ADAPT or LOSE (Solo Q rant)
TL;DR: STOP BLAMING OTHERS! IT DOESN'T SOLVE THINGS! YOU WIN/LOSE AS A TEAM NO MATTER WHAT! SO SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP AND WORK TOGETHER OR LOSE TOGETHER!
I wrote a post like this about 2 years ago before I quit League for a bit last time, and it seems that literally nothing has changed so I'm writing it differently.
This post goes out to all those people who for whatever reason have played league long enough to KNOW it's a team game, but still haven't grasped the concept. For those of you who have constant complaints of, bad teams, bad matchmaking, or just general issues involving the randomness of the game, you're not unique snowflake. No matter what there's only one thing that's always in your matches, that's you. You can blame this and that, point fingers, rage, whine, doesn't change the fact you're the only thing you have 100% control of in ANY match. So start acting like it.
I'm so tired of "my team this", "you guys this", "you didn't do this right", the blame game get's old fast. You can't say anything new that hasn't been whined about at this point in LoL's history. You literally have nothing. The game's been around too long and been too successful for your lack of success to be blamed on the mysterious force that is "luck/randomness". Stop shifting blame. Even if it is "your team" or some other outside force, all you can do adapt and win, or don't and die. That's it, no magic trick, no special build, nothing crazy about it. ADAPT OR LOSE!
Whining, complaining, blaming, flaming, and general negativity aimed at your team literally solves nothing. Pointing out problems is just obnoxious, instead point out solutions.** If you know that you've got a "classic league player" (aka the least positive force on the planet) then just use the ignore feature on people. ** It minimizes time wasted on pointless team in fighting, which again solves nothing. No one leaves a match and is like, "Man I'm really glad I bitched and moaned all game I really helped my team!"; "Causing my team to fight amongst itself helped us win the game!"; "Really happy I blamed xyz, that turned the whole game around!". This simply doesn't happen (if it does it's super rare and irrelevant) because it doesn't work.
Stop being selfish in general, the game's not about stats, it's about objectives. You know which team wins every game? The team that destroys the enemy nexus. Point blank a team can have a score of 0 and the other team has 60, the team with 0 can still win based on that simple fact alone. Team composition matters because of that. Now we're getting into ranked territory, but bear in mind this applies everywhere that winning matters (which is kind of always cus who goes in trying to lose?). By the time you're level 30 you should have a fair understanding of all the roles AND basic team comps. You know when the team needs something beefier/more damage/support/heals/ect. , but refusal to adapt is just as bad as being "you guys", "my team", and well you get it...
