Let me just make this absolutely clear...
GROUPING INTO A 5 MAN BALL IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO EVERY GAME >.<

I'm so tired of playing with pugs who can't see when a team is stronger in a group and keep insisting everyone should cluster.

Grow up and learn some real theory. The fastest way to stop a push in any lane is to put pressure in another lane.

Do not run across the map to defend a tower you clearly can't make it to in time, just to satisfy the "help defend" fanatics that reign supreme in the game.

If their mid, or any lane for that matter goes MIA, do not run around the map trying to find them and help whatever lane they went to. PUSH THE LANE YOURE IN forcing them to come back. After the mia call it's the teams job to move back to a more defensive position until you force the MIAs back to their lane.

Do not let people leave their lane and still have it defended by the fact that you put no pressure on.

Anyways... movingon.

Every single time I play LoL at the end of the game I am like 7-1 and my teammates are like 0-5 2-3 and we lose. I think matchmaking hates my guts.

Yeah they really need to add leagues to the game, because it's absolutely futile to play with pugs right now lol.

It's pretty much: Take a key role (tank, support) or lose because you can't trust people to perform them.

lol you can say a simple sarcastic answer to anything people try to address about every game. unfortunately as im sure you know... everyone has their own schedule so always having 5 people... its pretty impossible.

I understand, i just think that playing a team game without a team is silly. You're basically rolling the dice every time you start the game and hoping you won't have to rage.

I love the opponents grouping up really close when I play Galio, so I can catch them all in my ult and get a pentakill.

Also, list me 5 people currently in Liquidparty that are not already in a game and that are under level 15. Solo queue is pretty much the only option for people low level (unless they want to be seriously outclassed in games with Lvl 30s)

You're absolutely right. I know the risks and unfortunately I get out of work no one is online and I choose to play a game with some randoms. I don't argue the point that playing with my friends is obviously preferable. I'm just trying to get across to people that they have to be open to the possibilities that "group up or gg" is not the way to play the game lol. But considering it's a free game which has attracted countless young and unable players, there is no reasoning with them lol.

I definitely agree to an extent lol I'd love for the leagues to put us into groups that weed out the weak, but also not open that up for people to just rage for the sake of raging lol.

Never one time will you say "hey ashe you've build is weak, you should be getting IE" and have a player say "yeah thats true" it's always a hyper defensive "LMAO youre so stupid kiddo.." and the fight continues.... It's okay to take advice people relax about it >.<

Randoms dont understand pushing. As soon as you die against a 5 man gank in one lane, everyone in your team seems to run to that lane instead of pushing the other 2 unharmed. Seems like you need to play a lot of sivir to understand pushing lol

Agreed man. playing a carry and going 19-2 does you no good when your team doesn't push a damn thing and falls to pieces the moment you die...

I think it should be mandatory for people in this thread to post their Elo rating in addition to all of their stupid comments, just because that would probably make them think twice about blaming everything on everyone else.

If you go 30-0 every game and lose every game, let me break it to you: you still suck. Players that are good will win more games then they lose over time.

Agreed but,
No matter what your elo is all the facts still stand. It's still a game that does little to gauge their players based on skill, and the general crowd has no real concept for good team play. They just like to target a reason, any reason, and rage about it.

Why don't you post YOUR elo. I doubt it's >2200, which you would definitely be if you went 30-0 every game no matter how that was possibly achieved.

Well I sure hope your summoner name is not Kashll if you think you're better than someone who goes "30-0 every game".
