It's always that we're trash, bad players, should commit suicide, or have some type of disorder. Are we not allowed to make bad plays, or mistakes in a video game? Professionals in all avenues have bad games or days.
Some people are just jerks, some are just having a really bad time themselves, and some have little self-control; regardless of the reasons behind their negativity, try to ignore it (muting really helps) and keep playing as best you can. If they act like this frequently your reports will help put an end to it, so do that and make sure you aren't doing anything yourself to contribute to that negative environment.
If you know you are having a bad game, mute the first player who starts railing into you.
There is a difference between a bad game and feeding. If you know you're not in shape you will play accordingly by letting others carry you. They can't carry you when you feed and blame it on a "bad game". It's better to stand AFK in base than feed.
It all depends. For instance, i lost a very bad game recently. I was camped top, but still went even while all my lanes fed and jungle was unable to pull off successful ganks -- he tried camping top too late to make our 2v2 win matter. When enemy mid and bot had 2v2 or 1v1 except maybe 1 gank apiece in first 20 min by enemy jungler they should not each have 5+ kills from laning phase. About 10 min too late to matter, my team started listening to me about not playing so far away from towers, getting vision in our jungle, not chasing kills even if you are 3v1 because you are probably getting baited into a trap, etc. And you know what? We nearly came back because they listened, started playing smarter, warded properly, didn't chase stupidly, started noticing when we could 5v3 because 2 enemies were far away and IN VISION on map. Did they repeat the SAME mistakes a few times too many early? Yes. Am I mad? Yes and no... they finally listened, adjusted, and made a decent showing of themselves. They stayed POSITIVE and I stayed positive of them BECAUSE they STOPPED making the SAME mistakes they had made before. Do you see why I didn't report them for being bad/trash? Because they LISTENED and LEARNED to make smarter decisions instead of REPEATING the SAME "MISTAKES" all game. If you learn, adapt, play smart, ward up properly (not blindly solo invade enemy jungle or river to ward when behind), and do not make the same "mistakes" all game (the 3rd time you make the same bad decision, it isn't a mistake anymore) then you simply had a bad game and people should forgive you. If you... play kat mid and feed claiming you didn't realize she had a rework (how do you not know this and play her ranked?), repeat same "mistake" 10 times, don't ward or go to solo ward drag when there isn't even vision in your jungle (secure vision in jungle first since they are invading all the time), don't listen to teammates who clearly had a much harder laning phase and yet fed less than you, then you had more than just a "bad game". You intentionally repeatedly made bad decisions, probably ignored your teammate(s), and threw the game hard for your team. This deserves a report. Maybe your teammate(s) was a "donkey" with the way they shared their advice with you, maybe they were nice about it the first 3 times and then became toxic about it because you refused to listen and stop throwing. How someone talks to you (nicely or rudely) does not excuse you from listening to them. Their kda doesn't excuse you from listening to them. If I'm 5/1/0 jungler and my team is all losing, I can't be solo chasing an enemy blindly into their jungle because I will die to a 3 man bushwhack. My 0/10/3 support pinged me to stop chasing multiple times and I ignored because of their kda vs mine? No, that would be stupid and MY fault. Similarly, if a 1/3/0 toplaner who the enemy jungler camped for about 20 min straight who tells bot to stop picking fights 2v2 because they are 2/5/1 apiece and getting wrecked every time is someone you should listen to; don't ignore the toplaner as the adc or support just because "they're bad/feeding too". If the advice is logical/common sense, listen to it even if it is said by a teammate with bad kda or was said rudely.
Look, there is a bad day where you miss skill shots or make an odd mistake (like leaving an exposed inihibitor to do baron 30 sec before enemy team is about to respawn) but there are mistakes that are not just having a bad day , they are just sheer stupidity and I think your team is entitled to tell you off for playing that way, politely.
For example when someone waits until the end of late game to put some Lethality or Magic penetration item when the enemy team have 1-2 tanky champions you should take out quickly, that is not having a bad day, that is simply not knowing the game and letting your team down because you are too stubborn to listen to their advice about build.
Those who rage and flame to players who have bad game surely never lose, they always win their lane and carry.
I just wonder why such masterminds aren't making millions in the gaming world instead of flaming their teammates :) Poor souls, let them flame it's only food for their poor existence, harsh, maybe but true.
Let's be real, if I see someone having a bad game in my promos (like I had today), I would get pretty mad. Now, I didn't flame the poor dude that was doing bad in my game (also because I was playing horribly as well), but still.
