Morale is Everything
I just came out of a game where I played like garbage. I struggled at everything from farm, to just staying alive, I just couldn't get my head straight, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has ever had a game like that. I got destroyed. Our Blitzcrank did absolutely everything possible to help, though, and I don't just mean gameplay. A few encouraging words instead of curses and flames helped at least keep me there, and vaguely useful. Did I do great? No. But I put down damage, and was there where I needed to be to push down towers. We won a game we probably shouldn't have because one good player made good calls and kept his teammates from falling to despair. I'm not prone to flaming, I more go for silence, and I think that maybe I should be a bit more like that Blitz, and be more open to lending a few helpful, kind words to my teammates. Point is, we'd be a better community if we acted a bit more like that Blitz. We'd probably have less games wind up in the trash can, and have less losing streaks too. If you're reading this, thanks man.
