How to deal with players with main character syndrome on your team.

Keep playing as if they don’t exist. As long as they are not dying, they will win you the game at some point. 

Your job is to prepare on the side for when that happens. Make sure they never die in team fights. They will then get ultra kills and end the game. 

Unless intentionally hard griefing the game, these people are your winning condition. They are VERY strong and know what they’re doing, but they are not high immortal or all-knowing. 

I used to think I’ll always lose because of them. Until I saw they delay until they become unkillable. 

You need others to be strong in order to win games. Do not solo carry every single game. Let others do it, and modify the outcome of fights from afar on a carry hero that can step in and still 1 v 9 if your team couldn’t a hundred percent do it on their own. 

I noticed the games that I win have two characteristics. I tend to average 40 to 60 kills and assists with less than 5 deaths, and I have teammates who are all good and strong, even if the enemy team is still better. 

You can’t 1 v 9 with bad teammates. It’s extremely hard and very rare and you must have no counters and space created. Since Crusader, you need all teammates to be good at the game, except maybe the supports. Do not tilt your cores no matter what. 

I’ve seen my cores play 1 billion plus their normal performance the second they think I’m smurfing from top 100. Do not judge until you stomp and reassure them that you have their backs. (As opposed to a clinkz with random kills that lead to nowhere and protects none of your teammates). 

Tip of the day: Always stay behind one of your cores, and ask one of the supports to be with you both at all times. Do not farm miles away from your team and then tp to fights. Unless you have boots of Travel 2, you will always arrive too late. The dead lane concept is everything. Jenkins has an old video about it. It’s the reason why you’re losing in low MMR.
