I tried actually being nice and positive in voice chat along with yelling about the stuff happening to me and letting my teammates carry me. I say “hello everyone” at the beginning and everything~
It helped me increase from 1299sr to 1800sr!
Shotcalling as a healer isn’t the most ideal but yelling that you have a tracer on you and seeing your team respond and murdering them is SOOOOOO satisfying.
Shot calling as a support is what you should be doing, it’s good for team 
Sadly positively won’t get you past gold because half the people playing are trying to piss you off or throw
LOL and I politely reminded my team to not abandon the payload this morning and told to go suck something… 
To your point, not responding the bad players but the good ones is the trick, it singles out the bad eggs even more.
Telling people what to do always breeds animosity. When I have to make that kind of call out I try to say something like “We need to get on the cart!” I try to always include myself in the conversation.
Nice to hear that is working for you, I’m also trying something different. Always been pretty quiet, but now i’m shotcalling in the loudest, and most toxic manner possible, works 50% of the time. Lol
I was very polite about reminding them. OTOH, other people on my team pointed out the person was acting like a douche.
Shot calling is the best way to carry in low elo. No amount of outperformance has ever done more for my team than shot calling did. It seriously is the best way to climb.
This is one of the biggest vc things I tell people. I always phrase my callouts to be team wide if I want a change so no one feels singled out. It also helps everyone feel included and forces the rest of the team to communicate about how we can change. I shot call fairly often, and just being polite and happy always improves games. If someone is being toxic, don’t stoop to their level. Ignore them and continue to help the positive members of the team. The toxic player(s) either give up and play in silence, or they rage and throw. Either way, don’t give them fuel to keep going
100%, most trolls just don’t know how to handle it when you actually talk to them. it’s cute af.
I find that when you get people like that you can handle them in one of two ways: 1) talk like you have a smile on your face or 2) make them feel uncomfortable, within bounds of the TOS.
I typically ask them if they want to kiss or something. Anything with the feeling of " 
" gets them every time, especially if they are the same gender as you.
If they ask me “you gay or something?” I’ll ALWAYS reply with “Yeah and?”, even when I don’t typically define my sexuality.
We will have none of this. You act like this is a team game or something, gtfo with all of that “cooperation” and shi-te.
Having played some games with you, I can confirm your shotcalling is filled with jovial optimism and positive reinforcement. Your healing is also lightyears better than what we have in bronze. You deserve a higher rank and would be there already if not for how bad the ladder currently is.
But some of us don’t get better with heals or sugar coating the dumpster floor. I personally respond better to toxicity. I find it entertaining. And there is a special kind of respect for gamers who tell it like it is. “widow ur trash” won’t get a report from me, in fact it’s an endorsement.
I dunno, things are getting pretty rough in the 1800 area and I believe it might have to do with my positioning. I’ve only been there for a few days though and have been working on my awareness and staying behind walls.
You respond better with positive reinforcement and play better too. You may find the toxic stuff funny, I do as well, but you can get that type of entertainment all throughout the ladder.
Being nice goes a long way. I had a straight week of good games, and I swear being nice and complementing people went a long way. Climbed 300 SR. Sadly the match maker decided to give me a straight week of people who were silent, or the most toxic you can imagine. — Like I’m not even joking I said “hi team” and the few times someone was in voice they said “F you” and they raged so hard, my complements and niceness were drowned out. Made me want to stop playing.
