How Do You Handle Really Bad Players With Attitudes?
I am by no means the best player but I run into people all the time who are having a bad game and then flame the rest of the team. Sometimes its because someone says something to them first but then sometimes it comes out of nowhere. Just had two games that kind of pushed me to make this post because in both games me and the support do really well early on but something else happens and loses our lead then I get flamed for picking "a useless champ" even though we hard stomped lane. Whatever the flamer says doesnt really matter but how do you handle that kind of person? In a way that calms them down, gets them to understand the map state, and then change the way they are currently playing? Most players seem overly confident in their decisions and even when you ask or point out in a nice way of what happened, they get mad and defensive and sometimes even just double down on what they did wrong.
Most people will say to mute and that's all you can do, is that really the only "solution"? I feel like muting may help ME not tilt from them but at the same time its not necessarily what they're saying that's tilting, its the same choices being made leading to bad outcomes that they just keep doing. It's like damned if i say something, damned if i don't. Any advice? Doesn't even have to be directed at me, just in general what ways do you guys cope with that kind of behavior that helps you win?
