Too often do I see

[An ally has been slain]

Teammate 1 : ... Teammate 2 : You have something to say? Teammate 1 : Yeah, stop feeding Teammate 2 : K, I'll afk then

Imagine if Teammate 1 said something mlre supporting...or nothing at all.

Most of the time, the person making a mistake acknowledges it before you even realize they made the mistake

PSA: if they do the same shit over and over again, I'm going to tell them to cut it out.

Understandable.

I disagree with that heavily. A lot of the times when I screw up (and everyone will screw up eventually) I know I did something wrong almost right away. Usually because I get caught and die for nothing shortly afterwards. And I beat myself up over that, I say "Come on Krossy, that was stupid, learn from that mistake and don't do it again". This all takes place about half a second after I make the mistake, so by the time the grey screen rolls around, I've made peace with my actions and moved on.

What I don't need is some wiseass on my team chiming in with such constructive criticism like:

"..." "Why" "WTF" "lol" /all "this guy"

That's not helping me, that's not helping you, that's not helping anyone. Except the other team, since I may be tempted to mute the wiseass afterwards and cut down on non-ping communication.

Long story short, don't bust the balls of your teammates. It hurts more than it helps a lot of the time.

Exactly.

So that x player will think what he had done was right and he will continue to do that mistake in his future games.

my rules- if it looks like a bug you can say wtf if the guy who messed up is joking around about it you can join in with jokes if they say nothing you say nothing

works nicely for me :D

PSA, it's not too late to actually grow a sack and be brutally honest with people when they play like complete trash.

I agree with you in that it isn't better in terms of improving that players gameplay, however at the same time if lets say my lee sin invades the enemy jungle while I'm in a lane as Singed vs Fiora and the Fiora can get there faster (do to her naturally being closer) and he feeds her a kill then it can quickly change the matchup from being a high skill cap matchup to a snowball fest meaning I can no longer lane vs her and I wont have fun for the next ten minutes farming under tower as it becomes exponentially harder to out-trade her.

So I can acknowledge your mistake and know that saying something to you wont make you better but I can also be really pissed at you as you basically ruined half of the 40 minute long break I was having by being reckless and stupidly invading the enemy jungle when lanes are pushed
