Have you every thought "well maybe you lost because the person you're laning against is better?" Basically what i'm getting at is that it seems quite rare for someone to accept the fact that they lost because of various reasons with the most common being that the person they're laning against is better. But it seems like in the eyes of the bot lane for example, that they lose becaues of the support for example. Isn't it time to stop blaming others for your shortcomings and start accepting defeat? You can't improve if you keep thinking to yourself "I'm doing fine, it's my team that's doing bad not me"

IMO here's a list of likely causes of you losing your lane 1: You got outplayed. 2: The enemy is better at farming and therefore getting more items. 3: Not warding or improper warding. 4: Not keeping who the enemy Jungler is in mind. For example the enemy jungler might be LeeSin, which means he has gap closers so you'll need extra vision. 5: Overextending. Any competent jungler is going to gank you if you're pushed into their tower. Likewise you won't be receiving ganks from your jungler if you're overextended unless Hecarim,Amumu,LeeSin orShaco. 6: Map awareness and not checking for pings, which is my most common mistake) 7: You're playing your counter. 8: You're not playing passive enough. There are going to be times that you need to play passive. Like if I'm playing Garen going against Teemo, than I'm not going to be on him all game. I'm going to at least try to go for minions and try to avoid too many autos from him. 9: Your jungler is not ganking enough. It seems to be a common thing for junglers to camp the top lane.

Well that's about all I can think of. It's midseason in season 7 and you guys are still playing the blame game. I get it, you think your adc is bad, you think your jungler sucks, you think your support is not helping enough, you think that top lane is just a feeding troll and sometimes you might be right, but most times I believe you're wrong for reasons listed above. You should really use these games as learning situations on how you can improve. Think of it like real life sports. Why blame the goal keeper, when you could have done everything to prevent the enemy team from shooting the soccer ball into the goal?
