Understand the champ before you get mad at the person playing them

Please understand how the champion plays before you get mad at who is playing them. Yes the Neeko just ran into the middle of the team fight and ulted, yes you were supposed to follow her and no it wasn’t inting. Yes the Sejuani didn’t just Ult the full health Annie and no that was not a free kill. And yes the Evelynn didn’t engage on the 4v1 you just threw yourself into.

The reason I’m making this post is because about a month ago my Kai’Sa adc (I was playing support) told me to stop healing myself and start supporting her. She told me not to take minions and to heal her instead of myself.

I was playing Soraka... I had 1 cs... That 1 cs was a ward...

Every time I play Illaoi, I get stuff like this.

“Why didn’t you go in?”

Because they walked away from me, because I’m Illaoi.

“Why didn’t you use your cc?”

What cc?

Every time I play yuumi the adc has no clue what she does and just flames me. A good example is a ez told me I was doing nothing and I pointed out how I had double the gold earn on my item 3303 it was like around 200 on me and 120 on the lux support and I also told him he needed to just poke them instead trying to fight but nope he didn't listen and just blamed me.

I'll take this one along one more step - people should shut the hell up in general and focus on how they're playing their own goddamn champion while in-game. :)

Lucian : wtf why did you KS both kills

Pyke : do you know how my ultimate work

Lucian : i need kills to get items

Pyke : you get the same amount of gold if i kill them with my ultimate

Lucian : idc im adc i should get the kills

will not exactly the same words but i did have a lucian who was flaming me for taking kills with pyke ultimate, and no none of them were a shut down.

The other night I was playing Twisted Fate on ARAM. When the Jarvan E+Q+R'd at us, I used my R. (He then flashed away and that was the end of the fight. ????)

An enemy asked me if I knew what my ult did.

I told him yes, I did know what it does. It reveals all enemies so they can't hide in bushes or stealth.

Kha'zix was confused as to why TF would ult in a teamfight. Hmmm.

Playing support tank Nautilus

ADC: Why didn't you run?

Me: Too slow, so I kept the enemy team from catching you.

I once played Soraka.

And because I last hitted like 2 minions, my ADC decided to run it down mid. He never did get banned, even after a fucking ticket.

Playing Yuumi this is really obvious, they flame you for not taking flash, and they take heal, they stay AWAY from your max q range and they stay away of your w range so you cant get saved when he is not in danger.

"Support didn't shield me- report."

I was Morgana and my ADC was Caitlyn ulted.

"My shield wouldn't help."

My ADC proceeded to believe it would indeed have helped and flamed the whole game.

"i'm not intentionally feeding, you guys just won't follow me up when i go in!"

this statement can be both serious and non-serious.

also when the enemy gets mad at you for playing a "no skill champion" while they are losing lane, it can be pretty funny. "what, why isn't all your skill beating me? why is your skill trying to fight someone 2 levels above you and with a way better KDA and way more CS than you?"

While this is true, most players don't know the capabilities of their champions themselves.

Yeah, but at the same time, you should never expect perfect communication or synchronization in a SoloQ game. An Kennen, for example, I can't just go in and ult every time i thin that my team following me instantly would lead us to victory. Without communication, it's IMPOSSIBLE for us to play that well. I have to use my ult when I see we are already engaging, when a fight is already happening, or when my team is already on the offensive, and will probably be able to follow instantly.

On the flip side, understand your allies before you dive into every enemy and get mad at them when you accomplish nothing but dying.

I can flame if I understand the champ their playing?

Same with enemy champs before you complain about them being overpowered. Current Aatrox felt unbeatable to me for the first few days in the hands of a competent player until I committed to understanding his vulnerabilities. Now I build MS while laning vs him and chose durable champs that can make good trades and stuff him in teamfights.

His bonus healing % while ulted is still just straight bonkers tho lmao
