Welcome back to this week's Top 10 list! In the spirit of the new year, let us take the year in review, looking for things that all League of Legends players can improve on and taking the next year by the horns.

Check out this Top 10 list of New Year Resolutions for League players below!

Don't Rage At Teammates

According to the latest tooltip in the last game I played, players who abuse their teammates lose 16% more games. With this in mind, each game that you lose is two games worth of LP that you have to win to make back.

If this statistic is really true, then if you stop abusing your teammates, you could potentially gain LP 48% faster?! Sounds like something that is worth putting a smile on.

Compliment Good Plays

If taking the rage out of League helps increase your win rate, increasing the compliments on League may increase your win rate as well. There are always plays once in a while that you see and say to yourself, "WOW that was sick". 

Even if it was executed by an enemy team player, complimenting the play may make your team less annoyed about dying to that play as well. No matter which team the player is on, it may also make you a new friend.

Make One New Friend Each Month

Most people may not be able to juggle too many friends and the responsibilities that come with them. However, successfully adding one new friend to your buddy list each month is certainly possible. While you are playing, look for people around your division to play with. You can either climb the ladder with them, or they can be motivation for you to climb to their level.

Play More Ranked

Do you get the ranked chills? Do you hands start shaking and your palms get sweaty at the mere thought of draft mode? Maybe 2016 is the year to get rid of all your fears. Jump into ranked, the worst you can lose is LP.

Practice Your Weakest Role

Are you the kind of person that enters a ranked game and says "Anything except jungle. Can't jungle"? This might be the year to practice that jungle role in normals. We all know that even when you try your very hardest, there are games where you are forced into your worst role. If you can overcome that weakness, you might find that you can start saying things like "Prefer Mid, can fill".

We all love those guys.

Figure Out How to Counter Your Worst Enemies

Does Zed always fry you on sight? Does Malphite always ruin your day? Try practicing these enemies in normals until you get the hang of their strengths and weaknesses. You should never be scared of a champion on the rift, even if they are not banned.

Some champions are more annoying to deal with than others, but they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

Get A Pentakill

The odds of a pentakill happening in each game are 1 in every 150+ games according to this infographic. The odds of getting a pentakill are 1 in every 1500+ games. Have you played that many yet? Maybe this is finally your year to accomplish greatness. Pentakill Greatness.

Buy A Pink Ward Every Game 

Pink Wards are reduced to 75 gold, the same price as the old green wards were. If you were the kind of person who never bought a green ward, you could take comfort in the fact that pink wards literally last forever if you can protect them. 

If you play as a marksman who never buys a pink ward, make 2016 your year to always keep one handy. You will definitely appreciate yourself when you stop a Rengar from instakilling you.

Introduce a Friend to League

Playing League of Legends with your real life friends is a great way to stay in contact and grow closer too. Maybe there's this cute gamer girl in class that's never played before. God knows the player base could use a better gender ratio balance. Halp.

Sleep More

Like all things, League is best taken in moderation. Many players tend to stay awake far too late into the twilight hours playing the game, which fades concentration and reduces your ability to win games. An extra hour of sleep each night may potentially boost you up a few divisions. Remember, Red Bull might give you wings, but wings don't win games!
