Why No one Wants to Admit there are Actually Unwinnable Games

I don't get the obsession of people playing this game saying if you lost it is always 100% your fault. There are plenty of games that are lost before you even get one death. If your team gives up 4-5 kills at the very beginning of the game, they're not feeding, they're just severely outmatched and it's game over. It's not that hard to understand especially given how shitty the matchmaking is at lower level. Getting anywhere from unranked to gold in your games is not exactly balanced and of course it's going to seem like people are feeding.

Except it is not. I just had a nice game last night that came back from roughly 7/25 at 20 minutes, and won quite handily.

It is over when some kid gives up and starts running down lane, never before. I have won games with the nexus at 45 HP and all inhibs down.

People seem to not understand that there are early-game and late-game champions, and that winning teams get overconfident and can be tricked. Defending also gives a pretty big advantage in fights, which few players seem to understand.

Be a good sport, not a whining brat.

I mean, I've definitely won games we've started 8 kills down by 12 minutes. It's just uncommon. So there are games that are entirely unwinnable, but it's often REALLY hard to tell them from games that are just going to be really rough.

Personally I see it like huzzygames said in his unranked to diamond series.

20 percent of all games is lost because of you 20 percent of all game is won because of you 60 percent of games is partially up to you

hmm.. I'm not sure about the "no one" comment.

The high ELO climbers always tell others that if you are at your proper ELO, 30% of the games are lost even before champ select is on the way.

Of course, to off set that, there are 30% of the games that are very hard to loose no matter how you throw.

The remaining 40% depends on how you make decisions and that's where you climb.

"Fault" generally isn't as binary as people treat it. The thing is, in most games there is something (or lots of things) that you in particular could have done better to win the game. Are other people making it harder or easier to win games? Of course, but you are not in control of these. And blaming the one thing that you are in control of is simply a better attitude if you want to get better.

Nobody says every specific game you lose is 100% your fault. I think what happens is, they say whatever rank you're stuck in is 100% your fault. As long as you play enough games, you should be able to climb to where you belong. So if you're stuck in bronze with 300 games played, it's your fault. Not your shitty teammates'. They aren't saying each game that you lose is 100% your fault.

i agree with OP. in all the game ive actually tried winning when my team was getting rekt, i won 2 games. 2 out of the hundreds of games i played.

its better to open mid at 10-15 minutes an play another game than waste 35 minutes of ur time for a 1/100 chance to win. and if u win its 100% luck, not skill.

dont listen to those retards like tobias fate saying that you will improve so much more and win so many more games if u dont ff thats complete bullshit.

Yes but there ARE champions who can stall a game to keep it going to the late game so the entire team tries and kill you while everyone else takes objectives and farms. The other team also falls off eventually if they all consist of early game champions

The only time that you can say that it wasnt your fault you lost the game is when you play perfectly, by not playing perfectly there are advantages that you could have had that may have changed the outcome of the game

Maybe this is just me playing so many ARAM games, in which your team might get really poor team vs awesome team, but even so I believe it is each players duty to make the enemy work for their win as hard as they can. Giving up is unacceptable unsportsmanlike behavior. Why do people even play if they just give up if anything little bad happens?

Every game is winnable unless your nexus just exploded. Granted, the chances for that happening might be really low, but even if nothing else works, Bob the God of Internet might cut the internet connection of every enemy player for so long that you win. Anyways, I find the "We lost. GG" attitude unforgivable.

just ran into this my last game i was the 5th man that got randomly matched with a 4 man premade. their choices of champs were noc jungle, mf ap mid, thresh & vayne bot... so we have no reliable cc or tank so i picked maokai... 33 mins in game vayne has 16 deaths and no boots, refused to build them.. we were losing ... and due to stupid ganks by noc he gave gankplank 2 kills and double buffs ( and this GP was fairly decent of a player ) no matter how far behind and how many kills vayne fed the team would not ff. i mean just accept you are beat give credit to the enemy and let it go... playing it out just frustrates everyone and puts people on tilt . if you just end the suffering and move on you have time to play another game where things might go beater.
