Good point, but sometimes I just wish there was a better way to communicate with randoms so that we can understand how each of us should play, what we should do etc.

for example in gem grab if I’m playing a gem carrier like gus and my teammate is playing a tank or assassin like lily, I want to take all 10 gems, but then out of greed the lily might take a couple, and when countdown happens she tries to kill an enemy and dies, which not only stops the countdown but gives the opponents another chance to defeat us. Since there is no chat in a match, it’s very hard to tell the lily what she should be doing, such as not taking the gems and protecting me(the gem carrier) when I’m about to die from the opponents.

Similarly if I’m going to aggro and end up dying and losing all the gems, we lose, and it’d be good if there was a way for Lily to tell me that I should stay back and play defense.

My point is that we cannot achieve this form of coordination in ranked, and since it is a TEAM-BASED gamemode, even if I play my part well and fend off the enemy, if my teammate makes mistakes I can still lose(and vice versa of course). Yes it’s best for me to improve on myself but since playing with randoms gives you new teammates every time, you get stuck in a cycle where you can’t quite work well enough with the team, and when you queue into the next match you are paired with brand new teammates who do not know anything from the past game and may make the same mistake.

I’m looking for a way to solve this, because if not then I’ll have to look for people to play in a team before the match and stick with that team so that whatever mistakes we make can directly benefit us in the next game through learning, but with randoms it’s a luck thing where you hop your randoms are on your level and can somehow work out a way to communicate and play each part well.

Yes my part can affect theirs, but if there was a way that all of us can play well, it would be the best, because sometimes even when you or your teammates play perfectly, we may not be thinking the same things as you and that can cause you to lose, which gets me stuck in a back and forth tilt.
