2 *raises hand* Been trying to do that for the last couple years. It's extremely hard and maybe even impossible for me in 10v10 games though. Teaching new players in 2v2 and 3v3 environments seems much easier, more efficient and more rewarding (the later because a single newbie just has a larger impact). 2 *raises hand* Been trying to do that for the last couple years.

5 I usually try to fix an allies' mistake before giving them tips. In some cases there are too many things I want to do first and it's hard to find the time to actually talk to other people. This is mostly the case in games where a large portion of my team is completely new of very unskilled. Again large games have a higher tendency to have many new players per team. 5 I usually try to fix an allies' mistake before giving them tips.

8 To me the most frustrating scenarios are when new players do not understand me because of a language barrier or when new players do not respond/react at all and I have to wonder whether they do not notice me, can not find out how to chat or whether they just don't speak English. 8 To me the most frustrating scenarios are when new players do not understand me because of a language barrier or when new players do not respond/react at all and I have to wonder whether they do not notice me, can not find out how to chat or whether they just don't speak English.
