Harsh Discussion: The Difference Between Losing and "Losers"

By and large, players get far to "hurt" over losing a game. In almost every game, win or lose, somebody on one of the two teams is going to flip their wig the moment they think they can't win. Then comes the toxic flaming, treating teammates like enemies, ect. But there is a very simple truth in life that most of these people NEED to understand.

Without Failure, There Is No Success.

The difference between Losing and a Loser is pretty clear cut. A player who can lose a game and still have a positive mentality about the game will advance. A player who loses their mind the moment they're down 500 gold will not. Simply put, quitters are going to quit, and that is why they are losers. Look up the stats of any of the "great" players in our pro leagues and you'll see thousands of losses on each of them. The difference is they learned from their mistakes, pushed their game, and didn't give up because of one bad go around. They don't simply say "Aww screw it" the moment they go down two kills or a tower.

More often than not, it is your mentality that makes you what you are. You can lose a game and still learn. In fact, it is a god damned requirement in this life for almost everything you do. Failure will never make a person a loser. The Loser is the one who lets failure dictate their mentality.
