1v9 mentality

Lost R··1 votes·708 views

Everyone thinks they can solocarry, that they MUST solocarry, that everyone on their team is out to sabotage them specifically, and that helps contribute to the already acidic culture where no one wants to help anyone to the point that everyone goes all AD melee assassin, EVEN THE SUPPORT, expecting to win the game by themselves. They even refuse to leash for their jungler.

That culture needs to be dealt with. The game's imbalance comes from everyone trying to fill the exact same singular role and getting utterly crushed by not just a single champion, but a single skill, of which there are dozens, that counters the exact same singular tactic that everyone employs.

The enemy team must have been a phenomenal fleet of morons. An enemy composition like that is a birthday party to me.

In the majority of the rank tiers it is actually best to just be able to 1v9 carry because most ranks are full of people that have no clue how to play as a team. If you have the "win as a team lose as a team" mentality you will lose any game where your RANDOM team mates aren't pulling their weight. If you have the "I have to carry to win" mentality then you will win a lot of games where you would have lost if you relied on your team.

It's one thing if you do that, but it's another that everyone who DOES do that is going all ADC or AD melee assassin. Which they do, always. They intentionally, willfully, and eagerly play into the enemy's hands; they effectively counter themselves by overspecializing (A word nobody seems to understand the definition of, as all languages have atrophied in the community). Then they have the gall to come on the forums and complain about how broken every champion but their own main is.

I've seen both sides of that, and I've countered entire teams built like that, and I've had to try and rebalance our own team that wanted to do that. Because people wholly lack any skill, creativity, or imagination that they think the only way to solo carry a game is to play Zed or Master Yi, and EVERYONE has to fall in line behind them and build around them (the Yasuo main expecting everyone to have a knock-up for his ult is the most prominent example).

I've solo carried games many times in the past as the support. AS THE GODDAMN SUPPORT. An actual one, too! If people were actually as skilled as they like to scream at the top of their lungs in all chat, they could do that, but no. They don't even want to try to think for themselves for even a microsecond and actually think through what a champion's strengths and weaknesses are. They'll just blindly read meta stats on all the champions (which they can't read properly and it doesn't even apply to them) and base all their decisions on that.

Bro 1v9 is classic ranked in low elo, i was placed to bronze V this season, climbed to silver, and now im stuck getting people worse then bronze, every gold border team mate is boosted, or my games end up being 3v5, and not mentally, but really 2 players go afk and what can the rest of us 3 do, besides trying our best and still losing lp and dropping mmr
