If Your Team Points Out a Mistake You Made

Recognize you may have made a mistake and don't do it again. I swear, everyone who plays LoL seems to think they never screw up- recognize you can do something wrong that way you don't keep making the same mistake!

Yes, sometimes you may have been in the right and the others may be wrong- but at least think about it. Don't just shrug it off and say "Trolls/Scrubs/Noobs" just because- give the comment proper consideration. And for the love of all that's holy- if they tell you you're doing the same thing wrong over and over again- and whatever you're doing clearly isn't working- then realize you're probably doing something wrong and try to fix it!

Thank you for touching it on the head, rather than...

"Git gud, scrub."

This is something that most people don't get. I was playing a game earlier where I asked my support if they can ward and then they were like taken back even though they had no sight stone...The thing is people don't take criticism well and they react very antagonistic if you even casually make a comment trying to give them some advice. So I think it's good to remind everyone we're not perfect and we should listen to criticism because it'll turn us into better people. Now let the hate pour in response to this comment.

Might want to try doing it without being an ass then. The reason no one gives a fuck when others say they did something wrong is cause 95% of the people who say what they did are complete jerks about it. "wow this adc is such fucken trash go uninstall holy fuck learn to kite" yea im really gonna listen to people like that >>. Or a "wow this adc feeds so hard go kill yourself" even though im only dying cause there lanes roam on me for free cause mine afk in there lane. Yea sure its my fault for not being able to 2v4 -- like idc if they make a mistake. I dont say shit about all the stupid crap they do yet if i make one single mistake i get raged at the whole game for it? I try helping people all the time. Even the enemy team ill help tell them what there doing wrong, if they listen to me then thatll only make me better by going against a harder opponent. Most of the times they dont listen and just start raging and tilting and play worst. Either way i come out happy

Sometimes i know i'm right but when a teammates tells me i played badly i just say "my bad" to avoid any form of talking or justification.

I'd rather people worry about their own gameplay. If you're 20-0 and carrying me say what you want, if you're 2-5 and barely holding on keep your "advice" to yourself.

Pointing out mistakes just makes people tilt because they probably already know they made a mistake. If a player is doing something wrong and is unaware of it then simply state what needs to be done. Then its up to the player(s) to decide what to do with this new information.

So basically dont say: "Support you are not warding enough!" Say: "We need more ward coverage around area X"

Dont say "ADC you are pushing too much!" Say: "We should not push because we lack vision and their jungler has good engage"

The annoying thing is when you die in a 1v1 that was super close and you would have won if you didn't make a mechanical mistake - this is to say, your plan was good but you failed to execute because of something (mouse slipped, someone irl distracted you suddenly, you accidentally alt-tabbed because you were trying to ping while also opening the scoreboard, etc) and then someone instantly calls you out on being an idiot for trying to do something that you KNOW would have worked if you hadn't fucked up.

That's the part that tempts you to do it again to prove someone wrong, only this time you would lose a fight for example that you would have won before purely due to a gold/xp difference.

I really can't stand when someone points out a mistake I made in game. Not because I think myself infallible, quite the contrary. I typically recognize a mistake I made right away and am already upset with myself over it. Having someone on the team just go "..." "why...?" or a more long winded mention which is usually filled with multiple insults, Does. Not. Help.

Now granted if someone keeps making the same mistake over and over by all means say something. However forcing someones every little poor decision out in the open mid game does no one any good what so ever, unless you're looking to help out the enemy team.
