I'm assuming you're a Singaporean playing on GarenaSEA based on the slang your friends used. Honestly, the biggest problem lies in their fragile egos and typical 'kiasu/kiasi' (afraid to die/can't cope with loss) attitudes. Alot of players tend to ignore the fact that there's not much penalty for losing in a computer game, so just go for it no matter how impossible it seems.

What I ALWAYS do when I soloqueue is to grit my teeth, expect the worse case scenarios (eg. team filled with feeders and ragequitters) and mentally prepare for it. Sounds pessimistic but I never expect to win, instead I look forward to these uphill battles as a challenge of skill to improve myself.

NOTE : What works for me might not work for you, don't take that mindset if you're not willing to do a lot of self-reflection on mistakes or if you don't have enough patience. Getting into this soloqueue psyche isn't neccessary when doing a premade, because you know your buddies are competent enough.
