League's Preschool Community and the "Solo Carry" mentality

Damagefox·1/30/2017, 11:07:02 AM·69 votes·4,443 views

As a whole, I am getting more and more irritated by the league community of PRESCHOOLERS. People more Quick to throw a fit and throw a tantrum if the game doesnt go exactly how THEY want. More and more people are dodging if things dont go entirely how they want. They will flip out and dodge if:

  • Player doesnt get the Role they want
  • Player doesnt get the Champ they want
  • Player's teammates wont switch them for the role they want
  • Players teammates wont play the champ they want.
  • Players team wont play the Meta that is dictated to them.
  • Enemy champ composition isnt a "GG EZ" for them.
  • Enemy team bans the champ they want
  • Enemy team TAKES the champ they want

These preschoolers dont want ANY challenge. They dont want ANYTHING that makes them think. They dont want to work With thier team, they just want everything set up to make THEMSELVES look good. League is a Game of Strategy and Teamwork. Like chess it relies on the pieces to work together. As I said before: League is Like chess, you cant see the CHECKMATE (Nexus destruction) if all you care about is how many enemy pawns you capture (Most Kills NA)

It falls into this idea of the "Solo carry". No one wants to work with thier team. They want to be the one to CARRY thier team. They want nothing more than to have ALL the bragging rights to themselves. They dont want to share kills with thier team, and quite often will call "KS" on everything. Thats why players hang thier teams out for the enemy. They could be close enough to help but will often just sit nearby and watch as the team dies, then come in and try and claim as many kills as they can. They expect the whole match to revolve around them and thier own ego. THEY want the most kills, They DONT want to share kills with thier team. They want to be the SOLO CARRY so they can rub it in thier teams face and brag and gloat. I actually just got out of a match where Ziggs (Adc) Threw a fit and abandoned lane, claiming I was stealing his minion waves when I was using item 3302 to try and heal him. So he throws a fit, abandons lane, and leaves me to try and 2v1 bot lane. Spoiler alert, we lost the match. I am getting sick and tired of being paired with entitled toddlers with over-inflated egos who lose thier minds and start throwing thier toys around when things they cant control happen. More and More players cant even tell the difference (as in they REFUSE to distinguish between someone who is A) INTENTIONALLY FEEDING: An act where someone INTENTIONALLY gives kills to the enemy team in order to shift the advantage to the enemy team. and B) Being outplayed: When someone uses all thier abilities and movement options to try and NOT die, But is often countered at every step by the enemy team. Aka "you Played your best....they just played BETTER"

People are being reported because these Toddlers want to punish thier team and make themselves feel good by telling themselves "It wasnt me, it wasnt me, I played perfect. -I- Didnt lose, its all that intentional feeders fault" and so they need someone to dump the blame on. So will take any mistake and turn it into "Intentional feeding" These toddlers are so Fragile that they lose thier minds and afk after 1 death. I had a match where my ADC, ezreal, DID just that. He died once (0/1). Threw a fit, and pulled an "I'm Done", Afking and Disconnecting from the match entirely. All because he died ONCE.

More and More This community amazes me at how self-centered, narcissistic, and completely full of itself it has become. This community doesnt care AT ALL about a strategy game that requires teamwork, requires quick thinking, and yes sometimes players need to ADAPT WITH THE GAME. The community is still playing like its season 2, Where supports arent allowed kills, arent supposed to take ANY CS, and if the match is lost, its automatically the supports fault for not keeping the adc alive (...again...expect support to keep you alive at 0 kills, 0 CS, and you will still tell support to "Stfu ur 0/X...Cuz assists dont matter after all)

Each an every day, This community defends its crown for the Worst, The ABSOLUTE WORST Community online. Now I should go print out a copy of the summoners code....so I can burn it in protest!

I want my strategy game back, Not this online Toddler babysitting service.

Jesus man, your match history made me so sad. What are these builds.

Also the only ziggs adc game I saw, you were playing jhin supp with item 3301

You're a career bronze with a sub50 winrate.. I don't know how to say this nicely, so I won't try. YOU ARE LIKELY THE PROBLEM. Even if there was ever a time where this game was the "Strategy game" you want, you probably weren't very good at it.

In bronze people literally HAVE to solo carry if they want to win because they have dumb stuff on their team (like AD Soraka or Jhin support...).

Change up your picks, stop building dumb shit every game, play to win, and I guarantee you'll see results almost immediately. Oh and stop blaming literally everyone else. You know we can see your games right?

It's very rough in Bronze 5 0 LP to try to support your team. I have seen it be attempted. If you really think you are better than your team, but still want to play support, I highly recommend damage oriented supports that can solo carry, such as zyra, brand, malz, etc.

Hey so can we ban this guy cause he's clearly one of the int feeders he's complaining about. Like really support jhin with a frozen heart?

When a teammate gets like that I just want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?

As someone who plays Support i cannot stand that TO THIS DAY people still dont know how items works. In this case Relic Shield and its upgrade. it just annoys me that they think we are still CS. They cannot simply look at our items or read what they do and think. But i wouldnt be surprised if more people think like this. We all cannot stand it, but there is little we can do. Like what can we do to make these people learn? We cant force them, or do anything they dont want to do. If they cannot learn then so be it.

too much CoD kids has left CoD infite warfare to come and pollute league with the KDA mentality.

you know theses kids have huge ONLINE EGOS to feed.

peoples who are offended by any of the reasons OP named and are gonna dodge should be banned from ranked games.

