I'm not gonna pretend I'm a fantastic player; I can be pretty trash sometimes. To preface I'm I4 and have been playing for a month or two, but my friend who has been playing since 2024 and I have been queueing since my first day. He is now Oracle 5 or 6 and we mainly play in R6-E4 matches.

The amount of people who soft int or just outright grief if they face any minor inconvenience is insane. I don't want to swap out of strong lane because I'm playing P1 and the matchup is great? Now our weak lane is just running their guardian down and feeding. I ping mid when we have map control and they're 4 down? I guess i can go fuck myself with a cactus because 4 of them would rather huddle around a single sinners despite an entire map of jungle existing. I ask the 18k 0-9 Drifter to not fight the 31k 7-0 Mina? Everyone but my duo and I die in a teamfight while minions take our shrines.

Now I play lile dogshit sometimes I know, I dont want to come off high and mighty. But i swear to god you would think that people in Emissary could do >250 obj damage (i've had people in E4 do 29 obj damage. 29. not 29k, not 2.9k, 29) and know how to play from behind or at least not mass feed the enemy. Part of this is on me and my duo to carry and overperform if we win lane which I acknowledge, but carrying is difficult when the rest of your team is a 3 or 4 stack that got pissed that you asked them to play the game so they decided griefing you is more important than winning the match.
