Please can we stop doing this so that people that are striving to get out of bronze do. I am not saying that getting out of bronze doesn't require nothing but no trolls. Please just acknowledge this and don't ever do this. Can we maybe get a report in for this guy... he's been doing it plenty of games he gets autofilled support. Edit: We proceeded to lose the game because the Katarina screwed the midlaners lane over as well as fed the enemy team. Troll IGN: MinecraftMom

A bronze player doesn't deserve teammates who pick meta champions or play the role in a meta way. They deserve other bronze quality teammates. None of your teammates are holding you back. Elo boosters exist, people who rapidly climb. Instead of asking others to take responsibility it is instead better to man up. If you want something better, go to the place where better exists. Katarina is not a more offmeta botlane than Quinn is. Nor is she, as a champion incapable of enabling her adc, denying the other and warding the map and doing support things in that environment, especially against Leona twitch. Katarina has roaming synergy with Quinn. And if she took farm, that is a very viable support strategy in bronze, silver, gold and platinum.

You cannot share their name on the boards. It counts as shaming and it is against board rules. If you dont want your post deleted you should remove their name.

I understand your frustration but I highly suggest you black out the names in the picture because it's against forum rules to name and shame.

I also agree that people who say they aren't doing the role they were placed into should be more cooperative and talk to the team to see if anyone wants to try and swap lanes so they can get the lane they want. I think it's unsportsmanlike to just flat out say "not supporting" when they've gotten the role of support through matchmaker. If they didn't want it, they should have gone blind pick.

If they play a non typical support champ in bot lane,, that's not really a big deal IMO. As long as they play to win, I'm fine with people going off meta.
