Team Response in League of Legends

 Say you’re in the jungle. Say you’re on Hecarim the latest jungler to be added to the League of Legends. You find a not-so-friendly Udyr at your wraiths. You know you’d lose 1 on 1 because Udyr is ridiculously OP, but you stay and fight thinking that so close to your mid lane, surely your team will be able to respond faster than theirs.  Their mid and their support show up. Yours don't. You die.Ten seconds later, some bright young summoner says in chat, "WHYD U GO INTU A 3 v 1 NOOB?"

 You get angry at them and they get angry at you. This escalates into all out team rage, and if it’s a ranked game you or your teammates will probably give up. You might play out the rest of the game, but you spend the entire time arguing and expecting to lose.

 First, don’t let this be you. Don’t get mad at your teammates who seemingly “go into a 3v1” or worse. You probably only saw the end of the fight. League of Legends games are won and lost many times based on which team responds faster and better.

 You might think someone did something ridiculously dumb, but do you really believe the vast majority of players would knowingly try to solo vs three or more enemy champions?

 No. You’re teammates aren’t that dumb. Stop blaming them. You only saw the end of the fight. They didn’t know the other champs were there. You get angry and blame them but you should be mad at yourself. Don’t pull “Why did you engage, I wasn’t there!” You not being there is not your team’s fault. It’s yours, so watch the map and respond when your teammates are in trouble, and as always, stay classy.

 Note: This, of course, has never happened to me. Truly. For real. I swear.
