How players could be in a losing game, and then flame their teammates with stuff like:

  • "this [insert teammate's role here], though" or

  • "always trash teammates" or

  • "I win every game til I get kids like you on my team" or

  • (my personal favorite) "no wonder you're so bad at this game. you're silver. i should have known."

All the while, the game they are in, during all of this, is a normal game. Not ranked. Normal.

It baffles me that they mention how they "win all their games", yet immediately afterward say, "i lose every game i've had kids like you in them"

It's almost like these players can't stand the idea that it's inevitable that you'd lose games. It's almost like they believe they're entitled to a victory just because "their rank has earned them that right."

And what baffles me more than that is the idea that they seem to forget that they were once unranked. Like, they forget that there was a time where THEY were once the new player who had no idea what they were doing. That THEY were once the one not knowing jungle routes, and vision options and the like. That THEY were once in the same elo as the players they now harass.

Seriously, is it even possible for these players to give actual advice to their teammates? Is there no possibility of these players actually fixing 'the problem' rather than make it worse?

Honestly, most times I would agree with you. But Im the exception. What baffles me is how consistently terrible my teams are and that no matter what I do its not poasible to carry them. Even if im 21/4.

Do most people say this stuff as an excuse. Yes. Does it mean there isnt truth to it? No.

This baffles me too. I try hard af when I queue for ranked, but Normals are for experimenting, practicing, or just fucking around with friends who might be in a much higher or lower ELO.

I find it rather odd too, but people tend to get pretty upset over the phrase "its just a normal".
