"Reasoning with teammates" Followed with tips to Reason with your Team.

It's bad enough to have players going off with "bot lane sucks" "top and mid are bad" "jg never helps" "feeding teammates", but when someone tries to get away with it by claiming they were "reasoning with their team".....guys thats not at all reasoning.

Reasoning: "the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way." Ex: The team did not do well due to poor choices in fights.

Not an example: "Team is garbage, feeding dogs that steal all the kills. Report them all." Followed with "KYS all of you" in a post game lobby. (Not saying this actually happened, just a strong example of what was trying to be considered "reasoning with the team")

Teammates may not do well sometimes, maybe they do. However claiming to "be reasoning with your team" as an excuse to harass and insult teammates is by far one of the most ridiculous things I have come across playing ranked.

If you want to "reason with your team", start by not insulting or harassing them the second something goes wrong or at the end of the game. Good way to communicate is by owning up to your own mistakes and stating what could have gone better with your own actions. (I do this alot, great way to build trust and get good duos in my personal opinion) Others may follow your lead and state what they could have done better. If you know someone is not doing well, don't ruin the game with "you suck" "feeder". Yes some people do intentionally do this, but a lot of others who play this game do play to the best of their ability. To say stuff like this is like saying "you're useless" and throwing them to the side. They still have uses and can do more with encouragement.

These are examples of "reasoning". They help build friendship, trust, and may improve game play.
