How to play doomed games?

HyperHelios··3 votes·679 views

I often deal with situations, when you JUST CANT. When defeat is obvious, when you just cant do anything about situation, when YOU JUST CANT KILL ANYTHING, but team just dont surrender and you just forced play game you dont want to play. What should players (like me) do in this situations?

I hearing turning on some music that you like helps some players.

Great suggestion, and I mean it. Whenever I play games with my discord friends and they aren't helping at all, I turn their volume down and I turn on some good ol' alternative rock and that just eliminates the pressure. It makes it more realistic that you're just playing a game rather some intense overhead version of Dark Souls where if you step one wrong way you instantly die.

This will sound blunt, but if you are unwilling to finish a game until the end you should not queue up.

Games are not over until the nexus explodes, and if you work with your team in a polite, cooperative manner, it is very easy to at least make a final stand, if not come back to a decent standing.

Im not "unwilling to finish a game until end". Its really demoralizing, when every TF ends as Team Wipe, when you played as midlaner, but solo-kill anyone on map (even if you didnt lost mid), etc

You say that you’re being “forced to play a game you don’t want to play”. My point is that you signed up for the game - you wanted to play it. You should understand when you hit the queue up button and/or accept the game, you are agreeing to help your team fully until the end.

If your attitude makes you not want to do that, the only thing I can say is that you should consider the fact that games are never lost even when you think they are, until the nexus falls.

If the enemy can't win off those team fights, it means they suck at the macro game which means there is a good chance of comeback.

Also going from your Comments you probably never touched League before or atleast never made an alt for preseason. Try it, its really fun to loose Matches @ 4:34min Mark. By 10min the Score will be 2 vs 32 and when you finally can surrender @15min it will be 4 vs 45, then there is this one Guy who makes the Game go a little bit longer so when your "nexus explodes" roughly around 34min the final Score will be 8 vs 79.

But hey dont worry you can still win this Match even with a 70 kill lead from the Enemy Team.

You really kind of just gotta accept it in your mind as a loss and find what fun you can left.

Find ways to be useful. You don't have to win a teamfight to be useful. If you're not useful in the teamfights, but your team has tanks that can prolong the teamfights, try to go to another lane and push down a tower, or work on positioning and ward more key areas. Don't see it as a doomed game, see it as a new learning experience to grow and get better.

The people replying saying there are no doomed games / you're a quitter / etc, are either very new or just ignorant. There are definitely games where it's obvious you're going to lose, and you can tell by how your team is acting that they've pretty much given up as well. It's one thing to give up early, but there are 100% games that are unwinnable, either due to team comp or bad matchmaking.
