About this time last year I found myself determined to personally tutor a bunch of noobs. So when one turned up I would establish they spoke at least some English and then give them a try on my team.
Frustratingly I found that about 80% of them would die three times and rage quit about 3 or 4 minutes in, which sort of killed my enthusiasm. Other winning behaviour would be me carefully explaining that we need to buy Fortified Structures and Currency and they would just become abusive if I asked them to get anything from Citadel. Its hard to train anyone when they just rage quit and/or refuse to engage or learn their role. As such I rather gave up on new noobs.
That said I am a sucker for good manners, if a player is willing to be polite, accept a little instruction from someone who clearly knows the game infinitely better than them I will happy tutor them or just be on their team so they gain experience. There is for example a mate of one of the better players who comes on every so often, lovely guy, utterly crap at demigod. But he is perfectly pleasant, so I will happily(ish) lose games all night with that person.
Conversely some players think it’s OK to be rude angry and abusive, so they can find someone else to go on their team, I won’t.
But certainly, for any of you who are capable of maintaining a fairly basic level of civility and if you find a noob who is able to do the following 1)Take basic instruction 2)NOT ragequit 3) NOT be rude, then I will be fine with adding to your team even if it is an obvious loss, so that player can develop a bit. If you actually manage to find any new noobs that can fulfil all of those demanding requirements then superb and well done.
