You know what pisses me off. A lot.

#Incoming rant, but it's broken up a bit so hear me out

Not people who feed. Not people who call others racial slurs. Not even when people play a really easy champ and spam things like ez or flash mastery.

It's the people who are blind to the game. Not map awareness blind, but fail to see how people are ACTUALLY doing.

The people who call you a noob and tell you that you will never get better, but neglect the fact that you went even in cs when they fed your lane two kills and had ALL of your teams towers (solo, not last hit tower).

The people who will yell at your support for feeding, but gloss over the 20 assists and amazing team fights. Who yell at them for not placing wards but never place a single damn 75g pink all game.

The people who brag that they won lane because they are 3/0/0, but have lost tower and are 50 cs down because they've been walking around trying to get kills. They yell at you for having one more death than kill, but you've taken your tower and two drags.

These are the people I hate. They are glued to what they can see and never deviate from what they understand. They never try to look at the bigger picture, they never are the people who look at the after game damage to champs or damage taken, they never try for objectives (just that one more tower dive).

What pisses me off above all of this is they will never learn or get better or change. They won't rank up. They will be stuck in their own puddle of what they think is best, and refuse anyone trying to pull them out. And I'm not saying this because I go out of my way to tell them what to do, I'm mostly silent in game. But they never listen to anyone's honest advice.

#It's ignorance, and it hurts everyone.

######Edit, if you see me commenting a ton, I'm not trying to get attention to the post. I'm happy people are having a convo and its making me less vent-y and bent out of shape.

I hate after a team fight ends and nobody thinks to push towers and they all back...

How about after Mordekaiser slays the dragon then everyone goes back to their lane after...

Though it doesn't happen often, sometimes ppl do it on purpose because they want to enjoy the game longer instead of pushing to win, like say u have a Nasus top stacking Q, Veigar mid stacking Q, Sion jungle stacking W, Thresh support stacking passive, and Kindred adc stacking passive. The longer the game is the more fun it gets ,_,

I hate when people are playing poorly or get out matched or just happen to be disadvantaged because of a bad play(or good play by the enemy) and continue to play ignorant of that fact. It's okay if you're behind, but adapt. If you had a close fight with the enemy top laner and he barely walked out with 10 hp, okay, try again. But if he kills you then too, then stop. Play safe. Farm up. Wait until he makes a mistake and punish him. Don't continue to play like you're even or ahead when you aren't. And the people who dive turrets to get a kill and die. Just let them recall. You will still get an advantage and even better one if you stay in lane and farm on minions and get ahead in levels. You don't need a kill. Forcing them back will still net you an advantage.

Spacesuit Spiff7 votes

Jungler ganks, blows enemy summoners and 90% of their hp. Laner tries to dive, blows both summoners and 90% of hp to fail to get the kill. Ya had a huge advantage, and then ya threw it away.

A Liberal21 votes

I hate how everyone in this game assumes that if you're losing, its because you suck. Nobody seems to realize that the other person can just be really good. There are four other real people on your team, yes, but at the same time there are five other real people on the enemy team.

Idk this community is really focused on bad plays and refuses to acknowledge good plays.

the Anarchit3cht3 votes

Exactly! I don't blame them for losing or getting behind, it happens. Even to players on a pro level, you can see in these LCS matches(it rarely happens, but it does) where even a small misplay sets them behind. That doesn't mean their bad. The difference is once that happens, they are ever vigilant not to make any more mistakes. And that is why annoys me, is when they refuse to acknowledge that the game is static, it's dynamic and requires adaption. Often times, I'm the person that falls behind or loses the advantage, but if that happens, I adapt. I start to play safer. I farm closer to my turret, I try to freeze the wave before the river or even at my turret if I'm that afraid. I wait until they are out of position or miss a skill shot and I know I can out trade them.

TroyTheUnconquer10 votes

My biggest pet Peeve is when, say for example i'm fiora, and i messed up fighting a jax because i missed a riposte or got ganked a ton.

I'm only 2 kills behind, im hugging my tower and only csing when the minion wave is at my tower. When suddenly out of no where i start getting towerdived by 2-3 people and dieing without being able to do anything. so now the enemy laner has 4 kills, i can't step into lane at all without being jumped on and killed, even if i land my riposte when he jumps on me i still die.

Then some idiot mid lane thats 1-2-0 with 60 cs at 15 minutes says "stop feeding please"

Like you don't think im trying? what the hell am i suppose to do when our junglers jerking off every single raptor and jungle camp individually and i can't even step into lane?

The worst for me is the hate for off-meta picks. If I don't play the meta, which I normally don't and my team does well no one says a thing about my pick but as soon as I have a bad game or I lose it is the blame train rolling on top of me. The moment I don't have an above average game it becomes my champion choice that lost us the game.