You're allowed to have a bad game. Just not in my game.
I'm just kidding. It's because it's the only interaction people in lol really have with each other and we tend to assume the player is bad. Not that he's having an off game. I've caught myself thinking exactly this and it annoys me almost as much as when I'm having a bad game myself
I usually only get mad if you make mistakes that seem a bit like inexperience. Such as an anivia that can't figure out her q range ALL game. Or a 0/10 top laner at 15 minutes that dove 4 times and died early. I get mad at careless behavior and attitude. I don't get mad at a 7/7 score or even 5/7 or 0/10 if you're split pushing towers. Most of the time I just get mad at 0/12 players telling me it's my fault they're doing poorly. Like a few games ago I was 0/3/0 as vlad top and I had a 0/10 new warwick (careless pick considering he was just released that day) saying he couldn't jungle because all lanes were losing, when their Vi was 12/0 or something like that. I even told him to focus on a winning lane but he insisted there was no winning lane even though bot lane was breaking even. Also, if I'm your jungler and you are constantly turret diving and then rage pinging me when A) you get ganked with no wards or B) you die under the tower to a Nasus that ults and withers you, expect me to be a bit tipsy.
on OCE, these are the most common comments i have seen from extreme feeders :
-dude i'm drunk/high. -I don't care because it's not my account. -f*** up c**t. -go kys -stay bronze
Hell I've killed top lane 20 cs to my 90+ and I still get bitched at in that very game because I'm "ulting at the wrong times" with urgot. Like ya okay, maybe I am, but why you gonna bitch about it and act like it's my fault we lost?
You're allowed all the bad games in the world. Doesn't mean people aren't gonna be assholes. You can play well and still get blamed and flamed. It's just a matter of, if your team is winning, everyone is nice. If you're losing, you will get bitched at. Just don't take it personal.
Do you keep making the same mistake over and over leading to your deaths? Hard to call that a bad game. It may not be intentional but from an outside perspective it is hard to understand why you keep doing the same thing getting you killed. To others the solution may be simple and they are frustrated that you refuse to learn and adapt.
half the time people are not being as rude as you feel they are being. They are trying to give short and quick assessments, that in their mind makes prefect sense. I personally think that people need to chill on both sides of this issue; those that whine and those that think they are helping.
Though some people are just being jerks and letting out their frustration. Again this happens on both sides. Those that int feed cause they died 2x and those that make a comment every 30 sec or tell people to KYS ect.
It is not a problem that is just on one side and until the player base gets over 25 on average, I have little hope in seeing a solution to this .
Lol? It's the opposite . "Bad game " is the excuse for EVERYONE now. Meteos inting? "Bad game"
Someone leaving the game? "Bad game"
0-15 adc claims "bad game"
How about no? Every game someone is having a bad game.
cuz apparently, in order to be ranked high, no one can ever have a bad game. I don't get it either..
I think the recent changes definitely hurt a lot of people with the 5 man bot lane ganks, Ziggs being a top tier pick, and Yasuo getting nerfed (though I like to call it tweaked with how slight of a change it was). There is no more late game and everything is decided by the 10 minute mark in a lot of cases since that's usually how long it takes to get first turret in almost 80% of my games.
Just try to stay positive, you never know how even a tiny thing can make a person go from steaming to smiling. Case in point, I was in a match and we were fighting at dragon (3v4 or something like that). They're low, I see our Yasuo mid farming. We die, I yell at him and he's like "well you shouldn't have fought that." Needless to say I was mad but then he goes and gets 5-manned. We just barely reach him, he outplays them like you wouldn't believe, we get an Ace for his death. After he says "BAITS! we good now Lux?"
Here I am being pissed he almost stupidly died and after he says that I burst out laughing. That really put me in a good mood because it was a pretty amazing play and he did care enough to try make amends to me for the stupid at dragon which I was somewhat over.
You are allowed, that's why you can't be reported for being "unskilled" anymore, but you can report those people who are bullying you. If you feel like you're having a bad game and people are going to talk shit, just mute them. Don't worry about what other people think of you just play normally, but play safe if you are behind.
completely agree with this
There's a difference between "having a bad game" and all ining the enemy when you're 0-3. If you're all ining when you're 0-3, then yes, you are trash and should not be playing ranked. And I think this whole "kys" thing is so damn overexaggerated. I've maybe seen it like 2 times since I've been playing this game.
