Blinded to win

Xinis·12/30/2014, 3:43:31 AM·1 votes·602 views

From what I can summarize about players and their skills people go in to a game and hope to win right? That's cool but players become so eager and determined to win that when they die or when someone makes a mistake their better judgement is blinded and their temper explodes. This my friends and players is the one of the main reason the league community is so toxic. people want to win so much to become pro that pretty much ends up being their downfall this is the thing we need to stop as a community: players becoming so serious over something that shouldn't that it affects other players. if you're one of those players that is serious over a game that involves teamwork tell a reasonable reason why its so serious? P.S if you come into the comments with anything hateful like ''oh stfu'' or ''go kill yourself'' will be watched P.S.S I will put up a poll to see if players agree of what I am saying

Yes and no...

There are the people that I think make you post this - those who rage at you for dying or not ganking or not securing a kill, etc... The odd mistake is obviously going to happen and you just need to accept it.

Then there are people like me. We don't rage, despite teammates playing terribly. When we're doing poorly ourselves, we don't blame teammates and instead play safer and try to let those doing well carry. However, when my teammates start playing badly I feel extra pressure to carry and often end up making worse decisions than normal. My great start turns in to a below average game because my teammates are all behind and I feel the need to make a big play to level the field and just can't execute. So yes, I'm equally blinded to win, and I'm incredibly serious about each game, but moreso it's the players who start losing and get the who cares attitude and lose even more that ruin my games too.

It's okay to take it seriously, in fact I believe it's NOT okay to NOT take it seriously, but it's also NOT okay to harass other players.
