Almost reached promos, Then dropped down by "God-tier" narcissists

Damagefox··1 votes·637 views

Yeah So I am in ranked. Playing quite effectively as a Rumble support, racking up the wins and getting good scores with open minded players. and Then...Preschool gets out! Suddenly I find myself paired with Adcs who feel they are "God-tier" players. Who feel THEY know how everyone else should play, who everyone else should play, what everyone else should build. The most narcissistic, obnoxious, and entitled players ever. Had a Mid who had a tantrum because I wouldnt switch lanes with him so he fed the enemy till he was 1/13. Had an adc Who would constantly Dive into a 2v1 while I am just getting out of base, and then tell me how its my fault we lost.

I am really growing sick of the level of arrogance and entitled attitudes these players seem to have. They feel they know -everything- about league and so they will ignore any suggestions and then turn around and flame thier team. I am sure there are plenty of horror stories tht coud be told. But people seem to forget that this is a TEAM GAME. and that means ....wait for it.... ...ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU!!! There are 4 other players on the team. and it is these arrogant players who completely discount the rest of thier team. As far as these players are concened, the rest of thier team doesnt exist. The only time they will aknowledge thier team is if they need someone to blame or scapegoat.

STOP TRYING TO TURN LEAGUE INTO Call of Duty FREE FOR ALL! (Getting tired of hearing "1v1 me Bruh" in the middle of a ranked match. Or The "You must really suck, Took 2/3/4 to take me down!") The general attitude that using teamwork and working WITH your team rather than competing against them for "most kills" is seen as something to be frowned upon.

Yeah so because of people only concerned with thier own greed, thier own bravado, and generally acting like a preschooler having a tantrum because they didnt get the most cookies before naptime, I went from 96LP down to 19LP. and at this point, ready to just give up on ranked. I cant make it out of bronze because people think they are "god tier" so they have the privilage of being able to spit on everyone below them.

You played Rumble support.

And I have done quite well with it, I got an ashe adc fed to 11/2 I actually KNOW how to use him as a support. But yeah, keep trying to invalidate me with a strawman :)

It's your own fault for not climbing. If you are good enough you will eventually rank up. I've been in bronze the first step to get out is to stop blaming others.

You've been in Bronze for years dude, of course playing an off meta support is going to tilt everyone. You should only be playing Rumble supp if you know for sure Rumble hard counters your lane, not as a main.

I play Zac supp to hard counter Cait, Jhin and Ashe, and Singed when I wanna roam on non mobile opponents but you need to do this kinda stuff at the right time and the right composition, it takes a lot of experience to pick off meta supports.

Ontop of that Rumble is one of the hardest characters in the game to play period, you shouldn't be playing him at all really.

I know you know what you're doing or whatever... but you're showing a lot of bravado yourself and disregarding suggestions. Sure these "suggestions" aren't worded as suggestions but it should be telling you maybe rumble support isn't that good. Everyone can win games and get an adc fed sometimes. Just because it's happened before, doesn't mean that rumble is always a good pick. Also you know that it pisses people off when you pick rumble (how can he peel pre 6 or ult on cd?), so maybe stop making it all about you, as u accuse them of doing, and just pick a support they might like to have. After all, this is a team game.

Like the other guy said, rumble probably has some good match ups as a support, but they aren't all good. You probably don't know who exactly would counter rumble on bottom or who you would counter, so maybe picking him every game regardless of the matchup isn't a wise choice. I know bronze is frustrating but just try to think about it in an unbiased way... use self awareness and don't treat yourself like you're a special case. People flame you for picking rumble support so hmm what's the fix? Don't pick rumble support.

-Its cold and dark. The rain has become a light drizzle, but in the background you can still hear a low rumble of thunder off into the distance-

-Officer Utility Backline arrives on the scene- Utility Backline: What seems to be the issue? Thread Respondents: We have another mystery in Bronze5, the victim was attacked for marching to the beat of his own drum. UB: Heh. It isn't even parade season yet... When are these kids going to learn... -UB turns the body over Rumble - TR: Oh gawd -One of the Thread Respondents begins to puke- Its Keystone Mastery its -TR stops short of finishing his sentence as more vomit flies out- UB: Warlords... Storm Raiders... Jesus. Ranked did a number on this poor sap. TR: Looks like he was living a normal life running Thunderlords, something must have set him off... UB: And his builds. Never the same build twice. TR: Sir! Where is his item 2049 ? Oh gawd did his killers remove his item 2049 ?! UB: His build just does not add up; in 20 games it has changed 20 times. -A item 3070 rolls down the officers face- This poor bastard never stood a chance in ranked. He was just a misguided kid. TR: You think the inexplicable desire to be known in a unique way did this to him? UB: Unfortunately. History has a strange way of repeating itself... I remember back in Season 1 a young player who used to tell me Kayle was a top tier support. I never saw him leave 900 elo. TR: Sir... UB: Its fine. Its just been a long time since I have seen such anti-meta. I really thought these days would be behind the community now... its been 6 years. TR: What causes this desire to play something with little thought, strategy, or practice prior to entering ranked sir? UB: Its a sick self destructive mechanism that exists in the brain of a Bronze player. They see pros follow the meta and get girlfriends, money, fame, notoriety; these are things the Bronze care little for. They seek pain and suffering. They live for the thrill of almost winning a game averaging 17-30% kill participation to see it all ripped away... as they fall back into obscurity. TR: I have friends and loved ones in Bronze, what can I do to ensure this does not happen to them? UB: Tell them to play Janna . Its a utility backline champion that thrives off correcting the mistakes her adc makes. When they misposition and get jumped on she can save them with her entire kit,and turn the whole fight; also works very well during group phase and decent during lane phase.

