I'm too scared to criticize or give feedback to him. my friend barley plays league and mostly plays normals. He takes normals a bit too seriously and its worse in ranked. his champion pool consists of annie pantheon nasus corki varus and ... i think thats it.

My friend gets angry/mad very fast and blames teammates for every loss. I feel like his builds and warding aren't the best and he needs to improve mechanically. He complains that even winning lane wont help him win due to bad feeding teammates. personally winning lane shouldn't be a priority. its how you finish and play in teamfights late game that determines your w/l.

he seems to give up to easily and wants to /ff when its 1-10. I'm only silver 1 with over 900+ games played. what do I know but its sad to see the guy depressed like this. I want him to succeed and get to gold or silver but the way his mentality is I don't think he is getting far.

what advice would you all give him? what should I do as a friend and helpful person?

it's completely up to you. you can either be completely honest, partly honest or stay quiet, or lie. if you really want to help him, you would be honest, but I don't know how close you two are and how he would react.

you know what he needs to work on a bit and you could help him if he's willing to take the help, but if he's not willing to take the help, then he's going to be stuck/very slowly climbing in compared to what he could be doing if he were completely open to taking help.

the biggest thing he needs to work on it sounds like it mindset, the other things can come afterwards. otherwise, the other things will just come a bit too slowly for what I would like, but if you are willing to take a lot of time helping, then you could just try practicing with him a bit to help him improve.

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to help this guy. His head's in the wrong place. Hate to say it, but it's people like him who make Ranked so bad for people like me to rise to the top. :T

...Anndd uh.. Tell him he needs better champions too before he starts actively playing Ranked.

Tell him you're gonna find a couch to help you both, Find some one who knows what there doing and hopefully he will listen to the couch if you are too. If you ever need help add me "Turret Tourretes"

Tell him to stop being a raging cockhole. Sometimes people need to hear that from a friend to really get the point across. I can't imagine him being any fun to play with, so let him know that so he can come to grips with what he has become.

Good luck and I hope you have fun with the game in the future.
