You can always win a game/stop saying "gg"

I'm making this thread in light of being on a 10 ranked game win streak even though I should have lost half of those because of how badly off we were early game. But fortunately I asked my team to avoid being negative and saying "gg" just because we were 0 vs 9 or 1 vs 13. Now a good attitude is the only way to win a game and by saying 'gg' you're basically saying you've lost already, even though the game has barely even started. By saying you've lost, it tends to bring a mindset where you tend to try a lot less to win and you're just waiting for 20 minutes to /ff.

If you think the game is lost because mid got a double kill off bot then you honestly shouldn't be playing the game. League of Legends is by far one of the most dynamic games I have ever played in my life and the slightest thing can be the difference between winning and losing, let me give you an example.

http://grabilla.com/05216-2aa528c0-d635-42a1-a345-be5aef4daebd.png In the game above Leona and Fiora were complaining that we had a sucky team and that we would lose from champ select, I told them we will lose with that mindset for sure but we can pull through if we stay positive. Now if you noticed their team is AD completely with 1 tank and poor team fight compared to our 5 AOE Ultimates. So we naturally won team fights throughout the game since itemizing was very easy and they had extremely poor teamfights compared us. Now it may have looked grim in champ select having 1 tank and a seemingly less op team, but remember if you're confident then you just may be able to overcome the weaknesses your team has and focus on it's strength.

Now also something I want to bring up, is that if you even dare to criticize someone for feeding , you had better be ready to be god and never ever feed in your games. You don't ever, I mean ever, tell someone anything negative unless it is constructive, if they reply negatively then just leave it alone and do your part. Now when I see someone die three times in lane, I ask them if they could avoid fighting since they're so far behind and if they can just farm instead. And...Then they die again because they tried to 1 v 1, then your best option is to either try to help them, or try and win the other lanes as once that person has died enough times there death gold in negligible so it really doesn't matter. When it comes down to it that person is as useful as everyone else and you cannot win the game without them so always try and be positive. I am sure you have had awful games yourself and hated being told anything, but remember that for times when other people had bad games and you called them a feeder. Don't do onto others as you don't want to done onto you.

Something that will help you immensely to carry games is to be a team player by picking an AOE Champions. You cannot go wrong with going with a champion that can either lockdown or damage multiple enemies over the possibility of single bursting someone. If you can play Lux/Swain over Malzahar/Akali do so, you can add that extra damage to help someone else and also not be as useless if you end up being targeted. If you can play Amumu/Sejuani over even Vi or Udyr then choose the AOE. Vi is extremely strong yes, but when it comes down to who will help there team more most definitely the possibility of a 5 man stun or snare greatly outweighs any single targeting Vi can do. And using this premise I have gotten from Silver 5 to Silver 1 in 1 week using Amumu and Swain even in the face of defeat.

Just a little note to the junglers out there, Amumu/Sejuani are one of the best Junglers in the game, let me tell you why. they can tank and still deal great damage,has 2 forms of hard cc, great engage, an extremely wide radius AOE snare/stun with a relatively short CD, easy to play, has an ability that deals damage that scales off enemy max health, did I mention very tanky even if you go AP bruiser. There are everything you would want to bring to your team as a jungler, CC, tank, and engage. Some people prefer dmg dealing junglers but I can say confidently that they do not do as much for a team as a tank/cc jungler would. There is a reason pro junglers still build supposedly dmg dealing junglers tanky like Kha'zix and Rengar for example.

As you can see, I have played nearly only AOE oriented champions and just look at the results.

Swain: Excellent sustain, AOE Damage and snare, deals AOE dmg with Ult activated during Zhonya's (team fight changer), single target burst slow and damage amplifier.

Jarvan: MAJOR LOCKDOWN/DAMAGE and a wide knockup path, attack speed boost to allies with E, AOE slow.

Jinx: Rockets provide excellent AOE damage and poke, Ultimate devastates teamfights, AOE Snare if placed well.

Amumu: already explained

Diana: AOE draw in, AOE Damage + single target burst, AOE Shield dmg, AOE Passve basic attack if used well.

Katarina: Yeah I got from Silver 4 to Silver 3 with just her, broken as fck.

Now I am not saying single target champions are bad, no not at all. Neither am I saying that these are the only good AOE champions ( just merely the ones I play), I am saying that I have found great success with these champions even when our team was 1 vs 14, because we managed to win because I landed a 5 man ultimate with Amumu in dragon pit and that snowballed us to victory, with that single play, 1 misplay or 1 good play can turn a lost game into a win.

Thanks for reading and please enjoy your day.
