Sickening Player Greed! You CARRY! But your Team STARVES.
Now I am sure there are going to be people who are just going to flame and troll and tell me "get gud" or some trollish Sh!t like that. but I am getting really sick of this notion that in a TEAM based game, that requires everyone to work together. The latest trend is that ONE player goes off the walls obscene with kills. While the rest of the team has to suffer and fight over scraps, evidently going negative. Its happening in MORE and MORE games I am seeing this emphasis on one person who has to "hard carry" the team. They dont HELP thier team but instead sweep in and take all the kills for themselves so they can get the praise and adulation of "I carried my whole team on my back, Look how great I am" and personally I am getting sick of it. Like...really REALLY sick of it. Yes I know I have alot to improve on. But I get into these matches where ONE player is like 34/2 while the rest of the team has gone completely negative (0/2.1/7,1/1, etc) and they are completely falling behind. Why? Because the arrogant dip with the ego bragging about how great they are doesnt bother BACKING OFF when the enemy is last hit to help the team gets fed, but lets the team suffer and starve over whatever kills manage to escape the "carry"s eye.
Its not about playing as a team, its about 1 Person having the most kills. And keeping the rest of the team low so the 1 player can brag about how great they are, rather than how they helped thier team. Again I know they dont -Have- to share kills. But the way I see it, If you have NO interest in Helping your TEAM become equal parts carry so YOU dont have to "carry the team on my back" then clearly the only reason you play the game is so you can brag about how superior you are to the other 4 people on your team. And I refuse to help someone further inflate thier own already sickeningly inflated ego. Its a Team game. I am getting sick of people who come in and treat it like a call of duty free-for-all where all that matters is "who has most kills" at the end of the match.
I can see WHY OVERWATCH matches dont keep track of kills on a scoreboard. It makes the match about the OBJECTIVE. Not each player's Own individual kda. which turn people greedy and self centered. Happy to sabotage thier team for thier own PERSONAL benefits. Its not about who has most kills, its about how much time was spent on the objectives, How many points were captured, team assists, etc. Any kill/death count appears at the END of the match.
People are leaving League for overwatch, If you were curious why? this is part of the reason. League has become little more than spoiled brats only looking for "I carry" or "Most kills" and not about "We took that tower" or "gj TEAM"
People can tell me how I am just whining and complaining. But I have been playing sinse season 3. So I have had alot of time to watch these trends take hold. and Being autistic/aspergers, I am very observant. People are less focused on winning as a team and more about THEMSELVES. All so they can turn around and spit on the other 4 members of thier teams. The one with the most kills will not help thier team, but turn around and /all chat "Why do I get saddled with these trash teams?". And they will do this in the same breath that they dive into mid and sweep a kill out from mid player who has been struggling to get that enemy down to last hit, essentially ripping a kill out of Mid's hands and taking it for themselves.
I only play league for now untill I can get a better computer. But league is literally giving me grey hairs. The level of greed, narcissism, arrogance and overall "me me me me me" On a TEAM based game is quite nauseating. The summoner's code? Its a joke, laughed off by every one of these players who leave thier team behind all so they can have the most kills and turn around and talk about how "garbage feeders" thier teammates are. They never help thier teammates catch up, and instead throw rocks at the feet of thier teammates running behind them.
Again, awaiting the troll comments, the "u just suk" responses. The "Stat" strawman. Or the other attempts to make any point I try and make invalid because "git gud" Its not about Me, it is about the toxic cloud hanging above this community that people refuse to see.
