I was trying to get into Silver 3 before the season ended, you know, just to say I did it. I won my first game in my series, lost the second, and was exceptionally hopeful on my third match. I get into the lobby and another guy calls support. Duoing with his friend. I decide to not get negative and just let him have it and asked for jungle. I haven't jungled a ton recently, but it's probably my second best position. So we get in game and everyone is really nice until things start going south. We got first blood, but every lane ended up losing, and enemy Udyr was ganking better than me. It seemed wherever I showed up he was there to block. It just happens sometimes.
So suddenly, Leona jumps up onto a high horse and starts telling everyone else exactly how terrible they're doing, including me. She wasn't doing well either, but hey. She was really toxic and mean, even though everyone was being positive and apologizing for mistakes. Never posed a single solution, and had a terrible game (compared to my Leona standards).
Now, I don't mind that she took support. Heck, I won my first series game playing top. What I mind is that she did terrible as my main champion, that I let her have, and had the nerve to talk trash to us. It hurts me when this happens because as I said in a previous post, I kindof make it my job when I play support to bring the team together, pose solutions, and be a positive player, even if I'm losing badly.
It's sad to me that I went into the game with such a good attitude, and it was all ruined by one person who decided everyone else was a worse shade of bad than her.
Ladies and gentlemen, I ask sincerely. Please, do not play bot lane with your duo if you're not the best at it or if you haven't practiced it. Better communication helps, but it's not THAT big of an edge. Play duos all you want, but please, always play your best, and don't start spewing hate when it looks like it's about to rain a little bit.
Of the last 4 games I've lost that was the only one that ticked me off. All the other times I had reasonable teams that didn't default to harassment.
Win with honor, lose with honor. Anything less is embarrassing.
