I would say something like Krazy's Anime uPick, but I don't think the playerlist was that competent. I think would be something like a MU game that just ended.

Like, if I could only play with RC clones, for example, that would be awesome.
Shitty I guess, though I'm still not sure how town!RC would try to get scum!RC lynched.

I can't even imagine 10 town!RCs fighting 3 scum!RCs

Mafia is a fun thought exercise

That's about it really

This is a vastly egotistical thing to say, Nancy

Towns live and die together.

Nobody is exempt from it.

I started playing league of legends again recently

The teammates I got a month ago that complain about the rest of the team are hilarious... and also still at the same skill level. I am well above them now.

If you can't work around worse players or people that are playing worse than you, then you can't really say you've earned more than them. If you learn to work with it, you get better personally and it's easier to stomach having to in the first place.

Complaining about it is both useless and not productive. There are ways to work around it that are effective, you just need to find them.

Focus on your own mistakes and ignore everybody else's

I've noticed that playerlist with almost only high tier players are generally shitfests.

The theory I have is because it's easier for players to convincingly come together when there's either already some slots that are easy to work with for multiple players or a weaker slot that is easier to read.

Rapport is kind of important for towns to function and having too many players that have both strong towngames and scumgames really nerfs how fast this can build at the best of times.
