 levels ahead of you and your teammates will often result on a enemy double kill.

I main jungle and people blaming you for their mistakes isn't really rare. People seems to see you as some sort of lifeguard that will cover their own shortcomings.

What goes under my skin is people telling me to gank when they have their lane so pushed, Do they expect me to dive at lvl 4, get a kill and live (maybe pantheon can with his passive)?
