Why even play ranked if you're not trying to win?

22,332 views64 comments399 upvotes

I was jungle and support was last pick

I asked top and mid if they were going AD or AP, and since they both said AD, I went Diana

The enemy jungle picked Yi, so I asked the 5th pick support to play someone with CC

Then they started complaining like "Why do you guys just pick whatever you want and then expect so much from me?"

They locked in Morgana and then told us to just FF early

Did I actually do something wrong here?

    1. Morgana has a point though, people get pissed when you start telling them what to do

      유익한정보를알려주는사람What do you mean they didn't do anything wrong? Once you're matched as a team, you're a community that's supposed to cooperate and work toward the shared goal of winning. The jungler picked early and took the risk of getting countered, and then Master Yi actually showed up as a counter. If asking a teammate for some CC in that situation hurts their feelings, then what? Is the person who already took a hit for the team by picking first supposed to beg and say "Please pick CC T.T" or something? If they just wanted to play Morgana, they could've just declined by saying, "Sorry, I really want to play Morgana." But acting like a total orphan (Korean slang for fatherless/uneducated) and suddenly throwing just because they're in a bad mood is straight-up antisocial behavior. Why are you trying to justify this by saying they didn't say anything wrong? Everything that Morgana said and did was fucking wrong. Period.

    lmao isn't the whole point of picking late to counter or fix the comp lol top and mid blind pick ranged champs and then when i pick a tank in the jungle they talk so much shit just because i picked a tank late... that's just league for you

      I'm mostly a carry player, so I'm always like "thank you so much!" whenever a teammate locks in a tank.

      They've got massive egos and got triggered because what the team said was actually facts, but they're just pathetic losers acting like they don't care to win the mental gymnastics... nothing you can do about it...

      But look at it this way: you're in the same tier as someone who isn't even trying to win. If they actually tried, they'd probably be ranked way higher than you, but because they play like that, they're stuck in your tier. There's even that one YouTuber who's the textbook definition of "I'm not playing to win," SSAP (a YouTuber known for troll builds and annoying enemies). He doesn't care about winning at all and just focuses on making the other team miserable.

    but like why is a support of all roles complaining about that.. most support champs are basically just cc and utility anyway and it's not like they're gonna carry the game with insane mechanics so obviously they should pick for the comp why is that person so tilted and acting like a bitch lol if the enemy picks yi and you have counterpick you obviously gotta pick a counter right?? lol

    Honestly, the only way to avoid people like that is to just climb. If someone actually cared about team comp and played properly, why would they be stuck in the same rank as me? There's really no comeback to that.... It's super frustrating, but I think just ignoring them is the best way to go. You're the only one getting stressed out otherwise.

    it's so weird lately. in ranked, trolls who just do whatever they want and throw games act like they own the place, but in for-fun modes like ARAM, people start complaining about team comps and flaming way harder than they ever did in ranked lol

    Imagine doing a group project where your grade is on the line, and one teammate just goes, "I'm not even doing this for the grade lol. Why are you so obsessed with points? Get a life lol." People can actually be like that. It's probably the same for them everywhere else, not just in games.

    1. I guess that logic works if you're a college senior about to graduate and only need the bare minimum credits to pass. In that case, the person who's actually desperate can carry the team to a good grade if they try hard enough, but LoL doesn't really work like that.

    We seriously need to hunt down the bastard who first said games are meant to piss people off Ever since that phrase became a thing, if you actually try to win, people treat you like a basement-dwelling loser and say "it's just a game, why so serious?" It's literally created a breed of sadists who start shit over nothing just to get a reaction Games are meant to be won, period facts

    Since the way ranked and normal games play out is so different, some people just play for fun even in ranked, while others only play for fun in normals and go try-hard in ranked.. Then there are those who go full try-hard even in normals or ARAM. If you can't wrap your head around it, just tell yourself "I guess that's just how they are" and move on.

    Losing is fine, whatever. You can always just win the next one. But you should at least try your best during the game. If you don't want to put in the effort, just go play normals.

    Ranked is just a game after all. People play to have fun, not necessarily just to win. If winning was the only goal, everyone would be chatting and cooperating, but the moment people shut their mouths and play, they're just doing whatever they want. When people say "mute all!", they're basically saying [I have no intention of communicating], which is a culture that doesn't really care about winning... It's a team game, after all... In the end, most people want to win by [carrying the game themselves], not by [making sure their teammates have a good time winning]... You didn't do anything wrong. It's just a difference in perspective.
