"I warned you"

Lost R··2 votes·323 views

I say these words too often. I barely go one game without saying "I warned you" after spending the past ten minutes doing nothing but warning people against stupid ideas or that we need to claim one objective or another before the enemy does.

I don't know what it is. People like to ignore the most obvious problems/issues that I shouldn't need to point out, but I have to anyways. Then they like to scream at me for ignoring the exact thing I warned them about. I'm tired of it. I'm far beyond being tired of it. I'd LIKE to be tired of it again. Worse yet, after people ignore me and I told them how many times I warned them after the incident occurs, they continue to scream at me for "pointing out the obvious". The obvious that they chose to ignore ten times over. The only thing they ever choose to consistently do is scream at me. And I'm tired of it. I'm tired of being everyone's eyes and ears that they'll just ignore, get bitten in the ass for it, and then scream at me for their own elective ignorance. And guess what? Most of the people that post in this thread will also scream at me. People love to scream at me.

I understand your frustration when people make stupid mistakes. We all make mistakes though, it's part of the game. Heck, I missed my ult with Malph in a recent game. The person who is making said mistakes will take your comment as condescending and passive aggressive. A lot of the players don't want advice even if it is in the form of constructive criticism. The best thing to do is keep quiet unless you have something nice to say. If people are continually making stupid mistakes you could do the following: Whenever you play with a person that did well (on your team or the opposing team), send them a friend request afterwards and say something like, "Hey great job, we should play again sometime". Then make a note on your friend list as to what lane this person was playing. After a while you should have a decent arsenal of friends that you know play well with proper mechanics.

so that's like your version of "I told you so"

but .. if you've got real good map awareness / macro decision making, you should ping a tonne, or get a blue ward and reveal the enemy (or even use spooky ghosts).

find some way to show that map awareness to others. you can also choose to cover them as well or get a cross map objective while they are busy.

there are ways to still climb while your team mates are oblivious.

I do. All the time. I will sometimes ping for ten minutes or more and nobody will notice. I've warned the team endless times that the enemy is taking dragon or some other objective, which they promptly ignore. I've warded places and people have ignored my wards, even as the enemy jungler is literally right there on top of it, get killed by them, and then complain that we have no vision and that the support is not warding, even if I am the only one actually doing so and am in fact overwarded (I keep throwing down new wards in new locations, destroying old ones in the process long before they would naturally expire). And as always, people ignore them, only to scream at me afterwards for the exact same thing I just warned them about for the past ten, twenty, thirty, even forty minutes.

I am never quiet about it, and people seem to think that just because it came from the "useless feeder support" that it's something they could just ignore and later bitch about.

oh you are a support main ?

welcome to the world of support where everything is our fault (and the junglers as well).

Can't help you with anything then. All supports have to go through it. If you haven't, then you aren't playing league !

I've been a support main for three years now, ever since I saw people who were more than willing to permaban themselves than play support for even a microsecond. IN RANKED. Being a support main exposed me to the ugly and fetid underbelly of the League community, and one that I utterly despise. The game may have changed considerably since I started, but people are just as blind and defeatist as ever. I'm doing my part to unfuck the collective subconscious of the community, but it seems like every year it gets progressively worse.

One of the most annoying things ever is that guy who always points out others mistakes... My rule is: people will usually know when they made a mistake (At least if they died for it or something went really poorly they will) and if they don't realize it, then it's usually hopeless to point out to them anyway. It's always extremely painful to make a dumb play, but the worst part is when your teammates add salt to that fresh wound and tell you the mistake you are already beating yourself up over.

Please... don't be that guy...

I point out mistakes that are made BEFORE people make those mistakes. I know when things are about to happen, and I warn people WELL ahead of time that x idea is stupid or they're only going to get themselves killed. And yet people fall into these traps all the time like clockwork. The most damndable part of it is that no one really comprehends what I'm saying, and I know; I've made endless threads about this for the past several years, and no one has caught on to it. No one has caught on to ANYTHING I have said for the past three years.

ye well that's the thing. It's cool to warn people about mistakes they are probably going to make... but don't say anything along the lines of "I told you so" afterwards...

I was in a game that we were winning.. we just got baron and all went to siege their botlane. Our jungler went back randomly however. So even ahead and with baron we were setting ourselves up to throw because our team was still being aggressive in a 4v5. I ping careful on udyr and then on us to show us that we didn't have him. Despite this they didn't seem to realize just how far was too close and our corki got thresh hooked and died(I pinged well in advance). He probably felt pretty stupid, it was a throw, I warned him WAY in advance. And yet still didn't say anything because AGAIN it's only adding insult to injury. Situations happen like that all the time and sometimes you can't stop them from making those throws, doesn't mean you have to make it worse. SO again... please don't be that guy
