"No One Fucking Cares"

Woodakoodashooda·12/12/2018, 11:14:37 AM·4 votes·1,782 views

Today I've dodged 2 Garen mids, a Ziggs Support, a Wukong mid with ignite+smite, a Draven top, and a Lucian mid.

Not ONCE did I ban their hovered picks.

I merely requested, politely, they pick a champion more suited to their role. One of my allies even offered to trade top lane to one of the mid players who hovered Garen and he refused. And one response I received from one of the aforementioned trolls when I declared I'd be dodging was "no one fucking cares".

I suppose that is a rather appropriate description of my experience. No one "fucking" cares about their teams. No one "fucking" cares about their allies. All they "fucking" care about is playing what they want, how they want, where they want, and when they want in a game in which the actions and decisions of any one player can positively or negatively affect the experience of 4 to 9 other people.

We may think we're alone at our desktops or laptops in our own personal physical space where we feel most comfortable, but the truth of the matter is, you aren't. Not when you're in a multiplayer game and placed in a position in which 4 other players depend on you to make positive choices so as to enhance their experience as well as their chances for success.

But I guess people don't "fucking" care about that or winning. Because to win you can't be all, "me, me, me, me, me, me!" That contagious attitude is what's bred a toxic solo carry meta at lower levels of play. And it's what has mired a good many players, myself included, in silver or lower.

So, please, start taking into consideration what effect your choices will have for others when you play League. You aren't alone in this. We all want to succeed, don't we? Let us all start to "fucking" care.

You can spam dodge all you want. It's your LP and time. However you do not get to decide someone is not trying because you don't like their pick. I know meta sheeping is a thing but you're taking it to a ridiculous extreme. Sometimes I play Wukong mid and if you were in my lobby and said that I would probably tell you something extremely similar.

Its funny how you're complaining about people being self centered when in reality it's you beig self centered. You seem to think your opinion of what works and doesn't is the only thing that matters.

"me, me, me, me, me, me!"

This is literally your attitude. My opinion, my opinion, my opinion, my opinion, my opinion!

Your current record is 783W 831L. I don't think anyone could get any sound advice about winning from someone that has a losing record and never finished a season above Silver V. If you were actually decent you could easily carry 1vs5 in Bronze and Silver.

Also, you keep picking Twitch when you currently have a 28% win rate with him. Rammus 44% Kayn 42%

These are in your top played champions.

Are you sure you aren't the problem?

Because to win you can't be all, "me, me, me, me, me, me!"

You can absolutely win with every champion you just listed, especially in low elo. You trying to dictate what your teammates can and cannot play is every bit as selfish as, if not more selfish than, what they're doing by playing off meta. If you'd rather dodge though, that's entirely up to you. Right now, LP really doesn't mean anything anyway, your MMR is all that matters during preseason. You aren't silver because of those picks though. You're silver because that's where you skill level currently sits.

and who gets to decide what's best for the team? Your sole discretion? Have you tried looking into a mirror lately?

I merely requested, politely, they pick a champion more suited to their role. One of my allies even offered to trade top lane to one of the mid players who hovered Garen and he refused. And one response I received from one of the aforementioned trolls when I declared I'd be dodging was "no one fucking cares".

Who are you to declare the mid Garen a troll? Did he say he will troll and did you looked into the future to see that he will troll? And how do you know he would lose his lane? If you want to dodge, just dodge. Who do you think would truly care??

I mean Its expected, people only care about their enjoyment and exceprience when playing a video game. That's the whole reason a lot of people play games in the first place, to only find enjoyment for themselves.

I only care about my other teammate's enjoyment when it doesn't affect mine.

Wukong mid with Ignite+Smite was most likely a duo with the jungler, about to get funneled and carry his team to victory.

Garen mid takes Assassins and dumps all over them, if played well. They can't kill him, and if they roam to get a kill elsewhere his villain passive wrecks them. Perfectly Viable into plenty of matchups.

Lucian Mid can lane bully any squishy out of midlane if played well, especially at lower ELO. His E to dodge enemy mage's skillshots, his passive to dish out the damage faster than they can. Perfectly viable.

Ziggs support is almost a 100% for sure first tower bot if he has a waveclear ADC with him(Such as Sivir)

You're dodging too many games based on too many things, but that's your prerogative. If you really want to spend more time with a dodge timer each day, than you spend playing, over "Off Meta" picks - Go for it. But your W/L rate is caused by your problems, not your team's picks. You've got under a 50% winrate with all three of your top played champs.

Side note - As a Diana 1 trick, all three of those midlane picks would have been a counter pick to me if they played it well. The only arguable one is Luc, who I could kill at 6 if he didn't have me 3 miles behind before then(Which a decent one would).

I think the problem stems from not having coaches.

I imagine a football game. Quarterback wants to throw the ball every play. Runningback wants to run the ball every play. They have to follow the coaches decision though.

Since league doesn't have coaches, it is up to the players. Unfortunately, some players are more concerned with personal desires than team desires.

maybe let people play how they want to in a VIDEO GAME? all the picks you listed can work perfectly fine in low elo hell lucian mid is actually a popular off meta pick that isnt bad by any means if you can play the champion at a decent level, your teams arent why you're silver you are and until you realize that and improve your own play your gonna continue being silver

So what's wrong with garen mid and ziggs support?

Oh, it's not meta. Cool.

I've had team mates that feed the most trolls shit you can imagine while playing a "meta" comp. I don't care what my team wants to play in what position. I've realized that the ONLY thing that matters is whether you have feeders or not. If the enemy team has feeders, they will feed no matter what troll shit your team picks.
