"I'm muting everyone the second the game starts and alt-tabbing until it does"

This should be copy-pasted and said the instant queue pops if you're G3 or lower. I mean let's be honest, no actual communication occurs here and 99% of chat is just flaming or trolling.

The flaming will still occur, but if the flaming is directed towards you, your teammates will say 'stfu idiot he muted you just play'. And then people will finally play instead of type.

And maybe just once I can carry a clown fiesta team who wants to type about how Karma is 'purposeky steeling every1s kils report pls'

I hate this toxic game.

That's an unhealthy way to think of things.

Report and mute them when they flame you. Doing so earlier means they know they can't rely on you and can put people on tilt before the game even starts.

If they start complaining, it is evidence of their lack of experience in League of Legends, (Clearly they have not seen the tip that reads that teams have a higher win rate when they aren't flaming each other) and thus a hallmark of their poor skill. They get shifted down the priority ladder, and kills should go to you instead of them. This isn't trolling, it's just playing the game the way that gets you the best chance of winning. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs] Be sure to hit Ctrl+4 every time you get a kill. It's important to celebrate your successes so you can stay positive.

Lol what game are you playing?

I'd be sitting writing reports more than playing the game if I bothered to actually do that every single time someone in my game flamed somebody.

The lower the elo, the more toxic, tilting, and useless the chat function is. Maybe once you get to high plat / diamond, people will actually bother to strategize, use chat to coordinate ganks, and say something other than "LOL U SUK NOOB" followed by racial obscenities.

I'd be totally okay if my teammates literally never spoke at all until mid/high plat, because it's all useless tilting garbage.

edit Oh gotcha you've literally never played a ranked game before. That's why. Yeah, clearly I don't care if people want to be toxic and troll in normals. If someone goes tele/ghost and runs down mid 30 minutes in a norm, I don't care, it's their own time and account they're losing. Let's see you try to increase your rank and have your games made completely unwinnable because of racist trolls who sprint down mid to feed as fast as they can because the support got a kill instead of them.

I don't play ranked, no, but the mentality applies regardless.

You know you don't actually have to write comments on the report itself as long as the checked reason is an accurate summary, right?

Well if you don't play ranked, this topic doesn't reply to you. You haven't seen the absolute cesspool that is Ranked League of Legends and I can certainly guarantee you that you won't keep that chipper attitude very long after the 5th game in a row of your jungler going in at 10% hp, dying instantly, then proceeds to troll and feed the rest of the game, forcing you to get a demotion, and there was absolutely nothing you could have done about it.

Repeat that 10 times. You will be pulling your hair out every time you see a teammate type a single line, because its all toxic flaming filth 99.999999999999999% of the time.

That is statistically improbable.

If you report people, the bans alone should do the work for you.

What? There are millions of people that play ranked, and the vast majority are toxic at every opportunity. Have you ever played a ranked where someone didn't passive aggressively spam the "?" ping over your body after you die, or type "WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY" in chat? These are probably the most tame versions of trolling in this game, and most involve the team basically devolving into a flamefest by 15 minutes if they're not on the winning side. If this isn't your experience in ranked, then please tell me either what illegal drugs you are taking, or what delusions you suffer from.

And if someone gets banned, guess what - they create a new account and troll and flame brand new players and give them an awful experience to a new game.

You can report every single toxic person and get every single one of them banned, and 10 more people come to be just as awful as they were, saltier than ever because it's their 2nd/3rd/4th account and they just want to troll and flame.

Not sure how many hundreds of thousands of silver/bronze/low gold players there are, but certainly the couple hundred you'll play with over a season are a drop in the bucket compared to all the disgusting racists who are terrible then flame others for their own mistakes.

YrzenOct 14, 20162 votes

You know you can ask them to stop pinging that stuff, right?

The definition of harassment is "The act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands." and is a bannable offense if they continue to do it repeatedly after you tell them to stop.

