About streams "XXX carrying in blabla ranked elo"

So hear me. Please. I see on youtube a lot of video of X "carrying in blabla elo". Then I proceed to watch the video, and what I see is X getting 10 ganks from his jungler, or X being AFK-farming while his team goes 10-0.

Look, I think that most ranked players are not interested in this. We can all win our lane when we get 10 ganks, and we can all win games when our team goes 10-0 while we farm 0/0/0 under tower.

What I want to see if a player able to manage teams with AFK or int feeder, a player who can carry a 0-10 team (whether it is with micro, macro, or being tiltproof in chat). And I want to see a player doing this consistently, not just 1 lucky time.

Stop with the bait click of "X carrying", when X actually got carried, or X just did his easy job while having a decent team.

when the consistency is this big i don't think he is just lucky

maybe he is setting up the lane for an easy gank maybe he is pinging at a timing that the jungler can consider the gank maybe he has the setup ability to guarantee a gank

yes his name does help but the communication these players do that you ignore doesn't invalidate their success

there is also a very strong point here that you didn't consider most players in your elo can't carry even if they get the camp ive played jungle long enough to often regret camping for some people

id much rather some people go 0/10 than go 10/0 because i can actually win a 4v5 game where i give the resources to somoene that will use them instead they are just wasting the resources

so what if i gank you 10 times and give you 7/0 advantage when at 20 minutes you are still behind in levels and cs

the argument is very relevant because they know how to setup their leads and then push them in a way that they win the game while most of you that are stuck in your elos can surely win lane and with a gank can snowball it into a turret or 2 but after that you are just araming or tilting because the bot or mid isn't doing so hot while completely ignoring the fact that the jungler has put all their trust in you to carry that difference in lane power

this is why you don't climb because you always deflect to your teams instead of trying your best to not make mistakes and set up plays that lead to objectives

Yeah I find it funny how they always play with OP champs, duo, dodge games where allies have low win rates, never get afk'r, hard int'ers, or trolls, and always tell everyone they're smurfing.

For once I'd like to see a 'pro' take someone else's silver or lower account and play, say Aurelion Sol support, without any of the above gimmicks. But of course we all know that'll never happen.
