So where do they get the "Players who cooperate win 31% more games", I don't believe it.

I feel like I win more games when there is some army sergeant-like rager who has everyone on pins and needles? Where are the facts this tip is based off of?

I feel like this is a common sense statement, and I don't understand why it's up for debate. You hear LCS players all the time talking about how teamwork (synonym in this case for cooperation) is so important to winning.

If you coordinate with your team, you're going to perform better. Being friendly is not the same thing as being cooperative. Sergeants are cooperative. They are leading the team. The fact that they are raging is not necessarily related to whether or not they are cooperative.

If someone is sergeant-like then people tend to cooperate with him, they didn't say anything about being friendly in this tooltip right?

The only one that mentions that is the one that states people who harass their teammates lose more, which I've found to be true, harassing leads to throws and ragequits.

This is a lot like the "People who harass their teammates lose X% more games". The reality is that if you win a game, you're more likely to honor your teammates, and if you lose, you're more likely to report them.

Because it's a useless statistic that assumes causation rather than correlation.

Real quote would be "People who are winning are 31% more likely to be cooperative."

I feel this is correct, because you can have the lead by 10k and then start complaining for no reason and throw because you're all flaming instead of trying to win.

Or you can be down by a whole bunch around 10k and work together and win, why? Because you're thinking as a team trying to win instead of thinking "Lol these guys are trash (maybe im trash too) we already lost.

I've seen this work with my own eyes and actually preached this stat before riot came out with the stupid tips.
