If You Want To Win...

DON'T GIVE UP IMMEDIATELY!!! If things are looking bad and you feel like there is little you can do, KEEP TRYING. You may just win, the enemy may make a fatal mistake, all you got to do is stall for late game. But if you give up, there is no chance anymore, you will lose. Why guarantee a loss? Keep trying until they destroy your Nexus, at least that way you can say you tried, that you never just gave up and let them win.

I have lost too many games because people give up before 20 minutes, when we are only down like 5 kills. Yea its not great, but it doesn't mean the game is over. It isn't over until they destroy your Nexus, you have a chance...

If you are having trouble climbing at Lower Elos, perhaps changing your attitude will help. If you get super tilted and give up at the first couple mistakes, maybe you aren't suited for Ranked or perhaps need a break. Mistakes will happen, I guarantee you are making a ton yourself regardless of how well you play. Just don't get mad and don't get tilted, keep your team positive, make them think they will win no matter what.

... And after you win, or lose, call it a good game. Every game is a learning experience. This could be improved mechanics, personal discoveries....

Human error is always a factor. Winning could appear impossible but the other team could (grow comfortable and) slip.

Here's the sad thing, though: I haven't had a lot of games recently that could have been won if the team didn't give up. MAYBE they could have, but I doubt they could. Not with the snowballing nature of the year-long Pre-Season---I mean, Season 6.

After playing this whole Season from Pre- to today, so many games are becoming one-sided affairs, with one team just creaming the other into a fine, quivering paste. The only comebacks I've seen even semi-often are ones where the leading team fails to end and the hypercarry on the other team gets fed enough to essentially 1+2+2 vs 5. (2 are distractions for the enemy to sink CDs into and 2 more are just meatshields/semi-DPS) Even then, all it takes is the leading team to snag a couple ZZ'Rots and just split-push all 3 lanes.

I won't ever intentionally give up, but when I KNOW a game is lost (all 3 lanes are completely lost, jungler can barely do a single full-clear without dying or has no jungle), I will just accept whatever comes next. It's less defeatism and more a counter-measure to stop myself from tilting crazy-hard.

I respect you for wanting people to play every match to tooth-and-nail, but that's simply too taxing for some matches that just aren't winnable after 10-15 minutes of getting stomped. Just play your best and if a loss is unavoidable, just accept it instead of trying to use some blind optimism as inspiration.

Best best way for me to win games, is to look at your own mistakes and what you could have done better instead of your team. You can't change your team, but you can change yourself.
