How do you ask your teammates to stop dying

They keep pushing to enemy tower, getting ganked by enemy jungler, dying, rinse and repeat.

They aren't learning. The jungler is just going to keep ganking.

I can carry the game, if they would only stop dying.

What do I tell them?

Think of this: Is anything you say likely to suddenly magically improve their skill/decision making? The answer is no.

There is no coaching/advice that will help if they're already dying a lot. They're already tilted. Reminding them they're not playing well isn't going to stop their tilt - it'll make it worse.

What's better in this case is just to encourage them, remind them to play safer, but not tell them what to do.

"Hey, try and keep wards up and watch out for ganks, you won't accomplish anything if you don't take the steps needed to prevent them from taking advantage of you pushing."

Riot does protect feeders.

They also don't put them in the elo they belong, so those that do not feed, are matched with those that don't understand the most basic points of the game. Further if you play well, you are more likely to be matched with bad players.

Welcome to league, seriously go play another game. I started to play something else and realized just how frustrated I've been feeling playing league. League is fucking terrible, just move on.

I may try again here or there, don't get me wrong, I love the game. But game quality is absolute shit, because of the exact question you've asked.

Chermorg is right. Except that they aren't tilted, they just aren't in the elo they belong in. No is willing to admit that matchmaking blows ass and has you teamed up with players you should not be. Its just a ton of excuses.

Its clear as day, but whatever, fuck league if they are going to say its fine. Its not. Its obvious. It can die then, its no fun anyways. They're new player base isn't going to exist and the game will fail.

The only hope they have to artificially bring new players into the game through college programs. Thats how they will keep the system going, they won't give a shit about solo q because its not needed any longer to achieve the main goals.

Don't know what to tell you. Its not going to be the common mans game. Unless you're insanely good, don't expect to have fun. Fun has left league. Left a while ago. They won't even admit to the issue, so of course they aren't going to fix it.

To some extent, people are where they are based on their tendencies. However in the situation you provided I would suggest writing in chat "Hey, it looks like the jungler is trying to camp", "you should buy a pink to shut him down" and then try to watch the map for him and ping as it could be that he is trying to pressure the enemy but is missing the jungler

Correct.

It'd be nice if when you have 4 people in a game that know not to feed. If you didn't have one of them doing the feeding of four. You know, matchmaking shit. Classic. Oh sorry, sorry, my bad- its not a problem. It doesn't exist.

Anyone else laughing? Apparently I don't know what 1% means. Cause those are some fucking well matched games. Clearly.

In what way is that "matchmaking shit"? Normally when people say matchmaking, they mean putting people who play at the same level together, and if one of those people makes a mistake and then the other uses that to gain a bigger and bigger advantage, so be it. However, you seem to hold the position that "matchmaking" is placing people who don't make mistakes into games and the others... well, I suppose you would know what, and if the former scenario occurs, people making mistakes, that means there is no matchmaking or that it doesn't work.

So please, go ahead and contribute to inform all of us how decades of matchmaking and rating that we have is supposed to work.

You can't tell them anything. If you do, you're toxic, even if they are toxic themselves because they can't play safe. They suck and won't understand why. They will then blame it on having a bad game. Players like this should be reported for intentionally feeding and let RIOT do what they should but won't.

So just hope you don't get them players in the next game because there is nothing you can do and RIOT encourages those type of players to keep doing it because RIOT does nothing to curb that behavior at all.

It's considered as harassment if you ask somebody to stop dying. Don't do or you honor progression will suffer. #RIOT protects feeders.

just tell them that if they keep dying that way they most likely gonna end up losing the match even if everybody else on the team is overfed.

Tell them you'll send nudes after the match if they stop dying.

Doesn't matter if you're a girl or not.

tell them what they are doing wrong or suggest something they could do without being toxic

also never mention that you are carrying them, you will make everything worst.