Here's my thing......I completely agree with ALMOST everything you said. Especially being a support main I experience what you described a lot.

but seriously?......you put these things over racial slurs?

Yeah you could say well you dont know the people and they dont know you so it shouldnt bother you. But i look at it as the racial slur, though while over the internet, is still a real life thing. Someone getting mad about others plays or mistakes in a video game is still just a video game.

I really wouldnt say it pisses me off to see it in game when i do......its more like i feel bad for that person. Because even if the comment is made in a video game....... odds are its a reflection of how they are in real life and its just really ignorant.

Don't get me wrong, I report racial slurs afterwards. This specific type of person just is my personal tick off.

I was 11/2/6 as Rengar jungle and my bot lane was calling me a noob jungler because I never ganked bot lane when they were pushed to the enemy tower all game and mid and top were easier to gank and snowball those lanes.

Maggot 03 votes

Very well written. As someone who only plays occasionally I am prone to making some positioning errors (hence the Janna one trick history, as her kit lends well to getting myself out of those positions), but when teamfight time comes, I use the kit for peels and heals, only to see the team constantly flaming me over kda. Never mind the fact that I saved 2 or 3 of them, providing the extra sustain to finish a fight, or the peel to make sure that their trip back to base was their own doing and not via a respawn timer. Players need to focus on "what can I do for US" instead of "OMG MY KDA IS 10X YOURS GIT GUD SKRUB" and wins will generally start to flow in.

Supports aren't immune to blame. A lot of times they are doing something wrong.

But whenever you point it out, they get hyperdefensive, play the victim, antagonize the whole team, and do whatever they want.

"Support is never to be blamed, they MUST be the ones in the right"

Please avoid being biased.

doiminat0r36003 votes

It's not a 'never being blamed' situation. It's more of the team raging at the support for doing something wrong but they forget the amounts of peeling they might have done for the ADC and dragon helping for the jungler.

Troll for Trump1 votes

It doesn't matter what you do "right".

If you mess up and you get criticized, NOT being raged at, you should take the criticization instead of just walking out in a huff and pouting about it for the rest of the game.

Peeling? Tank does that. Jgler can do that. Mage can do that. Support can do that.

Dragon helping? Jgler calls it, bot lane wards it, Top tps to help it, mid just walks there.

Just because you do good things doesn't mean you should be immune from critizing, no matter what.

You can be 15/2 (Yi for example), charge in 1v5, and you will be called out for it.

Doesn't mean you can go "I don't want to deal with this, I'll just AFK farm the whole game. Everyone muted"

Nautoday2 votes

I think the real problem is is that there are too many people who solely believe that supports are to do all the warding. I've been criticized many times for "not having wards out" when the person who said it still had 2 yellows on him -- I didn't have wards out because no one has let me backed to reset my wards in the longest time.

The other times they are begging you to ward, but you know the second you go into the jungle you're going to get jumped. So then you might end up dying just to place one ward that might not even truly help. Then you get yelled at for having no wards out and for dying.

Troll for Trump1 votes

With the wards being much more limited on each person, EVERYONE needs to ward.

Everyone should ward, not only the support. If you are being told to ward, it's not just to "do all the warding".

The support is the best character to build a sightstone, the most efficient way to ward. Carries are meant to carry, and buying a sightstone will put them back significantly. This applies to almost all other lanes as well. A Darius with a Sightstone won't be a Darius with a Phage and hp pots. It also puts the support back, but, as they aren't a carry, or in a solo, 1v1, lane, it's less detrimental for the team.

If you pick a support, SUPPORT. I've been criticized many times for "just blaming the support" when the supp buys sightstone at 20min approx. and doesn't buy a single pink ward, when I've bought 4 at the point, and have to stick with yellow to get as much vision out as possible.

Nautoday1 votes

Oh, when I support, I support. I always rush a sightstone, even if at the moment I don't feel we need vision because we're stomping the other team, mostly because I know if I don't get it on the first back I might just accidentally skip it on the second back and then we'll be screwed later in the game. My 3 wards are always out and I try to always carry a pink with me when I have space. The problem is is that I am unable to back every 3 minutes to refresh my wards, and so during that time I have teammates who give me crap.

All that sum into one word, toxicity.

Toxicity = Ignorant, stubborn, and negative.

Solution, mute.

Weathered15 votes

Toxicity is a buzzword in this game. You might be right, but its better not to generalize or summarize a specific thing.

newbin2 votes

Before Toxicity became a buzz word it was called Douchebagery and when you got banned for it that is the reason listed in caps on your screen CounterStrike private servers) . Not really PC but it was accurate and funny as hell.
