Someday's I Hate My Teammates (Vent Thread Relating to Other Summoners (NO NAMING NAMES))

Last game was a win, but it was horrible. Darius ended up giving me issues as I was playing as Yasou in top, I don’t play him a lot, so I figured I’d change up my routine a bit and start playing people more I don’t play too often.

Our asshat of a Marksman, Tristana was dissing me for my build choices since I decided to build situationaly and not just mindlessly stack damage since I was having issues with survival and catching fleeing enemies, so I grabbed Ninja Tabi, BoRK and Frozen Mallet to help elevate those issues.

We managed to win, but Trist dissed me the entire time, tossing back my stats at me for subpar play (yeah, no shit, I was playing a champ I barely touched and Darius won lane by the 10 minute mark because of it, also Lee Sin ganks). I pled my case for my choice of build, but they weren’t having it. Just mocked me, tossing “l2 Yas” and shit right back at me.

YES, I know he’s good with damage and crits, but with how behind I was and who was dominating me, building Glass Cannon was not going to improve my chances with him having item and level advantage on me. I was unable to last hit turrets, but I helped in sieges and partook in every team fight, and just because I couldn’t rack up a serious amount of kills, I get belittled, nevermind I was trying to help in other matters, knowing I wasn’t too good in a fight.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me blow up on people and worst of all, I’ll more than likely get punished for talking back to this jackass than he’ll get punished (and even if he DOES receive punishment, I’ll never have catharsis from learning if this person got punished).

It wasn’t even a RANKED GAME, it was NORMALS in TEAM BUILDER, and we WON, but nope, this shit. Community needs a serious culling. Stuff like this breeds [Complacent Gaming Syndrome](http://Complacent Gaming Syndrome) and makes me not want to try new champions for fear of what's going to happen if I fail hard and at least one member of my team has the same sympathy for my that he/she has for an insect they stepped on.

Either way, thought this might be a good thread to have around, collect all the frustration of dealing with our own teammates.

Discuss.

Lolking called, he said he knows the names even if you don't say them. Lolking needs to keep his trap shut.

Also, just mute them and tell them to use pings. The game will become instantly bearable even if they feed or harass your lane (stealing CS, baiting you into a deathtrap)

The primary reason I don't enjoy ranked and usually play very little (less than 300 games in two seasons) is because I get frustrated when people:

  • don't know how to build a balanced team comp
  • spend more time typing/arguing in game than playing
  • refuse to work together or prioritize objectives
  • don't know basics of gameplay (split push, waveclear)

I also hate that we match based on MMR but there is no way of actually balancing teams because it doesn't take into account skill per role. Oh, and that tier/division isn't based on MMR, points aren't based on win rate and everything with Riot is needlessly convoluted.

I find team builder more tolerable than ranked. Ranked is a complete waste of time, like 50% of the games I believe are wrecked from toxic players on one side or the other.

I keep getting lured into trying ranked from time to time, and always end up giving it up after you get 2-3 games in a row with the toxics.

It's kind of a death spiral for the game itself, friendly players stop playing because of ruined games, leaving more toxics to ruin a higher percentage of games, pushing out more friendly players.

I think the game thrives on new people being added, the people on my friends list from like a year ago are never on.
