Why other lanes are relevant. (Open Discussion!)
Hi everyone. With this post I will be bringing up a wide arrangement of topics that seem to be problems that are prevalent throughout League of Legends today. No matter what role you main, what elo you're at, or how well you are doing in lane, we all make mistakes. And sometimes forget that other lanes can still do positive things for our game/team even if they are very far behind or flat out losing. We can get into the mindset that, Leblanc fed Zed, she won't be able to do anything for the rest of the game now. And that simply isn't true.
Now think of it like this, your team is the foundation and your nexus is the house. The problem of this mindset is that it creates cracks in the foundation, it places a weakness in your team's morale. And the amount of people on the team who get this mindset, determine the size of the crack. And once the crack is there, we've all seen what happens next. It only takes one person to say something that acts like a hammer, shattering your team's foundation, destroying morale and cooperation. And when the foundation crumbles, so does your house.
Now to get back to the point. Every time someone thinks that another person on their team will be useless for the rest of the game, a crack forms. But there's a way to counter this. Prepare for some cheesy truth. If just one person believes in their 'Leblanc', and says so, it will heal that crack a little bit at a time. In this game of League of Legends, being positive and kind are far more powerful than a fed Zed. Ok, time to turn off the cheese. But ask yourself, when was the last time, when someone was feeding that you heard, "What can I do to help you?". On the same coin when was the last time you heard, "gg this bot lane" or "this jungler is such a noob he hasn't ganked once".
Ok, so I'm going to put a list of topic's for anyone to discuss. To signify what topic you will be talking about, put the number before writing your comment.
-
The topic of just how much being positive affects your team's morale.
-
The topic of how negativity affects your team's morale.
-
What likely causes are for such negativity and how to defuse it.
-
How to be positive in the face of negativity.
-
Why it's especially important to help other lanes that are struggling, even in small ways.
-
Why Zed should be removed from League of Legends. <-- It's a joke, but go to town!
You know I don't know if any of these things are good topics, I'm new to this whole forums thing. If you have better suggestions to replace some lousy topics let me know!
Good luck on the Rift summoners, and have a great day! :)
