I played with a really bad Oak the other day... which is fine, we all had to learn sometime right?

It was funny though, I was QOT and was locking the gold flag out of range and he comes along and starts attacking one of the two towers on Cat.  Its way too early to push... plus we're down quite a few kills but oh well so I keep him shielded until the enemy team comes along when I tell him to run.  He replies "Don't worry, I'm a suicide Oak!" and continues to attack the tower until he's dead and last stand takes effect.  He then rises from the dead and keeps attacking the tower... but doesn't destroy it.

I've had the bad players who blame their teammates, but rarely with so much drama.

My worst was in a pantheon match, my TB teammate did not move for about 2 minutes.  I was on the verge of quitting when he started moving, so I think "Maybe we can come back"  All he ever did was stand between our first 2 towers and autoattack, or protect our health crystal for another extended stay.

Just the other day had a teammate saying it was his first match.  My other teammate and I convinced him out of Rook, so he went Queen.  He focused on shield and support that match and (though the other team wasn't expressly bad) we pulled a win.  I was pleased.  (He did get the priest creep after I suggested he get priest minions.  Since it was after the patch it wasn't a disasterous feed-the-other-team, it was just amusing.)

Words out of my mouth... reading these stories makes me feel really really lucky. I had my share of weak teammates and ragequitters of course, and i've had opponents call me stupid and berate me then split away when we were about to win (and take the win alone with everyone else taking a dc loss - still not sure it was not intentional)

But nothing out of the extremes i read here. I hope i can keep dodging that bullet in the future as well.

I've been very lucky too, the vast majority of people I've played with have been pretty civil.  There was one game, a 3v3, I was playing Sedna.  My two teammates would go into battles, then BOTH start typing "HEAL".  Of course I was healing them, as fast as my cooldown would allow, but no matter which one I healed, the other one would get mad at me and type "Why did'nt you heal me!".  Perhaps if they had "Zero Cooldown" and "Unlimited Mana" items in the Artifact Shop, I would have been able to keep them from getting upset. . .

I once had a game with an inexperienced Sedna player. We lost the game partly because of him buying priests early. Nothing new, so I told him that doing so is not exactly a winning strategy.

To my surprise he apologized for letting me down and admitted not knowing Sedna inside out yet.

This was proof for me that he was a noob. Experienced players might play as bad as him, but they usually give you the STFU routine when you dare criticize their stellar performance.

I had a Queen of Thorns as a teammate that never got bramble shield

Actually, everyone I played with this tournament was competant

The worst one was an UB cant remember his name, but he kept feeding the enemy team, but he was good spirited about it.

Also an erebus with 500 ping was annoying, odly enough we still won even though he was a good 7-8 lvls behind everyone else and we were fighting the twin Reg premade srdave srbob or whatever their names were. Took some time though.

Had a game where it was me (UB) + Rook + Sedna. Sedna always kept herself on the other side of the map and many times we were left fighting off 2v3 (they were rook/oak/sedna). Needless to say, they used teamwork and our Sedna didn't bother coming over to be with us. When the Sedna did come over, we would easily drive them off and/or kill them... but that happened like.. twice? He would also stop with 500 health and write "Run" to the rook while he was being gang banged by 3 speed stackers

Too busy giving tips the entire game instead of playing with us as a team. When our Rook got a crash to desktop I just said gg and quit

During the Pantheon I played with a Sedna player who didn't heal anyone but himself.  He just went around trying to destroy fortresses all through the game.

A while back I played with a QoT who didn't know Bramble Shield could work on allies when I asked why he wasn't helping us out in combat.  I don't mind playing with new players at all, but I get irked when people don't play as a team, as the case with the Sedna player.

One of my favorites was on Cata when the game first came out.  I was an Oak playing with an ooze UB.  We were doing pretty well right up until the middle of the game.  The UB clearly was not going for a proper build, and he started dying at frequent intervals.  I didn't really care, I just thought maybe he was trying to figure a build out.  I decided I would start baby sitting with shield and whatever else I could.  At one point he is being double teamed by a rook and a QoT.  They weren't doing too much damage to him at the time, but were certainly wearing him down.  As he was fighting, he wasted a few good seconds to type "hit me with shield, im going to run."  He starts to run away with extremely low health, and I wait until the last possible second to hit him behind our lines.  It works, he's home free.  Then I see his death up top, and I'm extremely puzzled by this.  Turns out he turned on ooze because he "was afraid they were going to gank him from behind."  He then proceeds to rage on me for not shielding him a second time, then quits.  I was a little amused by this, but way more confused than anything.  

The worst games, however, are playing with ragers and kids with big egos.  But I guess you'll have that in any game...

Hehe some real nice storys here.

Im pretty new myself .... as ive just recently got my connection going so i can play online.

Played 6 games online so far. all 3 V 3 and i lost all of them... But i am pretty sure i wasnt the cause...

The 15 deaths UB in my last match, who thinks escaping at 200 hp from a sniper(there were 2) reg is an awesome plan because he has a wand of speed

The tower rook who had a nice forest going on and then decided he would go for a walk right into a mine field, then some towers of the oposing rook and a TB was moving in. it wasnt till after the rain of ice on his head, all the mines exploding and the towers opening fire that it dawned to him that escape was a good option. Sadly he used a teleport scroll and was dead (had he moved out of the towers hed be fine tho)

The regulus who likes to snipe full HP gods with his rank 2 snipe when most the guys were running around with 5K+ hp

Ah well... i will win a game soon i hope

I was in the game with you, playing your TB teammate. His name was lukasbradley, and he was probably the best "first timer" I've played with. He started out shielding me, allowing me to stay in lane much longer. I was a bit nervous when he chose QoT (but not as nervous if he had kept Rook), but he took instruction well, and we also got lucky cuz the other team wasn't very good, imo. It was actually a very good game, and poor danomax ragequit, thinking we were a premade.

Checking his history, he lied to us! It was his SECOND game...

I had an oak trying to kill me (I was ice TB with frost aura, sludge trinket and HP stacking) so not only was he doing 30% less damage, I was also a lot  higher in HP and his attack was also slow by the frost aura.  He started running back.  NP I followed him into his towers.  He wanted to use a quick battle potion but instead dropped it.  I killed him and picked up the potion and was wondering WTH he gave me a potion.  My whole team laughed on that one.  Then I saw him a second time.. He proceeded to try to kill me the same way.. this time he almost killed me, I followed him into his towers, drank his potion and killed him again.  It was extremely hilarious.  I survived that one.
