RAGE Thread

[Ashe]

I understand that I need to learn new champions. I appreciate that you feel the need to tell me all the time. I appreciate having Le Blanc's faults explained to me (I really do). I like knowing she has weakness late game. That doesn't make me like her any less. I'm sorry I picked Le Blanc that game making us have two assassins. but please...

After we're locked in and loading please don't continue to rail on me for choosing her and playing her all the time. Don't continue to tell me she sucks even when I'm moving into my lane. Don't even bitch about Le Blanc 10 minutes into the game about her getting destroyed quickly in team fights. I'm sorry, but it's really demoralizing and distracting and I felt that against Kennen.

Please stop. I'm making an effort to learn other champions. I'm going to buy Brand, Vayne, and play more Nasus. In that order...


D:

Your character choice wasn't the problem, as far as the biggest issue was. Obviously having a team comp that consisted of "pick who I'm in the mood for" does hurt, but the problems were deeper than that. We discussed that at the champ select and load screen and, unfortunately, we weren't able to really objectively talk about it in a neutral way that could help adjust the character in time because we were too busy talking over each other.

That said, it had nothing to do with our actual performance the following game and I can't stress that enough. I made mistakes (bad chases, etc), others made mistakes (bad chases and bad map awareness), we all did things that we could have learned from over the course of the game to apply to other games. I think one of the things that irked me was the statement that "You learn absolutely nothing from a lost game" because that is shirking the responsibility. Screaming that "GAREN IS OP" all game or that we, as a team and as individuals, are not making mistakes and its just that they are "OP" completely absolves oneself of the responsibility of their actions, projecting all blame out. You learn a lot from a lost game, and the stance that you don't is, honestly, a personal issue of pride that will hold you back from getting better.

EDIT: That said, I don't actually intend to discuss this any further, because it was made clear that it wasn't going to get anywhere.
