How to Win a Lost Game

When playing a losing game, we all at some point have felt that "urge to kill rising". Olaf There becomes negativity in speech, poor team interaction and eventually a terrible game experience.

Sp4zie created an awesome video on how to turn THOSE games into a win.

So, let's break this down:

Sp4zie describes a ranked game he is playing in. Mid is fairing decently, top is verbally only responding to pings and such, jungle is sporadic and bot lane is acting quite toxic towards each other.

Key Mindset:

  1. Set new, clear goals for the game.
  2. Communicate with teammates.
  3. Ignore negative & raging players.

Check it out! The video is fantastic, I know I'll be applying these points in any "losing" games I have in the future!

I love this for Ranked matches. Unfortunately, this ends up seeping into Unranked matches. It can be quite a drag. Still, good points were made and I hope to utilize them in future gameplay.
