Useless team mates

[alexwbyrd]

Knew it! From the title I immediately knew this was League of Legends. Bad community game has a bad community. I mean sure Halo and COD have crappy communities too but I suppose it was somewhat of a lucky guess.

On topic: Yeah I get this all the time on League. People must not realize that if you are new at the game and/or want to try a new champion, they should custom make a game with bots and play alone just to get a feel for it. At least with an all bot team, no one else's match will be ruined by someone else's ineptitude.

I'm bouncing around the top 5% skill level on DotA 2 now so I can get away with solo-queue pretty well without getting screwed by morons. In fact a bunch of my friends are in the 30~60% skill range so if I queue with them and not get a full party, there's actually a higher chance of finding a moron on our team. Just raise your ELO. It should operate the same for LoL.

Thing about DotA is though, in LoL you get useless teammates at worst while in DotA you get anchors. Good example of this is a very badly played Nature's Prophet. Back before I ranked up, played with this NP and his ult hits everything on the map for 250 damage ok? He uses this to farm whenever it's up and it's only strong enough to last hit 20% of the creeps! Because our map is bigger than LoL, that means 80% of the creep's bounty just evaporates into air every 60 seconds! And the lanes never push to our side of the map because his ult keeps pushing it into enemy territory. This caused our entire team, except NP to be starved of gold and exp. Because he was the only one getting money, he bought kill steal items and in the end after we lost he boasted about his score ratio. Terrible experience. =/

Edit :
You either quit a noob feeder, bitching about the rude children in the community,
Or you play long enough to rage at noobs feeders in your community.

I must be wierd, because in ME3 multiplayer, I actually preferred it and found it hilarious whenever my teammates were useless. Mainly because as an Infiltrator with a Mantis X (I started as a Vanguard until I realised how op the Infiltrator was) I was confidant enough in my abilities to solo silver, so every time I got a team that was useless, who ran off and got themselves killed whilst surrounded by enemies so I couldn't get to them and res them, I would just calmly continue killing them off with cloaked headshots. I didn't care if it took 10 minutes to finish the wave, I would make them sit there and watch me pro it up, cloak, shoot, move to new cover, repeat.

The only downside to being the only Infiltrator left standing was that your cloak stops working as a cloak and enemies can now see you all the time, but the damage bonus it gives was enough to 1 shot a lot of stuff, and seriously damage everything else, so the only real problem is you have to move after every shot, but as long as you keep aware of your surroundings it's pretty easy to survive.

So yeah, it was pretty funny to make 3 other people watch as I kill everything, without ever getting into any real danger, knowing that they must be pretty annoyed that they died against these same enemies. Even funnier if they all died again in another round later on, because you're just basically rubbing it in.

I used to get shit teams quite a lot when I played CoD:WaW a lot. I never considered myself a particularly great player (although by the end of one summer I was pretty boss), but I frequently had to carry the team. You would always get idiots standing in front of the enemy tanks and trying to take it down with a semi-auto, or keep running out into the line of fire of a sniper that had been there the whole game or something. For some weird reason people hide when their team is losing, which I really don't understand. Why don't you just quit?

Just watch Battlefield Friends on youtube.

Random teams in Starcraft 2 will make you bleed. Most of them suck SUPER bad at first (sometimes you are put against an arranged team with communication) and then when you rating goes up and you are not single-handedly carrying a 3v3 match (where your opponents have NO comparatively good player ) you suddenly get a shitton of masters players on your team who insult you for sucking balls non-stop and even harass you after the game for making them lose -.- Middle-ground is hard to notice in team games as they are SO FUCKING ERRATIC.

Arranged teams can be worse though, I am either best or tie best among my friends atm, with some of them being considerably worse than me, and when they ask me to alter my strategy (which overpowers our opponents COMPLETELY) to fit into their (stupid) plan I get pissed off to no end... with my friends who decided retard is the flavour of the day.
Just for reference: I go 14 gas 14 pool as zerg into MASS ling (we rush, team games are always rushes >.<), my one friend uses photon cannons, and then the third guy is variable (as in could be two people both of whom troll and change plans frequently). A I am asked to make a very early spawning pool... to support my cannon-rushing not so good friend... at the cost of my massively powerful strategy... he is cannon-rushing... A TERRAN -.- Cannons are static defence (or offence) and terrans can fly their buildings away. The flaws of this plan and problems with me sacrificing my game plan here should be obvious.

In Dawn of War II last stand there are two kind of useless the new players who suck because they are new to the game and low level, that I understand and I'll try to help them as much as I can but then there are the ones who think they are so fucking badass and go all "grrr i'm dirty Harry grrrr" and then they die and blame others for not helping them out, wtf if you run to the other side of the map away from our fortified position into enemy horde then yes you will fucking die you fucking idiot.

Also Starcraft II I have played 3v3 co-op against hard and very hard AI lately and about every 5th game goes tits up because one player just sits in their base with a shit load of units and won't come if others need help.