If, as you say earlier, "99.999999999999999%" of other League players in ranked are toxic, and they are only toxic when losing, and you have a (roughly) 50% chance of losing, and everyone reported a toxic player after they behaved toxic, the entirety of League's ranked-playing playerbase would be banned very quickly.

We seem to be operating on completely different planes of existance. I already explained that people in norms are chill, the experience is more laid back and people are nicer.

My post is directed towards a ranked game, where you seem to assume people are logical and can be reasoned with. They are not and can not. If someone spams "WHY WHY WHY WHY ping ping ping", there is nothing you can say. They don't want you to say "well, I saw the Trist up top, and I figured that the Janna would be alone, so..", No, they don't want to hear that, they just want to flame and insult you.

Last game, I was mid, had a Kha sitting in the bush. I was completely OOM and he kept pinging Ahri who was turret hugging. I pinged him back, I pinged that my mana was gone and couldn't use any abilities. I pinged to PLEASE not fight her. I typed 'b' over and over in chat.

Did that stop him from turret diving an Ahri, eating charm, and giving her double buffs, ruining my lane, then flaming me for not flashing over 2 minion waves and autoing her under tower? Nope. Did it stop him from wandering around the enemy jungle at half HP, no wards, and everyone MIA? Nope. Did that stop him from throwing the rest of the game and purposely going in 1v5 because he was mad? Nope. Was there -anything- I could have done to salvage that game once he started throwing a tantrum for his own mistake? Nope.

The people in this game at lower elo are garbage - they are in that elo BECAUSE of their inability to reason or work as a team. You're toting 'aw just politely pls ask them to stop', and its ridiculous. You can't reason with a raging 13 year old who giggles while he runs down mid for the 13th time. You can't reason with a racist who just wants to spam obscenities in chat. You can't reason with someone spam pinging the "?" on you for 15 solid minutes. And you certainly can't carry them if they go out of their way to feed and throw because of them making bad decisions and blaming others for them.

Also, people are not only toxic when they are losing. People are just toxic for the sake of being toxic. Even if your team is ahead in ever way, people will find a way to insult you and throw the game over something ridiculous like taking red buff from adc or ks'ing from Riven. I've had games where the support took a single cs from lane 25 min in, when we were leading, they just said 'stole cs bye' and quit for the rest of the game. So no, people are not toxic only when losing.

If you try to be polite and communicate like a reasonable human being, you will be frustrated and disappointed over and over and over, and will eventually come to the conclusion that doing so is a waste of time. Time that could be spent trying to carry and win the game. Typing and communicating in this game leads to loss if you're anything lower than plat, almost guaranteed.

Did you only read the first line or something?

Perhaps it's my OCD, but I like reporting people and purging League of assholes bit by bit. As I said, if you ask and they don't cut that shit out, you can ban them. They can get banned. It says directly on Riot's instant feedback system page that accounts get punished within 15 minutes of the game's end. Do I need to link YouTube videos of people getting permanently banned on stream?

It's going to take more than one ruined game and one report for anything to happen.

Even if it did. Even if they got punished and perma banned after one game of toxicity, this game has 80,000 others that will happily take their place and ruin more games.

I know that bans and restrictions happen, but even after all the years of tribunal and bans, people still troll and flame incessantly.

Bans and punishments don't really work.

YrzenOct 15, 20161 votes

"Bans and Punishments don't work. Therefore reporting is pointless."

Maybe they don't work because they aren't being reported?

In severe instances, accounts can be banned after a single game. All of their champions, skins, hextech crafting, levels, runes, everything will be gone. This is the power in your hands, as a wronged player. You don't think it's worth it to lay waste to account after account?

Get on my level. You don't need to get mad or upset man, or just lay back and accept it. Go ahead and take pleasure in your spite.

Normal is where people who are the casual players- play and have fun it's "cleaner" than in Ranked where something is on the line and when something is on the line(elo) people go crazy.

