Teammates Gamthrowing because of my "Unusual" Pick!

IbnBattuta·6/24/2017, 6:03:22 AM·4 votes·591 views

I know RIOT won't ban me for usual picks even if some people reported me for feeding, trolling or stuff since I'm playing serious, not flaming and not intentionally feeding.

My first case of this kind of gamethrowing was when I was playing Camille as Support, I made Camille permanent from a champion shard and liked her playstyle but I sucks in playing in top and because I know tanks can be support, I tried to discover her Support potential and I was right when I picked her.

After I mastered her skills and playstyle, I started playing her in Normal and Ranked games but most of the times, I find ADCs who are upset because of my pick and thinks I'm trolling and even when I explain to them my pick, they wither insult me, saying they gonna report me for troll, feed enemy team intentionally or abandon me in teamfights to make me actually feed enemy team.

That's being said I got bored from having to explain myself in every game I play when I've Mastery 6 with her so rather than continuously explain myself, I got myself in a trouble of making a guide mainly explaining Camille's role as Support and making it as good as I can and my plan succeded and my guide have more than 80K views on Mobafire and actually helped making players less annoyed by my pick and acknowledge Camille as a META Support and you can find my guide to Camille on this link: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/ibnbattutas-guide-to-camille-blood-moon-included-499967

So what this have to do with anything? Answer: AD Twisted Fate JUNGLE

Ok so you think I'm trolling as well? A challenger friend of mine told me about champions which I can climb ranked ladders with and told me that ADC Twisted Fate is one of them but told me to not play him in low elo since not everyone gonna take me seriously and understand my pick but despite that I tried him and he was AWESOME!

My main role was ADC and I rarely carry in early or late game but when I play AD Twisted Fate, I carried more than 50% of my games as long we reach Late Game without anyone surrender and I become the reason of victory for my teammates but problem is that when I lose a game because we didn't reach Late or Mid game, Players start flamming me more and report me for trolling when I did all my best, It's not like we have 100% winrate, 50% is the average winrate for most League players.

Despite me liking TF as ADC, I tried to find more potential for him in Jungle and I succeed and maximized his damage and tested the outcome and played him in normal game till I mastered him in the Jungle and I started heading to Ranked Games with him.

Surprisingly, I won 7 games straight with him in ranked (in bronze V) when I always had times struggling to climb up duo to the high amount of trolls and people who tries champions in ranked considering it a Normal Draft, so when I reached my promo, I continued playing as serious as ever but 3 players in my team didn't like my pick and they fed the enemy team and started accusing me for their lose when I tried my best to help them, they didn't like TF so they actually went feeding enemy team intentionally and blame me and reported me for trolling which made me very upset about my first promo game ever.

What happened in the past was in the past, So I played my second game in promo, Players didn't like my pick and said that I'm trolling and same scenario happened again but this time despite them feeding enemy team, I was able to outmatch enemy team and I started to carry and was able to almost solo each one of the enemy team and when Late Game was reached and we LITERALLY winning, a player was killed by enemy team said he won't continue the game initiated surrender and others did so as him and we lost a winning game and they started reporting me saying I'm the reason when I was making them actually win.

So what the purpose of all what I wrote till now? Player in LoL consider unusual picks as Taboo and part of being a troll when some of us serious in playing them, I know some picks are impossible obviously a troll-pick like ADC Soraka, Top Janna or ADC Katarina but that doesn't mean that every unusual pick is a troll-pick.

What I'm asking for is to teach players about unusual picks and teach them the difference between obviously troll picks and possible to win picks so I'm gonna make a suggestion.

I don't vote in polls.

Riot does not want to limit your freedom in any way, that is why they took so long testing and everything for the new draft pick system. They will never tell you who you are allowed to play where.

You play Camile support in my ranked game and I will absolutely, 100 percent report you each and every time for it.

I read your post, you're not stupid---in fact, you seem like a smart person. With that being said, you know exactly what you're doing. You know that Camile isn't a support champion and offers absolutely nothing supportive other than her ult.

The report would have more to do with lack of communication with the team than it would with the pick itself.

As long your intent is to win the game, you can play whatever champion in whatever role you want. Doesn't matter if you get reported for it or not, Riot won't ban you just for your champion pick.

Its a team game sometimes gotta go with the flow and the forced meta, especially in ranked. They are throwing because they don't want to play with you. It sucks but nothing much you can do about it other than report them for bad attitude/ giving up.
