Why I enjoy playing with trolls and to an extent feeders.

" But, Teemo you're a troll! Why should I listen to you and your rants I deserve challenjour~"

The games really made people feel entitled to lanes and climbing, like wow, but it's that need to win above everything that destroys friendships and why we play. Trolls will do stupid things like poppy ult the enemy team to save them from an ezreal ultimate. Or dancing well you gank their lane. They aren't playing to "win" they are playing of their own enjoyment their own accord (poppy joke) Players rage, but sadly the trolls are a minority within the game.

You used to just play 10 rank games and get the champ skin. With those ranks forcing people to play this starts the effect of the feeders. No I'm not talking of the people that go in 0/20 every rank game. I'm talking of the people that play to have fun, but they have trouble climbing. They have reached their limit as a player currently they haven't figured how to get better. Though he here's his friend who finally got to gold after 300 games brag of how he did it playing Ekko and Jayce Like a body builder to steroids they instead of learning map awareness don't with an ult reset and knock backs from jayce they don't think as much of improvement they boost themselves into an elo that they do not belong, thus the flames begin and their bodies are scorched the flame spreads and devours their pride their honor they no longer are the person they formerly were they become the hatred.

However they may play champions like maokai instead. Learning the importance of being a tank (maybe not anymore idk) and learn team cooperation the trollyness of killing people with their plants. They learn to love the game and even if they feed they know they are improving well they have fun.

The important part is that these players teach you to improve yourself, not to take shortcuts, but to enjoy. Anger and frustration harm your map awareness and depression feeds on itself. These are real people each showing their own mind set.

There are plenty of figures that were in the community that really stood for having fun. SsethTzeentach, Solwolf, Aigey, Athene, Sivhd.

Which yea Athene even had item 3174 named after him with 10,000 referrals Back in the day which was pretty huge well being a Teemo Support.
Its these trolls that create a community in league, You may get hated for, but they are the ones that make friends and end up playing with others smiling and talking, so if you can look past their bad play, and hold out your hand maybe you can find a whole new side of league.

You're just speaking like a casual lol. That sounds harsh but hear me out.

If I'm playing to win, then winning is fun. That's just the competitive nature of games. Losing is fine as long as its still a good game or I learned something. I like losing in the right way, any competitive person in anything would.

If someone on my team is trolling then playing how I wanted to isn't fun because I literally just can't play. They aren't trolling for their own amusement 99% of the time in ranked. They're doing it out of spite because a teammate said something that hurt their feelings. I don't type in ranked and I often mute my team because of how easy it is for a 'troll' to become spiteful and throw the game. I often don't want to read what they have to say.

Playing teemo support is one thing, people can climb and have fun with that. I can play something like caitlyn mid, but I'm still going to try to win. Dancing when I'm ganking their lane should just be unacceptable. If I play jungle and all my lanes just dance when I gank them, then I just wouldn't want to play because it wouldn't be fun to have my actions wasted.

If your friend got to gold playing ekko and jayce, then that probably means he got decent at laning with them and punishing mistakes. Map awareness isn't everything. I can't see how you could say a player that got to gold after 300 games doesn't deserve it. The skillset required to climb with those two champs are different than maokai. A person playing maokai doesn't need to worry as much about the laning phase and damage foresight like an ekko or jayce would. Mastering the mechanics alone on these two champs are their own task. You don't really need that for maokai. Playing a carry and playing a tank are just two different skillsets.

I can't diss a person who got to a certain elo with just mechanics or just knowledge, they got there themselves and they've earned it.

2/3 of my friendlist are aram trolls, 1/3 are irl friends. The best kind of games are those where you troll and still win. I always troll in aram and manage to have a ~53% w/r? Over about 1.5k games. I've played the majority premade with these kind of trolls. It's much funnier than the SR tryhard ambience.
