What actually loses you games

Talking. Talking loses you games.

I can guarantee that in games that you're especially angry/chatty you spent at least 6 entire minutes total.. Talking to your teammates or enemies. Do you have any idea what kind of time that can take away from your focus? 6 minutes alone is huge, but imagine how demoralizing it is to your teammates and how tilted you get when you're angry. Communication is good, don't get me wrong.. But when you're salty and people are being mean or you're being mean, just stop talking.

I've done it before and it lost me games. I stopped talking as much, kept being positive and it won me games. Hard.

The mute button is there for a reason. And guess what? There's a magical command: "/mute all".

Use it.
