Won my past 2 games by encouraging my teammates
Hello, I just wanted to point out the power of encouraging your teammates and not giving up. My past 2 games got off to pretty bad starts. When my team started fighting with each other I would respond with "don't worry, we will win :)". The first game we got extremely far behind. The enemy team was ~7k gold ahead at 20 minutes if that gives you an idea. My team was giving up, but I kept encouraging them and telling them that we still have a chance to win. We slowly crawled our way back into the game. After awhile a few people on my team would chant "We will win!" after every small victory we achieved. A pick here, a dragon there. Eventually we had caught up enough to win 2 teamfights and win the game!
The important thing is we would have just given up if we didn't think positively and encourage each other. We even had players complaining in all-chat at one point. I only started playing ranked again this season last week, but I'm already on an 8-game win streak and 13W-3L overall as a Solo Player. Some of those wins were pretty big comebacks that wouldn't have happened if I gave up and started flaming back.
So next time you want to flame "noob jungle no ganks" or "why does my mid always feed?", try some positivity instead.
Special shoutout to the Janna from this game! She was especially great to have on my team! Wish I could access chat logs from these games.
