easily, when teamates argue in champ sel, or you get the afkers or the pure inters

Yes, every rank there are unwinnable games, you psychically (and maybe mentally lol) cannot win some games.

Only exception is Pro play

Disagree, unwinnable isn't a thing. People suck big time at macro and frustrations can just cost a player the game.

Its not common that it would happen, but that scenario is one of many other scenarios that can happen. And there is no way you can win that alone

#

Cringe players when they say "1v9" while literally getting help from your team

If you get your entire team fed by 10 mins because you're better than the enemies, then the game will not have a chance to be unwinnable.

I mean sure, but anything can happen. Maybe 2 players are having a lan party and their internet dies or one person gets a mental boom from a teammate stealing their CS/kill. Too much consideration to say a game will not have a chance to be unwinnable

#

Thats why I say Pro play is the only exception to games never being unwinnable.

Games wont be decided because of a player's mental or AFKing

obviously ppl in low elo become compelled to walk into a stupid fight and give 1k gold to some fortunate guy, but even then some games just feel lost from the beginning

If u know league, u already know, any decision u and the enemy team makes can be the best and worst decision of all, a lot of inconsistencies, not every decision u make is guaranteed, some things may look unwinnable but most of the time we dont actually...KNOW that.

yes, but its really the mindset that fucks with players
i just had a match where every lane lost, we were 26 to 47 and still won because we got elder and baron with an open nexus

#

one ff that was 1/4 when everyone was behind, and then we just kept on going until we won

#

some matches that are still winnable or arent completely lost can end up being a loss because of boredom

#

Absolutely, some games just aren't winnable. However, it's a shit excuse to just give up or open/sprinting it

It isn't important that if the game is winnable or not
It's important if its enjoyable or not

#

OK u might actually win but if you are either farming or just dying in fights you aren't having fun

Yes; it’s called adc ego.

Every game is winnable, it's just a matter of probabilities
If you want to have some fun you could probably put assign a utility score to a point of LP and compare it to the expected utility of playing the game out

#

Then you compare (LP loss for certain + not having to play it out) with (some expected LP loss (which isn't as bad) + having to play it out)

Every time a thread has "game unwinnable" every single ego kid has to come out and say "well I carried a nearly impossible game before, so, invalid" as if your experience is the absolute same as others, which ironically means you believe you're the same yet you act entitled Think

I mean, even Riot kinda confirms it; if your team is trailing, you’re likely to lose anyways; the chances of a comeback are extremely low by Riot’s own data. This is why they’re making FF require 4 votes.
