League of Legends Season One is well underway, and by now if you've tried the insanity that is the 5v5 solo ranked game, you've probably met some of these epic League of Legends personalities.
1) The Clueless Captain. Somehow this guy got picked to do your banning, and how this individual got to be level 30 is anyone's guess. Captain clueless goes right ahead and promptly lays your team bans on Kassadin and Veigar.
20 minutes later as Heimerdinger, Shen, and Xin Zhao lay waste to your base, your team will likely inform your captain that he should probably do some very bad things to himself.
2) The Solo Schizophrenic. This guy will select a carry. not say a word during the hero selection process and then begin spamming "mid. mid. mid. solo mid OMG go top GET OUT OF MY LANE mid mid mid." The opposing mid champion will take out our solo superman roughly one minute into the game. And then again at the three minute mark.
At this point, the individual will begin screaming for help, rage, and leave if it is not given. If help is given and somehow succeeds, our hero will scream to get out of his lane because you're stealing his experience and then proceed to feed and leave the game anyway.
This individual is a fearsome factor for ranked solo games and is advised that either you or the friend you play with take on the role of a strong middle lane carry for rising up the Season One ladder.
3) The guy who doesn't know "dodging" counts as a loss. This guy will do everything from demanding a certain champion to assigning other players in your game champions and roles. If people don't comply or his champion gets taken, he'll simply leave the game before it starts. What he doesn't know is that game "dodging" counts as a loss, and he's on the fast track to sub 500 rating.
4) "What champions can I play this week?" This wacky individual managed to play hundreds of League of Legends games without ever spending hard earned IP on champions, and as such spends much of his time learning champions he won't get to play again for months. These players are easily spotted by odd item builds and questions like "What abilities should I get?".
5) League of Legends Superstar, rating 1000. This guy knows everything about the game and isn't afraid to tell you and the rest of your teammates about it. What you're doing wrong, mostly. He's only in the 1000 bracket because he's been stuck with bads like you, and if he ever catches you trying to play a champion any differently than his Prima Guide says expect to hear about it for an hour or so, at which point the game will end and he's adding everyone in the game to his ignore list.
Season One has started off hot with new champions like Vladimir and Xin Zhao, and there's lots more in store for League of Legends soon. Have a player in your 5v5 League of Legends ranked game we missed? Let us know!

Hehe, this was very nice and so true :) You should also add players who get their friend in same que with their alt. account (which means he hasn't ever played LoL before) and for the whole match they do nothing but speak their romanian, spanish, french or whatever language beside english. Those guys are annoying, feeding, speaking language nobody understands and time-by-time raging to you "I tell you he did come no run away??? n0b!!1"
Omg non english people playing on american servers is soooo annoying. I remeber a game that a RL friend and I played, all 3 spoke a different language and they were typing something every 5 seconds. Yea, we lost that because we had no idea what was going on...
is even more funny is when your team doesnt get first blood you have someone who types OMFG NOOOB WTF GG GG!!!!!!!!! then proceeds to feed for vlad for 10 minutes
Got something to say?
