Don't play with your brain on autopilot.

[Zuihou_Kai]

Always be aware of what you are doing. What your gameplan is. Don't approach every game the same way. See the enemy lineup, see your teams lineup and play cautiously. There is no rush for caps, there is no rush to get that first blood. 

 

Look at the minimap. Be concious of your positioning. Stop looking and concerning yourself with what your teammates are about to mess up again, concern yourself about your own game until it is over. Don't search for excuses if you mess up or die. Always be aware of what you did, how you died and how it could have gone better with only your own influence in mind.

Now, one would expect this, incredibly sensible and reasonable post to be assimilated and appreciated by the playerbase.

 

I'm 52 years of age, a pretty decent team player on most occasions and rarely potato badly, never say never though, but I am more cynical than I was as a younger man and sadly I can picture the complete dismissal of these intelligent musings by a large percentage of current players.

Telling other players how to do things often end like this:

Its a pity this advice doesn't appear in the loading screen, whilst it would be ignored by some, we can live in hope that others would take it on board.

To put the brain on autopilot one has to have one in a first place. Most seem to be lacking one completely. Anyway good advice, sadly those in a biggest need to hear it are not visiting this forums.

To be honest more than half the people on the forum need this advice. Many look to much at others and the apparently braindead crowd instead of themselves

I can quarantee that any player, I repeat any, can get over 50% winrate by even making a slightest attempt to follow those rules. Yet so many don't. "I play for fun" like playing somehow stops being fun when you win more. I don't get it. I have a friend that is constantly in top three of the team when he stops to think for a second when game loads, yet does not do so most of the time. I guess that most of the people just don't want to combine thinking with entertainment.
