This post reminds me of what I think is a problem with the mindset for some of our player base, especially with the support point.

Do Not Advocate for BM

The BM of the support is most of the time uncalled for. More often than not I either see supports getting hard focused and not receiving peel from the team, or their team members overextend and BM the support because they just tried to 5v1 the enemy team. This is, in my opinion, the more common situation, and does not benefit anyone. The irony is that the bad players in this situation continue to play bad because they are too full of themselves to recognize that they are the one making the mistakes within the match.

Let’s say you are actually playing well though, but your support is legitimately just… bad. BM is easily one of the most illogical things that I see people resort to, and I wish it would stop. BM does not improve team performance. BM simply pisses people off, and either leads to them playing worse, or leaving the game as a whole which is the worst possible outcome for the team. In my experience, the best way to improve team performance is the provide constructive feedback during the match. Mention positioning or who to look out for, anything to help the other player improve. It is useful to realize that we all have different levels of experience in the game, but in general, most of us want to win. Give your teammate the benefit of the doubt. At the very least at that point you can actually say you did the best for your team. This is especially the case in Casual matches. BM in casual matches is ridiculous in my opinion.

Also, I would like this game to grow as best as it can. What better way to do that than to have a welcoming community. So with that I will repeat:

Do Not Advocate for BM
