as my title says i need some links to videos that explain how blaming others for your own mistakes is toxic and that you need to improve on your own game.

i must explain why i need this.

friend A is playing jinx. friend B is playing thresh. enemy leona constantly lands stun on jinx. jinx rages at thresh because it appears thresh has done nothing to help the situation. thresh suggests that jinx should not stand in one spot for more than a second and should move around so she is not an easy target. jinx continuously makes the same mistakes over and over again. jinx becomes toxic more and more as she makes the same mistakes dying each and everytime leaving thresh hurt that his friend is treating him like garbage. and anything thresh says it is thresh's fault. thresh tried everything he could to save the jinx. and jinx never sees the mistakes she makes countless times.

so to help my friend since he wont listen to me i want to send him some videos explaining how to adc properly without making themself such an easy target. i cant really find much but my friend needs some serious help in not blaming others for his obvious mistake that he makes each and every game. i try to explain to him but he just takes it as in insult instead of actually keeping his mouse closed for more than 10 seconds and actually listen to constructive criticism that would probably make him last more than 5 seconds in lane. any help i can get showing my friend his issue would be greatly appreciated. i try looking around and dont find too much.

This isn't a video, but it's helped some people I know and I find it really interesting. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses in League. Maybe you're great at CSing but have no map awareness. Maybe you always know when to go for Dragon and Baron but don't build good items. There are lots of possibilities. When you see a teammate mess up in an area that you find easy, it will drive you crazy. On the other hand, you won't notice nearly as much when teammates do something well in an area where you're weaker. Therefore, when you play, it will usually seem like your teammates are worse than you, regardless of how good they actually are. Understanding this makes it a lot easier to not get mad at teammates.

Also, tell your friend how you feel about them raging. If it makes the game less fun for you, tell them that. They can argue if you say they're wrong, but they can't argue with you about how you feel. It's a classic conflict resolution trick.
