"Noob" is a relative term, and so the QQ'ing of players about noobs is short-sighted. If I lane against someone with 1650 ELO, I will probably feed. If I am the best player on my team, then I will probably not get much support from them either. So depending on the match-up I could go 0-5 early. Meanwhile I might consider that a success against an opponent that's so good I've seen them go 8-0 much earlier and take the tower and CP.
Also many times I am doing well early, like 4-1 or something, but my ally is getting beat by the opponent's pro player in lane, and that ally is 0-4. So I switch. Then, playing at a disadvantage I hold the lane and go to 5-4. This hurts my overall KDR in league, but if I don't do it then we lose the game. I'm okay with that. But I always sigh at how stupid players are that cry cry cry because someone with my ELO (usually over 1500) can have negative KDR. It's because players like you are so bad at team play you don't know how to bail out an ally.
There will always be better players, and every lane will have a winner and a loser. To call the loser in a lane "noob" is really just childish and short-sighted. To define it by KDR is to ignore lane match-ups and play style. Tracking assists will now be a big help with that.
How about this: instead of using the vague word "noob", you say exactly what you think is game-breaking. And make sure it's not something that is found in every game.
