Your team doesn't listen to shotcalling? I usually duo/trio with my Diamond 2 brother and my little brother on the Rift.
One problem we constantly run into is people not listening to my brothers shotcalling. His game knowledge is insane, much higher than that of mine or my brothers, but we have literally lost games ahead like 5k in gold and 10+ kills (I know that doesn't mean everything but they were big leads) because people simply don't listen.
How do you not tilt when people do this? I am not an aggressive player in the sense that I never shit talk anyone in game unless they do first or I'm in a really piss poor mood (usually I avoid the game all together if that happens in the first place).
I'll give you a Sythe analogy. @John and @Admires are on your team and they are hard carrying. They're farming champions, not creeps, and their control over the game is immaculate. Dukester the Gookster is Ksing their kills with moderate efficiency and getting a nice little KDA for himself. But... Then you have @Dank who will randomly tower dive 5 people, flash into five people, poke the drake instead of going to the baron pit, not listen to instructions, blame his teammates for his own bronze mechanics, and threaten to bang your mother.
I just lost a game where I started 9/0 on MF because nobody would listen late game. How do you get over this? I just get so angry I want to uninstall the game. I am so used to high ranking gameplay in NHL / Madden (I've actually played in and won high stakes tournaments and have topped leaderboards in those games) so it gets really frustrating going from that to this. It's hard transitioning from a highly competitive game where you control everything (madden/nhl) to controlling very little (league)
I'm not an amazing player but I'm a cautious one and I listen to shotcalling. I want to try to get randos to listen without being disrespectful. Any tips?
Btw I'm not claiming to be a god of the game. I'm maybe Silver/Gold at best if I really put the effort forth. But I'm smart enough to at least listen to my team and I rarely if ever feed. I'd like to think I'm a good teammate/ fun to play with.
AD carry btw. Ironman btw
It could just be shitty ELO but my brother says it happens at all levels and I believe it.
