If Someone Suggests For You To Get An Item

Best Ekko NA·8/18/2017, 2:42:06 PM·29 votes·1,194 views

You know, like a Sweeper, Sight Stone, Mortal Reminder, or Black Cleaver, for the love of League of Legends... JUST DO IT.

More than one person can carry a game, just because it's not YOUR optimal item (or you just happen to think it isn't cough AP supports cough) doesn't mean it's not benefiting your team. No one suggests something like that because they want to lose a game, so stop giving an asshole reply about how you know what you are doing. They aren't questioning if you know what you are doing or not, they're trying to recommend something that can help YOUR TEAM win the game. DO YOU WANT TO WIN THE GAME?

Even if you think the way they said it was rude, they probably are just having a hard time, that doesn't mean what they are saying holds any less validity. When enemy Swain is destroying your Top laner, and he suggests a Morello's item 3165 to your Mid HELP HIM OUT DUDE. Don't sit there and ignore him, /mute him, or blatantly tell him he's a feeding noob who doesn't know what he's doing, RESPECT YOUR TEAMMATE. If he's losing, the odds are he can't afford to dump gold into something to help him.

When you're Bot getting stomped by that enemy Soraka's healing and your Support suggests for you to grab an executioners item 3123, BUY THAT SHIT MAN. They're suggesting it because it's a problem. Don't be disillusion, don't tell your support to STFU, they want to win the game just as much as you do.

Stop thinking everyone is shit and that you have all the answers. Unless you are Challenger and in the Top 50 players, there's a 100% chance that you definitely fucking don't have all the answers. You don't need to to trust your teammates, but show some respect and understand that sometimes your team is seeing things that you aren't. You aren't playing every lane on the map, and sometimes problems branch out farther than your lane on the map. Your teammate is taking the time to communicate with you about their concerns, they're actively trying to work as a team by suggesting something, so next time take the initiative and respect your teammates request or explain to them why you can't do it (without telling them that they're fucking stupid and don't know how to play your champion).

I have witnessed way too many stupid requests to take anyones "suggestion" seriously.

So I can suggest that our top Wukong rushes deathcap and they have to do it? Cool.

You worded this too poorly and then made a fair statement at the end.

Yes, we should communicate our requests and intentions politely.

No, we should not bend to the will of our team.

Take the time to consider your teammates request, even if it was worded as a command or rudely.

Be MATURE and be HUMBLE is pretty much your statement. You just ranted so it got completely masked by everything that's not your last paragraph.

"Hey Lucian can you grab a mortal reminder for Nasus?"

Luc:" But it's not recommended."

This actually happened a few months ago.

He never bought one... we lost, and I think this is one of the reasons why.

Oh and a simaler thing happend with a Yasuo I had as he pointed out his ult gives armor pen. Didn't even care about the grievous wounds

I think part of the reason why people don't take the suggestion sometimes, is they know it's better, but they're working on some other item and abandoning finishing that item to start on morellos just seems so far off. They realize they fucked up, and starting a morellos NOW seems like it will be so long till it's finished and they re gonna be weak until it's finished (due to abandoning the item they re working towards) so they just tell them to shut up.

I'll admit, my own ego has done this to me before, infact, it was with a morellos. Idk why, but I knew I should have built morellos and didnt, now someone calls me out on it and I'm just thinking "ugh I know... fuck ...someone called me out on it" hahaha. I didnt tell them to stfu, because im careful about keeping my account from getting banned, but i probably just didnt respond. It was only one time because I normally don't let my ego get in the way. It's a mixture of shame, ego, and just plain being an asshole.

As a Shaco main I can buy any random shit in the game and get away with it. XD Morrelo, Executioners, Knights wow, Sightstone with Black Cleaver. And the thing is that build would actualy more on the serious side, considering we have Protobelt, IE as core build for Pinkward.

Don't be disillusion(al), they want to win the game just as much as you do.

The person who's building their own items also wants to win, as much as you do. If you're in a game together, you're considered approximately the same skillwise as your teammates.

When your team is losing, it's really easy to look out at the rest of the team to 'find' the cause. Someone, somewhere must be making a mistake if we're losing. It can't be me. That attitude really holds people back. If you look at what you can do, you can improve, but as long as you consider yourself perfect, there is no room for improvement.
