This guy (or gal) made my day

I fed. Everyone has off games. This is my story from earlier today:

  1. I lock in Veigar support and my team already groans. Except for my ADC.
  2. We get into the game and I walk to lane.
  3. My computer goes into kernel panic & freezes (even though I have 32GB of RAM, like wtf)
  4. I die almost immediately.
  5. Caitlyn tells me "It's alright man, I know how that feels. We can still do this!"
  6. Now that I'm trying to compensate, I give up a few more kills botlane. I'm 0-4-1. (Did I mention support isn't my strongest role)
  7. Caitlyn expresses her disappointment but keeps a positive attitude. She gives constructive criticism.
  8. Our top and mid lanes are flaming and asking the enemy team to report me.
  9. Caitlyn defends ME, the 0-5-4 Veigar support. "Everyone has off matches. Please stop being so toxic" And redirects the conversation to securing dragon.
  10. I openly point out where I messed up and flat out say "I get that you're frustrated with me and you have every right to be, but telling me I'm trash doesn't make me play any better."
  11. Our entire team morale shifts.

Fast Forward 35 minutes We win the game and I finish 4/15/16

Yeah, I kept unintentionally dying. I was making really amateur mistakes. I was mostly playing League to escape the reality that my best friend of 11 years had moved to the other side of the world. I was distracted as heck and felt bad for dying so much. I really shouldn't have been playing at all. I apologized to my team, asked what they'd like me to do, and did it. By the end of the game I was landing every stun, kiting an ulting Olaf, and securing objectives left and right. We won because of Caitlyn.

I'll admit I'm not the best about staying positive in games, but this has been a wake up call for me. Next time you have a feeding teammate, don't insult them. Stand up for them, encourage them, and stay positive. Being mean doesn't change the way someone plays. Sure, you might still lose, but at least you took the high road. You should still be proud of yourself.

Thank you for reading, and thank you @wunderwulf. You made my day.

Well, I mean...yeah, I'd groan, too. Veigar is supposed to CS to stack AP. He's not a support. Right away, people would expect you to end up starving the ADC, or end up starved and underperforming, yourself. But it doesn't have to be that way. The stun is great for teamfights and zoning.

Anyway, hey, that was your pick, and you tried. There's no excuse for anyone to be toxic, and I'm glad your ADC was friendly and tried to work with you. That's how it should be. Anyone who does anything else has immediately resigned to having a bad experience, no matter how the game turns out. It's always better to try to cooperate.

I always try to act like that Caitlyn, but it depends- if the person who's doing that is also cussing out the entire team and blaming us for it, I don't think he's just having a bad game, I think he's bad. I mute and move on.

It's too bad that for every 1 of these kinds of games, you get 10 other games where nobody defends you (not just being veigar supp, but supp in general), and stays toxic at you for missing one hook/bind as blitz/morg. "Omg you can't land a single one you're trash uninstall." Then later when you carry that toxic vayne/kalista to a win, there's no thank you, they just trash talk the enemy and leave the lobby.

It really helps when someone on your team acts like that, you get your confidence back, stops making bad decision influenced by negatives feelings and it can help turn the game around

When my team starts with the blame i just mute them, i'm with you we all have bad games, you dont need to be a jerk if someone on your team is having a bad game... but i cant stand intentional feeding or they party ones (let's dance at baron/dragon) , there are games that we can turn around, i just tell them "if you're not going to help them just go afk,plz"

Okay, this is a good story and stuff, but how well does Veigar support work? Is it for more of a kill lane or whatever? Cause like, despite what some think, the adc kinda does need farm and I don't think Veigar scales too well if he can't farm with his q for those stacks.

I'm not saying it's a terrible idea, I'd just like some more context on how this works cause I'm allergic to bot lane.
