Why does this happen to me? How do I close out a game like this? I'm so annoyed, that's an hour of my life I won't get back. Didn't even get a chest from it and I lobbied with 5 people, ugh. I did say at one point to group mid or try to take another inhib when mid's was down but I have no idea what to do half the time. Annoying as fuck.
Depends on what specifically happened in the game.
In general, after laning phase, you should always be fighting over or near an objective, and post-fight you should always be taking the objective if you won. Baron's an objective, dragon's an objective, turrets are objectives. Don't try to take Baron unless you already won a fight, but you can go near it and fight about it.
One of the important things I think people miss in low ELO is the importance of wave control. A turret that doesn't have one of your waves near it is not actually an objective, because you can't take it. So fighting when all waves are pushing towards you is generally not a great idea, because if you lose the fight you can lose multiple towers, and if you win the fight you can't actually get anything. This might contribute to feeling like you don't know what to do -- if your waves are always in the wrong place nothing looks available. You need to make sure somebody on your team is making regular trips to push every lane out hard so that your waves will be positioned well, so if you're not about to fight, go push a lane.
One unorthodox way to think about League of Legends is that the primary objective is to push your minion wave into the enemy nexus.

I am cursed to have the dumbest team comps. Jhin mid. Ori bot lane. Nothing but squishy team. Then they blame me (jungle) because Vi clears us like no one's business.
Team wanted to report me because I tried to surrender at 20, and when they refused I hung out at fountain. Fuck 'em. We lost every lane. Top lane bitched that because he was ganked once he lost his lane. He kept saying it over and over in all chat. It was all just bad. Not wasting my time and energy on that shite. I'd rather surf the internet and watch porn while I wait for game to end.

They do seem to come out of nowhere, but now I'm anticipating people complaining about matches dragging on.

My favorite is when a teammate gets ganked one time and goes "FFS I'm getting camped- do something useless JG"
Nashors Tooth/Fervor of Battle Orianna bot lane is fun as hell

This is how lucky my friend and I are---we just played an amazing game after and destroyed. And our current game? "HOLIDAY" is mid lane. That was the Teemo that complained about getting ganked once, and I'm playing another game with him. Why, Riot? Are there no other players out there!?
And he just picked Tahm mid. I HATE MY LIFE.
lmao. This is pretty good. I would pay for "DEFINITELY NOT A WARD"
Honestly I thought they'd make it so if you played a game or something during the holiday you'd get a special chest and key to unlock the skin, to push people into Hextech Crafting a bit more.
Or just make it like 5 RP, 99.999999% off or some joke.
I do not think they will be a drastic change. Just a slightly more smoothed curve.

I was really hoping Draven Draven would be 25rp or something. :/ But hey, I don't actually play Draven so I'll deal with it.

Why is Baron the panic button for teams?
"All right. We're doing good. Let's keep playing it smart. Stick together. We got this."
Enemy team goes near Baron:
"Fire everything! Flash in! Break formation! OASJDFKSJAFASDF"
How do you guys not drink when playing League? Or is that the secret I'm missing?

I wasn't, but in my last game there was a guy on my team and one on enemy team complaining about lag spikes.

If you win baron you win the games, so you go all out.

I agree it's important, but instead of walking around (as we were right near when they started with wards on it) 2 people on my team flashed right into the pit while the others were walking around. They got ripped apart, and our formation was completely banged. It was frustrating because we went from playing awful to finally pulling it together. Then a Baron fight broke out and that cool, calm, and collected mindset that was taking us back from a loss suddenly flopped right out the window.
Ayy I was right
Oh lord. I wish this was real.

500 RP for the default Draven skin with a big head? Yeah no thanks
Not really. He doesn't fit in the current meta at all. Top is all about abusing Grasp and clearing waves at the moment.
But it's 90% off at that price deal of the century

Tank Ekko is legit broken, anyone who thinks he doesn't need a nerf is crazy.
Or nerf what's actual making this happen (sunfire, IBG, grasp) first and then sort out individual champion balance afterwards. We don't need another cinderhulk situation. As it is I'm concerned that Naut, Poppy, etc. are about to get Sejuani'ed.
All that's going to happen is another "this guys not a tank but I'll build him tank anyways" champion will
show up in his place. How many months do this trend need to happen before the balance team wises up?
And revert Ekko's buffs after that's done. So goddamn unnecessary.
Neither do I to be honest, but I assume the community at large will whine.

nah, it's not all itemisation, having played it. Building tank basically means Ekko has 0 weaknesses. He does a lot of damage, is incredibly mobile and is extremely hard to take down. He becomes an unkillable, cc chaining machine that does absurd damage considering.
would take damage out of his passive and W passive and put it into AP ratios or something. as long as he gets so much free damage he can build tank and remove any weaknesses his kit has.

So, my top Jayce got wrecked by a top Taric. Taric was like 5/1 at one point. For w/e reason Jayce started building tank. We won because they got careless.
Taric top good or just bad game for the Jayce?
=============
Does Riot list the total damage of things like dft/tlord does at the end of a game?

It has a lot to do with itemization, but yes Ekko's damage should be shifted from base to AP. My concern is that more often than not when Riot does those sorts of shifts they undershoot the AP ratio increase.
Ekko should be building defensive AP items, a Diana-esque build.
Barring that you remove the W passive and give damage to his active W, or shift the execute damage elsewhere in his kit, but that's rework territory and I doubt Riot wants to go there on an otherwise healthy kit.

Honestly, i really think Riot should start looking at making big balance passes in between splits. Not as big as preseason stuff but bigger than their normal patch cycles. The game has some annoying issues that are taking too long to be solved because Riot keeps trying to find the best way to go about them but usually the solution is so simple and it's what they end up doing anyways - death timers for example.
Aren't we getting Mage update soon?

I don't mean targeted updates at roles with problems but a sort of uhh "general competitive" type of balance pass. The type of patch they do for Worlds but a bit more often than once a year, ya know?

Update failed. How annoying.

Ohhhh noooooooooooo.
Nope. Just bad Jayce. I played Taric top back in golden age for him, he should always lose to a ranged champ.
I think stonewall008 covered this best in a video. Riot seem far too focus on the pro game balance then the majority play balance. Just because Rengar seems balanced on release against Diamond+ players doesn't mean he isn't unbalanced as all hell in the lower ranks.
