(Yet Another) Problem With League Players

There is a serious problem among league players. One of which is the fact none of them like the idea of new things. For example my last game my friend decided she wanted to legitimatley try Lucian jungle. Which yes its off meta and seems wierd but she was really going to try. But upon getting in game our other two teamates refused to help her because she was a "Troll". Still she kept trying to help them in lane, yet somehow she was always in the wrong. 0/1/4 at one point and she was called a useless feeder. Our Tahm Kench decided to just start eating her and throwing her at the enemy. Yet the enemy yelled at her and our tahm and singed blamed lucian. They would not let her explain and only continued to harass her for playing a off meta pick. After the game ended a few of the enemy team and our tahm and singed reported her. She wanted to play something different and legitimatley try and yet she couldnt even get past minions spawning before she was yelled at. This was all in a normal draft game. So tell me why is this okay? Riot encourages people to have fun. Yet the community will jump down anyones throat if they try something new unless youre a popular streamer. But if a popular youtuber or streamer tries it, everyone hops on the bandwagon... Phew sorry for my rant but this really really bothered me that she couldnt even get a chance to explain herself. It happens so often and its just irksome.

Anywho i hope you will give this a read and perhaps elaborate your thoughts as well. Id like to actually see peoples opinions whatever side that may be.

If Tahm does that, report...Take note of the time in game...Screenshot it if he says he's doing it on purpose...(alt+prt scr)

I have been confirmed by e-mail (just today) that screenshots are acceptable - submit a ticket and use the 1st option (for now).

I'm sorry that you and your friend experienced negative people when trying something different. I'd say it's a NORMAL game. Not ranked. Normal games shouldn't be taken so seriously in my opinion. If you play intermediate bots, it doesn't really help because the game ends so quickly and there's no one to give you a real feel about jungling. If it were ranked, then sure people would be reporting...but normal??? It's pretty silly to me that people don't usually encourage others when they're new or trying something different. I guess a lot of people will disagree about what I'd have to say...but I don't really care.

ppl have no faith in strangers. They thought she was going to troll, blamed her for not stomping, and trust me they'd still go " well u carried but u trolled so report regardless" even if she did stomp hard.

There's this provisional match I had back then, this guy said he wanted to be Rammus adc, and we were like "okay? go ahead".

...welp, we lost (not necessarily because of him), but no one cared, cuz the dude wasn't trolling and was actually trying to win. We just went meh and moved on.
