To all low ELO flamers who think you're so much better than your feeding teammates

You're not. Everyone's had a bad game, everyone feeds, and 0% of the time does flaming them for it help.

Criticism is fine, as long as it's constructive, but instead of saying "you fucking moron, why did you waste your ult there?!?!?!?", say "hey man, no worries, just maybe hold your ult for a better time."

And for the love of Aurelion Sol, don't spam "?" ping when someome screws up or type "why?" or "..." in chat. That kind of passive-aggressiveness hurts games too.

There's a chance you can turn your game around, but if you put your own teammates on tilt you're hurting everyone including yourself.

And to all fellow players who are getting flamed, just hit the mute button, I promise the flamers in question don't have anything worth listening to. Don't worry too much if you aren't doing well, focus on what you can do to improve your gameplay.

Sorry if this sounded preachy or annoying, I'm just sick of perfectly winnable games turning into blame game circlejerks.

I disagree. Many good players are held back by trash/feeding teammates. yes, over a VERY large sample size, ELO will work itself out. In the meantime, feeding teammates are quite tilting.

I'd like to think that if I'm Bronze and upset at my team for being low elo, then the other team is also Bronze so they're going to be low elo. So we're even. If I'm so much better than my team then I should be so much better than the other team too. Ya know? Eh, sorry if this isn't fitting your message. I agree with your message and think it was well written and hope it gets lots of upvotes and stays around for a long time.

God ya the blame game ruins so many matches. I had an adc stop to type and flame me and then got jumped on while typing and died. The other team said "stop typing scrub" lol probably pissed him off even more but this dude was already tilted before we started. When someone feels they have to type some shit to you on your first mistake of the game, you know they're a lost cause. Dumbass starts typing right in lane lol ohh how I laughed.

sigh....i stopped believing these 'flame' wars a long time ago. most are just throw-away cheat accounts used for the purpose throwing matches, tricking you into raging.
