1200-1300 is the true ELO hell.

1000-1200, yeah, players are bad, but they are the "not that good" kind of bad where it's still possible to carry.
Somehow players at 1200 manage to be far worse than those and players tend to ragequit/troll a lot more.

Also, people that say "why didn't you attack the AD" when you have 2 bruisers on you and kite for your life should be forced to play AD for the next 1000 games or until they understand how it works, which ever comes first (i assume the 1000 games comes first).

Had to support a vayne with taric who started W at lvl 1 with boots and mana pots. She didn´t get Q until level 7 and she was just super useless and fed like fuck. I look her up at lolking and she has a 23% winrate with vayne with 20 games played. I honestly can´t remember the last time I´ve played with such a terrible player on my main account.

Went ADC ashe last game I played, got paired with the most useless support soraka I have ever seen. Maybe he didn't want to play support but w/e. Doesn't ward all game, spam attacks/starcall on minions and fucks up my cs and flashes into the opposing trist/kayle and gets killed and blames me. I still manage to get kills here and there but its not enough, the rest of my team is stupid and doesnt bother to peel for me so I just get torn apart from their WW once teamfights start.

He kept spamming "zzzzz" all game too while doing jack fucking shit and even went afk for like 5 minutes at one point. Fuck that kid.

Smiteless Amumu. Oh god.
Fucker gives a kill to Malzahar, who comes back with NLR since I get no help and failed ganks that push the lane. NLR Malz soon. Then they give him a double top. And I'm Ryze. Fuck.

I am the only one of my friends who chose the CLG.na logo as summoner profile pick. Now, I get molested and harassed by ALL the TSM fanbois in my list. So unfair.

He always did; was also one of the biggest starters of LoL v DotA comparison discussions.

In actual QQ news, apparently I'm better at casting than playing, and I should just give up going for solo gold.

Getting better and having more game knowledge improves your casting too though :p

You don't need knowledge if you can CAST!

"Dear diary,

Hit soloQ today, everything's fine, I try to stay away from chatting in selection chat. Game starts, we go help jungle Nocturne with blue. I refrain from asking him why he doesn't start wolves b/c I don't want him to rage quit. Everything is fine until we hit lane. I got this absolutely useless support Miss Fortune that keeps stealing my cs and yelling at me in chat. I ignore her and focus on last hitting because as Lulu I really needs a good start or I will be behind come mid/late game. We lose first team fight and team wants to surrender. I vote no but with 4 votes yes we surrender. They didn't even fucking try. I tell them all to go to hell in post chat.

Play again. Hopefully better team next time.

Best wishes,
Asshole"

Oh god, don't get me started. I already ranted about this yesterday on stream and had a huge argument in GD about it last week.

TL;DR - Most casters are underappreciated and hated no matter what they do, yes there are some objectively bad casters, and no, you do not need to be a pro player to cast well. (None of this refers to me or my skills.)

I am not saying that.
If you don't know what the fuck is going on, don't pretend you do.
If you don't know what the fuck is going on, at least be somewhat funny.

A caster living by those 2 simple rules is cleared in my book. Or he knows what he's talking about, but that's rare.

please God help me...

I had someone go amumu mid. Only thing stopping me from dodging was that the other mid was Kat. Welp, should have dodged since we had no bruisers or tanks. And as always we lost the game despite me being adc going 7/3. I guess I should have talked about the concept of positioning to the team.

Lost another game right after because we had a zilean solo top against Singed. Didn't understand the concept of wards. He always pushed and had a darius jungle go gank him. Zil goes 1/5 in first 7 mins of game. Everyone else did well (high positive score)and we try to do our best but singed and darius being so god damn fed carried their team...

This was both ranked games. Why the fuck do I keep hitting this damn wall?? Holy shit can i find a decent duo friend.............................................................................................

I was playing Udyr and jungling. Secured several killls (fed them to my top and mid laner) and had just wrecked my opponents jungle. Bot lane (Vayne/Soraka) was having some trouble so i went down to gank for them. It was successful and fed my ADC two kills. I pinged dragon right after (I already knew where their jungler was) and they refused to help. They said getting a turret and roaming (at level 7) was more important. I then noticed my ADC's farm, it was less than my own... I've never been so dumbfounded by players before.

Edit: Was a ranked game.
