2-10
That’s my recent record in League of Legends and it’s pretty pathetic. Every once in a while I’ve noticed Riot decides to set me up with some really bad teams and I get in ruts like this. A breakdown of the 12 games can be enlightening…
- Game 1: LOSS – I played a Nami support to a first time Vayne who achieved 53 CS by 13 minutes.
- Game 2: LOSS – after a remake where my ADC didn’t show up, I got a Teemo who never left the top lane to participate with the team – he did get the outer turret down before we lost.
- Game 3: LOSS – jungle Jax had no games played as the champ and went 2–13 dying each time he tried to gank bot lane.
- Game 4: WIN – actually won this thanks to a beast mode Nasus who overcame our ADC Vayne who excitedly exclaimed that he was high and was playing on his buddy’s account.
- Game 5: LOSS – had an Ahri who told us not to worry that she was going AD in the bot lane as ADC – she went 2–9
- Game 6: LOSS – my ADC, Ezreal, didn’t know how to avoid getting grabbed by Blitz and went 0–6 before minute 10.
- Game 7: WIN – went 5/1/15 to carry bot lane when playing with a virgin Ashe
- Game 8: LOSS – Yasuo went AFK at 5 minutes after getting ganked.
- Game 9: LOSS – Teemo ADC…nuff said.
- Game 10: LOSS – rookie Vayne who got 67 CS and went 0–3 by 12 minutes – proudly exclaimed he was on a boosted account.
- Game 11: LOSS – Alistar virgin jungler went 2–10.
- Game 12: LOSS – no tanks, a virgin Nidalee jungler, and a first time Diana midlane.
It’s runs like this that really have me wondering why I should keep playing this game. When nearly every game has at least 1 player out of 5 that directly contribute to a loss in ranked due to inexperience, drugs, ignorance of the meta, AFK, or choices to actively help the enemy team, it really gets frustrating. As I’ve already pointed out, I’ve had 2 reports result in the culprits being banned during this set of games but that hasn’t altered the fact that I fell from Silver I to Silver III.
Oh well, with Legion coming out today, I think I’ll take a leave of absence from League. We’ll see how long and if I decide to punish myself further by trying to deal with a game where 1 outta 5 people are more than happy to goof around in ranked.
