Negativity - The Domino Effect

Negative comments will not improve your teammates skill. In fact, you will note that a large portion of losses all start with thoughtless negative comments, or even childish name calling. Staying positive wins games. Not just in score, but in mind-set. If you are reading this thinking "This guy is dumb, what a noob.".... Then you are most likely the ones I am attempting to address. If you must make a comment, have it be a logical constructive one. Keeping your wits about yourself and staying professional can be difficult at times. Rise above the hate. If a troll gets you making troll comments back, they won. You are typing on your keyboard instead of taking an objective or eating some jungle ect,ect.

It can easily turn into a domino effect, one player saying something negative, one more tags on, it triggers another teammate.. All the sudden you have a teammate demotivated, maybe for making a tiny mistake.

Lets keep the game/community friendly and healthy. Just a reminder, don't stoop to their level. Happy Thanks Giving.

well they could say nothing and let you go 4 / 16 / 18. But most of us tend to not actively feed the enemy team. Just because you are positive doesn't mean you will win, you have to think hey if i feed here and someone is flaming maybe I need to "get gud" and try to not feed them and play passively so i can not be a detriment to my team's ability to win and i should do my best to not feed a lot of kills.

Like the attitude of if someone is negative then you will lose the game can't make me laugh more. Just mute them if you have such a problem with what they are saying. I want to be flamed honestly it tells me when I might be doing something wrong. This thin skin attitude is what drove me to play dota 2 more than lol and is why it is dying.
