I am getting insane flame.

I am solo Silver 4. I am bad. Like, died 3 times in first ten minutes bad. I know how the game works I know tactics, even some advanced ones. Yet I can't replicate them in real game. I got carried in placement rankeds. Both flex and solo. At the start of the game, I always say, I am bad, I'm sorry for that, I got carried in placements, I don't belong here. When the enemy team has upper hand, I often admit it's my fault. I beg them to not flame me, because I know I'm useless, and they just lose time typing. Even tho, I get insane flame. Sometimes even from the enemy team. Sometimes my team just ints to finish the game. Other time they surrender after we killed 4 players on the enemy team (including carry), only one or two of us died. I'm in Dore need of help. What satisfies you when you are tilted? What do I need to say? Muting isn't preferable option, because when you don't reply, they often just throw you in the enemy team. (using explosive flower/tahm kench) I am often told that they wish I died, that I have brain tumor etc. It's really saddening because lol is currently the only activity that keeps me entertained. Maybe I should try to do something else.

In my experience it's really a common issue, i see players flaming **every ** game, instant feedback doesn't give me feedback about banned people so i assume they are not. I'm playing less than i should and not spending real money on this game until this problem get issued. Matchmaking can be bad, but the atmosphere it's a nightmare. (sad amumu)

When you set people up to perceive you poorly, it contributes to their poor view of you.

When public speaking, one of the worst things to start off with is, "Sorry I'm so poor at public speaking". When you're trying to talk to someone at a party, don't start out with, "I'm so bad at small talk." When you're trying to flirt, don't say, "I'm so awkward".

Not only does this focus your audiences attention on any of your mistakes, it also brings your focus onto all of your mistakes, really increasing your stress levels and reducing your performance.

Don't ask people to not flame you. Doing so does only one thing: It shows anyone who wants to annoy you that flame is really effective. What you should do instead is mute them. Once that happens, they are unable to flame you effectively. You will still be able to report them after the game, and their entire chatlog will be evaluated, not just the part that you saw.

When tilted, I go do something that I know makes me feel good about myself. Currently that is using DuoLingo to learn a couple languages. Other people could choose to exercise, go on a walk, talk to people that you love, clean house, read a book, or play a more challenging game like Mordeheim: City of the Damned.

Mordeheim helps me with League because in League, if you lose a game it has no impact on your ability to win the next game, but defeat, or even just an unlucky roll can cost you hundreds of gold or kill a favorite character in Mordeheim. It makes League feel like a children's game by comparison.

What satisfies you when you are tilted?

I don't tell people to kill themselves or get a brain tumor. But when you do too many questionable plays I will probably say something "negative" like "what are you doing, do you have no map? why do you not use your trinkets, how can you have 0 vision score at 15 min? why do you never react to pings? why are you playing so passive and giving free objectives if you don't want to win we can just ff and stop wasting time"

And I mean what I say. I am not tilted, I just want to win and if winning isn't possible I don't want to waste time with team mates that don't know how to win but also refuse to just surrender.

So there is a slight difference between players who only want to insult you and players that are just very confused and frustrated because of your performance.

I don't care what you say unless you actually have some good reason to play the way you do that I didn't notice, otherwise I only care about how you play and that you don't do the same shit again.

Players who just insult you like " you are bad, you are bad ahaha, you are [insert elo], you suck etc" they don't care about the game and probably are as bad as you, they just don't even understand why they are losing and are trying to blame it on anything they find. If you died 3 times they will pick you.

I really don't care if you died 3 times, if the match is still winnable you just need you to keep playing and stop doing stupid shit, get your farm, don't ignore your team, don't die for nothing.

And stop telling everyone that you are bad, it doesn't change anything, your ACTIONS are more important, saying "I am bad" just makes you a target for frustrated kids that only care about bashing you, while they are losing.

Rito doesn't make a difference between negative feedback and actual flame. So if anyone criticizes you in any way shape or form you can report them, I just think that won't help you, because there will always be flamers. You just need to learn the game.

There also is a very simple way to deal with negative comment if you are unsure, just ask them what you should have done so they can show you that they know better. If they don't answer or just keep saying "you are bad", just mute and report these stupid kids.
