How to be a better teammate?

It's more fun to help teammates than it is to carry games or win in my experience.

Are there any advanced tips on how I can help my teammates so we can win together?

Work towards endgame victory and assist kills over of a better k/d Be kind to all players and do not be rude, even if they suck pretty bad. . .

  1. Wards, wards and more wards.

  2. say gj or nj or wp anytime someone on your team gets a kill.

  3. Get a kill in your lane? Push an objective or roam and gank another lane.

  4. Keep track of dragon and baron timers.

  5. If you're playing a tank/support, give the kills to the ADC or APC whenever possible.

  6. Watch my videos! They're all about working as a team to win games. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2EZm50wNGmfJal7IHM_b8Q (sorry for the shameless advertising)

Ward well on support, and help ward while in other roles, especially around objectives.

Peel for the fed/not-underfed members of your team.

In champion select, if you're not an early pick, look for what your team needs: is it lacking AP, tankiness, crowd control, damage, etc? And, consider what would make a nice team composition (poke, assassin, hard engage, high mobility, etc).

If you're laning and you see the enemy jungler gank another lane, put pressure on your lane. You can do this by pushing the lane up or going ham on your opponent for a kill (because you know you'll be safe from the jungler ganking).

A good rule to have is that after every kill you get, push your advantage in some way (get dragon, a tower, and farm if it's laning phase).

Hope these help! GLHF! :)

Lighten up the mood in the lobby and first 2 minutes of the game. Tell a quick joke or something. Example:

Want to know how fat Gragas is? He's so fat he starts the game already fed. or Gragas is so fat that he takes utility masteries just for the biscuit.

Getting a nice chuckle from the teammates is a nice way to set the tone for the game and relieve some pressure early on.