TF2 don't know the name but the map with the ghosts and control point in the middle, we had to hold it for 10 mins, and let it be said I'm pretty nooby at TF2. So game begins I run to the point as heavy and capture it and hold it almost single handedly about 7 mins, I had help but not much, so some team mates call for medic, mostly other heavies and because they have now all gathered on the point I say OK and go change for medic if I come back everybody is dead and there are 2 enemy engineers with tier 2 turrets and some heavies and pyros on the point we never go over 8 mins of capture, everybody blames me.

I'm sorry I had to turn down your games earlier D: I feel guilty now!

I had an Ezreal jungle the other day. It did not end well for us. He fed and fed hard. I was doing well, my bot lane was doing well. Then Ezreal fed mid and the opposite jungler. It was just terrible

I remember playing a match with a jungle Ez a few days ago. Wonder if it was the same guy (or game)?

Resistance 2 - especially playing with Superhuman level difficulty. Those that have played it will know that the soldier (usually what I play as) will be standing semi-in the open with shields up and shooting away at everything, while the Spec Ops feed them ammo to keep the shields up. The healer revives them WHEN things go south (because they will). Everyone can stay behind the shields if they want to kill stuff too without getting hurt.

Its particularly annoying when someone playing as a Spec Ops doesn't know that they need to be giving the soldiers ammo - especially in Superhuman difficulty!!

"Alright guys, trivia question! Why are we all hiding behind cover, NOT shooting at them and waiting for them to flood around us in a bloody massacre? Spec Ops? Do you have any suggestions!?"

 

[Zenn3k]

Useless teammates are basically why I try to avoid any and all multiplayer gaming these days.

Yet Devs want to push this experience onto us by making shit single player modes or just ignoring single player entirely.

The worst part of multiplayer is the multiple players :/

 

[spartandude]

one of my friends tried to get into stragety games and my god is he just TERRIBLE at RTS games, now while im no expert (in fact im bellow average) he just cant do it at all. i mean seriously his brain just switches off and he tries to turtle in EVERY game. his idea of a zerg rush happened after i got several banshees in the air

I was playing APB Reloaded once, and it was a delivery mission. My team and I had to get a drug briefcase to the drop point within a certain amount of time or we lost, and the cops had to get the briefcase to the evidence lockup. It was basically capture the flag. The gun-play in that game is standard at best and needlessly frustrating at worst, so the mission felt like it was taking forever. Then, once we have made significant progress toward our goal, the guy with the case gets killed. Someone else on my team picked it up, AND STARTED RUNNING THE WRONG WAY, TOWARD THE OTHER TEAM'S GOAL. I didn't have a mic so I could only stop him by killing him, which I did, then he wouldn't stop banging on about it even after I explained the reason.

Asshole.

That would be amazing if it were the same game. It was in EUW, I was playing Riven or Vi in top lane and there was a Draven in bot lane. It could be the same guy though.

 

[PoolCleaningRobot]

Honestly, I like having a shitty team. It makes me feel better about myself

 

[Vladimir Eremeyev]

Can someone tell me, why team I join is always incompetent and opposite plays like a pro. Dota 2, CODBO2, WOT, you name it.
I'm not a pro myself but not a useless load. About average with lucky killstreaks now and then. And I'm sure as hell not pulling team down.

Do I have aura of fail around me or what?
For example, if we talk Dota 2; If there's a Pudge on our team his hooks will be THE WORST HOOKS EVER. OF ALL TIME.
Yet if THE SAME PERSON would be on the opposite team and he picks Pudge he will have GODLIKE hooks and ultimate teamwork.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYY

P.S. Anyone have the same problem?

Perhaps it's "the chain is as strong as the weakest link" theory in action? (lol, Pudge joke, lol)
I've noticed that in 5-man team MOBAS that if the 4 v 4 is pretty much equal, then the outcome of the game is pretty much determined by the skill of the last guy on the team(s). I imagine a lot of other games are determined like that but with higher number ratios taken into the equation (TF2 sweeps are usually caused by an upwards of three people picking the wrong class).

If you have one REALLY good person on your team, three averages and one bad then you're probably going to win against a team that has four averages and one bad or three averages and two bad. Even that average Pudge will seem like a god when pit against two people of lower skill.

 

[SadisticBrownie]

League's full of retards, yes. I have my fair share of shitty games too.
One of my friends gets furious when people play badly on it, and that annoys me more than people playing shitty. When it boils down to it, it's just a game.

 

[Godhead]

Those damn assholes who play nothing but Archers in chivalry. WE HAVE 1 KNIEHGT, 2 VANGUARDS, AND NO MAN AT ARMS. WHY THE HELL DO WE NEED 8 ARCHERS? *ahem* Seriously you guys, this is almost as bad when I used to play Tribes: Ascend and everybody else was either a sentinel or a pathfinder. I mean it's not like we need HoFs or flag disruption or anything. (even know that game haunts me so)

 

[Pat8u]

I really can't judge other people on my team because in every game I always assume I'm bad and apologize when the game is lost to our team even if wasn't technically my fault... One exception is the GW2 suicide room in COF grrr stupid teammates for not sacrificing themselves fast enough, why don't people understand that asz soon as you die you have to respawn and wait for the next group to die before going in (Can anyone who plays GW2 currently(I stopped becasue my computer overheats too much) tell me if that dungeon has been nerfed)
