Mowen - Raging about Raging

So, I know when we play League of Legends and we aren't in a premade, a lot of times you will get a horrible team. Yes, it sucks. Yes, it isn't fun. But you know what? Raging doesn't help!

When you throw on your cruise control for cool (that would be CAPSLOCK) and start yelling at the Warwick about how he should be ganking your lane because these noobs are pushing your turret and that he's a noob for not being 6 yet... Guess what? Do you think if YOU were Warwick you would want to help that douchebag yelling at you for no reason? NO! In fact you'd probably rather help gank the other lanes that aren't yelling at you and telling you how to play.

This is what you SHOULD say: "Warwick, when you hit 6 please come gank my lane, they are way overextended and it'll be ezmode!" and the the Warwick goes "kk! :D"

You're happy, Warwick's happy, you get kills, your team has better unity, and believe me, team unity is important. A team that doesn't like eachother isn't going to work together very well. Your teammates will let you die when you're in a bind instead of trying to help you if they don't like you. So even when you're not in a premade, guess what? You should still be polite and respectful to your teammates! I can't tell you how many times someone has ruined a game for me because they whine and complain that no one picked a tank or we all picked casters or we're noobs for not letting him mid, WHATEVER! This dampens the mood for everyone, and will give you a bad start. Your team will not feel confident because you are instilling a feeling of worry in them. You should instead say "Well since we have all casters we should focus on early game and try to win early, because if we don't they will overcome us." This provides them with information that is helpful and does it in a way where it will keep morale high since you have told them a way to still win the game with this team composition.

Even if it is late game you still shouldn't rage even if you think you will probably lose. I've seen many huge turnarounds in games that you could've never expected, and when you cause anger between the team this is much less likely to happen because your team won't want to stick together and fight as a team.

So remember kids, be all like ":D" not like ">:O"!
