How To Deal With Close Friends With Toxic Narratives

I have been struggling to play with some of my IRL friends because they get tilted over some narratives about the game.

I'm not the worlds greatest LoL player. But I am a couple metals above my friends. My Social nature and love for organized play has me playing flex and clash regularly with people much better than me. And I can't help but notice that these high level players arn't complaining about these narratives my friends get mad about. In fact the exact strategies my friends complain about are childs play to these players who have the answers.

Going back to playing with my IRL friends afterwards is like nails on a chalkboard. Listening to them complain about things that are so beatable while simultaneously refusing to do anything differently is killing me. I would just let it go and play to my own fun but its hard for me to enjoy a game when my teammates are mad about random stuff in my ear all game every game. And they don't want me to find answers for them. Any advice is taken as an insult. Ive tried working on my communication and delivery. I am usually talented at communicating with empathy. But they are just so stuck on these narratives. What can I do?

Surrendering is cooperative

The "Stop holding me hostage" community goes about getting what they want in entirely the wrong fashion. Surrendering is something we have to agree on and do together. If you want to FF you have to protect your teams willingness to co-operate. That means don't flame, don't blame, don't steal cs, don't stop trying, and don't make threats. You can't be surprised your team refuses to cooperate with you after doing those things.

Personally I vote yes regardless. But for the sake of getting 4 yes votes. If you want to FF try your best and ask nicely.
