    There’s a thousand little unique skills, and they’re all important. Some of them include communicating with your team and managing team morale.

    Additionally you get matched up with 4 people who roughly have the same sum of skills, which almost certainly means a completely different makeup of skills

    So you notice your teammates screwing up all the things you’re better at, and you naturally overlook your teammates skills that don’t look like your own.

    This basically manifests as road rage where the driver doesn’t realize he is the traffic. It creates a situation where nearly all your teammates look like idiots compared to what you look for. Because you’re not looking at ALL the things.

      This reminds me of Overwatch so much. I usually played healer and it was all too common to watch the tanks and DPS being great at doing their own jobs, but terrible at doing them together. Then it’s just a feed machine until the game is over.

      It also doesn’t help that riot forces communication to be like as if driving a car, you can only ping and god forbid you ping the wrong player.

      You used to be able to type in the game but now typing is seen as troll and riot supports this, chat restricting and eventually players that type a number of msgs regardless of content
