You spend more time telling everyone else how to play, than playing yourself.

Seriously...Piss off with that. Every single match. we have to deal with these players who feel it is THEIR sole responsibility to control everyone else on their team. "Oh you cant build that, its not allowed for that lane" "You cant play >insert champ< , you need to pick a -real support/adc/mid/top/etc" (This statement Really pisses me off to no end. "That Item isnt allowed with that champ, sell it and buy X"

Every single game, there is that one self entitled child who feels it is thier duty, their sole responsibility to not suggest...but DEMAND/DICTATE Who a player can play for their role. HOW they play their role. WHAT they build for their role. and they WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT IT. All this does is make me less interested in hearing what a whiney little self-entitled toddler has to say. Someone who thinks way too highly of themselves. As if THEY alone get to decide what champions or playstyles are permissable for thier team. No no no why should you bother playing your own champ according to your own strategy, when you can have an adc that "knows better than you" what you should build, where you should go. When they start dictating who goes where just so that the champions selected fall more in line with the current "meta"

I mean all that foolish thought about "unique and different play styles" BAH! Who needs that when you can have someone telling you how your personal strategy that may have worked well enough for you in the past is now "Trolling" because you arent falling in line with what they believe the meta dictates.

and before It comes up, Yes I know that Not ALL champion selections work for ALL lanes. But I am not talking about those. I am talking about the PLAYERS who feel it is there right to make the decision of who and how you play FOR YOU! Not the friendly suggestions type, but the "I know better than you and if you dont play/build how I want I am reporting you for trolling" and if you still refuse to cater to their wishes, they will drop to the ground (or abandon lane and run back to spawn) and then proceed to kick and scream while they throw the match (usually by just not leaving spawn while they have thier fit, or going to other lanes to intentionally feed) all while telling the rest of the team "report our troll". All the while the person who ends up being the troll is them.

In a recent match I had a xayah adc. I went jax support (because it managed to get me on a winstreak before running into these puritans). Immediately xayah started throwing a fit from the start because "jax isnt a support" and so she had automatically designated me as a troll. So what does she do?

  • Abandons lane (while saying the match is lost because "jax support is troll"
  • Goes top and proceeds to intentionally feed kills (still saying how the loss is my fault because...jax support)
  • Runs mid when top kicks her out of his lane and proceeds to feed more kills (still, loss is the fault of jax support) Btw this whole time I am doing my best to defend bot lane solo while adc is having her tantrum after top and mid are fed, I managed to help them get one or two towers, we almost made a comeback, feeling good.
  • So...the puritan xayah going on about how "we lost because our troll jax support"...decides she is going to repeatedly dive 1v2 because "Well I have no support so you dont care about me"

and of course we lost the match why? Because the adc felt rather than actually working with me and adapting to the situation, she would rather throw an infantile temper tantrum and cause us to lose a RANKED match. All because the champion I chose wasnt in line with the current "meta" This is what pisses me off. Where the meta has become some fundamentalist cult to the point any player risks being burned at the stack just at the mere sight of going off meta.. People like Xayah feel they are the ONLY people who get to decide what everyone else plays. Yes some things work for some people, and dont work for others. And yeah, some champs dont work for every role PERIOD. But if it happens, it happens. Dont spend the entire match having a temper tantrum and throwing your toys around because someone didnt play WHat YOU wanted them to. Didnt build according to YOUR gameplan, or doesnt follow YOUR schedule. If you are that inflexible and unwilling to actually work with others. Why are you even playing this game, just go play a single player game without anyone else and you can have all the control you want.

TL:DR This is a team game, ONE person does not have the right to make the decisions on who the team plays, how they play, what they build. If things dont go your way, you dont have the right to throw the game and have a temper tantrum. If you do, the only troll in the match is YOU. Because you are throwing the whole match because someone didnt cater to YOUR demands.

On the other hand - me: "team we killed their jngler and the bot based lets do infernal, they have a lead we got lucky they will respawn and take it" team: no answer farming jngl and lanes and stuff few seconds later: "enemy team has slay the dragon"

another one - me: "lee top ww come bot we can do drag their botlane is weak they can't contest and don't have vision there" ww: goes straight to red on the other side of the map

another one - me: "wait a min(60 sec only) while i push this wave botlane it will crush on our turret" team: goes in without me die and MIA ping me

and it goes on and on..

I start making demands when the entire enemy team is dead for 30 seconds and no one is going to baron. Sometimes your teammates aren't telling you THEIR way to play the game. They are telling you the OPTIMAL way to play the game.

I will agree with you on item builds and champion select though. No one should be dictating any of that. It doesn't mean that I won't complain if I am in promos and my ADC Urgot is building full AP.

The truth is always somewhere in the middle.

I'm real quick to mute people if they want to argue about anything.

Enjoy screaming into the wind, friend.

I am sorry but when we are losing vs Mundo, Vladimir, Warwick , Vayne and Soraka and my ADC builds Lord Dominic's instead of a Mortal Reminder, I just have to tell them to change the fucking item and if they refuse, I have to tell them that they might not have the mental capacity to play this game.

Yes I get mad when my graves adc buys executioner's calling and a manager crystal first item vs a team with no real healing. He then proceeds to sell it all to buy a bf sword in crit 20 minutes later

While its true that you shouldnt dictate how your teammates play, it is only natural to become angry when one of your teammates, for example, refuses to build omen when there are at least two crit based champs. Its one of the worst feelings when the enemy adc or apc is fed, and your tank refuses to build that said tank item to lower the dmg that he takes.

Yep, this is one of the things that help being toxic. Less typing, more playing.

You could be doing so much more than concentrating on that chat box, saying jack shit....

Exactly! I HATE when this bullshit happens. If I wanna play something like Ziggs support or Veigar top, then that's what i'm going to do! And you still expect everyone to report me for trolling when you are ACTIVELY SABOTAGING THE TEAM???
