TFW you get forced into a role you don't play, and you tell them that

And then you lose, and they're like, no offense but you suck at that role. Like well no shit what made you think that? It's not like I told you it's my worst role or anything.

Why not just dodge, lose 3 lp, save your mmr the hit, then requeue in 5 minutes?

Probably should have, I had hope, we were winning, and destroying, then we never grouped and lost, not to mention I had 0 peel from any of the tanks on my team, who decided to charge the back line, leaving the squishies open to all damage, while the enemy team actually had peel for their backline, it was kind of a stupid match, considering we should have won it.

I give my team the benefit of the doubt. I may be bronze VI jungle/adc, but if they're putting me in this position after I tell them I'm bad at them, they must really think they can carry in the other roles.

So, carry me! You can say you're angry at me when you realize I can't carry my weight; I know that anger is truly aimed at yourself for putting us in this position.

Ranked is set up to see how good you are. Playing a role you are terrible at is like letting a homeless guy pick out the clothes you're wearing for an interview. It could go fine. You could end up not wearing pants though also...

Don't care about the mmr or lp. It's way more fun to fifth pick Annie adc and watch the reactions of my team. Role doesn't change my champion pick a single bit. I queue up knowing exactly which champion I plan to pick and that's the end of it.

I always try my best even if it's a weird role for the champ safe in the knowledge that anyone who flames me is getting reported and probably punished with a chat restriction or ban for doing so.

If you get stuck in a position where you can't play you should probably dodge. You will end up losing the game for not just you, but everyone else. You cannot expect other people to 'carry you" the onus is on you. Everyone in the game has a set MMR which determines your rank so if you are playing a bunch of Golds and Mid - gold play top - gold play - jg - gold play and you're support and you go - bronze play.

The chances are they will lose the game because of your inability in one position. You can either dodge, accept the loss based off your faults or go learn that position (most recommended)

Or there's people out there who don't want to dodge. Get a role they dislike. End up feeding. And they don't even want to try.

Exactly. At the end of the day it's the OP's fault for not being well versed in ranked play, where 99.9% of players know you have to know how to play every position in solo Q. That's a fact. You have to have some idea of how to play all positions. If you don't sure, complain that your team couldn't carry you after feeding. Be that guy. Be that guy that expects everywhere else to cater to him. However don't be surprised when your rank shows that you're losing games because you get stuck in positions you suck at, and it will happen. I personally hate playing support as an adc and mid main. However I can play almost 9 supports really well, so that if stuck in support I still know how to play them and won't lose MYSELF LP.

I don't play "roles". I play champions. If that means I'm fifth pick and only jungle or adc is left, I'm still picking Annie and I don't care. I'll jungle as best I can with her, but it doesn't change my champion pick one bit.

lolptwoDec 30, 20151 votes

Roles =/= picking in meta champions but you still have to know how to play that role with your champion. For example there is a champion player called Scrumm who plays Talon only in every single position and got to challenger only playing Talon. Most pro's hate playing with him on their team but they don't complain in game to him.

However once in those positions he doesn't feed uncontrollably because he doesn't understand the position and expects his team to "carry" him because he doesn't know those positions. That would be his fault for not knowing those positions

I recall once when I was kid being forced to play as a catcher in a baseball game. I tried to tell my coach that I could not play as a catcher and I did not want to. They made me anyway. Three pitches in, I took a pitch directly to my knee because I did not perform the catcher's stance correctly. If I knew then what I know now, I would have hated my coach from that day forward because my knee hurt for hours. If I remember correctly, they then assigned the catcher's role to someone who wanted the position in the first place.

I've been in this situation in League before as well. A player told me I had to be the jungle role because there was no one left. I found that amusing and told them so. Needless to say, I did not take the jungle during the game. I did not say another word during the game but was still reported for offensive language. More likely the person who told me I should take the jungle used that to complain to Riot that I was refusing to play how that person wanted me to. To that person, I say "You don't tell me how to play."

To the OP, you should have just played however you wanted. Unless you do something dumb like fail to participate or intentionally feed the enemy kills, Riot won't punish you for playing how you want.

Terrible analogy

TenzosanDec 30, 20151 votes

Never enter ranked until you know the general basics of EVERY role and have at least ONE champion you can play in each role. I'm not saying you're at fault for being put in this position but you ARE at fault for not practicing and working on improving your own gameplay. If you can perform the main basics and play at least one champion in every role then you at least have a fighting chance to not drag your team down by being "put in your worst role".

I've played thousands of matches and have thrown myself into every position. I've played every character and have tried just about every conceivable build, troll build, meta build, whatever. Entering ranked, Jungle will still be my worst role. As you climb in elo, it's simply not feasible to be maximally efficient at your worst role, especially when the enemies you're facing in that role continue to get more skilled as you climb.

TenzosanDec 30, 20151 votes

In higher elos people become more specialized in their preferred roles and it is not as common to complain or be toxic toward people who perform poorly. I'm not saying you have to be the best jungler, but I am saying you should be competent enough in the role to just do what needs to be done. Worst case scenario you won't have an impact on lanes... but you are denying the enemy jungler your buffs and you are denying the enemy laners a free kill on you. Being absent from the games is kinda what the devourer has implied and as such you should just work on your own game the best you can.
