Congrats to Everyone Who Made It!

I just want to say congrats to those of you who made it to Honor 2. I personally hit honor 2 at 5 PM yesterday. I was so stressed and didn't think I was going to get it but I kept being positive in all my games and it paid off. Towards the end of this journey I have mastered the art of getting honor even in games where I play bad. I personally will admit my mistakes and if someone calls me out I just own it, if I am ADC and my Support didn't follow up and I die or the play gets botched, I just own it and say my bad. I don't attribute any mistake to anyone except myself.

Well I wish you all a good Season 9 and seriously can't wait for my rewards! Here is a list of my Tips for anyone else curious on how I keep myself from relapsing.

My Tips:

Stay Positive. Admit Your Mistakes. Take Blame FOR your TEAM. (IF someone blames you for their mistake just own it) Every Game is Winnable (Even when it isn't) Don't Say GG (Until the Nexus is near destroyed)

So what you saying is: - Never tell anyone they are wrong - Never teach anyone - Get Blamed for things you didnt do - Waist time Hmm...sounds a bit like stockholm syndrome to me but ok... The right thing to do is dont type and /muteall , just dont get into the toxic relation ship in the first place.

Why do people need to be right or wrong in a game of League? Fixating I’m placing blame on certain teammates is poor sportsmanship and detrimental to teamwork, and there’s just no upside to it.

Nah the idea man is if someone blames you for a mistake they make, you don't have enough time to review the play and go over it and show them why they are wrong, not to mention they wont listen to you anyways. Also, by being more agreeable you make people happy and if your team is happy and you prevent someone from getting angry you have a better chance of winning.

Question about this whole thing.

So from my understanding riot thought it was unfair to take rewards away for a chat punishment. So to make up for this one time thing, they made it so if you hit honor 2 b4 feb 11, you get the season 8 rewards?

Just curious because I went through the same thing, but I hit honor 2 checkpoint 1 in the pre-season.

If your rank was gold or above at the last day of season 8 then yes you will get the reward. But you won’t get a reward if you didn’t have the correct rank to get the rewards.

Teaching can be done without being insulting.

                                   - Get Blamed for things you didnt do

You can always go make a joke of it or simply say "not my fault." (Joke would be "not my fault, someone put a wall in my way.")

                                   - Waste time

There are games that exist that you can leave when you feel it is a wadte of time; League is not one though.

Classic. Repeat everything but word it in the most absurd way, and then come to a conclusion at the end. Lol. You'll make a good politician some day.

Honestly, if it was any other game that was not team-oriented, you would be right. But League is so focused on building the game around a pro meta that is team-oriented, that if you choose to not work with your team 90% of the time you just lose. Blaming teammates for mistakes, bossing them around, griefing, stealing their exp, and defending yourself against clearly angry irrational people simply never works to get a message across. You will ruin the team dynamics of cooperation, focus, insight, and momentum. You effectively knife your own chances at winning when playing with a passive aggressive attitude.

I wish people were more teachable, but you have to work with what you've got, know what I'm saying?
