the thing about "poison"

the best way to combat poison, is to always be positive. no matter what.

and if someone is being a super negative nancy, just mute them.

your games will be 3000% more fun, and your win percentage will increase.

look, I get that sometimes other humans seeming to be random, dumb, or malicious can become super frustrating at times. I 100% get that, more than you know. but see the thing is, humans, while confusing, are logical. whatever they do, they do it thinking it is the best thing to do. assuming that they are poison is more likely to put you on tilt. assuming they are trying to help, will at the VERY LEAST keep you on goal, and can even help you have sudden insight into how to coordinate with them.

and more than anything, people make mistakes. maybe it's simply not noticing everything that's going on the screen at one time. most of my deaths are because I am a tank, try to lead the charge into an initiate, then when I get there, realize everyone is hiding in a bush recalling. so when someone does something stupid, don't call them stupid. they probably already feel pretty dumb.

just... whenever your team gets first blood, say "gj" and whenever the enemy gets first blood, say "xD"

for serious business, a positive attitude will get you the wins you feel you deserve. a negative attitude will bring you losses. IDGAF how better a player you feel you are over the others, if you truly are a better player and you're positive to your teammates, they are actually gonna let you call the shots. try it :)
