Today something magical happened.

Today we had a ryze, this man started the game so TERRIBLY during champion select. calling us all silver trash and saying "ima have to carry ugguguguugugugug"

During the game everything was going well, we were ahead by heaps and the enemy had no comeback. until.... our ezreal took blue.

so 6/1/0 Ryze took this to offense and AFK at fountain cursing atthe ezreal and calling us Silver Trash and that he didnt care if we lost he was smurfing.. he just spammed spells andf stacked tear at fountainfor over 6 minutes. our teamwas trying hard to hold them off.

Then i decided to talk to the Ryze, not flame.... but talk. i would sayt things like "Comeon Ryze, weve been trying hard all game and you know this, i even ganked for you as bard", "Ryze, we can win this, you are what will win us this game, we need you," "Ryze not all of us are silver material, you said that bot always feeds and are heavy, but look? ive kept us both standing all game."

Ryze then started tocome out of base, and fight at towers but not leave them. i continued my plea "Ashe and Gragas initiate, me Ezreal and Ryze will follow up accordingly, letsgo"

The Ryze began to start joining teamfights and doing what ryze do. we won our first teamfight but he died in it. "Ryze, thank you, we won that with the Snare you gave katarina, good peel"

nowbefore this point he was still kind of arguing at the team but at this point he was beginning to compliment our moves, i made a 4 man ult with bard to begin an initiate and we won that teamfight hard. he replied with a "Gj bard"

At the end of the game he said "w/e by the end of the game you guys will just say (Report ryze afk %%%)" we all told him we wouldnt. sowith that we won the game and noone flamed him, nor did he flamed anyone. we all just said "Thank you Ryze, for coming back and helping us win".

See people? lots of things to learn here.

1. if you are smurfing, dont afk just because someone did something that didnt please you, just play it out and win the game. its alot faster than allowing the enemy to fight a resistant 4v5.

2. not all High Elo are completely ill hearted.

3. its more rewarding to just do your best because you could make some friends and earn some respect.

4. Thank TurtleFroze , though he was a jerk at the begining, he really pulled through inthe end.
