#Communication!!! And don't be negative! Help each other out even if someone is losing lane. One team, one dream.

Don't ban the champs that your team mates want to play That helps out a lot.

For top laners - Pick a tank with great engage and learn when to engage. Mid lane - Try to make sure the other mid lane doesn't become fed and never be an easy target for a gank. Jungle - Ignore whiny players. You know yourself and how you play and trying to gank because a player is losing to his/her lane opponent often means two kills for the opponent. Learn the best opportunities to gank. Marksman - The best champions for ADC are ones that have an engage/disengage that you save for critical moments. Lucien, Ezreal and Caitlyn are good examples. Support - People will beg you to play tanks with CC like Braum and Leona, but I have always been a firm believer in utility as support. Shields, heals and using Maokai's seedlings as temporary wards are what I like.

Don't be negative and put others down. Be encouraging and constructive.

Also, if you have gotten ahead, and you're starting to get immediately focused and destroyed in teamfights because you're the biggest threat, hold off on engaging and let your team go in first so the enemy team either holds off on their ults/CC for you, or uses it, allowing you to go in and clean up.

If COMMUNICATION is the number one priority of winning a solo q game by coordinating with YOUR TEAM!! Then why is VOICE CHAT not an available option for summoners to be using instead of wasting time trying to type/ping when i can press ONE BUTTON use my microphone and say "hey man, im playing support for you right now and i don't think this a very good time to engage, my ultimate is ready but i do not see anyone mid or in the jungle i think we are about to get 4 manned". THIS is the biggest fault of league of legends and teamwork. I have played multiple over competitive games for years and nothing can compare to having a quick chat with your teammate over a headset. There is no excuses to be made as to why voice chat should not be implemented. "But the community is toxic and everyone will be yelling and swearing over the headset." There is a mute button available so you can choose to use it if people do not wish to cooperate with one another. If you seriously want to improve COMMUNICATION THIS IS THE BEST WAY

If you know that a lane is busy fighting instead of farming due to a variety of factors and your lane mate is MIA ping more than once. Chances are pings are flying off the wall in games like that so give a better heads up. It all boils down to communication and being positive. The best advice I got is that if you ever feel like typing something toxic just say it out loud instead. That way you get it out and nobody gets booty bothered.

I love to hear from Dash about what I think is the biggest problem in league, people need to focus on what impact you can/should have on your team. 60% of games should be determined by your fellow teammates, half of that people are intentionally losing and the other half you should be getting carried. Focus on the 40% of games where you are the deciding factor between winning and losing, half of those games you will be ahead in lane and can snowball for the win, the other half you are behind in lane but teamfight and control objectives well to close out the win

As an "I'll-do-everything-but-jungle" main, and a solo player, I would say that something helpful is to try to fill a role that your team needs, or set one in champ select. If the team needs engage, pick your best that can do that. If you need insane burst, pick a champ to fit that role. it could even be as simple as seeing your support pick Ali, and go Yasuo in mid or top to complement that.

I think having an option to negate the possibility of chatting can be good for certain players. I was watching my brother play Splatoon 2 and I like it in that you can't communicate to the other players. You just do your own thing. I feel as if it takes the tension off of things.

So can we see Dash's guide on How to Get Carried?

In all seriousness though, I get SO frustrated when I fall really behind and feel like I can't contribute anything, so I'd love some pointers on how I can still help my team.

What you say in the game is very important for this game. Of course low Elo players blame a lot that because they are bad. One thing I know that can make you better at the game is to focus on the game and blame yourself, I know it's harsh but it will literally make you a batter player. Sometimes things don't go your way and you can't fix it but that is how this game works you just have to deal with it and make as little mistakes as possible.
