PSA: If you're feeding, don't build straight damage

And feed more. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that angers me more than someone giving up a couple early kills to someone, then not modifying their game plan one bit. They continue pushing (without wards), fighting their fed and ahead lane opponent, and building straight damage. Then, when they continue to get kills, you hear cries of "OP" or "broken."

Like last match. Our Darius fed Illaoi to the point that he was a lost cause very early on. Then our Rengar kept ganking her, rather than helping our bot lane, or me mid, when we had an ADC with connection issues. At one point, our Brand support went up with him when I was trying to defend a turret by myself versus Swain and Lux. They all ended up dying, which is no surprise considering Illaoi's damage only goes up when there are more people around.

But all I heard was how broken and OP she is. When I pointed out her awful win rate (43.7% ATM), one of my teammates said people that have played her 15-50 times have an 80% win rate with them. I just looked it up, and it's 76.44%... and that's 0.44% of her playerbase. AKA, it doesn't mean a damned thing because the sample size is way too small.

She's too new to really make any value judgments yet. I'll admit her E is a bit too powerful, and that I'm not a fan of her tentacles spawning at your turret (and not being targeted by said turret) if she's bullied you up to it... but overall, she's by no means "broken," at least not in my opinion. People don't know how to play against or as her yet, so all her stats are a bit of a crapshoot right now. And neither the stats for 0.44% of her playerbase, nor a match where you played right into her hand the entire time, is proof of anything.

Except I see this all the time, where people are incapable of adjusting in-match, or of viewing what happens in that match in context. I've had numerous matches where I couldn't even be in sight of my lane opponent without getting killed in seconds because they'd gotten that far ahead, but I managed to find ways to not just let them pile up kills and to at least slow the bleeding. Very few people in this game seem to know how to do that, however, and it drives me mad.
