Our team was significantly ahead during the early laning phase (top Xin 2-0 Khazix, jungle Udyr stole Wukong's first red and second blue, mid TF up on CS over Ryze, bot Ashe/Soraka not dying to MF/Taric). Right as I'm giving TF my second blue (after stealing theirs), he disconnects. We decide to play defensively and wait for him to reconnect. Even though we can't push, their Wukong is timidly passive. Xin is far ahead enough to zone and occasionally get kills on Khazix, I manage to shove mid lane and do wraiths/wolves, and bot keeps warding and avoiding fights. The passive TF gold was actually quite helpful, and we decided to hold out the hope that he might come back. 30 minutes later, he never came back. They forced a fight at Baron when we weren't contesting their Dragons, and we engaged poorly and were aced. When our nexus went down, the scoreboard was 17-10 in our favor, and Xin and I had the highest CS.

And then I was demoted.

They should remove shaco.

The only purpose of that champion is to piss off the other team enough to surrender, and be the most annoying fuck you can be.

I like playing lee sin, but it seems like everyone is always paranoid as fuck when i play him. It's pretty annoying, but I guess at least the other team is playing conservatively so its easier to control buffs/objectives

"I can play Amumu well", he said, when I objected that it was no use tunnel-visioning on him when noone on the team said they could play him.
Near drake, no threat from the enemy team, but MF eating free poke ends up at 200 HP after Viktor wasted his ult, and Jayce almost has no mana. They don't have vision on us tho (just MF kept attacking Viktor using my ward then not moving so he could freely E her). Amumu runs in and engages, prompting a quick 5-3.

They're doing Nashor because as I pointed out MF was bottom for no reason, so she pushes to the inhib, we've just got to stall them, right? Kha'Zix, Jayce, Amumu go in one by one and die for no reason, the enemy team gets Nashor, the only reason we don't lose immediatly is that Vayne has to back to kill MF (who killed the inhib) and I stalledlong enough for Jayce to respawn, at the cost of our nexus towers (and we get kills as they run).

Only Malph support still has Nash buff, our inhib respawned, but one lost teamfight and we lose period. I pointed out twice in the last 10 minutes than against Tabi/Sunfire/Randuin's Renekton, MF would need a LW. She had BT/Zeal at the time, she finishes PD first and then goes to build IE, proceeds to deal no damage at all (on top of terrible positioning).
They insist on using Amumu+MF+Zyra ults when that wouldn't kill Renekton (nor Malph or Xin, probably) and would rob us of most of our peeling. I point out our lack of vision, Amumu proceeds to bandage-ult on Viktor+Renekton in the middle of the lane before I can even ward the surroundings, Vayne and Xin flank and Malph just ults MF horribly positioned when she starts ulting. Since she wanted to sit right in front of Viktor she also eats his full ult despite being entangled.

Yeah, sure, maybe you can play Amumu "well". But when it comes to playing the game...

I have to face a 1v2 as Xin vs Vany/Sona. Bot lane is Cait/Leona against Rumble. Junglers are Voli for my team, Jarvan for the enemy team.

I end up doing okay in the laning phase- I get Voli two kills (while dying), and I get an assist and kill later. I die stupidly trying to kill Sona right as tower is about to fall. Still, not that bad for the most part.

Except Cait/Leona lost 0/5 to Rumble because "Jarvan was camping the lane." I don't get how you lose a 2v2 this badly. Rumble comes out of lane even on CS with me, but has 4 extra kills and 2 levels. I can't do anything at all the rest of the game. I can't kill Vayne and Rumble eviscerates my team with his ult because they clump up really nicely for a Jarvan ult. Lux can't do enough damage to push out a 30 MR Ryze despite the fact she has deathcap, grail, and another item.

I really don't understand games like this.

A Shen in Gold IV tried to argue that Riven counters Shen, and that he got zoned out because it's unfavorable matchup. He was down like 60 CS 15 minutes dying once.

His build order: ninja tabi, sheen, into triforce. Are you kidding me? xD

So you are the asshole that has been stealing all my wins yesterday. I played for about 6 hours, not a single win. Not one. fwotd still open afterwards.

So close to Plat!

And then I get a duo queue that both run teleport/smite and run around trolling the whole game.

Reallyyyyyyy. I would have dodged but idk how many points you lose or what the time limit is in ranked.

If you're in a deciding game in a series, what makes you think you're more likely to win the series if you trash talk your teammates for every minor mistake they make?

When I was in my promo series, I didn't so much as say a word to anyone that it was happening. I even had my ADC disconnect 40 minutes in, and I kept my mouth shut, 5 minutes later Vayne reconnected and we won.

But no, for some reason other people in series seem to think they can win if they say "its gg team sucks jungler sucks" 10 minutes in.

Had a stellar game up to as Renekton vs Riven (Xin never came top once, so sort of expected), but it was ruined by this Janna who wouldn't shut up with her garbage about how we should surrender, then was off using her tornado to split push side lanes when we were up like 10k gold and just needed to group 5 and knock down their towers. Game dragged out another 20 minutes and we almost lost at several junctures because of this. I had to endure like 40 minutes plus of blue build Ezreal plinking away at me all day because of this. RAGEEEE.

Also, in general, I think blue build Ezreal is perhaps the most infuriating thing to play against in a close game when you're a bruiser.

Why are all the adc today assholes towards their support? The only reason why you can still lane well is because of your support you ungrateful bastards. My only gripe when I see a bot lane rage at each other... :/

Well, it's pretty simple. People are convinced they are better then they are. Thus stuff is never their fault. So if something goes wrong, they need to blame someone. Sololanes blame the jungler, botlane blames the other person there.
