This has been an interesting read. While I find the method to be both unbelievable and generally non-responsive in Ranked games (I have seen people throwing these statements around, but unskilled play remains unskilled play), the concept of it is something very real and useful in games, and it's something I would definitely want to try to apply more to.

I've found after many many many ranked games that the best and fastest way to garner trust is to show quick results, and be on the ball with objectives. Flamers are usually unlikely to start solo-ing, and will tend to stick with the team; it is people who were flamed who tend to afk-farm or feed on purpose. Therefore, it is usually safe bet to tell directly the flamer to shut up, talk to the feeders, and to make them follow you. Pings work very well in my experience, because no matter how much trust you have, there is that 1 retard who thinks Baron is more important than their inhibitor and turret.

Ultimately, we are playing a game of results. Show results, bark orders, and dont be mean; that in itself should let you control enough people to win games.
