Excuses.

As I play more and more on this Rift I see a nice assortment of player personalities from around the world, and it's great. What's not very great is the amount of people that use "Hey this is norms" Or "Teambuilder" excuses for playing bad. No, i'm sorry but no matter the queue, no matter the ranking you should not be playing like you are back on your first week on LoL. If you sit there and do nothing, feed lane or are just an all around bad sport or team player there is no excuse. You are just bad or need to improve by playing BOT matches when you're learning a champ. Please stop going online with your book of excuses when you get killed by jungle creeps (just one example of my team members today.)

Thank you.

You learn nothing but bad habits from playing bots. I learned that the hard way. Bots are only helpful for people brand new to the game, or when you are playing a champion for literally the first few times.

It's such a shame that not everyone can play with your mad skillz. Maybe raise your ELO so you stop getting stuck with trash players? =)

Also, I was under the distinct impression that Teambuilder was made for learning new champions and roles in a PvP setting. That's why it takes your time spent playing a role or champ into consideration when match making?

Try helping instead of QQing. "hey man, I noticed you did _____ and got killed/didn't work Maybe try doing ______ instead next time?" Or "Hey, Why did you get _______ item? ______ item would probably be much more useful for you in this situation because _______." No, it's not your responsibility to educate everyone you play with who's not at your skill level, but helping people with a not crummy attitude yourself might just help you notch up a few more victories. Keeping team morale up even during a rough game can infinitely help your teams chances for victory.

You are commenting with the assumption I have not tried doing just that. For a good 15-20 minutes I will try to hammer out the problems with a good attitude and a smile, but there comes a time when a little bit of salt is necessary for a game to turn delicious.

A "bit of salt" is never necessary. And from what I see, you didn't have a very positive attitude. Just think before you insult someone, many they are new, many they are having a terrible day irl, and it would make it even worse for them.

Hello Shen!!! I was hoping to see you here.

Now, yes, that Shaco was map blind. Got me killed early because I went to save him and he sacrificed me to run away. I was particularly unhappy with that. I didn't do so well, getting caught out by Diana several times.

Regardless, there was a notable downplay in my performance because you WOULD. NOT. STOP. RUNNING. YOUR. MOUTH.

I don't need your constant stream of 'I'm done' 'ur trash' or even your backseat coaching. We had a bad game. You legitimately made it worse. You didn't even buy a trinket against the all assassin team.

So do yourself a favor before you start racking up punishments. Keep your opinions to yourself. Keep it civil. And keep quiet.

Wow, I love that you even followed me to the website to talk more. First of all let's give the people a little more to the story there buddy on the entire game and what happened. What your trying to say doesn't change my opinion on anything with the way that they played that match. Like I said below, people can only take so much until they rage a bit. Now, what i'm telling you now is something I surprise a lot of people with. There's a thing called a mute button in-game that allows you to stop hearing someone rage and it helps a lot. Most of that match I was trying quite hard to be civil about it all even trying to be a nice guy but I can only take so much. This isn't some elementary school event where everyone gets a trophy for effort. Not everyone deserves a golden star, and I sure as hell don't either but at least I can admit it.

OP seems to be very in the wrong here. He sounds toxic and exactly the kind of player who makes games painful. From the way he sounds, I would DEFIDENTLY expect a constant stream of abuse after mistakes. And bot practice is worthless for even slightly experienced payers.

Also, are you saying the first time you get a champion, you pentakill and carry hard? I somehow doubt it. We all have had trouble learning new champs, you included, and I bet you wouldn't want to be flamed constantly when you do bad either.

No no, you started at 10. (Dating? My tablet is weird?)

I've been posting here a solid week now, nice try.

Elementary school event, yea, there's that hallmark. I was nice. I managed to hold my tongue the entire game about the negative toxic Shen spamming party chat.
