How much is enough? Buff teammates pls
Hi Riot, I'm ready for another notice telling me you deleted this post and here's a link to the original discussion and please post it in this other random section because blah, blah, blah. In case you were wondering, I can be the model of respect and teamwork. I can also be a bit toxic and salty. I strive for the former, but it gets a bit hard when I'm placed with horrible toxic teammates game after game who clearly are either intentionally making the game unwinnable for my team or who clearly have no skill to be playing anywhere near the same level of ranked as me. A game here or there, I understand. Everyone has a bad game now and again. Everyone has teammates who play poorly now and again. But having 6+ games in a row of literally unwinnable games despite being a model team player as much as humanly possible is a bit much.
When someone dies 1 time, I don't harass them. When someone dies 2 times early and starts tilting/feeding, I offer helpful advice, I warn them of danger, I tp to save them if possible. I get on their case only if they keep making the same mistake over and over and over and over and over and over and over and... you get how many times they are needlessly dying from the same stupid mistake they've been told how to correct 7 times by me and other teammates yet refuse to learn? When they refuse 5v5's but will flash in to force 3v5's 1 min later. These people either have no intelligence to have earned their spot playing in a game at my rank or they are intentionally losing the game. Either way, this is not the summoner's spirit you wish players to display towards both opponents and teammates. I may be silver and therefore "know nothing" in many people's eyes, but they are wrong to make that judgement. I've watched pro and challenger ranked streamers making the same mistakes, the same outplays, or even playing a champ worse than me. Given their competition is stronger, but they are supposed to have better skill than me too. I've watched pro's and former pro's excuse a mediocre performance on tilting from being camped and faced tougher more persistent camping while coming out further ahead. I'm not trying to say I should be in diamond or challenger -- I know I'm not that good. But I do expect to be given a FAIR chance to win each match -- not face 6, 7, ... 9 matches in a row over a span of DAYS where every one is unwinnable thanks to 1-4 teammates like the ones I described above.
For example: In a recent match, I was unable to save my jungler from a 2v1 invade lvl 3. I warned him it was coming, but he engaged into them without waiting for me to collapse and make it a 2v2. My lane opponent riven (who should naturally go even or beat me -- i thought i was against yasuo when I locked in nocturne top) was donated a kill and a red buff. Despite this and both dueling with equal hp and all spells available I defeated her even with her using ignite and having red buff. I proceeded to gain a 2 or 3 kill advantage top -- without any help from my teammates. During all this, I continued encouraging and warning (smart pings) teammates who were losing lanes or going even at best. Seeing that we would lose if I didn't take my lead and help other lanes, I roamed to bot and mid throughout the laning phase, but got no help from these teammates when I ganked their lanes. Despite multiple pings targeting their opponents, I'd find myself 1v1, 1v2, or 1v3 while they sat back doing nothing. In teamfights, I'd tank 4 people, the entire cc chain of the enemy team, and get a carry to half hp while my team sat there watching or ran away instead of fighting when we could easily have won the teamfight. I could go on, but I feel this gives a good picture of the skill level of my teammates.
My question is what did I do to deserve 3 straight days of every game being stuck with people like this on my team and not one enemy player in any of the games being even close to that bad? How do I get put in games like that, or games where it's just one person intentionally sucking that much and everyone on the team reporting them and not one of the intentional feeder/trolls gets punished? I get informed when a toxic player types horrible things about my mother or racist comments gets banned due to me reporting them. So why does someone who intentionally sabotages his teammates game and does everything in his power to make the game miserable for them get a free pass? And why is this person(s) on my team 10000000% more than they are on the enemy team? You may delete this post as you have all my other similar posts, but I'd really like an answer for once. Thanks.
Sincerely, jedi89
