Yet another day in Blinds

Small context; usually I don't call roles, I'm fine with whatever role I end up getting (a.k.a, I go 'fill'), and this period is just me being interested into playing some Lux.

So I joined into a Blinds game today and mid/jgl/top was very quickly taken. Nobody called support, and since Lux is a suitable Support, I pick her. Suddenly there's the fifth player coming in late, calling 'sup'. Even though 3 people (including me) said that only ADC was free, he forces sup anyway with a sup already locked in, and so locks in skarner. He never even answered on our calls that he should go ADC.

Game starts, and the party immediately begins. First up, Skarner says (when we're already in game, and I'm already with Lee waiting for Red) that I must go ADC, Then our jungle calls for a leash on red because skarner is sitting idle in bot, and skarner flat out says NO. Right off the bat, we're getting an attitude of no teamwork from him. He puts a ward in the most questionable place (eh, it's silver elo, okay.), but is COMPLETELY blind to the enemy botlane attempting to invade. I end up getting easily stunned and KO'd without being able to respond, in a situation where any normal person wouldn't be alone in. Luckily, their support got the kill, no real harm done. Until skarner 'support' then dies by the ADC twice in a row.

The game goes on and they managed to get some kills as they were getting fed. I was trying my best rowing with the paddles I had, and albeit my poor start I get a positive KDA very swiftly to recompensate for lost time (because hey, he said I should go ADC, right???). Though throughout the whole match, he keeps on rampaging saying that I should be reported for 'instalocking'. I swear, I must have missed the notice where Instalocking is an actual reportable offense, and au contraire, it was him that claimed a role that was already taken and clarified by multiple people, but chose to ignore that.

Then the Renekton in our toplane suddenly starts shouting that I am INTING/FEEDING the team (Whilst Skarner literally went 0/10/2 by that time, and I was 7/3/1), and decides to quit at 15' because 'this game was lost'. He later came back, and soon a teamfight erupts at 20', he then demands I get reported for killstealing while I'm actually trying to carry the game albeit the horrid situation we're in.

How lovely this game is. Where people try to get you into trouble for made up rules (Really, where does it say that breaking the 'calling is claiming' code, or that killstealing (in a teamfight) is something you can get in trouble for?), that I should be banned from the game for locking in support, killstealing when the whole team forces me to be the carry instead, whilst in their eyes Inting, Giving Up, and flat out LEAVING THE GAME is perfectly fine?

How I love this mentality. Absolutely making my day every time.

You picked the mode where a majority of it's players reside on the chaotic neutral/evil side of the alignment chart. For blinds mains, what you experienced was just a normal Tuesday.

The thing about blind - is that 5 people can be junglers if they want. There aren't any positions or roles. I understand that it's frustrating, but as Quiet Dude mentioned, it's a chaotic game mode. Do draft if you want more structure.

In blind anything goes apparently so I prefer not to do it anymore because when it comes to blind you’re always wrong but that means you’re right

so this whole QQ thread is about flaming and afk-ing? Cut the fluffs (stuffs that's not rule breaking) and you could had reduce it down to 1 paragraph. You go into Blinds expect this kind of things. That's why people avoid Blind mode like the plague. You had other option (Draft mode), but you chose to go into Blind anyway so shouldn't be complaining about things that is normal to Blind mode. If someone looks like he's going to be toxic from champ select, mute him and report after game if you feel the need.

I'm fine with whatever role I end up getting (a.k.a, I go 'fill')

Looks like you took spellthief that game. Funny you claim you are fine with whatever role you end up getting (as is the best attitude to have when going into Blind mode), but doesn't look like you attempted to go APC with that "support" item you shouldn't pick up if you are to cs like an APC should. Not anything against the rules, just an observation about your flexibility in Blind. You knew from champ select that skarner wasn't going to go adc, but you picked up spellthief first item anyway, I guess to go duo Support lane (perfectly fine in Blind, just not..."fill").

But hey, multiple junglers sounds interesting. As long as I intend to win the game it should be fine, not?

Duo Support sounds interesting too as long as you intend to win the game. It should be fine to answer your question. If you are flexible and "fill", then maybe pick up Doran Ring as first item next time and go APC.

If you know you are not breaking any rules and from your descriptions, you are not, then who cares what people say? Just mute and report them and move on with your life. Cut the unimportant fluffs and this whole thing is 1 single paragraph RANT about flaming and not afk (renekton did not afk based on exp over time graph).

p.s. - you put down 8 wards total in a 20 minutes game WITH a 20 minutes warding totem AND remmant of the watchers item (quite an investment for an AP carry that doesn't even use warding totem when it is off cooldown).
