My behavior, and my story. (Not mad bro.)

TLDR: No matter how good your duo or advice is, people will fail you a good % of the time. You will also be punished for calling out not just bad players...... but I mean the WORST players.

Edited for: Kei143 on a TLDR suggestion. Thanks!

Last season I had the DREAM<! to rank up and through provisionals I found out how good I wasn't in League. I was a pure tryhard and realized very quickly how bad I frequently played in ranked. Win 1 lose 3, win 3 lose 6, etc. I had trouble jumping into league and remember funny things like not knowing I could buy items the first 3 actual bot games I played due to skipping the 2nd tutorial somehow. I tried all positions frequently switching with my main role falling into ADC, because I knew it was the hardest role, this way I could learn positioning, teamwork, how to carry, and more. Jinx was my main and through this I found pretty quickly how much you rely on your team and support as Jinxy. One cc and she's mostly toast, on bad support and it could likely be game, no tank and your just a scardy cat backliner who pokes runs repeat.

Lots has changed since I first played, we all remember how much jungle got buffed, nerfed, rebuffed, nerfed again, etc. Camps changed, items changed, and for once I knew how to play as a team and do things to win I would never have thought of when I first started League. So much has changed yet each changed I knew how to adapt, learned how to counter play items vs tanks and mass dmg burst casters, somehow to outplay when I shouldn't be able to just from a summoner skill play. I knew I should be somewhere around or near Diamond 5 rank at least.

After having two children and a full time job 36-40hrs a week, I made time to play with friends in the AM's on EST times, from 6a-10a before I would just plain pass out. Our team, and I am saying this referring to a two man duo with a best friend of mine, worked so well together pushing at the right times played key turnovers in our losing matches where yes not 1, not not 2, but yes we had 3 bad players in most games and still were somehow able to pull of wins or plain be the boss and destroy so much and come back so much from an already lost game; even if there was no hope we tried to pull the team through on some what I consider remarkable plays.

The downfall;

In a nutshell, and I am being to point here, it seemed to rank us so low we were put with some of the dumbest people I have ever seen. I recall instances where I was doing so well bottom, 6/0/X for example, that most the entire team would separate from lanes and head bottom. Yes I mean 3-4 players would head bottom just to try and stop me from taking it. I told my team during those times not to come help, "just push your lanes until I call MIAS and head back to base or back to turret" i said, .... Yes I would go to say now 3/4 times or so when I stated this case top, mid, and jungler would all come bottom to help me. I would kick and scream like a child yes, but for good reason I thought. Why in the world would you give away two turrets that are free and possibly more.

Players in the community considerably lowered my average win ratio to an all new low this season, it's like they don't want to win or even care. I tell them if you don't want to team, win, listen, support, or w/e, then just get out of ranked. I don't find this to be rude at all it's just fact, and if you truly are this way and continue to be I find it helpful to call these players out to prevent them from killing someone else's game too. Bad supports who build APC, only burst to ks, have no support items and try to kill tank minions, and yes this is a combo in one. Junglers who jungle all game, and that's all. MIA tanks. Mid mages that never use abilities. These things just kill games and I can only give so much advice before I rage at people like this.

Now I have currently been promoted twice IRL, I have been banned in a game where Jax would try to 5v1, support was full APC and stole tanks with no sup items, warded after I told her not to, tried to burst just for ks reasons, stunned backliners all game with a frontline vayne on me all game. A top feed garen who was basically prime rib to the enemy team. AND ONE GOOD PLAYER A JHIN, who did try to help the team ALOT and he was a great player. I was banned 14 games after they all reported me for basically just calling the Lux out on her bullshit as a bottom "SUPPORT" role with a full APC build and no sense to team at all, even with all the burst I do not recall her ever landing a combo unless it was to ks. 5min in I was so behind from HER, not the other team I called the game, but still tried to win.

Now I have currently been promoted twice IRL, after the ban I have realized this game is no fun anymore. I work 8hrs a day 5 days a week and 12hrs sat sun. I have no time to try hard anymore and argue with ding-a-lings on why you should do this and that, or how to use a skill combo for most burst, or in a way where they never get away and always dies or blah blah blah. It's just not worth it this season at all, for some odd reason the fun is just gone and the way rankings sit are just weird and wrong too.

Actually sad, but through this I have learned a great lesson for myself. Why play a game where you have to try to FIX people to have a better experience. I don't like this thought at all. I have since yet reverted to a time where I search for games that just allow you to be immersed in a great story and HD quality artwork. The thought that goes into some of these games are beautiful in an artists mind, or a very well thought out plan. You can just chill solo, or team with 2-8 players and actually have fun win/lose. Like I actually feel like it RIOT had a placement test on serious game Q's on what to do in certain situations it would end in a result that would place people in X IQ bracket with ppl they can understand.... or something I am too tired to explain this.

I am in no way mad at all, just came to certain end conclusions based on experience and feel the need to share my story.

Thank you for reading and I wish you all great games and a good day!

I do not see chat logs and therefore, am not interested in this person's long, rambling story.

If you really wanted to make a point, you'd present us with your chat-logs.

Then do not post or read..... simple. I really don't care for rude comments like this either. Oh and let me DIG UP all those saved chat logs that League saves in a separate folder for me......

By not reading I think you've missed the point of the post; it's not about his ban. It's a complaint that he feels that players don't play the game properly and don't bother trying to win anymore, and that he feels like the game in its current state is more about babysitting than it is about playing a game.

That being said, I don't really believe that his macro game was head and shoulders above the rest of the team's as he believes. If he knows for a fact that a 2v3 or 2v4 is headed to his lane and tells his team not to help, that in itself is a macro mistake because he's choosing to sacrifice a huge potential advantage in exchange for the possibility of some uncontested lane pushing. It's also a gameplay mistake because he gets himself caught in 2v3 or 2v4 situations and relies soley on mechanics to float himself through.

It's very easy to hold off a 4v2 or 3v1 bottom if you know how to play and use the turret, and if you have both summoner spells up and are smart on at least knowing who has the potential to cc or murder faces and play right then they might get a bot turret but you should get 1-2 mid and top with that kind of aggro on bottom.

That is a good point, in the furture I will. Thanks for your comments. Also your comments on most of the posts you ever create to me are considered toxic and childish, GOOD DAY SIR!
