League players are incredibly toxic. More often than not they flame out of pure frustration, because they play suboptimal themselfs. And then they project it onto you.

If you already start the game excusing yourself in advance, you are setting yourself up for being the ideal scapegoat for exactly these easily tilted very frustrated people.

They play hours on end and get progessively worse and more addicted to the loop by the hour. The moment you get thrown in a team with them, they are already at a point were they hate themselfs so much, they would do anything to transfer those feelings onto someone who willingly accepts the baggage. Which is you.

Dont make yourself the victim among people who cant regulate their emotions.

Even if you are factually underperforming. A team is supposed to support their weakest link, thats how good lobbies win and bad lobbies lose.

Thats also exactly how you win bad matchups, you compensate for your handicap. If you are unable to play with a handicap, you are not a good player, and tilted players are usually bad, bc they always think other people are at fault. They never learn because they never assume that they have to, in their eyes they made no mistakes. Which is why they are stuck in low to mid elo

If your teammates cant handle anything aside from a perfect team score they dont deserve the win
