Tonight's Mental Health in Games
Tonight's last 3 games were easily the worst I've experienced in a while from players.
Game 1(Loss) -
Guy wants Yasuo in lobby, nobody picks him to swap so he picks Teemo mid instead to troll. We all know how this goes. In the lobby, people typing "gg" and freaking out. We get into the game and I gank top early after red buff, we both die from a counter gank. I messed up. Mordekaiser loses his mind and rages at me pretty much until the 20 minute mark. He never forgets this mistake and can't let it go. At a certain point, every lane is AFK after a failed early surrender vote. I am actually playing a 1v5 at this point. I believe the actual game score was 7 kill to 20 kill with probably a large gold gap but the enemy team was making mistakes with their lead(as what usually happens). When I suggested the team farm when we had openings, the Mordekaiser continued to call me an idiot while complaining in "All Chat" constantly.
Game 2(Loss)-
For some reason, bot was Sona and Tahm. Whatever - people do stuff and if they're confident - I don't care. Well, it didn't work out. I could tell immediately stuff was going south as the Sona spammed that super irritating "MISSING?" ping constantly on the Tahm Kench or on me if they thought I should burn a flash attempting to get a kill(which I won't do). This is another loss with the Sona constantly freaking out and spamming "FF" while pinging from about 5 minutes in.
Game 3(Win)-
Hey, a win - great, right? Sure - but again we have a freakout player. The same Teemo player from Game 1 is back but fortunately he got Yasuo this time. We're winning fairly consistently this game after the 9 minute mark but he begins to lose it. There was a point he wanted us to go to Baron and we didn't. The game was still close at this point, 4 players were BOT lane and the death timers were like 20 seconds. By the time we would start baron - all of their players would be spawned and I don't feel like putting my fate into that situation. Sadly, he was losing it over this and continued to when we lost the next fight. Fortunately, we won the game totally on the next fight and got baron but this after being called idiots and trash.
Sorry for the long rant but its just frustrating.
My analogy would be if you were on a real life sport(like say, Football) and the team is down 0-14 at halftime.The coach walks into the locker room and proceeds to tell the team "YOU SUCK IDIOTS". That's the game plan? We still have another half left. What do you expect the future to realistically be in this situation? Do you want your team to quit? AFK? Get mad back? I can guarantee this rarely improves player skill and almost always degrades focus. Just my thoughts...
