I've seen more Salt in URF than any other game mode.

I queued jungler Hecarim because both teams decided he wasn't ban-worthy (their mistake). My team immediately complained when I picked hecarim jungler because that meant someone had to go solo (not hard to do in urf with insane clear speeds!). They ended up going Two top, zero mid, two bot. Nobody mid to bully me into playing mid. After I secured enemy towers and had the other team running I still haven't said anything in response to complaints. Not a word. I even pushed Mid (because NOBODY came to do mid...) between jungle camps.

Soon our team was winning and I was doing hella good too. I came mid and melted their Ryze. Ryze spoke up in all chat saying "that hec doe" because I just melted him outa nowhere. I said "useless hec jungler". I figured that would make someone on our team say "yeah our bad" or "gj hec" but nope. Because that was the FIRST thing my team heard me say, they jumped on that sarcastic line and started to turn it against me. They said "You are 99% useless." Then not only noct but another teammate who I assumed queued with him complained too. Then Noct started saying "oh he's just KS'ing." Uhhh what? The guy that said I'm KSing (Top lane Nocturnal) had less than half as much damage to champions as me at the end of the game (not to mention not as many assists as I had kills) and I was... Jungling and keeping mid pushed all by myself.

Anywho... lots of salt. Just because I picked jungler. At the end of the game I had 2nd most DDTC below Orianna. I helped my team a ton. But they were just ungrateful because I picked smite, which hurt nobody. In the end I never said anything rude back to them. The other team even offered to report them for me and I said in all chat "Why? They don't want a jungler. That's not reportable." I never did report anyone...

Well, to be honest, I dislike when someone tries to go jungle in URF. I'm yet to win a game with a dedicated jungler.

And similarly, my favorite thing in URF? To go Hecarim mid, with TP + Ignite. And I farm wolves and raptors alternately after each wave (when I'm not farming my lane opponent).

My least favorite thing in URF? Playing a 1v2 lane. It's not about clearing the wave, with how strong everyone is it's insanely easy to tower dive and get kills 2v1. It's pretty much no fun AT ALL to play in a 1v2 lane in URF. I'm queuing to have fun too - you're taking that away by going jungle. If you wanted to farm jungle to 3 then come lane to help out the solo guy then great. If you're sticking jungle though, it just doesn't work. Especially if someone is playing a melee champ, there's shit all they can do. So they want to leave their lane and farm the jungle... that you've completely farmed already.

I'm not saying their words are appropriate (they aren't). Just that people need to understand their actions. Going in a 1v2 lane is not fun, and it's not fair of you to force that on someone else unwillingly. You're actually LUCKY that they opted to go 2 top and 2 bot, as if anyone had dedicated to going mid (which often happens) the guy left in the solo lane gets screwed, often feeds, and the game gets out of control pretty quickly.

I've yet to play URF more than about 6 times, about 3 a day. The environment is just so toxicity giving... Ever gone against a Wukong/Sona lane?

I think I had 10 deaths before they took our tower.

i honestly HATE the word salt in the context of league. its overused. obnoxious. and anytime you dont agree with someone "they're salty" is used as an ad hominem attack