The only time ill decline or get a bit salty about taking advice from someone is for a few reasons:

  1. They are feeding and are telling me what to do.

  2. They play substantially worse than I do.

  3. The way they are giving me advice is through yelling.

  4. When they are playing a Champion I main, below average, but are getting kills off kill stealing and adding nothing to a team fight, then acting arrogant.

Now I know when I say main, people look at my match history, see my kda and go ew, this guy is terrible. I just want you people to know that my kda doesn't matter because when I die to save a team mate, it is worth it if we can't get out, but if I die and they can, it was worth it. Better than giving a double. And yes I do buy Sightstone, but only if the game calls for one. If it doesn't I get other items, but if things change I switch immediately to a sightstone.

First response that actually seems decent and not just sarcasm and asshattery.

Yes, the way I play is strategic. Like the way I will keep pushing a tower but make sure to fight it out just enough that EVEN if they get me, I still take the tower with me. Yes if the team needs more sightstone, I buy one. If It needs more tank, I build more defensive items. But recently all the games I have had have been these players who feel they know EVERYTHING.

My adc tells me who to play, how to play, and gets mad that I have my own strategy, but then suddenly starts building support items and running away from last hits. I get people who Immediately try and report me for "intentional feed" right off the bat because I didnt pick the support THEY wanted. and they spend the whole game trashing and talking down to the team, constantly flaming about how garbage the support is and how great they are.

Yes I am strategic, but when I have an adc with his head shoved up his own ass so far he can see daylight through his teeth...It gets under my skin. And I end up going on tilt Players who feel THEY are god-tier players, seem to feel they have the exclusive privilage of talking down to everyone else. THey jump into a 3v1 while support is back at base? they die and flip out "OMG this useless support left me to die" They wander away from lane for 10 minutes and leave struggling support to try and fend off enemy ADC/Support AND jungle (and maybe even a roaming midlane) and suddenly its "This trash support lost the game for us. GG"

People act like it is 5 people on a map, but its every player for themselves. Where all that matters is who has the most kills at the end. For each lane, they act like the other lanes dont exist or are an entirely seperate game (a sort of "Not MY problem" attitude). Its a team game but people act like all that matters is who has the most bragging rights, and support isnt even part of the team, just someone there for the team to kick around and a scapegoat if the match goes south (oh we lost the match? Ok. GG...ITS ALL SUPPORTS FAULT, REPORT THE TRASH SUPPORT)

I was just giving it to you straight, Bronze and Silver players usually aren't good enough to climb with Rumble in any role.

Also you should try to prevent 3v1 fights in low ELO, you shouldn't be back at the base buying if you think someone is going to jump into a bad fight.

Yeah it would be cool if no one ever started bad fights or got caught out in low ELO, but you need to be there for that fight not complaining about 3v1.

You need to rush Sightstone every game, you should never not buy that item no matter what, in fact you should buy it first every time until you figure out when to rush another item before it. There is no possible play you can make as a support with any item that is better than wards period. Even if you get 6 kills with Brand in lane, wards are still better.

Stop trying to be so individual, it's a defense mechanism from being bad. It's less of a hit to your ego cause you're off meta and doing your own thing and everyone else can't see how it works and take advantage etc, it's just a way of making excuses.

I understand. and By 3v1, I mean I could let my adc know "oom BRB" and they wait till I am back, then run in and try and take all the kills for themselves thinking they are so OP they can easily 3v1, then when they get thier ass handed to them, they turn around and pin the blame on the support. And as for that "Stop trying to be so individual" bs, I tried that and it was a disgusting feeling. Expecting me to just be one of your hive mind buddies instead of thinking strategically on my own. You seem to really like telling people how bad they are. Does it make yo feel good. Just another bully on the internet who thinks too highly of himself. No, I am by no means perfect, heavily flawed. But I will never tell someone that being an individual is a bad thing.

Bro. If you want coaching I can get you to silver in no time. I just want to know. Are you on the forums to just vent or do you really want to take ranked seriously, and climb?

Damagefox1 votes

I am honestly doing my best to climb, but its the attitudes of my adc (as stated above) that ends up sending me on tilt. It gets under my skin and by the time I mute, the damage is already done.

Huge Issues to Note

  1. No one should be able to get under your skin as the mute button is instantaneous
  2. You cannot make the argument that you are "doing your best to climb" when you play anti-meta. As stated earlier you cannot have it both ways. You are either anti-meta to seek infamy ie: Best Rumble Support NA or you are hardcore and following the meta. Again. You. Cannot. Be. Both.
  3. Attitudes of anyone but yourself are not relevant to climbing since you cannot control that. Anything you cannot control ie: teams champs, builds, attitudes, internet are not points worth bitching about if you are serious about climbing the ladder. Since you cannot control those variables, talking about them are not worth your time. We on the forums cannot help you with those variables either since we cannot change them.
  4. You play a new build, a random playstyle, questionable items in 99% of your games. By that fact alone you are not doing your best to climb. You hinder your chances by handicapping yourself for x reason (fame, fun, experimenting in ranked, or possibly trolling). I'm not calling you a troll, but one could make that argument.

~Utility Backline Play Janna, go to probuilds.net, hit Silver. It is that simple.

You aren't thinking on your own you just are too bad at the game to climb with Rumble like most league players. It's just more of a hit to your ego when you lose with Braum compared to Rumble so you avoid it cause you have easily triggered emotions.

I suggest maybe some Judo or Jiu Jitsu training for your underlying mental weakness issues.
