Anyone else harrassed for making a GOOD build?

I'm not talking about those experimental, 1 time builds you have no experience with. I mean you spend as many matches as necessary OUTSIDE OF RANKED to make it work, even down to starting items. You change your gameplay style with that champ. You carry your weight, and then some of your teammates. Even that one guy always noobing a champ. You when matches. You get level 3 mastery and above...

... AND THEN you run into a narcissistic "I know everything about the game" who just happens to main your champ, who goes "wtf? what is that build?" Me: "A custom one" (just about what I said) Him: "He's not a magic type, he's jgl and physical" (has no idea how effective my items are, AND is dying too much to tell me how to main my champ) -I main ww Me: I main ww, shut it. (Lvl 5 mastery) It's DESIGNED to not be the "I know how to counter that build" , that YOU use. (my gameplay was near-solid until THE WHOLE TEAM started dying.) Another teammate: Caitlyn: Yep, ww has the worst build (has over twice as many deaths than kills, and more deaths than me for that matter.

Or something along these lines? Anyway, our entire team was losing because of a FED Ashe, and one of our team was using Twitch in "dangerous ways", as in it-would-be-inting-if-he-missed-2-kills dangerous. His build was legit. He died more than me, and they IGNORED THAT to harass me; 3 of them. I jgl'd with ww properly, I got the herald, I backed them up... but they were just adhesive and dropped it on me.

I spent so much time developing a COUNTER-PROOF build, that they didn't even know what to tell me to remove. It was MADE for when someone couldn't get "blade of the ruined king", or "Black cleaver", or "Titanic hydra" because of misfortune. That's how stupid it was. They couldn't call out a single thing I did wrong, because I wasn't. They just decided to harass me because they didn't want to admit that they were ALSO the reason we were losing. I reported everyone BUT Twitch that game. Does anyone else experience this nonsense?

Riot doesn't help by posting the BASIC "This'll work" builds online for everyone to build counters to. I had to use this build because I know everyone would counter ww, and I've SLAYNE other WW's with it. Sue me for being original.

In this case, don't take flame as a negative, take it as a positive. If your teammates are so unhappy with your build to the point of flaming you, then perhaps you should listen and build more optimally. If you were building correctly then your teammates wouldn't be so upset.

But of course if you still want to take flame negatively you can ignore or mute them

I meeean.. im no expert, but your build should change every game. You should be building for the circumstance. Countering what the enemy has. But again, I'm just a silver scrub so Ill just leave it at that. Ive never been harassed about my builds as I don't experiment much. I do know that people look for anything to blame a loss on so thats probably the main issue. Just people being childish.

Edit: looking at your match history, I don't like your build, but I also dont know all that much about WW so I cant really criticize it lol. Do you sell your jungle item most of the time? Is that just a late game thing? Just wondering.

There was a time when a significant amount of players was completely convinced that spellvamp didn't work for physical damage. And back then gunblade was pretty much worth it even without having absolutely any use for the AP, making it a really good choice on a lot of AD casters.

So, in short: Yes.

doesn´t matter if it´s good or not. The problem is that it´s different.

The point of league is simply to flame people and be as toxic as possible.

as long as you're still trying to win, aren't griefing, and aren't intentionally feeding, building (practically) any item on any champion is allowed

You are not alone. I like to build items like Frozen Heart and Abyssal Mask on Morde and can put money down that at least every other game someone will lose their shit because he doesn't have mana usage. Its just something else to mute them over so you can focus on your own game.

I have noticed drastically less harassment about my build on Taric recently. It seemed like I used to have my tear rush spam pinged in about half of my games but almost nobody does that anymore. This could be since they introduced the mastery view in loading screen when they see how much I play him and have just stopped questioning what I do on him now.

Also, I just played against an AP Warwick mid. His damage late game was insane. His Q + Lichbane did 1500 damage to me.

Theres a reason there are most built items on champions, because high elo players experiment and realize what the best synergies are with a certain champion's strengths and weaknesses. You only put yourself and your team at a disadvantage EVEN if you win when you could of done better. Its not reportable, but people who build literally anything they want just cause they think it works better often just put themselves down as I said.

Also, theres a core build on majority of champions, but that doesn't mean you should build exactly that. It depends on the enemy's team composition and sometimes your own.

Nowadays players are more concerned about their builds, or teammate's builds, then with their knowledge of the game itself. Fair to say builds are important aspects of the game, but if you play really well, then the build doesn't really matter. You have to read the game, and know what to do and when to do it. If you build tanky, play as a tank. If you build burst, don't play like a tank. GG ez

Well, to start. As long as you're not flaming or inting, you'll never get banned. Just ignore their flames.

On the other hand. based on your match history, and I mean nothing bad with this. You're obviously newer to the game? Their is reasons why core builds are as they are. There are many different ways to play some champions but just shoving items on a champion, WW in this case isn't always the best.

It's cool to see you trying all sorts of builds, but last game you didn't even build a jungle item. You bought the Machete then sold it back at 11 min (Your 1st back). This has awful side effects, such as not getting full XP off your camps, while also being out on the Rift for 9mins without backing isn't the best for a jungler, you want to upgrade your items jungle item/get the side item and boots. Boots allow you to move from camp to camp or for ganks faster but the upgrade to your jg item gives you more xp/damage to clear jungle camps faster thus faster xp and more gank chances.

Back to the builds themselves. There are many ways to build champs like WW, depending on your playstyle and the comps in the game, but some builds outside of "for fun" games are just to sub optimal.

You seem to really like the item item 3101 ...building multipal of this item is pretty redundant, you'd be better off fully upgrading into Tri/Nashors (You seem to like AS DPS builds so Nashors with Witts would prolly be a fun build for you to try)

WW is a fun champ because he ultimately does have a lot of funny cheesy builds, but most of them are just that, fun and cheesy. You'll learn though as you continue to climb up the MMR later players are going to expect you to know how to not only play your champion but how to build them for the current game, and you should want to know how to optimally play and build your champion. It makes the game fun when you're dominating.
