"Don't let something out of your control affect your play."

The use Electric Buyers said this in another thread (http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/9AmqQ72e-observer-expectancy-effect-how-it-applies-to-league).

Can it be one of those little tips in the champ loading screen? I feel it hits that sweet spot of "ccommon sense but we always forget it."

I know that for a while I'd let another lane performing poorly suddenly cause me to play less just because I'm all "it's gg" but the moment I got over that, all the sudden I start having all these awesome comebacks despite getting stomped early game. I feel it would help players out if they could be reminded of this every once and a while.

I wish Riot had more good encouraging quotes like this. Some people would be a lot better if they learned to focus on what they can control, rather than on what mistakes their teammates are making.

I wish they were less pretentious and more down to earth.

"Made up statistic proves that positive players win more often!"... not.

How about a "real" comment like, "Insulting your teammate might feel good, but do you care more about your ego or more about the game?".

Nah the statistics are awesome, especially in the face of "I'm an asshole because I wanna win" mentalities.

Also I got a lot of faith in those statistics they came up with. Maybe that's me being too trusting but they are the ones with all the chat logs and player records.

you should look up Jeffrey Lin and what those statistics are actually based on

How very Epictetus.

Epic tits, that dude was named after a pair of epic tits, the best of all mankind has come and gone, there is no future, we have only ever gone downhill since his passing, woe to the living who can never claim such greatness!

Don't let the sight of your grandmother's rolling vag flabs affect your play. No matter how salty and delicious they might be, MMMMM!

if the enemy dynamic premade can gtfo of my lane then maybe.

Tobias BracknerMay 17, 20161 votes

It's important to learn how to handle being camped by jung. That shit happens premade or no.

The DeckownerMay 17, 20161 votes

Not just jg, but 3 man and 4 man camps, hell I even had enemy adc and support coming top to cover the lane for my lane opponent.

Tobias BracknerMay 17, 20161 votes

I've done that before w/o bein in a premade.

Quite a few times tbh.

Sounds like your team just got outmaneuvered/outplayed if the botlane could roam top and they don't lose a tower.

The DeckownerMay 17, 20161 votes

So you have 3 to 4 members of your team camping a single lane without any coordination?

the enemy adc simply moved up after my bot lane recalled, it's not that hard to rotate without losing a tower when enemy is unorganized and your team has team speak.

well you can't control that so just do what you can and focus on yourself, even though the moment and your teammate might suck.

youll remember why you are letting it affect you. from the stupidity ive seen to the dick side of players ive seen this game is only good if you want cancer

Tobias BracknerMay 17, 20161 votes

Mute them and report them dude. No sense in getting upset over it.

As for "stupidity" everyone has bad games, you insulting them for it does nothing to help you.

Shen PohMay 16, 20161 votes

how about the fact that I've had 3 AFKers in a row right after I lost during promos due to dcing in champ select - how does one lose a 45 minute game in one second because their internet cut out in champ select- do you actually screen the causes of players DCing? why do i lose LP for losing when I have 4 on my team and 5 on theirs? What ever happened to Loss Prevented? why should you perpetuate the myth that it is just as likely to win a 4v5 as it is to win a 5v5? Every single time i have gotten to the top or bronze, I gt Dcers, then when i got into silver, they moved the skill ceiling. You guys are TRYING to frustrate the living shit out of your players? why even bother ranking people at all if you are going to move all of the parametrics

That's bad luck homie. Not everyone has that experience. Don't obsess over it.
