Berating your team gets you nothing

Even if your mid laner is 0/8 it does nothing to point it out, it does nothing to argue about it, and it does nothing to actively blame them. YOu can blame them internally, or vocally, but once you start typing you're now wasting your time, energy, and mental effort on, logically, nothing.

Being a dick isn't going to give them 8 kills. Being a dick isn't going to erase the gold they've given, and being a dick isn't going to better them in any way. Really your best bet is to just play as well as you can, and ignore them.

If you lash out at someone playing like shit, theyre not going to listen to you, even if you rile them up and upset them, theyre going to forget it a game after and just continue on how they are.

Actively find things that they do good and highlight those points, praise what you can, or otherwise reassure them that things might not be as bleak as they are. Positivity is infectious, and proven to improve performance in any field, art, gaming, work, anything. Positive reinforcement will always be more effective than calling someone a feeding shitter, even if they ARE. You can know and think things about them but during the game, just force yourself to be a happy camper and think positively, and then when the came is over, if you're really that upset about their score, take the replay file, follow their gameplay play by play, and roast them. Get a mic, and roast them, point out the stupid shit they did, but save it for AFTER the game.

Actually, berating your team will get you something. It will get you punished by Riot. So, just another reason not to.

Or just flame the shit out of them during the game because no matter what they suck. Tilting a bad player isn't all that bad. It's like if flaming somebody square roots their ability to play. It's a whole lot worse if you're tilting somebody who's good than bad. Technically if that were true, if you flamed somebody with a skill level below 1 it would actually go up.

your post is 4 years behind the curve. under riot's current system, it's far easier and more pleasurable to be negative. of course do it in a passive aggressive manner so that not only will you not be reported but you will also get to report others

I won't be positive to a guy who is just simply dumb. He loses 1v1 2 times in a row. Okay whatever, shit happens, I told him to stop trying to 1v1 if he is behind. Guess what? He continues doing it despite, me politely asking him not to. Loses both tower while having a 0-7 scoreline, enemy fed player starts roaming around and destroy everything else, but I should be positive and tell that he is doing really good and he should keep it up, right.

If you can't understand simple stuff, then maybe this game is too hard for you.

It actually gets you worse than nothing. Instead of just playing badly and getting killed too much, now someone is typinig back at you instead of paying full attention to his play. And his play just got a whole lot worse because of it. Or they might just start intentionally feeding. You can end up reported, and punished too.

Just look at Dardoch. Loads of talent, but totally toxic. The team he left went to worlds. The team he went to couldn't stand him and though they may not have made worlds anyway, what shot they had was gone just to get rid of him.

Just look at college football. All those toxic fans claiming the coach sucks after every loss? What have they ever done? That's right nothing. That's why they're in the stands and on the message boards. The legions of the miserable.

False, you can berate your team into winning, and I've done it. I will be passive aggressive about allowing the enemy team to take objectives for free something along the lines of "or we can let them take 2 towers mid, that's cool", and most of the time they seem to respond, and if we keep losing, I'll say "they're winning because we allowed them to take so many objectives for free"

It's agitating, but it works about 60 percent of the time. They respond right away and help secure objectives, and I will always recognize teammates for doing that.

I'm not sure how does the people who support toxicity work. Are you guys assuming you never play bad? Like ever? Yea I can be toxic sometime but I admit that's wrong and usually I apologise after the game ends but not knowing that it's wrong to be toxic is bad.
