When i play unranked with my friends, meet other players or look through this subreddit, i feel like there is one basic thing missing in a lot of lower ranked players understanding of the game.

Please don't die. Stay ALIVE.

There is no need to hold a site against 4 enemies rolling onto a spot. Don't try the hero-retakes rushing alone onto a site because you have seen some flexinja videos. Don't face into a Reyna that already killed you 6 times in the match. Don't push all alone without utility because you want to make up your k/d.

Everybody has bad games, it happens that you only have 5 kills in a game, but you are alive still more worth to the team than dead.