Ungrateful Thug1/30/2017, 10:23:22 PM3 votes

Holy fucking moly, what are those builds in your match history?

PayaThePapaya1/30/2017, 5:12:05 PM3 votes

I agree with you on the "everybody wants to solo carry" point but I have to disagree that dodging is some sort of preschool mentality.

I'm a diamond player who frequently smurfs and I will dodge quite often depending on how the matchup is. It's not because I'm not ready for a challenge but, you said it yourself, this is a strategy game. If I'm playing chess, the odds of me winning is much less if I start the game missing half my pieces. Same thing if my entire team picks squishies/assassins and the enemy team is chock full of CC juggernauts with a "protect the mobile but damaging adc" comp.

I'm sorry man, but after looking at your match history im just laughing my ass off...

Like, upon first reading what you said, i felt bad for you. Then i saw the static shiv Soraka and lost my shit.

Honestly, if you want to climb, play more impact-full supports. You literally cant carry a team with soraka if your team doesnt know what they are doing, and when you cconsider you are in b5, you should just know that they dont. Im not dissing you in any way, as we all started from somewhere and im still not the greatest player out there.....

Another thing, i'll be the first one to play a non-meta support, (My favorite is ORI support) but at some point you need to realize that what you build is just as important as who you pick... Like Soraka, great support, but building and item 3031 or a item 3087 is not great. She is a healer when she plays support, build her as such. I could care less if you picked Soraka as ADC then built her as such, but some things are just not good as support.

If you want to do damage, play a different lane, however, if you are hell bent on playing support, play champions that match your playstyle. I feel like just from looking at your match history you like to deal damage. Play a good poke support. Annie Malzahar Sona Zilean ...There are others....

The infestation of CoD kids attracted from Riot's #LC$BIGPLAY$NOSCOPE420BLAZE esports wet dream is to blame for this. The game used to be slower, more tactical, and required a bit of knowledge to succeed. Because reading, waiting, or even thinking for that matter is alien to them, League had a barrier of protection. But not anymore since Riot wants to appeal to people with low attention spans and tiny brains constantly dumbing the game down while making overloaded hypermobile monstrosities so their new playerbase will have explosions and fast-moving objects flying across the screen to enjoy.

This is all part of their delusion of grandeur of having League broadcasted as much as real sports...all while damning the idea of health and balance, and refusing to acknowledge what a god-awful mess they've created. Instead, they double and triple down on horrendous mistakes because apparently their egos are far too fragile to admit they've ruined the game, and think that by going full speed ahead without looking backwards will eventually fix everything.

I've been waiting a long time, and personally, I think they floored it recently, if for any reason, to try and outrun criticism - Riot's kryptonite.

I agree 100% some people go as far as to ban the champ you were going to go on purpose! for no reason!

Faceroll Tactics1/30/2017, 10:50:57 PM2 votes

I think you're acting as an SJW who can't be wrong because "them telling me how to win is harassment"

Your match history is atrocious. It feels like you are trolling every game, although due to the inconsistently i think you might actually be legitimate.

The meta is the meta because it works. Being complained at because you built infinity edge and mortal reminder on nasus is not the community being toddlers.

MonkeyMadness1/31/2017, 8:55:08 PM2 votes

One thing I will say in contradiction: if you are 0/5 in the laning phase due to literally any reason and still continue to die, YOU ARE ACTIVELY RUINING THE GAME FOR YOUR TEAMMATES. There are ways to stop the bleeding if you fall behind. Stop building your damage items and go tank. Sit under your tower and wait for help from the jungler or other laners. If you continue to die while stepping up to farm/harass when you are a full item and multiple levels behind, you are intentionally feeding by virtue of the fact that your INTENTIONAL refusal to alter your playstyle to fit the needs of your team is causing you to FEED.

Damagefox1/31/2017, 8:28:55 AM2 votes

I just got out of a match that summed up exactly what I was talking about. I was duoing with a friend, Got a Jungle that asked "support want to switch?" I said No His response was "Ok I will just lose then" And he proceeded to go "second time camille" and intentionally fed the game, telling people "Go kill yourself F****t" and "I hope you die in a chocolate accident" She spent the entire game flaming, feeding, and using the most offensive/racist language possible....All because SHE DIDNT GET HER WAY. She wanted support, she didnt get it, so camille decided to throw a complete temper tantrum and use the most offensive language because the world wouldnt cave to HER wants. THIS is the level of entitlement and vanity that is becoming more and more common on league. And this was my friends FIRST TIME stepping into Ranked, and thats the FIRST game he played. The First game he played he gets a Racist, homophobic, feeding toddler throwing a temper tantrum because the whole game didnt cave to their own wishes.

I'm sorry OP, the game has a huge playerbase, and is no short of incomprehensive kids, and people who are usually so tilted they get mad and toxic at everything. The ranked ladder is full of them, so stay strong.
