So, today I decided to play a round of League of Legends in the PvP, Normal 5v5 matchmaking que. I watched as positions were eaten up in the other four slots by 'Vayne', 'Sion', 'Renekton', and 'Nunu'. So, I spent a little while deciding on what our team needed and went, 'Ah, someone to hold them in place during team fights for Nunu to drop his ultimate.' Settling upon 'Amumu' that gave us a fairly tanky team with adequate burst damage and a bounty of AoE effects.
Here's a fair time to list their champions, but no URL links for these: Amumu, Nocturne, Fiddlesticks, Vladimir, and Master Yi. (This gives them a great advantage in single-target kills, but hinders them in them slightly in team fighting ability.)
Well, the match starts off, they have a disconnected Fiddlesticks and a jungler, so they have one person on each lane. Myself and Renekton went top (against Vladimir) as Sion wanted to solo lane (against Amumu). Our Vayne went mid (against their Master Yi) and the ball got to rolling. Laning is going smoothly against Vlad, Renekton even chalked up a first blood with the help of my bandage toss, but he got hot-headed and started auto-attacking minions, always keeping Vlad in the safety of his tower and us at risk of being ambushed. Eventually their Fiddlesticks returns and level four rolls around.
This is when, to say it lightly, the shit started hitting the fan. Our Vayne spent a fair deal of time complaining about not being warned when she got herself killed by lingering and pushing too hard on mid and getting ganked once or twice by their jungling Nocturne. Eventually our Nunu comes to top to gank Vlad, this idiot runs out early before Vlad even has a chance to move away from his tower, gets hit by the tower's auto-attack and runs back into the bushes, eventually the minions catch up, we go in for a kill, chalk it up, but their Vlad scored a double-kill on the other two in the process, and I'm somehow at fault for not dying too. Anyways, things roll along for a while longer, Sion is getting arrogant down on bot, gets himself killed twice by their Amumu when Master yi pops out for a gank.
All the while I've finished my second shopping trip, and gone towards mid (having seen three champions moving in on it against our lone Vayne.) I get there, and for some reason unknown to me, our Vayne leaves, goes top and spends the next five minutes up there auto-attacking minions! (This being after top got pushed when Nocturne and Master Yi popped up.) At this point I'm sitting with 2 kills, 0 deaths, 3 assists. Solid, considering there has been absolutely zero team fighting cooperation because Vayne and Sion thought they were exempt to partaking in team based activities, and now standing alone, watching my former help running to top...to farm, as three enemy champions push mid with a wave of minions... I end up getting myself killed, but save the tower for several more minutes, enough that the rest of the team stopped sleeping and got there to push them back.
All this while I'm getting to see the team tossing insults at me, and my relatively neutral score, compared to their miserable, more deaths than kill ratios on the lot of them. Perhaps it's just my fuming, but if they're not grouping up properly for team fights (i.e. Vayne is auto-attacking minions while picking her nose, or Sion is off on bottom getting himself ganked AGAIN) and my Champion, Amumu, can only to his job properly during team fights, should it really be me their tossing insults at?
The enemy Amumu meanwhile got to chalk up plenty of kills/assists off of working with his allies, and as such acquired items far more rapidly than I could and then Sion (who was responsible for giving many of those assists/kills to their Amumu) tries to point out the major gap between our items (which, really, it wasn't all that great, he finished his Sunfire cape a whole two minutes before me, but then again he got his teammate's to work with him, instead of tottering about like they were Rambo.) All the while, I spent most of my time staring at Vayne's icon, roaming about randomly instead of doing anything remotely considered useful to the team without a word being aimed at her.
*Huff* End rant, and end of story, pretty much not playing PvP outside of a 3v3 arena in LoL anymore, less chances of finding myself royally screwed there.
