Will people ever stop blaming a bad game on champion choice?

I yearn for a day when people realize that a choice in champion doesn't cause someone to have a bad game. 6/6.2/11 is my average on 20 games with a record of 13/7 with Taric in something other than support. On nearly every single loss, someone blamed my champion choice for our loss. Meanwhile, likely the same type of person who blames an odd champion for the loss was saying "that's so op" and "that damage" when I did well and was able to kill them in 4 hits with only a single item. Sure, I may have had a game with a score of 2/8/0 and 7/9/4 and very well may have been the reason we lost those games, but it wasn't my champion choice that caused me to lose and I wasn't trolling. The enemy was better than me and/or had a champion that countered me so naturally, I lost. If I troll by picking Taric top and going 2/8/0, you could at least stay consistent and call me a troll when I take Taric mid, forget to buy an item to start because I was requesting a lane swap, and then go 17/8/20.

Holy shit another fellow taric player! Nice to meet you (unfortunately I don't play Taric top or mid)! I had a similar situation in a ranked game recently, we were starting to lose our lead a bit and my adc (kind of) blamed me for picking taric instead of something like lulu. Still managed to win at the end but I think some people need someone to blame when they start losing. Taric

You should try him in top some time. Just click on the games I linked and see how I build him.

Nvm, I looked at your match history and see you already tried it and destroyed with it. You used different runes and masteries, but it seems like it worked. Out of curiosity, did you look at what I build or just happen to use the same items?

:P I saw a post on reddit that used that build so I decided to try it out, also those were my support runes cuz I was too lazy to change them lol

Meh. This is an easy video game which takes no skill at all. Just pick a better champion and you will win. And no, im not sarcastic. You had to have skill in seasons 1-4 maybe 5. Sinc then everything went downhill.
