Ok Summoners: I've decided you all could use a fresh guide on how to keep winning matches in this game.

The Five F's of Failure : A Code to Keep You Winning.

The first F is for Focus.: You need to remain focused on you. Throughout the match , you will tend to try and take charge, as is only normal for us humans to do.. You will wander the map , looking at your team's builds, location, health..
It is only natural to do this.. but it is BAD! By worrying about them, you are losing focus on you! Remain focused on yourself, last hit those minions and win YOUR lane, you lose focus and you get ganked*. If you MUST ABSOLUTLY have to look, do it when it is 100% Safe to do so.
Remain FOCUSED on the match YOU are playing, not your team mate...
The second F is for Feelings. : You cannot let your feelings get in the way of your gameplay! If you become emotional , you will lose focus (remember the first F) .If you lose a match and you get pissed off, and queue up for another one all emotional , you will probably not play very well. Take a break, cool off. You lose your focus and you lose the match. If you die, DONT GET PISSED! ARRGHHHHH! RUSH THE ENEMY NEXT TIME I SEE THEM!!! -Die again- /ragequit. We have all done this, I have, I learned tho. by getting emotional you are lowering your guard and being open to attack from the enemy and your team. If you start a shouting match with your team, you are typing ... and NOT killing minions or enemy champions. Please don't let your feelings get hurt, be the bigger man/woman and stay focused! It really is just a game.

The third F is for Fighting : This game is a FIGHTING game, but not like you are probably used to. Over the years , we gamers have become acustomed to INSTANT BLAST BLAST DOOM HEADSHOT!!! DEADDDDDDDD!!!!!. This game is NOT that type of game. You need to pick your fights very carefully. It is a game of stratiegy and (back to first one) focus. When you fight, you need to remember who to attack, when to attack and WHY you are attacking that enemy. Your fights need to be only planned if they are in your advantage... Don't focus a tank instead of a squishy AD carry. Don't focus the wrong player... and DON'T FOCUS THE WRONG PLAYER! You need to learn the mechanics of this game, learn the champions of the game so you will understand WHY it is not smart to pick a fight in the jungle against certian enemies... why you don't focus alistar in a team fight and what your exact job is in the fight. If you have CC, use it. This is not Call of Duty . This is not Halo . This is not Diablo 2. It is point and click, but you really cant faceroll the keyboard and expect results... pick your fights, pick your enemies off!

The fourth F of failture is Failure!: Well here we come, the hardest of the rules to accept. But you need to accept failure if you expect to succeed. Every great mind has failed ... but they LEARNED FROM IT. If you fail, which you will... ADMIT IT TO YOURSELF. You may not like to admit going 5-20 was your fault to your team... but don't believe your own lies... analize your errors and learn from them. Failure is a VERY IMPORTANT PART OF SUCCESS. It shows you your own weekness, it shows you your strengths and it is a starting point. Everytime you fail, you learn what you DON'T do to succeed. Eventually, if you are smart enough to admit and learn from it, you will fail so much, you will start winning!

And the last F is Fatigue: We gamers hate to sleep. It interrupts our game time! What ? It's 4:O:Clock AM Already? I'm not sleepy tho... I cannot figure out why I keep losing these damned ranked matches! You need to remember that when you play tired , you lose focus (that word again), if you lose focus , you lose. I know you want to play, but please get some sleep. Playing with fatigue is not good for you, it is not good for your team and sure as HELL not good for your record. You don't think straight tired, you don't play good tired. Don't do it!

There are many other things involved in this game than just the "Five F's of Failure" , But by knowing them, following them, and learning from them... you can begin to succeed. Fail your ass off my friends! It only can get better from here.....

Gotta agree with any of your points, very well said.
Yet, the only thing I still probably fail at is avoiding to check what are my friends doing during a team fight if I am far away (and happens to get high dmg while I walk and don't focus my own champ xD)..
I probably do so because I am the one who "guides" the group so I'd like to see what are my members doing but sometimes it's indeed a big mistake..I started recording my own matches so I can check mistakes once we are done with the game..
