Reportable Behavior
Dear Riot, I have asked you before and I kindly ask you again to spectate or play in some of my games so you can see for yourself what people have to deal with from teammates. Like everyone else, I don't enjoy losing; but what really gets on my nerves is when I have teammates flame me and try to place all the blame on me for losses while I'm the only one doing anything positive.
Chance to get "free" kills in lane, counter-gank and punish the camping enemy jungler plus get towers and/or herald? No, let's gank for a feeding mid or bot lane instead. Cuz if the first 5 times of ganking in 15 min didn't get them to where they can win 1v1 and 2v2, surely the 6th time will. Never mind I could flash auto the enemy toplaner and hit them with one basic spell to pick up a kill and I'm topside full hp with sums - ganking that would surely be a waste of time. Toplane asks losing teammates to group so they can survive enemy 3 or 4 man rotations and hold towers? Adc never listens - either costing team mid towers, kills and dragons or barons or costing adc his life for 20 farm, no tower pressure, and mid gets right back in same situation when enemy team rotates. What if I group instead of holding my own 1v2 top or punishing enemy 1v1 top and getting tower pressure? Team ditches a winning fight and leaves me to die. Then flame me for "bad engage". So I split? Then when they die mid and lose tower, I get flamed by whole team for "not grouping" and split-pushing adc who is getting nothing bot (and usually dies again) doesn't get any salt from team. Please explain how this is tolerated...
I don't appreciate when teammates ignore free gank or rotation opportunities for kills, towers and objectives. I like it even less when they continually make the same OBVIOUSLY bad play - like it got them killed and lost objectives the last 10 times they did it - and then blame me for it all. Sure, they might not use "bitch", "idiot" or some other offensive language, but they are being just as horrible and toxic. This behavior goes undetected and unpunished even when reported. If people are going to make stupid selfish plays all game long or tolerate someone on the team doing that, they have NO RIGHT to be flaming someone else on the team for TRYING to get the team to make BETTER choices. And BLAMING the person who is actually getting stuff done and TRYING to be a team player - hard when the team won't work with you no matter what you do - is just that much further into the realm of unacceptable behavior. This needs to be fixed. It is not a 1 game incident. It is not 5% of games or less. It is ridiculous and unacceptable. So I CHALLENGE you to spectate or play in some of my matches and see for yourself what I have to deal with in a large portion of my games. It is not just me dealing with stuff like this either - others have to put up with excessive bs too. Some like me are brave enough to post about it despite knowing people will probably do it to us more because we post - others are not that brave or don't know you can post that stuff. I had 2 weeks straight of 90% auto-losses because of crap like this back in early spring and I don't want to deal with it again. Take the challenge. Spectate or play in the matches, see for yourself and THEN either fix it, or tell me there is nothing wrong with such behavior. Because this is the kind of behavior that makes decent human beings not want to join league and other decent human beings want to quit or turn into a raging jerk themselves.
