What is your objective when you enter a solo queue?

I left LOL for a few months to play Apex and after coming back, I see things much clearer than before when I was playing only LOL. The players mentality in Apex is so much more different than LOL. It's like they join a match, and their sole purpose is to help the team, play with the team, and win with the team. Even if it's a loss, it was still a good game.

After coming back to LOL, I notice how much better I play because my focus is on helping the team. As I continue to play, I see my skill gradually go down because of some players just aren't in there to "work" with me, like they just do their own thing. I would ping OTW to gank, and my laner would just sit there. I leave bot side jungle and ping bot to be careful, they shove to turret and get ganked.

Simply put, it seems like a lot of LOL players join solo queue and tunnel vision into their own mind and plays. Ironically, they blame others for making bad plays.

So if your objective in a solo queue is to not work with your team, and rather be toxic and blaming, why do you even play this game? Your sole object should be "Okay we're in this together, let's work together and try to win". If the team team is urging to you group, you should group, or else, why are you in this match with them?

Anyways, a lot of LOL players need to stop playing LOL and play other games. You'd be surprised at how much more clearer the view is when you come back.

I try and go in to win. Unfortunately most of my teams are only interested in fighting over who has "more kills than u". I can bust my ass as support to keep them alive and still get told how "fucking useless" I am as support. Why? because I am not 18/2 like them. Then when I suggest going for towers I get told how "fucking stupid" I am because I want to focus objectives and WIN over sitting around farming 30+ kills to have a nice pretty kda while losing the match.

Then they go around bragging baout how hard they are "Carrying this trash team" with all those kills but 0 towers. I have said it before. This community doesnt want a TEAM when they solo queue, they want thier own personal CHEERLEADING SECTION. They want people who will sit there and pat them on the ass and tell them how "Totally OP broken" they are. So they insist on 1v4ing and trying to "solo" the entire game

If you want a 1v1, Get the ever-loving FUCK OFF OF A 5v5. uninstall and fuck off back to CoD or Halo.

Help the team? Play with the team? Ah hell no. Fuck that. SoloQ is filled with inters, trolls, ragers, shitheads and noobs. They are not worthy of being my equal. I play SoloQ so I can go 22-2 and hard carry these feeding trash cans while they provide a distraction to the enemy team. My team mates aren't there to work together with me as equals. They are there to serve me by being a distraction through doing various annoying but useless things so I can hard carry and win the game by myself. Take that Kumbaya, "lets work together" stuff back to Apex, this is League bro.

Why do you think that is?

After coming back to LOL, I notice how much better I play because my focus is on helping the team. As I continue to play, I see my skill gradually go down because of some players just aren't in there to "work" with me, like they just do their own thing. I would ping OTW to gank, and my laner would just sit there. I leave bot side jungle and ping bot to be careful, they shove to turret and get ganked.

Different people prioritize different things. There's been plenty of times a jungler comes to gank when there's a full 2 1/2 waves at my turret. I don't want to give up a lot of that cs/exp to contribute to a gank especially if it has a low chance of working.

Simply put, it seems like a lot of LOL players join solo queue and tunnel vision into their own mind and plays. Ironically, they blame others for making bad plays.

Everybody is playing bad unless you're like challenger...even then they make mistakes.

So if your objective in a solo queue is to not work with your team, and rather be toxic and blaming, why do you even play this game? Your sole object should be "Okay we're in this together, let's work together and try to win". If the team team is urging to you group, you should group, or else, why are you in this match with them?

A lot of times the people crying to group don't understand the win conditions of the composition. I'm not grouping if I'm playing Tryndamere top lane. I'm taking towers in a split push setting in majority of games. I don't even play top lane that much but that gives you some insight on how a top laner probably thinks about those situations.

I stopped playing summoner's rift for the most part. TFT is much more entertaining for me.

Anyways, a lot of LOL players need to stop playing LOL and play other games. You'd be surprised at how much more clearer the view is when you come back.

Perhaps this would work for a lot of players. I think my view is pretty clear.
