"Stop missing skillshots"

When people say this, it's the least helpful thing. Yes, it's relatively minor compared to flaming, but it's still annoying. You also run the risk of tilting sensitive teammates. Games have been lost due to someone AFKing after this. People who say this need to understand that when someone throws a skillshot, they're not doing it to miss it. Telling them to stop missing does nothing to improve, and you're just calling them out. If someone flashes a skillshot, the person who threw the skillshot can't help it. Not everyone can make 200 IQ plays.

I know right, why not tell me I need to breathe next? Nobody likes to hear brainless useless advice. Let me break this down simply for all of the people who aren't grasping why this is a problem: It's condescending. Why? Because you are telling people to automatically be better at something they can't control. Does that make a lot of sense? How do you tell someone to get better at drawing or playing basketball? Do you tell them to land the hoop? Of course not, because you have to do this magical thing called practice, you know, the entire reason you play the game in the first place. Stop justifying douchey behavior by pretending they are actually trying to give people advice, newsflash, they aren't, because if you genuinely think that will help someone get better at the game then that's a grade A mouth breather.

Aim at where they are walking to, not where the enemy currently is.

It's sometimes kinda tilting to see a perfectly predictable skill shot and they can't land it. Those are the times I hold my head and go "what am i seeing". [zombie-brand-mindblown]

The blitzcrank paradox: the more grabs you land, the more likely you are to throw late game and grab no one or the amumu.

The less hooks you land, 100% chance of sniping the enemy ADC through the enemy team and full minion wave and win.

There are few skillshots in this game that involve entirely on the user`s skill (brand W when enemy has less than 400 movement speed for example)

But there are more exceptions like the enemy being in melee range with no mobility or windwall or trident to hop onto, then its usually based on the user`s skill unless they have a really really long cast time. But even then, even the slowest of skillshots can be landed if used when the enemy team is busy dealing with so many other things.

This makes it even more annoying when someone tells you to stop missing skillshots earlier in the game when you know your opponent is focused on dodging whatever you have to throw at them.

Sometimes when I play Cassiopeia the enemy team gets tilted and goes as far to even expressing their feelings due to the amount of skillshots that are slow enough for me to react to.
