Why are people like this.

/Rant

I won't name shame, but I've never had a game where this had happened.

I'm playing Kha, and I go blue buff side to start. The top Renekton at 30 seconds till minions spawn just says "lol good luck getting a leash". I didn't say anything but "jg" in before game chat and certainly didn't say anything to offend him. I start going bot side and say in advance to please leash and I get a "nope not missing minions". Like, wtf? I go chickens and get the Veigar I'm duoing with to help leash that (I had to back after chickens and the small monsters of red buff because I got invaded lvl 1 at my own buff).

So I'm Kha'Zix, who is notorious right now for having bad early clears and has the second lowest winrate. The Renekton then proceeds to feed 1/4/0 top lane because he dove the top Nidalee. Twice. End of game I'm 15/3/9.

Why are people like this? Why can't people just help other people in the game. Everyone is so focused on trying to win their lane, trying to carry, trying to be Faker and have the fame so that everyone can be like "oh, thank you so and so for carrying". It's a team game. I'm convinced it's the twitch streams. All of the people ask how to get out of low ELO and all the Challenger streamers say "carry your way out of (insert rank)". If everyone is trying to carry, you get a 5 man AD assasin team that all feeds because no one is coordinated.

I mean, sometimes it's better for your lane if you don't leash. Probably had nothing to do with you. I personally refuse to leash if you want the blue/red buff, I'll only leash the small camps.

what's even more ridiculous is that with the new jungle timers you can give a good leash without missing a single creep

This right here. This is why this game is no fun. Everyone wants to be a solo hero. The few that actually understand this is a team game are simply called bad. Uninstalled today because I had two very bad games in a row where at least three people thought they can 1v5 while I'm trying to help in teamfights. Decided to take a week off from this and play something else before I lose the rest of my sanity.

It's not about your solo feats. I love people who dive in to 3 on 1 fights, die, then blame me because I was nearby. Uh...maybe if you didn't dive in to uneven odds, you wouldn't be slaughtered. I'm not going to jump and die with you. Then you'd complain about me feeding the enemy. Bottom line, play smarter. I especially love it when I'm playing a support character, low on mana, and someone dies and blames me for not shielding / healing them. The fact that you can see my mana bar is low was just an oversight, I guess.

That's so dumb honestly. I've had a toplaner refuse to leash me at the last second and then proceeded to feed their lane and blame me for it. Personally, whenever I gotta leash as ADC, I've never missed any cs because I leashed. Not sure what your bot was even talking about :/ That's why I've been laying off the solo queue and waiting for the update so I can play with a full team of friends in ranked. Too many times I've had ADC's that I support who think they can 1v3 at level 6 and then flame me for not going in with them too. People don't seem to realize that they're not required to carry the game. Just do well, don't overaggress for "plays", even if you gotta keep at a 0/0/0 and as a team, we can work together for objectives rather than trying to all be heroes.

Because people can't seem to take the shame. Many are cowards, many can't bear the feeling of fault. But thats what makes them idiots, because they fear to see themselves as one.

This is too true! I've always been timid of doing ranked because I do not have the "carry #1" mentality. I am much better at mages and zoning than i am with bursty-in-your-face champs, and I work better being aggressive and setting things up or peeling than carrying. I don't know why either, but having this play style is why I main support. I cycled through all the roles (except top) as a potential main role, then hit support last and realized it's just what I do best.

But yes, everyone thinks they're going to be the next carry. No one wants to tank, no one wants to be utility, and if someone else supports i feel like they always take sona for dat damage or something, who knows.

I main jungle, i get salty if i get a bad leash:)..however, whenever i don't play jungle, i give the best leash possible..if i am tank, i will tank the jungle creeps, if i am adc, i will use my abilities to kill it faster. But, when it comes to top lane, it's hard to get a proper leash, a few AA and that's enough,,that's why people start bot, better leash..TOP lane is all about wave management;)..
