Hey Boarders. My friend loves League, and really wants me to play games with him, but he feeds almost every single game. I generally do pretty good, but then end up with a bad record due to his feeding. I feel bad saying "No" when he asks me to play with him, because he slumps away and looks pretty hurt. My friend looks up to me and I don't want to disappoint him...what should I do?

Try to avoid playing with him as much as possible. Trust me, eventually you will accidentally say something that you shouldn't and this will ruin your friendship. This game been ruin friendships since 2009.

I have been faced with this issue as well. It shouldn't ruin the friendship as long as you both are mature and can communicate. By the time I got my friends interested in league I had grinded to lvl 30 alone. I'm assuming your friend isn't a level 30 yet?

If he is and he is still feeding that's a different problem you must approach. On the other hand if he is still going through the grind of getting to 30 and wants to play with you. Consider persuading him to play some bot matches and offer to even play with him. You are sacrificing your normal play time to still play together and he is should hopefully be learning new strategies as you guys dominate AI together.

Explain to your friend the concept of feeding and how to avoid it. He doesn't have to kill the other champions to succeed in a lane. Which means not dying is a victory in itself. I would also suggest wat%%%%% some videos together with commentary on how to improve your play.

Well hope this helps and at least its a starting point.

Play against bots until he gets better then you can try normals.And when you're in bots try to help him find his niche could be Mid, top,supp, adc , jungle and then help him find champs that he is good with. Sooner or later he will get better then take him to normals

Co-Op or Custom-Matches. Make it a 2v5 for Custom-Matches against Intermediate-Bots.
