Carrying @Excavatus are we?

Hahaha well than they both get to brag about how they carried. ;) Such a scenario is extremely rare though and often those two players are in a division or something. Atleast the times ive seen that happen, that was the case. Since it was me and a buddy ghehe. But for example for myself: if i did 2500bxp and the second guy did 2200 bxp and the third guy did 2000 bxp, I wouldnt say I carried the game. I simply had a good game. But just as with all other things in this game, that depends on your own perspective. For some players 2500 bxp at TX seems unreachable, for me anything below is just an average game.

Most definitely! Cracker of a game! True, but that often doesn't show in the end result. We've all played numerous games where afterwards you thought to yourself "well if I hadn't done X than their team would have won." in which case you technically "carried". But you see, everyone's contributions are vital to a team in order to win. But that doesn't mean anyone on the team carried.

You contributed a lot but I wouldn't necessarily say you carried. Grats on the solo warrior tho.

If someone does way more than the number two in a win its not a carry? The win is never given for free, and if one player did way more than the #2 & #3 than it certainly is a carry. He put himself in a position where he could deal lots of damage for a long period of time. That can also be lucky. Being in the right place at the right time. I think of a player who carries as one who makes good decisions for the entirety of the game, not just the final moments.

After the introduction of subs i'd like to switch my answer to 1.

AFK DD getting a solo warrior because his team killed almost the entire enemy team and capped all the caps? "Carry"? No. A move or play the secures the win? Yes. Imo a carry is when someone does way more than the second placed player in a won game. F.e. 50% BXP difference and plenty of kills.

F2?

Where can I apply!?

Better whip that wallet out my friend!

1 sec to google but okay. You lazy ******

Oh, you sweet summer child...

Luckily some things never change.

I don't think we're sidetracked at all. I think you're blinded by your own confirmation bias, especially feeded by installing MMM. Its unreliable and doesn't say anything about peoples performance in that specific match. The only thing it does is imprinting a biased prediction about the matchoutcome in your head. You won? You carried the team. You lost? Team was bad. And besides all of this, I think it is incredibly egocentric to think that WeeGee is on a personal crusade to give you the worst matchmaking ever. Learn when to quit. Dont push through if you're on a bad streak. As you've stated yourself: You're not the most level-headed gamer out there. So losses probably trigger you quite quickly, resulting in even more losses, etc.etc.

Meanwhile OP is on a steady +-60% solo winrate....
