Honey of the South
I got pissed playing LoL earlier. I kept getting teammates that weren't really good. I thought ranked would be better, but every time I play the champ they suggest I play and every time we'd still end up losing. If we didn't surrender then it was a curb stomp. My first ranked we didn't even make it to the 20 min mark. And I was the only one even trying to do anything. At least the other team thought so. God I hadn't had a match like that since I started playing two years ago.
Ok, I feel a little better getting that out of my system. I just don't like being matched with others who don't know what they're doing and then have them start blaming me when we're losing the lane. It's happened one too many times today. A Sivir that wouldn't push, a Leona trying to support Tristana, and a few too many junglers who ganked the wrong lanes at the wrong times. Or didn't gank at all.
Basically, I was having shitty luck in the matchmaker today. This was the only place I could think of to rant.
Hope you don't mind if I comment here. I was kind of in this situation recently and someone messaged me this. The best thing to do in this kind of situation is just to forget about playing to win the game, and instead play to improve yourself. If you don't feel like reading this kind of stuff, feel free to ignore it.
Your teammates probably won't be in your next game, especially at lower rankings, so you don't have to waste time thinking about them and their mistakes. Think about yourself and the decisions you're making. If you're in private, talk to yourself while playing the game as if you're explaining your actions in the game to somebody sitting next to you. If anything sounds stupid or seems stupid when you look back at it, remember that. And don't do that next game. Try to always find the right thing to do. Should you play super aggressive here or just focus on last hitting and harassing when you can? Gank or keep farming the jungle? Use your flash offensively to try for a kill or keep it in case of a jungle gank? Stuff like that. Remember when you decided between two things and chose the wrong option. Make a note of that while you're dead or walking back to lane. If you're winning, what could you do to make use of this lead and extend it? If you're losing, how can you delay a loss as long as possible? Note: What YOU can do. Not what your teammates can do.
If you think about stuff that way, it shouldn't matter what your teammates pick or if they do bad plays. Tough luck, everyone gets bad teammates one day or the other, but if you get too caught up thinking of things they did wrong and blaming them for the upcoming loss, you lose track of things you could have done better yourself and a possible comeback. And it shouldn't matter whether you win or lose. If you lost, so what? You learned from the game. You found out a bunch of stuff you don't need to do in the future. You'll lose a bunch of LP, sure, but that just means you'll be matched with people with lower LP on both your team and the enemy team, and if you really did improve enough times, winning should become much easier.
That being said, why is nobody posting
Warriors over here? Holy cow, this is an amazing song and an amazing animation to boot. Imagine Dragons and the Gorillaz music video guys. Awesome stuff.
