Can we add a cheeky pop-up for feeders?

So, hear me out. Since it's so hard to tell the difference between legitimate feeders and people who just don't know that this is a game where item advantage matters a ton, let's give them something like a newbie help-tip. But one that can't be turned off.

Something akin to, "WARNING: You're dying a lot!" that appears if you die 3 times within 5 minutes.

Edit: Maybe it should include actually helpful advice. Something like, "Wards can warn you about incoming ganks. Remember, last-hitting helps you keep the wave closer to your own turret." Things like that.

The thing is, it's not that the game is going bad. It's that you keep picking fights or getting caught when you shouldn't be.

Sorry, I wasn't quite clear. What I meant was, "this game is going bad," is not descriptive. If you're dying a bunch in quick succession, there's something you're doing wrong. The game doesn't just magically execute you and give the kill to the enemies. Blaming the game state instead of looking at where you're going wrong is the mindset of exactly the kind of players bad enough to need this pop-up.

which will just tilt the player further and guess what? you achieved nothing but make things worst

The player is already tilted at that point.

Maybe it could be nice and actually include a tip for what to do. But it's the same concept. Coming from the game, it's a lot nicer than coming from an ally.

"I'm playing my champ, you play yours," isn't something you can say to the game itself.

so your solution is to tilt the player further? it doesn't matter if it comes from a teammate or not. The last thing most people who are doing bad want to hear is that they are doing bad. You literally are achieving nothing but making things worst.

Oh really? You have proof it wouldn't matter if it were a game notification? Because you definitely don't.

Maybe instead of spamming you come up with an actual argument.

I was thinking about a system that breifly delays the ability to play when it looks like some one is tilted. If in a string of games the KDA goes to shit, uncommon loss %, and higher reports for negativity etc all show up a message telling folks to calm the fuck down, feel that might help.
