[quote=OTGBionicArm][center][h3]Game 23:[/h3] [i]"Do [b]storms[/b] pity the drowned?"[/i] [url=http://i.imgur.com/aMByujA.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/aMByujA.png width=500][/url] [h3]Thought Process:[/h3][/center] Blitz took support (Something i regret letting him do) so I politely asked for [[nasus]] to remain unbanned. To survive against [[jax]] I rushed [[Frozen heart]] and [[Randuin's Omen]], with [[spirit Visage]] following. I actually had a [[Sheen]] early on, but sat on it and built [[trinity force]] as a fith item and was working for a [[guardian angel]]. Maxed [[wither]] second to further hinder [[jax]] specifically. [center][h3]Game Summary:[/h3][/center] Started off perfectly. [[Kha'zix]] got a kill early then [[Vi]] killed [[jax]]. So worth! Bot lane then died. Both of them. Under enemy tower. At lvl 3. The goal for bot lane this game seemed to be "How hard can we feed and still actually win?" So lots of this game was a blur. Most of of it post laning phase was me and [[Kha'zix]] begging [[Vayne]] and [[blitzcrank]] to group with us and I was all like; [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/DvRujp9.gif][/center] But they didn't so we resorted to shadowing them. A lot of shitty team fights and major throws from both sides eventually ended with OP [[Kha'zix]] damn near soloing their team for victory. [center][h3]Things I learned:[/h3][/center] Duo bot laners are completely unreasonable. [center][h3]Things to work on:[/h3][/center] Was a tad bit too ham, knowing damn well bot lane was never going to be with us. [center][h3]Questions for MOBAFire:[/h3][/center] I feel like bot lane was intentionally handicapping our game for some reason. There's no excusable way for that level of feed besides trolling or deeming our champions simply too OP, and forcing us to work harder for the win. xD What do you guys think they fed for?[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]70% of my ranked games i duo bot lane :/ i like to think i am reasonable. you just caught a bad break. you still in silver right? yeah they probably just weren't that good. i have had a duo bot feed 20+ kills before and they were honestly trying....or at least they made it seem that way in chat. some people just like feeding man...i guess they figure they are like a soup kitchen for the enemy team. gj keepin jax in check. also that kha was a machine.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]They were splitpushing and when asked to group they replied "Split is always better" What[/quote]

[/quote] Its not that Duo bot laners are completely unreasonable, its that you want to stay as far away from duo queuers as possible. Reasons: 1. They are players looking to move up but can't do it individually and try to cheese their way up with a buddy. (Largest Portion of Duo's) 2. Player looking to get carried by a buddy for the same reason stated in #1. (Middle Portion of Duo's) 3. Players frustrated with bad teammates and actually know they deserve to move up (Having broken down and analyzed themselves to the point they always win lane and never feed), but want to do it faster by duoing with someone they can rely on (Small Portion of Duo's) 4. Players on smurfs who want to have fun with a smurfing buddy while moving up (Smallest Portion). Now out of these reasons, most of the time you're just gonna get #1 and #2 in areas between bronze silver and gold, sometimes in plat, very rarely. You end up running into #3 every once in a while, and #4 is usually high gold to high plat. Regardless out of these cases, you'll end up losing most of the time with 1 and 2 and sometimes with #3. You'll only ever lose with #4 if they troll on purpose, your games is literally in their hands unfortunately >.>. Anyway, you can see that duo's are just irritating to deal with, especially if they're #3 or #4 on the enemy team. And you know why they fed? Mentality, after going on tilt after so long people just stop caring. You have to try and understand their view. And just remember that you cant please everyone, if they dont want to cooperate then just follow them around all together and hope you can pull off a win. You played it right.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Yep, shadowing seemed like our only chance to win. xD[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]^ use them as bait XD @nate hmm well i don't fit any of those categories. i duo queue because i main support and enjoy support and don't want to take a chance at getting a horrific adc who will ultimately blame all his problems on me so i duo with a friend who mains adc. we are both silver elo players so yeah. i dunno..maybe i just suck and need him to carry me....you could be right....maybe i need to rethink my LoL gaming...maybe rethink my life...who am I...what am I doing here?[/quote]

[quote=NateDog13]I'd actually disagree with you on that, and say you fall into in #3. You recognize that you have the skill to play the lane, but bot lane is a two person lane that relies on both parties in order to due well, solo que is a terrible place for a role that needs that kind of synergy. I know that my wording is probably not specific enough to really cover each of these categories, but it really does tend to cover all duo's. And frankly, playing with a friend to improve is one thing, but when you take it into a ranked match, people tend to not understand the implications. It causes the enemy team to either have a higher MMR (leading to facing harder opponents than you would have faced) or dealing with another team duo (who can fall into any of those 4 categories). It really does put you in a weird situation that can lead to a ton of wins or a ton of losses.[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]^ fair enough :D still rethinking my life though :P[/quote]
