Losing doesn't always mean your teammates suck

I'm not great at this game. I get that. Lets get that out of the way right now. I'm not ranked, I don't even really care if I get a rank this season. I just play this game for fun, and to challenge myself.

I generally play jungle so there are certain laning habits that I am not great with. I wanted to try out the new Ezreal, and of course he is an ADC, so Bot lane I go. Just finished a match with a Support Thresh. Not the greatest combination in my opinion because I generally think it is best for Ezreal to not have his enemies pulled closer to him.

We were playing against Ashe and Brand. ... Great! .. If you ever want to try and play an oppressive poke comp in the bottom lane, try Ashe and Brand.

They poked the hell out of us because Brand is stupid as a support and Riot doesn't seem to want to do anything about it. Both of them can poke us under tower and there is nothing we can do about it. My E simply doesn't come up often enough for me to dodge the massive ground targeted AOE that Brand places right at my feet, and I don't have the sustain to out heal his passive. So yeah, I'm way down in cs, and Thresh isn't really able to do anything to help.

Meanwhile our Volibear is dealing with a Suicide Sion in the top lane. Because that's another fun little thing someone came up with. ..

Fortunately, ... or unfortunately for the teammates that wanted to ff, .. the enemy team was so bad at ending the game that the game stalled out for way too long.

But still, we get the inevitable "Report Ez for feeding" comments (Tied for fourth least deaths on both teams btw) .

They simply had a better composition and strategy.

Other games, the enemy might just be more skilled. This was a Normals match, so there is a chance they might have a higher average rank than our team.

And even in Ranked, it should be more even, but often people are more skilled than their rank suggests and they're climbing.

So what I'm saying is, SOMETIMES YOUR ENEMY IS JUST BETTER.

STOP TRYING TO PUT THE BLAME ON YOUR TEAMMATES EVERY MATCH.

You do suck, when compared to the enemy.

You don't even care about winning the game. How do you expect to be decent at the game with that attitude?

Hello Elite4Runner,

I came on this board pretty much for the same reason. I love to play LOL but it has been quite a few times now that I don't enjoy it as much as I used to because of some players' behavior. I know what people will say "get over it", "don't pay attention"... but sometimes you're not in the best place and you just want to play to have fun or cheer up and you don't have the strength to handle people's meanness or sometimes you get over it but you can't help but feeling annoyed, pissed or just upset because some guy or girl cannot handle loosing and just blame everyone but them for it.

Like everyone I can do some great game and some not so great, in Aram or Normal game, I have not been playing for so long but I have played enough to know pretty much what is going on etc... Sometimes I have a team not so great, noobs are pretty easy to find out but I never blame them because I used to be a noob and sometimes I still am one, kinda (when I have never played a champion), and after all this is just a game !!!

But now I am getting sicker and sicker of the players that are just mean and target you, you don't even know why, and insult you freely, telling you you're shit and being so sure they are better than everyone else and that they play perfectly but because of you they cannot win the game. I wish I could protect myself better against this because at the end of the game I just feel sad and upset when really I should just feel great because I did what I could and at least I tried my best. (The most infuriating things among all this is that a fair number of these players are 12yo, who raised these kids for god's sake ???!!! I am a 24yo woman I shouldn't be bother by them but I can't help it damn it lol !!)

So I guess what I am trying to say is that I get the same feeling Elite4Runner and I needed to express it. Yes sometimes the other team is better, yes sometimes some people don't play as well as others but NO it's not OK to blame everyone, insult team players, display such a negative attitude just because you cannot handle loosing sometimes. Please play Animal Crossing if you are like this, this is much more peaceful for you and at least you won't be bothering everyone with your horrible, mean, pitiful, bad attitude and hopefully I will be able to enjoy playing LOL again !!!
