WTF, I guess I gotta shut down my topless twitch stream. There goes my beer money.

I was talking with Phillip in the client, and I thought I'd format and type some of the tips in this thread:
Do your allies walk into the enemies' unwarded jungle and die?
Buy wards and ward their jungle, your allies are usually less likely to walk in there if they see 3 enemies in the jungle. Your trinket wards are not enough.
Do your allies get killed in river or your own jungle?
Buy pink wards to cover the entrances of your jungle, it will help. Also use a sweeper to remove enemy wards in the jungle.
Dragon is up in 1 minute, your allies wait until 15 seconds before it spawns to recall.
Try writing something like this in advance, people are more likely to do it if you tell them a good play in advance:
"1 min to drake, recall now if you need to recall before drake."
This applies to other objectives as well, people are slightly more likely to follow your plan if you write it in advance.
Obviously this won't instantly make you win all your games, but it can be enough to tip the scales in those games you only lose because people get picked off.

Dunno, I would literally prefer to be toxic to bad players on my team and lose than have to babysit them to win. Like, of course I'll buy wards and place them in areas I think are important, but I'm not gonna place them just because teammates are wandering into the jungle. I've never seen teammates recall before dragon spawn, so I had no idea that was an issue.

Playing Hexakill, someone suggests picking all supports. We end up with Lux, Lulu, Sona, Blitz, Leona, and Fiddle. Their team has Kat and Yi. We lose.
Also something interesting happened. I was Draining someone and Blitz hooked him back towards me, but it broke my Drain. I guess the hook breaks all channels, even friendly ones.

I think the majority of people would rather win then lose.
I guess you haven't played much ranked.
I've played a 150 or so games and I would rather have won all 150 of them then lose any of them.

yup. I'd rather win my games than have a shitty attitude and be a chore to play with.
You'd be surprised then. I've seen people leave over not getting blue buffs. Not saying that's right or anything, but it's something that you will encounter eventually. 150 games is nothing.

Spam Q, easy.
I don't understand what you're arguing. If someone afk's there's nothing I can do about it, but placing good wards and giving my team a chance to win is within my control and I'd rather attempt to get a win then be toxic to the people who are making mistakes.
That's for you. Not the whole of ranked.

I still can't forget the zed that survived a gank with 100hp because he overextended in top and escaped into enemy jungle, only to then later died by staying in the jungle and not trying to recall or continue fleeing. This happened 15 seconds apart from each other.
Ah, I see what you're saying. I extrapolate the thought process of this thread out to the playerbase more often then I should.
Yeah, this thread is a pretty bad sample of the league community. Personally I'm not toxic ingame to teammates (I sure am out of game), and if someone is getting caught I'll just ping them to get back. Saying something like "Zed, please say with us, Dragon is spawning" is too much for me.
Babysitting is what you need to do to carry in some games. If you'd rather not win some extra games by putting effort into carrying then that's fine.
You should be really happy if you never missed an objective because someone recalled at a bad time.
I put my effort in champ select. I just avoid stuff like Zed.

Y u picking siver then
Because Sivir is really good with/against those idiots who try to wander the jungle.
That's a really good thing too, it is relatively uncommon for people to consider their own team comp before picking. Doing it in game as well does help if you want to improve further.
Bald confirmed.

How is Vi doing on the PBE jungle?

I was gonna say fat, but this is a bit more diplomatic.
I'm dressed as gragas every day.
Just peachy on clearing the first few buffs. Jungle items seem worse on her than before since neither the AD nor the HP enchant offers CDR for her long early level ult CD. That might not be that big of a problem though. Since the jungle items no longer offer a gold generating bonus, I'm not sure whether or not buying the enchants are rush purchases. If you consider that you'll be buying a machete upgrade anyways those items definitely become cost effective, but I can see myself buying a kindlegem before completing the HP enchant on Nautilus for example. Similarly, Vi could dip into a brutalizer before completing the AD/HP enchants. It's not like the cost effectiveness disappears because you delayed buying the enchantments, unlike the current jungle items.
There isn't a strong jungler who's going to fall from the changes, or even shift much at all really. S5 jungle has a larger impact on the effectiveness of mid and lower tier junglers.
same old vi, more or less.
I thought you hate that skin -_-.
NOT YET
I mean.. I could stand to lose a couple pounds or 20
but you know what they say.. rather have a keg than a 6 pack ho ho ho
Actually won with the AD TF lol, but not really because he carried or anything (majority of the kills were him porting and last hitting -_-). I played Janna because well I've been meaning to practice with her. Got him fed early on, only to have him overextend. I didn't back and didn't have mana to ult, and only managed to get enough mana to ult after he was dead (Hecarim came).
Guy totally lost it, said he didn't want to lane with this Janna etc. So he went mid and Lissandra came bot. Lissandra was really nice and thanks to the solo-lane EXP, she got fed some kills bot too.
I just don't understand mentality of some players though. We get a double kill, and Twisted Fate, instead of shoving to tower, just backs? Like, he wasn't even half HP and I had river warded? Or when we killed botlane + Hecarim and I'm pinging Dragon and it literally took Kha'zix an eternity to react... Both dragons happened after I almost had to spam for it. ;x
Is this something common? People not cashing in on opportunities? I don't know if it's because I watch streamers/LCS but I am kinda obsessed on objectives and sometimes I might disregard (too much?) kills.

Like I said... stomp or get stomped in this game mode wtf.

It's called Custom Robo.
It's gotta be waifus though.
It'll pass
You should always shove to tower, but you shouldn't always kill tower. Killing tower basically means that you have less access to farm, and you have less of an ability to deny an enemy's farm. If you're super far ahead, and you're team doesn't need you, keep tower alive.
I think I liked Gotcha Force better.
