It feels good being positive.

I'm just going to start with this. Not sure if the link worked but it was my last morgana game. A 39 Minute epic.

I don't deserve to have won this game and by all rights I didn't do enough to win it but I did do enough to not lose it. Game goes something like this. I don't have a ban and pick morg thinking I can play her into anything and yasuo is usually banned so I never think about it. Well the darius graciously went mid and things didn't go great. He traded 1 for 1 twice but unfortunately lee camped mid. I tell them that's ok we scale. Yi comes top relieves pressure on me letting me get a back off. I thank him. He comes back again we NEARLY get double killed within a fraction of a fraction of HP (9hp on me) but a binding on lee to stop him from taking a Q means Yi is fed. Very fed now. Every lane is feeding but yi is big so I remind them not to tilt and just scale. Then comes the moment 3 people have voted yes to ff with 2 inhibs down and 25+ kill deficit. I could vote yes. Yi hadn't voted. He said yeah it's probably GG but we can win it. I told Yi to believe in himself and he said he'll give it 3 more minutes.

Game goes on and on and we by all rights should lose. We're looking at 13 -34+ with no objectives save 1 inferno to our name. Then they start baron. We all throw ourselves into the blender and Darius get's a black shield alistar pops up 5 and a crazy fight results in us getting baron and aceing them at the pit! From then on fight after fight went our way. We finally group bot after clearing out some towers for gold and a single fight decides the game. Kennen can't reach the back line thanks to a binding even though Lee blows me up and dies. The fight is 4v3 from there and darius goes off dumpstering the team.

I want you to know getting promoted because you have a positive attitude feels amazing. There was a single moment where I could abandon my series, blame it on bot lane feeding, and go back to trying again. Instead I chose to be positive and win. Excepting the nearly unwinnable 4v5s and 3v5s I see no reason to ff games. Especially if your team wants to win. This game and the rank I gained off it will be a reminder to me that positive attitudes win games as much as skill.

Yea honestly staying positive and trying your hardest even when behind goes a long ways and can lead to an increase in wins. I hate playing with people who flame when we down right off the bat especially in low elo. Like literally 80% if not more players who play ranked should hardly ever worry about surrendering or giving up because at least gold - bronze if not higher many games are thrown and are still winnable a majority of the time.

So yea, try and stay positive, take a break if you tilted, don't flame, don't give up.
