I need to know a way to say things to people in game that will make them not do the thing that they are currently doing that is going to not end well.
what are some good words to use or phrases that work well for you in game?
i ask because i am great at saying what i want to say but i'm really mean about it..... and i need to convince these single serving friends of mine in solo que to alter their play a bit.
I find introspecting and interrogating yourself for why you're actively or passively being mean to other people. Why do you feel compelled to be abrasive or harmful? That'll help you more than a written script for the feels.
"Jesus would want you to do this..."
If you are going to say something that criticizes someone, it generally helps to point out a positive that they are doing. For example, if there's a split pushing nasus on your team but you need him, you can say,
"Nasus, I know you're generating a lot of side lane pressure and its great you took 2nd tower, but we would like you mid for team fights since we need your peel for our adc and we keep getting engaged on."
I've noticed something over my years playing league. Perception is usually the best antidote. If my jungler is spam pining ? I try to think about it objectively before I rule out toxicity. Same thing when someone says "lee sin why do you have......?" I usually say "because x reason" and if they say something like "report lee blah blah my life sucks" then I can rule out toxicity. But if it's a question and I think of it as such it doesn't bother me as much when someone says stuff like that.
it's already a pain in the butt to convey things over text.
Unless you know them personally, it's usually just best not to say anything at all.
Perhaps this is just personal experience, but even when trying to be nice or keep someone's spirits up despite them having a bad game, generally saying anything at all just puts them in a worse mood and causes them to then type more than they're actually playing. Again, could just be personal experience though.
Addressing the question hypothetically; just sugarcoat EVERYTHING. Make the person feel special and unique. After all, there is always late game comebacks. :D
randomly popping an emoticon(lux's seal of approval xD) each time you cross paths with them, is a pretty mellow ice breaker xD
Don't talk, just ping.
And honestly it's not worth correcting/helping pugs, they won't listen or they won't remember, but either way it's not like it's going to matter in the current game or you will ever see them again.
Just pay attention to what you can do better in that situation (don't follow up if you can't trust them in a fight etc).
thanks you all for the comments i have two good paths to follow now!
