Have you tried to play without sound ?
My headphones were going low on batteries. I was losing the game hard. Removed my headphones. I played like 30 minutes like that and won this. I repeated this last game. My observations:
- No more "An ally has been slain". No more hate, no more tilt.
- Usually, the sound effects are made for players to better understand what's going on. Without it, I had to be more visually focused. Second effect, more attention is given to the gameplay only, without distraction and chaos of the sounds.
- I noticed that my map awareness was a lot increased. Like if I was trying to compensate the lack of sound notifications.
Overall, that was interesting. I think I'll play my placement matches without sound now :p
What do you think ?

Sound effect is the only thing that tells you if your Q hits something on the fog of war. Technically you could see HP refund but is not visually big enough for you to really notice unless you play zoom in.
