I type "???" in the chat and I'm waiting for an explanation that will probably never come I mutate and continue to farm as if nothing had happened. It no longer exists. I mentally note his positioning error to talk to him about it at the end of the game It happens to everyone. I'm focusing on my next wave.

I explain to him via chat everything a jungler is supposed to do, in capital letters to make sure he reads He no longer exists for me. I play solo like there's no jungle in this game. I calmly explain to him why his current path is not optimal according to the objectives of the map I ward more, I play safe and I wait for the next gank. It will come.

You ping the baron 12 times and you write "GO BARON ????? YOU DON'T SEE THE TIMER???" You go split push on your side. The team can do whatever they want. You explain in the chat the strategic value of the baron in your current win window You sit back and wait for someone to take the initiative. The next spawn will be for you.

You join the debate and add your own examples of his mistakes during the game You don't say anything. Neither for nor against. You click on replay.
