Chronic Ranked Toxicity -- Mostly Venting Here
I just lost a game in ranked (Silver V) where 2 of my teammates spent most of the game telling me how bad I am and why did I build this or that first.
"ur bad"
"never build ie first"
I am an ADC main, and have been for a long time. And yet after one death 8 minutes into the game these two players had laser focus on me, spending the rest of the game telling me how supposedly bad I am and that I don't know how to build for ADC.
Mind you, all ADC players are feeling the pain right now, after this most recent patch completely changed things (Infinity Edge - 3700g now, for example).
I am sick and tired of every other game being a roll of the dice as far as getting grouped with toxic players who get completely tilted if your team gives up first blood or loses the first turret. They then focus only on the loss and continue to be demeaning, bringing down the entire team -- which can make everyone play worse.
You can tell who the better players are in these situations. They are the resilient ones who fight back tooth and nail and let go of the losses and focus on winning ONLY -- even when you have lost all your inhibitors and turrets.
I have won games where we lost everything and then still won simply because we stayed in the present moment focusing only on winning. All it takes is an ACE and a baron steal and the tide can change rapidly.
