Yeah I just got out of a match where I played annie mid, and did REALLY well (I think). I was destroying ekko in mid lane, and with renekton ended up winning my lane. Thought had the game won, we were pushed up to thier base...and then the team decided they were too good to group. Stopped trying to go for the nexus. I kept trying to push the lane, but the rest of the teem kept branching off in multiple directions because....Showboat kills. they merely wanted Kills, The goal (nexus) left behind and people decided "Screw the team, I am not getting enough kills on MY kda" So they started running solo. They ignored teams, went in one at a time....and fed the enemy darius. A match we had won, we LOST

IF All you care about is "I have to have the most kills, I have to have the most polished kda" so badly that you are willing to screw over your team so you can run solo and chase your own kills (because apparently grouping means "if I help you, thats less kills for me), Then I am sorry but GET OFF LEAGUE. You dont understand the concept of a TEAM game, and you only care about stepping on your teammates in favor of polishing your own kda.

I went from a 10/3 kda, to a 10/12/12 because Kids wanted to run in and solo darius and ended up feeding him, allowing him to snowball. And when the enemy came barrelling down mid, these players STILL tried to go in one at a time. Waiting for the person ahead of them to die so they can jump in and try and claim the kills for themselves. I tried everything I can, But Riot Pushing this god damn "Solo carry" mentality is driving me up the wall. Dont advertize it as a team game, then push the Solo carry mentality. Where only one person can be "the best" even if that means you have to screw over your entire team and cost the whole team the match...But hey, you get that gold star.

If these damn children are too full of themselves that they cant play the actual OBJECTIVE (Y'know the whole....Destroy the enemy nexus...thing) then give them thier own bot mode where they can go in and just watch thier kill counter rise, that should make them feel special. I am sick of losing matches to greedy children with an attitude of "all kills are mine by default" and dont want to win unless -they- are the ones that have the most kills.

You want to play the game like your team doesnt exist, and all that matters is -your- kills. Uninstall and go play Mario brothers, because you dont understand the concept of a TEAM game. Yeah I rant, I am pissed. DEAL WITH IT.

Que the mindless sheep who will make excuses for Adult Preschoolers who will flip the table if they dont get ALL the cookies (Aka "I didnt get the most kills/Red Buff/Dragon/Penta, so I am throwing the match." and then try and validate it with "Its norms/bots/ranked, chill" when people get angry at them in response.

Some people just find it too hard to figure out that in the end the only stat that mattes is win. All other stats are secondary.

i hate when people do that. i play for the team (as a support and no, not as a brain dead champion like Janna Lulu etc.) that's how people usually throw games. it's ESPECIALLY annoying if you die in order to get your teammates some kills and they just take advantage of you. the last thing id like to say is please dont be selfish sincerely, Blitzcrank

I can top yours had a game where we where pushed to the enemy nexus in a game that had gone on near an hour and instead of killing the nexus that 2 of us had just died to get to with 5 seconds before anyone spawned my team decided to do the showboat wait for them to spawn and pick them off thing. So they died and the enemy team all pushed down our nexus and DIDN'T do the showboat thing. We lost a WON game a game that was impossible to lose if you just hit the nexus a few times because of people who showboat. This should be a bannable offense.

Lol I hate that. I've had teams do that and when it happens always say "wow we deserve to lose now" and I obviously keep trying to win but deep down I hope we lose for being jackasses not finishing the game when we could.
