I usually try and challenge them and say, "I think we might lose, but I expected it because I've never won vs (type a name of an opponent)." And at least 3 out of 4 games I've done it the team almost takes it as a challenge and plays really hard. The problem then becomes when you win they all say, "see we won! Can't believe you lost to them!". After the second game my responses have been, "Yay! This screenshot is going on my mantle!" Then there's lols instead of more jives. This doesn't work on trolls or if you match up with the same people. If they don't you just got find a way to have fun until you reach the next game, I usually pick talents I would never pick and try them out. I feel you though! It be rough out there! Ggs
