There’s no level in beginning a flamework or speaking this particular person out of it as a result of it goes in opposition to your curiosity.

Don’t troll the poisonous CS2 participant in your staff

One other factor we have to level out when speaking about coping with poisonous CS2 gamers in your staff is expounded to trolling. We’ve got tried messing up with these individuals to ” drive” them to vary, however this doesn’t work. Actually, it usually makes issues worse as a result of they turn into much more annoying.

Take a break

As an alternative of pushing your luck and shedding much more video games, it’s higher to take a step again and take a brief break from taking part in. It will enable you relax, which is extremely necessary as a result of it might probably additionally prevent from changing into a poisonous participant your self.

This may appear apparent, however lots of people overlook that CS2 really offers gamers the chance to kick somebody from their staff. As soon as that occurs, the staff will play with 4 gamers, which isn’t good as a result of you’ll have issues successful the match. Nevertheless, there are a lot of situations the place it is perhaps higher to play as 4 as a substitute of getting somebody in your staff who’s ruining the match.

If the “vote to kick” fails, the participant that you simply need to kick will turn into much more aggressive. This implies you have to be utterly positive that the vote will cross.

Attempt to keep optimistic 

Some poisonous CS2 gamers are often like that as a result of they care an excessive amount of about their rank. Usually, they’re scared of shedding and need to do every thing potential to win. Once they see that they’ve misplaced a couple of rounds, they will begin complaining and even use the all-chat and say issues like “GG we misplaced.”

When you end up in the same state of affairs (and belief us, you’ll), the most effective factor you are able to do is to attempt to inspire these individuals by staying optimistic. As we talked about, these kinds of poisonous CS2 gamers often need to win, so your aim must be to encourage them and inform them that it will likely be all positive and you’ll succeed.
