Stop Hating On Your Teammates.

Seriously, no one on your team needs to hear about how useless everyone is. Just stop. Stop. No one gives a shit. Every single game of LoL all I hear about is how bad I am or someone on my team is.. THAT is what makes other people get pissed off and start raging back at you.. and players in the next game, and then the players in the game after that one. You are starting a never ending cycle of players being on edge with everyone on their team.

The next time you are tempted to start hating on that 0-5-0 Top laner or your support Blitzcrank who can't land 1 hook to save his life just close your chat box, take a deep breath, and tell yourself it doesn't matter... Because trust me, it really doesn't matter.

Being a shitty teammate doesn't help you win games, all it does it make everyone on your team hate you. So stop being that guy who thinks he's better than everyone and accept the fact that everyone does poorly sometimes because if your enemy never played poorly you would never win one single game.

Mistakes are made, bad things happen.. That doesn't mean it's okay for you to start bullying your teammates and making them feel like complete shit because they weren't able to carry you or make the play you think should have been made.

^This^ so much this. The newer players do try to get better, veterans flaming them isn't going to help them.

Amen to this.

Flaming and hating on teammates spreads toxicity and a negative player experience, and League honestly doesn't need any more of that.

I think people should understand well enough to understand.

Meaning, flaming your team instead of thinking of a way to improve the current situation is a huge waste of time. Seriously, that time you have sent that message you could have been defensive warding while calling shots and giving out simple enough goals and objectives for even 3 year olds to understand. Maybe even a simple strategy or weakness can be exploited even at that stage of the game.

The point is, take responsibility, because if you do, other people will follow suit.

If you are ignored, then observe what your teammates are doing and learn what they are really doing that is affecting your gameplay, and communicate that with them in a clear, neutral manner.

This even applies to real life situations, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

Sometimes the Enemy team instigate the tilt.

(all chat)Enemy: "Oh wow your adc is bad"

(all chat)Teammate: "Yeah I know I wish I had your Adc >.>"

(team chat)ADC: "Seriously dude? It's not my fault our jungler barely ganked!"

(team chat)Junlger: "Of course it's the junglers fault that you and your support fed. Meanwhile I'm helping Mid lane because their jungler was camping"

(team chat)ADC: " There are other lanes you know! Mid lane should learn to farm under tower"

(team chat)Mid: "Don't blame me you F****** Idiot"

(team chat)Top: "You're all bad -_-" player has disconnected

(all chat)Enemy: "what happened your top laner dc'ed?"

(all chat)Support: "yeah ):"

your team agreed to a surrender with 4 votes for and 0 against!

(all chat)Enemy: "GG"

(all chat)que asshole Enemy: "GG EZ!"

That was oddly fun to type xD

I get this, but why is your name that? It's enough to send a message to your team without even saying anything, like "This player lacks the skill, knowledge, and motivation to stick out a losing game to see if they can win anyway." It's an eyesore.

This always happens to me every time I play ranked (I am in bronze 5) I lose because my teammates are flaming each other when we are 5 mins in and they say they will go afk or feed, I will get a positive kd then somebody feeds on purpose (They said they are feeding on purpose) and I get wrecked by a somebody with 12 kills. Or somebody will be afk. Funny story 2 ranked games ago my jungler forgot smite in ranked and 2 people on my team were flaming him and I said we can still win and got my team positive and we started wrecking them and won by the enemy team surrendering. Which that is why you should you should believe in winning and dont flame your teammates because we would have lost if my team flamed our jungler for not bringing smite. So anything can happen stop hating on your teammates.

I have never played a game in which more people blame each other and refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. I guess that's just the millennials in general though, it's always some excuse: "Lag", "But that champion is broken", "My [insert ability] didn't go off", "You fed [enemy champion] so it isn't my fault", Goddam, so much of the blame game that goes on.

It doesn't matter how well you do or if you get stomped, people will look to blame someone for their mistakes, problems, lack of knowledge, awareness, vision, etc and there's a good chance that they'll blame you. Why? Because they won't blame themselves of course!

I agree with you entirely, that is why unless theres good friendly chat going on or just some comments to the enemy team like "do you mind -enemy champ- im trying to get away here >.>" I mean yeah, i might be thinking or saying to myself that they cant hit a hook if their life depended on it.... etc etc, but if i message them in game about it, it is giving a tip on how to hit the hook better/easier etc. It is harder for some people to adjust gameplay during the game than others, and sometimes the enemy is just that much better. There is nothing wrong with that. That is why I almost never report for intentional feeding..... unless they are running under tower and dieing, then yeah.... that is intentional feeding. I report people that flame and rage etc because that is Unsportsmanlike conduct, and often has a mix of verbal abuse.

It does not upset me that people say the things that they do, its just sad that people think that someone should "Drink bleach and die." over not winning their lane because they got outplayed. Like really, the game is more important than life to them? "Oh but I was just jookkiinnggg I didnt mean for them to actually do it......" their excuse if they ever found out that someone actually took their suggestion..... and then they start laughing about it with their friends as they are drunk, high, and drugged up. Its those kind of people that should never get married or have children, because if more of them come around would it not be just soooo "jokingly funny" for someone to tell their kids to do that, and their kids taking the suggestion and doing it. Karma goes around and comes around..... if you hit, you will eventually always be hit harder.

The games where I admit when I've made a mistake and try to offer friendly criticism when someone else is having issues tend to go far better than the games where I get frustrated and flame a bit or where someone is just blaming our team. Team morale is a bigger factor in winning that I think most people understand.
