How do you not afk when your teams don't want to win or are toxic in ranked silver?

I lose all motivation to play the game when my team just doesn't want to win. In casual i understand, you can dick around, go enemy jungle etc..

When I play ranked, I want to push the edge of what I can do when I play, but I never really lose games because of my mistakes. Sure there is like 5-15% of games, where I just get outplayed and make mistakes, but the other 35% of games is just stupid/toxic teams.

They farm instead of killing enemies, even after you said in chat, that 2 people toplaner split pushing is an easy kill (and you have confirmed vision that there is noone else nearby), or 2 people in your jungle solo (and you have confirmed vision that there is noone else nearby) and you pinged a few times. You should gank them, get the easy gold and the free push, but they "farm" instead.

They don't even try to gank, they farm and die, farm and die or "group mid" and suicide 5v5 into another team that is way ahead/has better grouping/better champs or whatever. If you tell them that you can still win by not suiciding mid in a suicide pact and instead get vision and gank people that are not as 5, they mute you or are saying they will report you for trolling.

How are you supposed to enjoy the game this way?

And muting doesn't help. Because you can't do anything in this game alone. You still lose, you can't even farm a single lane or jungle, if the enemies have vision everywhere and constantly group as 5 to gank.

Yeah, you can join them while they farm so they are not solo, but then you are 5 people bot while enemies kill mid for free or you die 20 seconds later to a 5 man gank from behind the wall because you can't have vision of the whole pushing area from start to finish.

Pretend you are one of those teammates you dont like and split push a side lane all game long.

If nothing else, play for the sweet satisfaction of getting to the end of game screen and that lovely report button.

It sucks when people troll or flame, but arguing with them won't fix what's already done. If the game is already a losing game then there's no point taking frustration out on people for it. They literally can't change the outcome anyways, and flaming them for it, or simply quitting the game will only make things worse.

In my mind, even a losing game is an opportunity to practice skills. I take losing games as an opportunity to learn how to play better from behind. Farm safer, use map awareness and pressure to out-rotate opponents, and who knows? Every once in a while I eke out a win from a game that seemed lost.

It's just not worth it to get worked up over something a fellow player does, it won't solve anything and it just raises your blood pressure. Plus treating them nicely ahead of time before things go south sometimes makes all the difference in the world, and they listen when I tell them to do something differently.

Nothing casual about any mode in a win-lose team setting.

"Casual Players" made that rule not RIOT and they think that everyone should think like they do.

There is a computer in most households these days which means you will have alot of these type of players attempting to play the game and failing miserably and continue to do so without repercussions because they spend money, alot of money.

They will never learn how to play and they are too lazy to consume the plethora of content how to play.

It is the world we live in today and to play you have to deal with the piles of bad players out there who just don't care.

Blame that cancer called capitalism. Developers thrive on the multitudes of bad players.

Why do you think RIOT hired Ghostcrawler? He's an expert on taking advantage of the "casual player" and ruining the game itself in the process. In turn, he will make RIOT a ton of money with his meddling and then after he ruins the game to the point that it's not the cash cow it once was, he will move on and ruin another one. See WOW.

Anyone can disagree all they want. I could care less.

Split push

Play trynamere and solo carry. That champion is the only champion in the game besides Yi that can 1v5. Literally. On top of that, you can take tower in .5 seconds. Not even joking. I understand this because Im silver myself, and have to deal with these type of people. Play solo carry champs, and one day we'll both be gold or plat friend :)

You know. I thought you were talking about Diamond until I read the silver part. Stay in silver dude, its better than going higher. Somehow this situation gets worse the higher you go.

If your team wants to make you suffer make them suffer. Taking tear of the goddess and running it down mid I mean why should you stay in this miserable game when you can have a little fun by running into their base. I mean it to losing game anyway so that's what they get for queuing up

If that's the way you give out advice then it's not surprising they mute you.

Because doing so will make the despair cults "win". Win in this case is just another step in perpetuating human suffering unto infinity.

I don't. I just afk or whatever. Yeah, I'll get thrown into low priority queue, but whatever, I'll play some Hearthstone or some other thing while I wait. Currently writing this post and my 20 min LPQ popped.
