That’s not true, you simply have to exude the confidence to do so. You don’t become better by just being content at standing in place.
What I usually do is ping and address individual people and if they don’t agree with me or my push I tunnel them into it. Don’t address everybody as a group and be like here is my read, good luck. Really press it into everyone, that is how the day is going to be, they are the push and everything else needs to make way. Your opinion is the one that should count and is prevalent. What works for me, doesn’t work for everybody, but giving up after one failed powerwolf is not the way to go man. You’re new, bask in the experience and you’ll become better as time goes on.
If you want a reference for how bad I was at first, my first scum game was Grande Idea here. I made it to final 6 or so, but just by lurking.
