Ranked: Players more interested in chasing kills, than taking the nexus.

Its starting again, More and more teams are becoming Nothing more than People competing with teammates to see who can fight over the most kills They cry and complain over "you KS me" while the dragon will go untouched (untill the enemy takes it). It seems like I am the only one who actually tries to take towers. I can watch a bot lane tower sit at 5-10 Hp while the team fights over a SINGLE kill in top lane and then spends 10 minutes crying over "u stole my kill. ur trash"

Meanwhile the enemy drops our towers like they are nothing. But the easiest way for them to distract the team is to throw a sacrificial kill in top lane. I have watched all 4 people on the enemy team go after bot lane tower, they put an easy solo player top lane...and EVERYONE else on my team goes after the kill, fighting each other for who can secure it. Meanwile I die trying to defend the bot lane tower solo, and then get told how much of a "Feeder" I am and how i need to be "banned from the game for feeding"

I am really getting pissed off and frustrated with this "Only kills matter" attitude. If you want to focus on your kills, if you cant see beyond your own kda, GTFO THE GAME. I am sick and tired of losing matches because people think how good thier solo kda looks in game is more important than....WINNING THE MATCH. People will ignore towers, avoid objectives, completely ignore grouping (especially in bronze) because a notion "If i help the team, they might steal my kills" Rather than focus on taking the nexus, they screw everyone else over and avoid all towers. I had a recent match where we were losing our towers steadily, the team was too busy chasing kills while ignoring towers. They seemed to think that having ONE tower down in 30 minutes meant we were winning. meanwhile the enemy relentlessly drops our towers while the teammates split off in 4 different directions after thier SOLO kills. And the icing on the cake, I will get told how I need to be reported as an "intentional feeder" for being the only one trying to defend the towers while the rest of the team is all fighting each other to kill ONE solo player in top lane (obvious bait)

I see this game like chess, 5 players, 5 different roles, All working towards ONE goal (Rook, queen, king, bishop, knight, etc) But rather than take the nexus (Checkmate) kids would rather sit around and throw the chess pieces at each other, bragging about how many times they hit the other team. Who cares about winning when you can just throw pieces at each other (go for kills)

This is about people coming onto a TEAM game, and then turning around to treat it like Some call of duty free for all some quake deathmatch.

THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS THE NEXUS! The enemy team is not gonna spontaniously run out of kills and declare you the winner because you didnt bother with towers but went 19/1/3 Drop the damn Free for all Mentality and get your head out of your a$$. Bronze has become unwinnable because people are too greedy and too busy patting themselves on the back over thier "killstreaks" even when thier solo attitude results in a loss for the rest of the team. Because who cares about winning when you can brag about how you got the most kills on the team, so you MUST be OP. Even While the REST OF THE TEAM has to stare at the "DEFEAT" screen because rather than help your team, you felt running off after those solo kills was more important than helping your team against a tank onslaught. But hey, They are just your "trash team", not as good as you, right?

my strat in bronze is to do something else if i can to halp us win if there's nothing i can see to do elsewhere i will join them and try to take the nearest objective after the fight, if the enemy is splitting as you say just give them the tower and keep pushing what you are diong to get preasure going against them. your team will wither base and go for the splitpush kill or just walk over to it while you are left splitting freely for a little while.

find a way to use your teams weakness against the enemy if possible, no sometimes you just get shat on oh well.

I can only do so much as a support, and If I dont build according to what adc/team demands, I get accused of "Trolling". I can get ambushed, CC'ed to a standstill, and still have my team accusing me of "inting" But when I try and tell people we need to focus towers and objectives I get told "stfu troll" Had a jungler who gave the enemy team 2 dragons and then told me "dragons dont win games, stupid" (spoiler alert: Enemy team got a 3rd dragon and ended up winning the game) and In a more recent match I Was essentially told that because I am support "You have no right to speak" (and people wonder why supports hate playing support more and more)

So yeah I can try and do different things. More recently I have decided if my team only wants to chase kills, I will just stop healing them. (Kinda like a little kid who doesnt get their chocolate milk untill they finish thier vegetables) "you dont get anymore healing untill you finish destroying that tower"

Chill your horses.. Yearly Resets.. its just S rank farming for chests

Actually Not really. It happens regardless, Its not just a "preseason" thing. not just a "farming for chests" thing. Its an "I want all the attention on ME so I am gonna force a "solo carry" so I can be the 'hero' of the match" Rather than just help the team and work as a team, they want all the attention and honors on them. So they will chase solo kills, abandon thier team for thier own self interest. They will try and artifically "create" an S rank or do whatever they can so they can pat themselves on the back and set themselves as the "solo carry"

Its not just a season thing. Its a League COMMUNITY thing. Rather than play the game as a TEAM, win as a TEAM, they want all the attention on THEM solo. I have seen people sit back and let thier team die and refuse to help because it might 'blemish' thier "Perfect game"

I've played on teams with kill-chasers. If it makes the games drag out too long, I report them for griefing due to refusing to end the game... especially if they walk away from an open nexus.

Yeah I have had games, as I said, where the enemy tower or inhib is held up by toothpicks, But rather than push and end they decide to run and chase any kill that pops up on thier map. Or we could just end and they pull a "Dont end yet, I want penta"....and they cost us the match because thier personal showboating beats actually ending the match and winning.

So I have started deciding to cut players off from healing/support who abandon the TEAM in favor of chasing thier needless SOLO kills. You want to play SOLO (meaning its all about YOU and YOUR personal greed) then I will cut you off and support the rest of the team, you can die alone like you want. Someone goes solo for thier personal greed and ignores the rest of the team, its pretty much a 4v5

But I thought gold and higher is always objectives over kills? Yet you're in plat and people are chasing you around? Sounds pretty contradictory.

Lost another game because of Showboaters and greed kids. They go off solo after thier own kills. We had mid tower & Inhib down and could have just gone in to end at any time. Rather than go in through mid and go after the nexus tower (we already took one down). They decided they wanted to showboat, try and take down ALL towers, ALL inhibs as WELL as try and "Farm kills" off the enemy. We could have won, but the team decided thier solo kda needed some inflation, so ran solo after kills and ended up costing us the match because they refused to end. Could have gone in, take nexus turret, take nexus, WIN instead we get to lose because greedy showboaters want to artificially inflate thier kda, sit around trying to farm kills in ranked so they "look pro" and end up costing the whole team the match. If you want to focuse on YOUR kills, please get off a team based game. I am tired of losing game because of your narcissistic greed and desire to showboat/humiliate the enemy team. Its not enough to just win the match, you have to make sure to destroy ANY hope the enemy team has of making a comeback. And you end up screwing over the entire team to do it.

Go chase your Glory kills on some other game, I am getting sick of dealing with it. This is a team game, Not your personal floorshow.

I've noticed a increase of them myself sadly. Even with a Plat player right out insulted me in a custom game because I was carried by my teammate. I guess the person who does nearly 90% of all tower damage is bad.

Guess people just want to complain if things don't go their way.