" You know you can ask them to stop pinging doing that stuff, right?"

LOL, you will just see MORE of it.

Everyone knows what harassment means the problem is the damage will be done and I don't recall any restitution from riot with the games that I lost because of trolls and toxic players, have you?

Your team doesn't need to be losing for any toxic player to be toxic. Say your team is Winning but there's that 1 player that is 0-3-3 you BETTER believe they will be talking with some toxic s$it why ? because their looking bad even when they have a 50% chance of winning the game. Ever notice the player that brings up the " Surrender option" is the player with the worst KDA, even when your winning they will bring it up 24/7 as much as possible because their tilted or just garbage.

willcuttOct 15, 2016

actually the whole the worst on your team just isn't true i've surrender games where i was 3/0 4/0 just because they are unwinnable for some reason doesn't happen a lot but it does happen

III BAKURYU III Oct 15, 20161 votes

I'm not saying some games with everyone on the team has nice KDAs I'm saying they normally spam ping it You're team down 3 kills around the 45 min mark and everyone is alive for both teams and that same person brings up the "surrender" option, in which at that point it only takes 1 teamfight and which ever team either ace the opposing team or just eliminate 2-3 of the players on that team.

III BAKURYU III Oct 15, 20161 votes

K, sorry for commenting hastily about the behavior section in your post.

When I know someone is being toxic or "troll" when I already muted them at the start of the game is when they start the (?) pings every 3 secs, or just ping 24/7 for some of the obvious reasons.
That is when I report them and if not and they weren't toxic It will still give me enough time to hit the report button and say in the "comment box" pinged 200 times, did the ? 24/7 and while I'm doing that I will have enough time to see what they say in the end game lobby to add to the report.

While that person may get banned I can always just block them and never see them again. My method works from my knowledge instantly while the let Riot take care of it and ban them takes like 5 years it seems.

III BAKURYU III Oct 15, 20161 votes

Agree it seems the "? Missing" is the new fad right now and it's annoying I'm STILL waiting for Riot to have an option to remove pings all together. I said "Option" not get rid of it all together.

III BAKURYU III Oct 15, 20161 votes

"Report and mute them when they flame you". Or just mute them because your a wizard and you already know they will flame you.

" Doing so earlier means they know they can't rely on you" Huh? I need to flame back so they can trust me, I can't rely on them because it's solo Q who trusts 4 randoms before you even hit the start button to select which gamemode you want to play?

" If they start complaining, it is evidence of their lack of experience in League of Legends" Tried to explain that in my first year playing League but it's a lost cause because to them their already the best and they don't need tips because "They the real MVP"

III BAKURYU III Oct 14, 20163 votes

I mute EVERYONE at the start of the game.
I don't hesitate with the enemy team because I'm not playing the game to Talk or Chat with them PERIOD, INSTANT MUTE. For my team the ONLY time I don't instant mute is when I'm jungling at the start of the game and I get a leash I say "Thank You" or vice versa I'm playing top and I'm leashing someone normally my jungler says "TY" I want to respond "np" or whatever then I mute them also.
There isn't a reason on why you shouldn't mute everyone at the start of games.

