Team Tilt
Hey everyone! I'm fairly new to ranked. I've been playing league since the end of season 3, and I've heard numerous stories about ranked from my friends. From their whole team feeding, to them getting their butts carried. I've never truly experienced tilt or the struggles of climbing, but I typically try to keep a positive attitude even when my team is losing. I'm not a golden player that doesn't rage. I don't rage in chat such as telling my teammates "afk nub", "go die", "uninstall", or what you'd typically think of "raging". I rage by thinking to myself why my teammates are all doing so poorly. However, it's quite rare for me to really be that upset with my teammates. Out of my 20ish games, I've internally raged about 2 to 4 times.
Now that's enough of introducing myself. I'm making this post to talk about team tilt, when you're losing and your whole team is raging at one another. Whenever my team tilts, I don't get involved. I either tell them what objective to focus to make sure we're all on the same page or ping to be careful. Typically, they'd listen, but continue fighting with one another. Quite obviously, it doesn't help our team. Someone would make a mistake they normally wouldn't make (from what I'm assuming) and it would lose us the fight. The aftermath is just my team killing each other from within.
Is there anyway I can stop my whole team from fighting so that the game doesn't become a 5v1v1v1v1v1? The only way I can think of helping my team when they're firing nukes at one another is trying to somehow calm them down. I honestly don't know what I can do to help, but I don't like to give up and pray for a better next game.
If you've read all of this, thanks for your time even if you're going to troll in the comments below. If you have any suggestions on how I can help my team, it'll be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading everyone, good luck in solo queue, and have a wonderful day!
