A curious summoner reflecting over it's behavior, searching for guidance by fellow summoners

Hello dear summoners, I have some thoughts I would like to share and question. I would appreciate all opinions.

I have lost many games in league of legends latest, it feels like if I don't carry and roam all lanes it's almost secured loss.

I have gotten more players that int in my games than normal and I mean way more than usually. And I am questioning my self whats the reason for it. I have gotten permanently suspended on my other acc for improper language in chat, so I have changed my approach.

Instead I am hard passiv aggressive and I think it irritates them way more then how I used to be. And thats the reason they all int in my games.

_To my question is there any statistics that would prove that if u are using an improper language in game that it would worsen the chansen of winning? _

I am currently silver two "main" supp, sometimes I get the chans to duo with 2 amazing plat smurfs and they think I am good (I assume good for being silver) in lane but my game knowledge haves a lot to improve. When I duo with plat they know exactly what to do and it dosen't matter if whole team is feeding, we will dominate lane and rest of game.

And I am not that good to carry alone. But I feel like I should be playing in low gold, I am currently pendling from silver two and silver one and I want to leave silver and get to gold where I can evolve at a faster rate, I am not learning a lot from my loses in silver because I am thinking more about my team then myself.

So I wonder if my biggest misstake in games currently is that I am passiv aggressive in chat and that makes my team play worse.

The second misstake I feel that I do that is preventing me to climb is that I am touchy and I will easy give up games and not playing my best, which leads my team to even play worse. I guess I am a very negative player.

I feel like just writing down this thoughts leads me to the conclusion that I need to stop this behavior it makes my team feel uncomfortable and makes my self following a negative circle. Writing it down like this and reflecting over it makes it clear that I am the problem.

But I still wish to hear your thoughts about this matter and maybe your own experience.

By the way I just got suspended for 14 days, can I get reported for pinging? Just wondering. Don't wanna lose a second account.

Personally i just stfu in game, dont insult anyone, I make suggestions, dont respond to sassy replies to my suggestions, dont call out any mistakes... basically just assume that everyone is a fucking baby who will throw a fit if you hurt their ego in any way.

I think its a good philosophy to play by. Too many times have I seen players crumble from the pressure of being trash talked by their own team. It makes them second guess every move. They hesitate. They start focusing on chat. Its just not good for winning. It may feel good to you, but thats your own insecurity, if insulting players makes you feel good.

Thats why the 1/5/0 chogath jungle will endlessly flame the 0/5/1 mid laner. He needs to deflect to protect his own ego, before people start blaming him. So be secure in your own abilities, leave the fragile strangers alone, and play to win. Chat is NOT an important part of this game. Pings suffice. Sure you can throw out strategic ideas, but don't ever turn it into an arguement. Just concede when someone disagrees mid-game. Its not a good time to argue.

To answer your question I would definitely say that having a defeatist "when things get tough I give up" mentality is definitely detrimental to success. We've all had times where we've felt like the game was lost, whether due to us and/or our teammates constantly messing up or the enemies just being too powerful, but spending time complaining about it in the chat isn't gonna change anything. If anything it's gonna lower your teams chances of a comeback since not only is that time not spent playing the game but your teammates are forced to listen to you rage in the chat (assuming they haven't muted you) which distracts from the game. Sometimes just farming to late game can be enough to turn the tide of the game, which is something I find myself saying often in those situations. Having one member split-push while the others play distraction (or vice-versa) can also work sometimes.

Some other advice: if you must rage then do so at the screen instead of in chat. This will allow you to vent your frustrations and not compromise your teams chances of success. Alternatively you could just hit a pillow or squeeze a stress ball or whatever if yelling out loud isn't an option for you. These are things I've done to help release some of my frustrations so they may work for you too.

Finally I would say instead of focusing heavily on yours or others mistakes try looking for ways for your team to get back in the game and also try praising your teammates (a simple "gj" or "nice one/shot" and things of that nature will suffice in most circumstances) or reassuring them if they fail ("we'll get em next time" for example). I've found that teammates are often more willing to listen to me if I'm doing these things (not always but most of the time).

Hope these helped some.

Stay positive and share positivity. That'll help you win.

It's not necessarily by way of the act of being nicer will help you win more games, its by way of you typing less.

Consider how many times you have died or a team fight was lost or towers taken because you were busy arguing with or scolding another teammate.

Exchange every negative thing you have to say with "good work team, nice try, good effort, calm and steady, let's stay focused, could have been worse, no need to flame, we will win together or we will lose together."

The shorter the conversation the easier the win.

How can you be a support main and toxic.

Two suggestions I'd give:

First, it sounds like you just need to learn to lose. As far as how to do that, I can't give much advice there, as that's something I need to work on myself.

Second, something I can help with: try to find another, out-of-game outlet for your frustration.

Step one: Mute EVERYONE in scoreboard after you type GL HF if need be mute pings from the people that spam 'Mia' to flame.. (in my experience at lower elo's 90% of players would rather tear people down than build anything up but there own ego)

Step two: Dont assume the BEST play that you see is the BEST play the randy rando in your lane see's. Try to read them a bit more and coddle them. If the bot carry chooses to slow push when you dont think he should. Let him slow push. There is a reason your role is 'Support' (support main for 3+ years before i started playing adc/top)

Step three: Climb those ranks.
