    Don't be a show gloat- like being overly dramatic about something, like winning/losing

    Adaptability! Being able to change up your strategy on the fly, evolving your play and team choices, and responding to patterns in opponents can keep your success consistent and relevant.

    I guess I should elaborate. No matter how good you are at your role, a team will fail if they don’t collaborate and play together as a cohesive unit. Doesn't matter how good an individual player is if someone is off farming or defending a goal solo while the rest of the team is one man down on the bot lane and feeding the opponents to level up. Know what I mean? Maybe that’s a no-brainier, but it seems rare.

    I like that this topic can have an number of answers. It can be using a favorite pokemon or reaching the top one time or longevity.

    Adaptability is key, there are so many different matchups, so you need to be ready to adjust to anything.
