RAGE Thread

[Kaden]

But for a player who's already getting outlaned, having somebody on their team say "stop feeding" is really frustrating when they're doing the best they can. I almost ragequit a match today as Ashe laning mid against a level 30 Karthas (with Grim Reaper skin), and I never rage.

Yeah, that pretty much never stops.

I was playing... uh... Malphite, I want to say, against a Zilean and a Kayle. I'll give you a second to think about that.

We had an Eve that decided to roam and just do nothing and leave me to die. I got killed four or five times and the only thing my team would do is yell at me. Dying under the tower is awesome.

Point being, sometimes there isn't anything you can do. Tell your team that. If they refuse to help you do anything about it then you just have to shrug it off. It won't ever stop, though.

I was playing as Malphite once and was repeatedly being tower dived and obliterated from full health to nothing by a combination of old Ryze (burst king) and Poppy in a 2v1. Died multiple times and kept asking for help, got nothing but "OMG STOP FEEDING FAGGOT, QUIT GETTING AGGRESSIVE" when the creeps had been past them the entire game. They ignored CS and just focused on killing me, occasionally last hitting me but keeping me so far away that they were a level up on me and I was solo. I had never left the tower.

End of game, "gg, malph's a feeding retard noob".

My life, this is a story of it every time I pick a tank

[Waffuru]

I think the people who actually do have some map awareness will tell you if they know why you're dying. Most people just never look at map or outside of their own vision.

Not really rage, but the last game I played was unfortunate. I was mid Vayne and rocking their Malz pretty hard. When the enemy team started splitting up, Malz started ganking successfully enough to grab a Mejai's. Twenty minutes later, people are still screaming to the Malz when their Olaf is walking around with Frozen Mallet, Move3, and Bloodrazor.

Olaf may have rocked, but boy oh boy did we keep Malz from getting too many stacks.

"Meh, wasn't taking the game all that seriously" is not a fucking excuse.

u mad?

[Jonathan Meer]

Yeah.

[Rafael]

motherfuckers need to call mias. Every time I'm mid I get ganked repeatedly because A) the ganks I ask for never come and B) Neither do the mias.

People then tall me to "watch the map, noob." but...you're looking right at the people in your fucking lane, type the three letters so I don't extend and their mid doesn't get fed, also freeing up mid to come down and beat your ass because of it.

I try to win, I just don't beat myself up if I lose. Sorry, I enjoy the game more that way, but if you enjoy beating yourself up and raging after every loss, that's cool man.

[Jonathan Meer]

I'm not beating myself up. I did what I was supposed to. I called MIAs, I didn't engage in 2v1s, I got the fuck out of there if I was solo and knew people were heading my way.

I'm very competitive. If I'm going to invest an hour into a game, I don't like finding out after the fact that people on my team weren't giving a shit, and don't take reasonable efforts to win. I'm not asking people to beat themselves up, or carve a scar into themselves for every loss. I'm asking for basic sense.

I didn't think I had to ask teammates before a game if they were taking a game seriously or not, but I suppose now I know I need to do that. And if the answer is 'No,' I can then choose to play something else.

[Super Buu]

Nobody was not giving a shit. I was just playing a bad game, as I said (not even THAT bad, it was like 7/9 by the end). When I said "I don't really care", I meant exactly what I just posted - I'm not gonna beat myself up for losing a videogame. Life's too short to get mad over inconsequential shit.

[Jonathan Meer]

I don't want to have it out here. We can chat about it later in mumb.

You'll find it becomes increasingly common that people refuse to do this.

I have mixed feelings about it. While communication is very important to the game, so is individual awareness. People not doing that definitely helped me get used to checking the map and trying to keep a tab on what's going on.

Just a heads up, really.

Pretty much this. MIA calls are a courtesy. Don't rely on them. It is just as much your responsibility to watch for them as it is for the others, if not more since you'll be the one dying. Its frustrating to die to a gank, I totally agree, but don't be the guy at the other mid tower the entire game and repeatedly dying and blaming the other lane for not calling it. If you get that someone on their team has shown a tendency to go roaming, adjust your play style to fit it. If you aren't willing to put a bit of extra attention on their lane (since you now know they'll be coming from bot repeatedly, so you should try to check bot's minimap often), then play more defensively and ward more.

Also, regarding the "I NEED MID GANK", there are two times this drives me up the wall. One is if I'm Jungling and this isn't the occasional gank, but instead happens so often that I'll get blue and basically stand around in one of lanes until my buff entirely wears off, then go cover another, then go back to the first, etc. What happens is that you are losing xp from recalling so much (though this is preferable to you staying there if you are losing your lane) and I am losing xp due to spending so much time walking from lane to lane and not being near dying creeps. This puts me in a situation where I am underleveled against those lane opponents and get to where I won't be able to hold the lane either, which snowballs. I also hate when someone screams about needing a gank but absolutely won't stop pushing to their tower. Too often I'll see a solo top repeatedly pushing all the way to their tower against two opponents, and then suddenly the other jungler comes out behind them and fucks their shit up. Who's fault is that? Apparently its the entire rest of our team, because "wtf, I'm owning these noobs but I get 3v1'd because no mia call on their jungler and their jungler actually ganks while our jungler fucks around in jungle!" Maybe stop pushing the lane under their tower and you can get that gank.

The other time is when we don't have a jungler. People like to get completely dominated in their lane and bitch in chat repeatedly that they need a gank, but fail to accept that all the other lanes are also getting dominated.

Long story short, if you have to "get a gank plz" too many times in your lane, then you should have just duo laned instead of pretending to solo, since two people are in your lane almost as much as one.

Vayne nerf nooooooooooooooooooooo

[Kaden]

It's a small nerf. And definitely a needed one.

The mana cost is really only going to have an impact on the very early game. Won't even do that if someone ports back and grabs Sheen asap. The true damage was needed and the E damage was a good idea (I actually called both of those nerfs the second day she was out).

Really like the sound of the Kog and Annie changes, though. Hopefully those champs see some more play.

But I LIKED being OP, even if only a little bit. Also, I don't like getting Sheen first; I like my BF sword for hyper auto-attack damage. I was so happy with my build as it was. Riot ruined EVERYTHING. This is the worst thing that has happened to the world ever. /QQ

Damn you riot, why'd you have to go and make another kickass Annie Skin? I got the goth one for free with a champ pack when I first started, but the new fire...it's blue...
