Do not call a role unless you want to do that role's job.

I absolutely hate getting roles based on pick order and I think everyone plays their best when they're in the role they want, because of these I will fill whatever role the team needs and try to work with the team to get everyone their preferred role.

That being said, DO NOT EVER call a role unless you are willing to do what that role does. If you don't want to gank don't pick jungle. If you aren't ok with dying for the ADC don't pick support. If you can't last hit don't pick ADC. If you can't control a lane don't pick Top. If you don't like the squishy assassin job then don't pick mid. But the most important thing is, if you want to practice a role then play VS Bots, watch videos on a champ you want to play that lane with, but don't rush into a new role with a new champ because it makes the game a hell of a lot less fun for the rest of the players.

As I've begun playing more I've begun to see these players who pick a role and then don't do the job of that role and it gets pretty annoying.

That's the end of my mini rant

Is this ranked you're talking about? Anything else is overall free game. People need to learn these things some how, you can only learn very basic things in a bot match.

Also, looking at your match history. You're not exactly doing well either. Don't tell me someone fed and you couldn't help but die. It's your job not to die. It's the teams job to get kills. Things shouldn't be done alone, but you alone can mess it all up.

You could tell me it's a smurf account. In which case you should be doing far better at level 27.

Overall it looks like the broken matchmaking at work. You faded two duos who were clearly with low level buddies. Low enough that their friends had to be at a decent MMR. While if the two ranked players on your side were either people on your side, they were not very far up there as their levels didn't go much lower than your own.

Riot throws everyone into an average MMR to call it good enough. They should force higher MMR players into a handicap when playing with sub-30's to fix the problem.

But instead we're left with these rants and years of people saying how horrible 1-30 is.

But hey, at least Evelyn's getting nerfed again. (Different groups work on that, I know.)

I usually don't care about other lanes performing badly. I just want to do well in my own. If I win lane but lose game, at least I know I tried my best.

What if I don't care and I just wanna play a certain champion?

Just one of the rules is abit off. "If you aren't ok with dying for the ADC don't pick support." This is only if you both got caught but you have to risk yourself to save them. if the adc keeps getting caught and out of place, then thety support is better off running to the Tower to avoid a double kill.

I heavily agree, but bots can only do so much in the learning process.

dont open a thread about roles if you have no idea what you are talking about
