Hello Boards, regular League of Legends player here.
I've been experiencing my teammates being extremely passive aggressive and toxic to each other. This has caused some of my possibly winnable games to spiral into a horrible loss. It would take a person to die once to begin the flame train. Is there an effective way to help raise team morale and come back against the enemy team?
fill the chat with shot calling and execute on them so you are winning the macro strategy. moral will raise when you are winning.
I only really know of two things that could be done to potentially mitigate those arguments and get the team back on track, which are, one; dissolving the conflict, or two; redirecting the conflict.
I wouldn't personally advocate for the use of either, since they both take some amount of care and caution to employ, but if you can somehow dissolve the conflict by getting the team to simmer down and see that arguing isn't helping, that could certainly work, though I think the easiest would be to try to redirect the conflict to better ends.
More specifically; remind your teammates that they're fighting the opposing team, not themselves. If they're angry, they're going to be angry, and there isn't much one can do to help that, so, the best one can do is at least try to halt the in-fighting and get your teammates to channel their anger into fighting the enemy team.
I'm hopeful that this, in some small way, helps.
Ask them to mute each other and as the person said --fill chat with shotcalling executing on it. In one late stage when my team (soloQ) started losing fight by fight, objective by objective, as always everybody started shittalking and point fingering; I asked them to use mute all and afterwards I started actively shotcalling with pings and we managed to lead this game to victory. I don't know if they muted all or stopped shittalking, because I did mute, but the frequency of pings and decisive movement towards execution of pings made them follow me.
Here's my controversial solution: Not my fucking problem.
I don't have kids for a reason.
