Something Remarkable

So I was tilted after a really bad flex game and against my better judgment queued up for another. This time, I was Lux against a Syndra. Our team was doing kind of bad, their Vi was really fed, and I was panicking and cursing in the chat (I wasn't flaming anyone of course) and everyone seemed pretty agitated. Except one teammate. There was a Maokai in the top lane and he kept his cool and kept calming me down when I died and things like that. He kept staying calm and positive and coordinated so we were actually working together more and coming back, evening it out. We did throw while trying to stop them from taking baron and lost the game, but I'm still amazed at this guy. He was the glue keeping us together. I don't have any screenshots of the chat ingame, but I did screenshot what he said in the post-game lobby:

I was definitely overreacting during the game and losing my cool and I'm so thankful that he stayed calm. It really did help me, so if you do encounter a tilted player in a game of yours try to react like he did. It does help.

Uh, I have also learned my lesson and will not be playing while tilted again.

I swear that is how I almost hit platinum last season (because every other skill I have in league is cardboard level). Never underestimate how much simple words can influence a game.
