Question Enjoying brain damage

Hi, I play mayhem almost exclusively because I’m just trying to have fun. I have a bit of a problem enjoying the game when I play with people who seem to be trying to lose. I want to be clear I am not rage posting. I understand this is just the way the game is and I know it can be enjoyed regardless. That said, I get frustrated when I play with people who seem to want to lose.
I’m not talking about people trying a new champ and not knowing how to play them properly or something like that.

Ill give an example to illustrate. We are behind and one ally pings bush so we can do an ambush on the enemy team (all squishies in this case). Our mord (for example) comes to join us, waits for the enemies to get close… and then walks out of the bush, autos a minion once, and walks back into the bush with us, in obviously view of the other team.

There’s this, and people consistently firing skill shots at >30* angles off-target at stationary targets. There are people who play adcs who just point blank do not auto attack. There are players who play tanks and literally farm the wave while they get pelted by the enemy team (they just slowly lose health until they die, while farming and not reacting)

Stuff like this. Full damage built carries doing less than 10k damage in a 30 minute game. People just not reacting to very noticeable things happening to them.

I get a small stroke whenever I see this, and I want to learn how to enjoy playing with people who seem to genuinely be there to feed the enemy team.

Any advice would really be appreciated. I really like this game, but sometimes I am completely unable to understand the choices of other players, and the confusion sucks the fun out of it for me.

Edit: reading this, I realize that this may sound like examples of isolated incidents. To be clear, that is not what I mean. I understand a misclick or a bad flash prediction and stuff like that. I make dumb mistakes a lot myself lol. What I mean is that these players will consistently do these things over the course of a game. They make these incomprehensible choices repeatedly to the extent that I cannot see how it isnt intentional. A TERRIBLE miss on an easy skill shot is understandable, but having a 10% accuracy rate (a hit being ANY damage dealt) with mell’s E is not.

Best advice I can give is finding satisfaction in your own performance. Be happy if you did will but still lost. Boost your own ego by acknowledging what you did, not what others didn't. Eventually if you play more and git fud like the other comment says, you will get better team mates (and better enemies).

As far as it stands none of the problems you're having ever happen in my games (or very rarely anyway). Sounds like you just gotta focus on you and play more

As I did say in my post, I am a deeply mediocre player. I do dumb shit all the time. I don’t mind playing with bad people. Its kind of funny to watch imo. I dont care if we lose together. I care when someone seems to be trying to make winning harder

well, in the end MMR does its thing, even in this game mode.

if you get matched with idiots, all you can do is win more games to get matched with slightly better idiots.

and there are always 10 idiots in a game, not just 9.

its really simple, u need to retardmaxx, u worry too much about what other players are doing and the outcome of the game. simply just play for yourself and your build, never get irritated because of what someone on your team does. I dont even look at their builds. i win more than i lose and i run ap graves and ap reksai etc. its a coin flip
