So, I had a game with a super friendly feeder

Basically, a Tryndamere got camped and everyone was flaming him for doing poorly, saying that he should uninstall, get cancer, etc. Anyways, it got bad enough to the point where our mid, adc and jg were all flaming him, not taking into consideration that he got camped into oblivion. I thought he was gonna troll us or flame back, but nope, he kept apologizing and trying his best, even splitting and taking like three turrets and a drake. We lost the game not because of him, but because our midlaner got caught. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I appreciate it when I get super friendly players like that Trynda, who try their best even when things aren't looking too hot. Thought a bit of positivity could brighten everyone's day ^-^

This is the time I honor tryd for being tilt proof.

Title is wrong. Feeding and trying your best but losing lane are two different things. I hope the tryndamere reported the toxicity btw.

ONLY YOU ARE THE REASON WHY YOU'RE TOXIC

NOT YOUR TEAM

Tryndamere Props to that positive fellow

Had a similar situation with a Jax today. He lost his lane to the pantheon early game unfortunately, and our bot lane kept flaming him. But after all he stayed cool and never typed a single word to them back. He even said "srry" after his 16th death to the enemy fountain! To our sadness, his plan to distract the enemies by running into them 1v5 and standing still, didn't pay off, but we still managed to pull off the victory. I smashed that honour button at the end of the game! (I actually honoured him for great shotcalling)

not taking into consideration that he got camped into oblivion.

No dude. Stop making excuses for him. Unless this was a high Diamond game, being camped is no fuckin excuse to feed your ass off. I don't recommend flaming someone but I totally understand why his team would flame. I'd have been fuming too depending on my mood. And yes, you did lose the game because of him. It's his fault your team had to deal with fed opponent.

Also, for anyone curious why camping doesn't mean anything below high Diamond, consider this:-

A jungler ganking in Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum: Jungler randomly runs into a lane, hoping the enemy didn't ward and throws abilities randomly while hoping for the best.

A jungler ganking in high Diamond, Master and Challenger: Jungler watches the state of a lane. If the enemy is low HP, jungler pings. Laner sets up large pushing wave or hard shoves(whichever is better under the circumstances). Jungler and laner dive low HP enemy and kill under tower. Sometimes, the mid laner would see the play in advance and start roaming and it becomes a 3 man dive. Also while all this is happening, everyone knows where the enemy jungler is so no chance he just randomly comes and fucks everything up.

Which scenario do you think being camped would actually mean something? Being camped in Low elo doesn't mean shit.

I generally find if I'm in this trynd's shoes (not playing trynd of course, but I mean getting camped and falling to a pretty awful KDA) one of two things happens:

my team realizes I'm only dying due to a camp and actually plays the game. Since I'm generally still ahead in farm despite being 0/5 I'm still in the game and get underestimated, and win those games fairly regularly.
my teammates start flaming me. They then int repeatedly into the fed enemy jungle/mid and we lose quickly with it all being "my fault".

Basically, short of someone actually inting (or dying 1v1), if someone has a bad game but overall the game isn't out of control, as soon as someone starts flaming you kind of know the game is a loss. And it's not the fault of the guy dying - it's the guy flaming who isn't paying attention anymore.

I think a lot of people really don't realize the difference between dying 1v1 or 1v2. When you're getting camped you're becoming worth less gold and XP, and they're sharing wave XP and not getting jungle XP. Basically those deaths are just gold deficits, but often not XP deficits. Whereas 1v1 deaths quickly lead to 1-3 level XP deficits that are MUCH more difficult to overcome.

Good teamplay or caution can easily bring you back from a champion having 1000-1400 extra gold (3-4 kills). It's much tougher to come back from someone with that much gold AND a 2 level lead on the map and 3 on their Lane opponent who is entirely out of the game.

Which is why it's also really important to not die to roams after making your opponent base (ie don't overstay). Yes, you want to push the wave in, but if you die in those cases the guy getting solo kill XP can start to take over the game really quickly.

I have absolutely no quarrel with anyone playing terribly but acknowledging their mistakes. No matter how bad. As long as they try to win.

If you play terrible, flame your team, bitch, and soft int/refuse to participate with your team, now that's another story and I might not be that well disposed.

Players like that make the game fun even if its a loss.

Is this the game where the Trynda went 1/10/0 ? Sorry, but despite the fact that I am anti-flame (never flame, never been punished in any way), and believe me that i UNDERSTAND how bad it can be to have everyone being toxic while you are having a bad time, 1/10 is just too much to accept in a ranked game. If you are on a champion on which you are at least somewhat comfortable, you should never be capable of going 1/10. Especially Trynda, one of the hardest to kill champs in LoL.

This is a case of soft inting, meaning that he doesn't intentionally int, but he also doesn't put ANY effort into staying alive, using the fact that it is a lost game to justify to himself that he isn't trying his best. And while soft inting isn't as bad as hard inting, it should steel be at least somewhat punishable, to motivate people to actually TRY to be good at the game

Amen brother, we need more people like him, and less people like the rest of your team! -.-

That chat log is gold for banning people.

Just remember Riot, people who are justifiably banned are far far more likely to just make a new account and start over. Easy money.

I would do the same.

I was in the same game as a jungle Shaco a few days back. Was 1/6 at the beginning of the game. Pretty sure he was quite new to the game. Wanted to surrender and wanted us to say yes. I started following him around to help him out a bit towards the end of the game. After carrying him for a bit, he goes ahead and gets a quadrakill at the inhibitor turret and aces the other team to win us the game. He got the most honours even though he had negative behaviour and low kda. What a lad!
