I apply water to my flame-How to win games

So i started playing well,and im kinda climbing because i realised how stupid flaming was. I had that loading screen bug,was stuck,had to restart my game and when i joined my team was loosing bad (i was the afk adc for 10minutes) we lost towers and dragons,all my team did was flame each other (and me because i was afk-not my intention ofc). I realised that i can change it,instead of flaming them back,i always say sorry,and give tips and plans on what to do in this game,told the feeders to play safer and group,and the flamers to calm down and focus.Even if something was not my fault,i would always write in chat "mb" or "sorry" Took alot of effort,but i managed to carry that game 9/10/15 (50 min game,i played around 35) i know my kda isnt a real carry kda,but i carried by supporting my team,shotcalling and in general doing the adc job by doing,well all damage!

The point is,dont flame,dont tilt,focus,and you will become a better player.

Regardless of fault, starting a game 4v5 is demoralizing for a lot of players. They seem to relish in the negativity, and don't know how to react. My reaction is to just let actions speak louder. I don't waste time on apologies and such, just catch up by playing smart. When someone dc on my team, I don't want to read "sorry", just get to lane/jg and do your thing. A lot of hot air is wasted on stuff you can't control in game, yeah a dc sucks but you can't fix it, and if the player returns they need help, not a wall of rage. If you're the dc, just get to work. An explanation isn't going to fix what has already happened.

You did the right thing by not reacting, and obviously it worked. I'd probably have not took the effort to try and calm the flamers. Just ignore that junk and keep smart pinging and sharing strategic input in chat. Sometimes acknowledging their frustration just makes it worse.

Your teammates are your best resource for turning a presumed loss into a win. Raging is just pissing in your own well water.
