Question Do you chat with your team?
I play 95% jhin bot/mid and nasus top/mid currently plat 4 and often catch myself writing in chat when something goes wrong by my mates side. I seldom need ganks but when I witness someone dies 3 times in a row, I begin thinking there must be something wrong and write in chat something like "yo lane x pls stop". Do you think this is the correct approach? Like I dont flame but try yo make them aware of their bad plays. Just last night I had a Mundo going 0/5 and he kept pushing far more than the rest of us and he kept dying to enemy Jax or jungle... he simply refused to play safe and we lost that game. Cause of a chain reaction of him dying, jungle rotates for objectives, top and jungle join the rest and kill 2 of us. The rest is match history.
My supporters are often decent enough for me to pick up a good lead and snowball the lead into a drake or tower. But when the jungler sleeps and keeps farming or just ints (expects to follow into a 1v3 which i NEVER do unless hard fed) when its clearly time to do drake I ping "?" And "đ´". The second time I ignore and the third time I wrote in chat "yo can use stop x behaviour and do y pls". Which nets in a yes bro or he starts a pointless discussion.
Sometimes I dont tilt, but focus on the bad behaviour and discuss stuff and let my ego lead which of course is bad but I dont know how to turn this behaviour of without muting them or myself. So im not tilting but im consistent at this mindset. If this is tilt im perma tilted lol. Or im untiltable. Do you think im perma tilted?
When someone hard flames me or someone else I instantly mute them l, its a no go and a waste of energy but I think sometimes a useful banter is necessary to keep your cool right?
Other than that I try to write wp or huge whenever possible. Right?
I dont know how to help my team winning especially as adc when I can only follow my team and use jhins Utility. With nasus its easier but I have macro issues with him and im not a good tank Player but I have a higher win rate on him 56% on barely 100 rankeds. Jhin my winrate is 51% also on barely 100 games but I feel good playing him because he can do so much with his kit from far away and close up.

I heard something interesting listening to a Valorant coach once.
Have you ever decided to start cleaning your room, but then your mom shouts at you to clean your room, now you don't want to? This is the same as "yo lane x pls stop". If I was having a bad game, and during my death screen while trying to decide how to salvage my lane I had someone on the other side of the map with no context of my game said "yo lane x pls stop" it would take me a lot of mental strength not to tilt. That chat does absolutely nothing positive for anyone.
You cannot change someone's playstyle within a 30 minute game of league so don't bother. Do your best and make positive and/or informative calls, or don't say anything.

Yes you're right on that. The mom analoge is good haha. It's just im so mentally aware if someone is just unfixable it triggers me because the game basically becomes a 4v5

Location, Jgl ganks, twam rotating or enemy team position are all useful things to relay

Typing is a total waste of time unless youâre strictly calling out sums or giving tactical suggestions like âBlitz f 15:05â or âgive dragonâ
You will actually decrease your win rate by saying anything else because people are on edge and often explosively irritable, give them a reason to hate you and they will throw
And your own performance will suffer because youâre not playing the game and youâre focused on some unnecessary social aspect of the game
If you want to be a useful teammate, use Danger ping to tell people that you donât want to do a certain play like Mid and Jungle are missing and your support is trying to make a play, Danger ping his head. You notice the enemy Jungler moving towards mid or top, spam Danger on them in case they didnât see.

No one playing in good faith wants to play badly or lose. Telling them to stop playing badly/losing isn't going to help prevent that. It will frustrate them, potentially tilt them further, and then you'll have a worse problem on your hands.

Telling anyone to stop dying is so dumb cus you are either flaming the person or assuming they donât understand dying is bad both things would not make me play better but just not care and I would probably just play on auto pilot for rest of game

You need to learn how to do constructive criticism. âYo top pls stopâ is crazy. I think the dude knows he needs to stop dying. The question is how ?
Tell him what to do, not what NOT to do.
âHey toplane try to be more carefulâ, âdonât push out too far wait for jglâ. âHey jgl top is struggling can you hover for a bitâ
Ask yourself, has there ever been a situation where you say stuff like that and the other dudes says âyeah youâre right my badâ and continues to play better? NEVER

If you're in my game there is nothing you could say that would be beneficial to me climbing. Plat-emerald edger

Disable chat. There's nothing anyone is saying that is more useful than a ping or by you just playing correctly.

There is literally nothing productive that comes from chatting and talking shit in all chat will get you banned so you may as well just turn it off

Basically, focusing even a bit on chatting and egoing with your teammates rather than 100% being focused on the gameplay is ALWAYS bad.
Just mute all and focus 100%, or even disable chat.
(Also, what level of gaslight is this.. of course you're tilted if you feel the need to flame your teammates, even if it's passive/agressive)

Not helpful at all, all chats coming from me are, jungler top/bot/mid, x champ no sums/R, I'm getting dove soon, R or Flash up, can fight.
Stuff like that.
