Had a teammate I wish more people were like

Hey there!

So a few days ago I was solo'd in a ranked game. Now, I'm certainly not the best league player and I'm defidently not that experienced so theres still some tricks and stuff I'm unaware of. I'm also pretty low elo.

Anyhoo, I get into a game as Soraka (shes my main^^) and I got into a game with an Ashe. And this ashe player was one of the most patient players I've played with. At this time most players would get mad at me and tilt, but this ashe took time in game to actually give me hints and tips and how to play support. (Items to buy, where to ward, general tips etc etc) and I have to say it's one of the most helpful players I've ever played with, and I'd say my support game has certainly improved from it.

Now of course not everyone can be like this, but I'm just saying I do beleive more people should try. Instead of blindly flaming teammates, it's always more handy to just tell them (politely) what they're doing wrong and just giving them tips in the game. And trust me, itll gain that persons respect and most likely make coordinating much easiar later. And at the end of the day, typing advice and helping them improve takes just as much time as typing pure negativity does^^

Ashe took a risk, so I legitimately want to thank you for being someone who can accept advice in game and not tilt off the map either. You know how people can be with advice. :) Honestly, if you work well with this person, add them and you'll probably climb in rank. Finding two people that don't tilt easily means 2/5 of your team is better off than the enemy.

I agree entirely. Honestly as long as someone is non toxic and seems to be pretty open and willing to take some constructive advice I generally add them and play with them a bit. I dont really add people just because they are good, I add because they are nice. You can teach someone how to play better, you cant really teach a person to be nice.

I used to offer people advice and give suggestions but the truth is that the community is so toxic, this sort of thing is usually met with profanity, threats and unwarranted reporting. It's unfortunate but this community, barring some exceptions is pretty atrocious and it's simply not worth the constant harassment to try to educate new players on how to improve their game... at least not in game, but even outside of the game there is a tremendous amount of harassment. Check out the chat logs on tutorial and advice videos on Youtube, the commentary is as bad there as it is in game.

Being able to take some criticism and advice takes maturity and there is a serious shortage of that in the community.

Well it depends if ranked game or not. If ranked game ofc I would tilt shit out of him for ruining my game.

You seem nice. I had an Ahri just last game who was up against Zed. She died twice and I say...

"You really need some armor Ahri" (She was rushing item 3030 )

She responds... "Stop flaming me"

I try to be this player sometimes tbh. I had somebody be real nice to me when I first started out on league so I've been trying to pay it forward and help new players who are struggling with how to play.

I give hints and tips all of the time to help out my teammates.

Hint: Your playstyle is pointless. Tip: fortnite is probably a much more suitable game for u.

I've encountered like 7 these 2 years I've played league.

I try to be like this sometimes but I don't want to be ''I know it all'' but I sometimes do it when I see some players struggling with a champion/lane.

There's nothing but toxicity in league for you, get out before the toxicity absorbs you. No really, this ashe is 1 in a million, and only becomes more rare the longer you player/higher you go.

Yes please let there be more people like this. I'm reporting a least 1-2 people every single game lately. So many toxic people. Haven't hand any games with nice people recently and its really bumming me out and making me not want to play :/ Which would be a waste of my MSI pass..I've already missed out on multiple days now became I can't bring myself to try and play solo.

Ashe players are for the most part on the friendly spectrum of adcs. Same goes for sivir, lucian ezreal etc. Draven and vayne players? not so much :/

The guy was most likely a older sibling or someone who has to deal with annoying everyday. Worked with someone who would just say howdy and sing this is our buger for 2 hours straight every single day. Since then I’ve known real annoyance.

As a person whose spent quite a bit smurfing, yes, that is a nice way to communicate. Except in more cases then not, when I'd tell my lets say toplaner or support what would be an adequate build, or what to do, in a polite way, it would either be met with ignorance, or flame, wich is the sole reason I gave up on it. Now I don't even feel the need to talk to them except through pings/champion selection (even champ select doesn't feel worth spending time chatting in as nobody cares what you think or want to say, since if you tell them "Hey Yasuo doesn't fit our comp, can you go anything ap" the most likely response is "Stfu I got this"(to clarify, yasuo was just an example, it could also be a Zed, Talon, Riven, etc. since a lot of champs can ruin the teamcomp).

So, that's why you don't see many people telling you what to do, etc. as there's no point, since people willing to improve instead of blame are in the minority.

Soraka mains shouldn't know how to ward and stuff. What manner of pervert robs the innocence of a Soraka main by showing her how to ward and stuff?

Call the Rito police and report the perp.

like i get it i agree to a certain point but you also have to understand you get people that are just dicks. like i have been both the one raging and the one trying to be nice. when i rage im just annoyed that a lane is feeding and refuses to just hug and wait it out. when im legit nice people tell me to stfu and not tell them how to play or to stfu becasue im annoying lol maybe i just dont know how to be nice so i just mute everyone now unless im in a 5 man
