Here we go again...

This Is Your Dad··1 votes·564 views

So on the next episode of Riot RNG I got some veigar mid that ragequits after his second death 3 minutes in, comes back 15 minutes later after we've put up one hell of a fight i'm 7/2/7 as a support trying my damndest. And so seeing this, he.... sells all his items and walks down mid claiming someone on his team used racial slurs against him in all chat, bought 3 control wards, placed them in fountain, bought a longsword and dagger, and then bought real ap items as the nexus was going down. Really. Why. I'm almost bronze again because of this total lack of effort or emotional bamboozledry that keeps happening. I get it, statistically it's actually more likely to happen on the enemy team but... WHAT THE HELL? I mean I totally get it if I get a couple of guys going 5/7 or whatever. What I don't get is having to support a ziggs adc that's about as toxic as teemo's farts, having to try and play a 4v6 the entire game because someone died 1 time and can't get over it, or otherwise total disregard for anything beyond the right freaking now. I'd like to add, for the tone of the post, I honored the 2/11 jinx on my team because he was really trying and refused to give up and even though he did poorly he was super positive and i enjoyed supporting him.

I'm going to take a long break from ranked in hopes that whatever the hell is wrong with matchmaking is fixed. These aren't even fair odds.

Odds are actually in your favor of something like this happening. That is to say, if there is a griefer, intentional feeder, troll, afk, etc, there is more of a chance for it to be on the enemy team then on yours.

There are 5 unknown variables on the enemy team in terms of players and only four on yours, assuming you are none of the above. This means if there IS someone who is toxic there is a 55% chance for them being on the enemy team and only 44% on yours.

It should even out over time.

It finally settled last game but I almost got demoted again. There were games I didn't do well in, of course. I'm not saying anything like I want plat now kinda crazy talk. It was just getting borderline ridiculous basically losing the game at the three minute mark because someone ragequit or sold their items for 4 games straight on my team. I'm not talking about unintentional losses. I'm talking about end game post chat GG I TROLLED NOOBS kind of losses that make you feel like you can't impact a game. I had an ashe adc quit right after the remake timer because her support said he was going to steal her cs because she entered the game saying "This support is trash gg we lose". I had the mid lane veigar ragequit over a jungler miscommunication, I had a teemo top sell his items halfway through, a lux do a smiley every time she died in the middle of some random location.... it just got suffocating. It's the selling your items or leaving part that I was so frustrated with.

It sucks. I've been there (bronze to high silver) and I had to undergo some serious mental shifts in how I approached the games so I stayed positive. There was a streak where one of my friends, who was one of those people who believed you never blamed your teammates and should take responsibility for your play and the loss, told me I was just having a shitty time of it with teammates.

After that streak I had changed my mental state and incorporated a couple new things to help my play. I ended that season on a 14 game ranked win streak including a game where we had a 4v5.

Keep your head up, take a break if you need to. Listen to music you enjoy that can help calm you down if that helps. I personally usually listen to a combination of Pendulum and Caravan Palace (weird mix I know).

Maybe I'll play some 80s metal in the background but can I turn off the in game music? I've never tried to.

Audio options. I play with most sounds, except for pings and announcements deleted.

Thanks. Do you use a station or youtube so you dn't have to change your playlist thing for an hour?

I used to do a video on youtube for Pendulum that was a mix from like 2014.

Thanks man, I really appreciate your heartfelt comment. I learned a lot from it and I think coming forward we'll all be better off knowing that you won't miss my ass.
