Lfg is a mess. It’s very rare to find good teammates to have synergy to push with…if you encounter them make sure to add them to your friend’s list. As that list builds up, you’ll find you won’t be using lfg anymore.
Just say " that was ghey" next time. That has never offended anyone.

I’ve met all my current main team friends through LFG, and they even put up with me occasionally having a rage moment. It’s nothing personal, everyone gets mad at the state of this game from time to time.
Everytime I’ve queued in LFG recently I try to be as constructive as possible with players I haven’t played with before. Whether it’s me telling them what I can do to help them next time, or ask what they want me to do differently, I make a solid effort to not blame. This helps to open the dialogue of what that person may be struggling with, and then you can make suggestions without offending anyone. It goes a long way in making a connection with someone you might want to queue with in the future.

If I’m raging at someone on my btag they ain’t staying on my btag.
You gotta get a feel of their character/personality. Sometimes, people will get butthurt from some interjection or statement and leave. Other times, people will simply leave because of a loss; it might be both of those things or more.
Just try to find people you’d have fun qing with. I’d queue with you on my not-so-great sub rogue to get some games going and to work on some progress, but you’re ally :^).
LFG is a big fishing pond, sometimes you’ll find people that you’d like to continue playing with later on or sometimes you’ll find people that are toxic and refuse to try and make a group effort into becoming better as a unit.

Everytime I get into lfg, especially with higher rated players, I always ask if I can do anything better. I never blame anyone or I blame myself. But, I’ve noticed as I get higher rating, people get even more toxic. Most 2400 players I play with are more toxic then 1800s or below.
You will have to find emotionally developed people and that can be challenging in this game.
If they leave you dodged a bullet. Anyone who has ever progressed is willing to look at what they could have done better each mach and talk about it. That said some people simply have lower aptitudes than other and reach their limit quicker.
Their is a large crowd in this game that is entitled and believe they can do no wrong. You wont progress with those people so just move on. Unfortunately LFG is full of them.
Also i would ignore players posted “experience” I assume most lie as i very frequently make better progress with unrated players than ones that boost 2.7k+
Not everyone wants to chit chat after each match about what could have been done better and coach someone on how to improve.
Even when lower rated players have asked me this, mainly when I queue with locks on my rdruid, they don’t heed the advice. I can tell someone to do something, but to have them recognize that in a match, two games after I gave specific advice, react accordingly and pull it off is highly unlikely.
Like at what point does it not hit home that a lock should root and fear a paladin when he has a mage partner if that paladin is crossing the map to come hoj me? How long does it take my lock partner in 3s to realize he can’t just slap fears out willy-nilly vs RMX and expect the target being targeted to survive a go? Not everyone wants to suffer through you learning something.
Try healing lfg and then you might understand why healers are on the border of insanity.
I have, I have a hpal at 1800 in 2s and 3s by doing LFG…
Did you find it exhilarating weeding through the ragers and mongo players? Did you luck out having someone chill and knew what they were doing?
Since I’m a healer, I got to pick everytime and get the best players. And again, I wasn’t getting mad at him, so calm down.
The game is toxic AF… nature of the beast. It’s a 15 year old game many people have been playing for years and losing to dumb stuff tilts them… and LFG for arenas is just awful anyways. I miss teams!
can confirm lfg on healer is so much different than dps.
