Remember that time....

All of you must have had a game where one of your teammates fed the enemy really hard or just kept dying in general and then proceeded to continuously harass tem about it for the rest of the game. I, myself, have done this a lot, but remember that time when you were in that player's shoes, when you lost your lane very badly maybe because of an early mistake, the enemy player is more skilled, or you simply were at the end of a giant F-U stick (I have had this numerous times). Remember that time when your allies constantly criticized your every move and would not stop noting your earlier mistakes. Recently I had two games such as this and it made me realize that I myself have been one of those guys who harass my ally for feeding hard. What I'm just trying to say is that, when your ally dies numerous times, don't say "stop feeding" or "stop you f***ing noob", but maybe ask "what happened?" or tell him "just try to play more passively" or "you don't need to kill him or shut him down" or "all you need to do is stay safe and farm, the kills can come later." I'm just asking you guys to do what I should do right now and always tell yourselves that "remember that time when I was in his place." See you on the rift. [slayer-jinx-catface]

Losing lane is one thing, being 0/7 by the end of lane phase is another.

I wont go full rage mode on someone like that but my tone certainly wont be pleasant when i talk to them.

I haven't been in their place...

I don't lose lanes 1/14.

My worst games are 1/7 at the END of the game and it's probably me on a support trying hard as hell to tank for people that don't do damage.

We do an absolutely horrible job of helping educate and improve players habits and styles. Mostly we just think people are toxic when they say things like... Um... you should probably ward that bush since you've died 6 times to a gank there... But that's again part of the problem, we demonize the player that gets upset at someone for "having a bad game" (and let's be honest, some of those "bad games" are trolls being trolls) and we do nothing to the player that is so bad he made it impossible for his team to win. I don't rage at people like this but I do offer advice and try to help them as much as possible. And more often than not, that gets them flaming me for all sorts of nonsense. So I hear what you say, but I don't feel it. I don't feed 0/18 like some people do in their "bad games" and I rarely die more than 8 times a game... and that's in long games. So all I feel is that they're either 1. not trying hard enough 2. aren't smart at all and should stick to bots 3. need to know more about the game and don't know how to accept help. And honestly, when people tell me "damn, you suck for running into that 1v5" I think they're right and I shouldn't try that crap again.