What about lanes telling you about enemies etc ? Who CARES. When your teammates tell you the enemies summs their wanting ganks instantly nothing else, and does anyone notice the player who says " top no flash or Ignite etc" there DEAD so they just want ganks at that point because they got ganked or solo killed and they cant win their lane now without dying 24/7 because they cant farm under tower or miss 3-4 cs to not overextend. They don't keep up with the timers of the Flahes,TP,Ignite, heal etc mainly the TP and Flash, so just go into each game with the mentality that the enemy team players still have their flashes or summs. MUTE.
Toxic players. Pretty obvious but I'm not going to spend 10-15 mins per game defending myself on my mistakes,choices, or anything to my teammates. I don't have time to waste talking to them about s$it that doesn't matter at the end of the day. I die teammate says "Why" or " you suck" yep I died or another teammate died it happens MOVE ON.
Ever played a game mainly in botlane where your the support or adc but try to remember playing as the support and you dominate the lane and give 10-15 kills to the ADC and you win the game and at the end of the game your ADC says " Best support EVER! You did great, GJ, Nice, honored!" 2-3 games later you play with that same player in the the same roles and lane but they don't remember you and vice versa. You lose lane and the game ever notice that same player who played with you 2-3 games before will say " Kill yourself, you suck, uninstall, etc" So you get the same generic answers over and over and over again. You win " you're great, GJ etc etc" You Lose " you suck, garabge" makes 0 sense not to mute EVERYONE and once the game is over don't respond in the end game chat, NOTHING YOU SAY TO THEM ON WHY U DID WHAT YOU DID in game will click to them because YOU'RE WRONG AND THEIR RIGHT 100% of the TIME PERIOD.

dakota saturnOct 14, 20162 votes

I really, really like this post. It's common sense, yet it's easily forgotten.

Chatting in this game is 100% useless until high levels of play, which 99% of the people on these boards will never see in their lifetime.

III BAKURYU III Oct 14, 20162 votes

Thank you, I didn't really expect anyone to read my post as it's 3 paragraphs or respond to it So thank you for reading it fully and giving me a compliment!

Agree, 2 times and ONLY 2 times where muting your team shouldn't happen. 1. You play with 4 other friends and 2. You play in Diamond and above maybe just Master and above.

"It's the common sense, yet it's easily forgotten" I agree this game is an EASY game if you really look at it, it really is but players make it more difficult than it really is. You go to lane and not over extend, you farm and last hit, you don't fight in enemies minions, you ward, and you play the map in what I call "push-Pull" while not fighting too much early until the safest bet around the 30-35 min mark where death timers are a YEAR LONG it seems to get easy objectives in which at that point are FREE.

Push-Pull is when you're in a lane that you can't win easily say MonkeyKing and the Pantheon has more Hp or Dmg-items etc push the Lane if you dont' have summoner 12 so you can walk to lane without them hitting your tower so you can back without giving up a Kill or tower but only give up 4-5 cs(which in the long run you can be down 20-TWENTY CS) and it won't affect much early more so than Dying 24/7.
People just rage because they don't understand how Easy this game is at it's core.

Someone on your team gets ganked once " Their camping me, my team is garbage, GG"-teammate "Did you ward"-Me " It doesn't matter"-teammate.

Like it's so simple but people don't take a breath and just relax, over thinking something will cause you to make mistakes and do poorly in the end. When you die you don't need to respond on "why-when-who" just don't respond or chat and just let the game do what it has been since it was created (PLAY OUT).

Thank you again, means alot.

The only time I don't mute is in Aram because for the most part( not every game) but for the most part players are just having fun and chilling.
I don't care much about talking to random people who I don't know personally.
I could be talking to a 5 year old kid and I wouldn't know and once I say something that "Sounds inappropriate" next thing I'm being sued or some shit idk.
I could be talking to a dog or an alien or something, the point is I don't want to have a "friendly" conversation because I'd bee the only one that will keep the conversation "friendly".

Hrd2H1tOct 15, 20161 votes

The chat is incredibly valuable for relaying complex information. Things such as "I'm splitpushing, please defend", "Please buy X item for Y reason", and many more things are hard to communicate in pings without anything being lost in translation.

Also, summoner spell cooldown messages are very useful. If flash and/or heal are down, ganks will be more effective until the spells are back up. Without flash, ganks are harder to escape, meanign you will more likely die.

TL;DR - Stop muting everyone if you have no reason to believe they are toxic. You can just wait until they call you something before you mute them.

III BAKURYU III Oct 15, 20162 votes

"I'm splitpushing, please defend" You ping " on my way" when you decide to split push and head to a specific lane and anyone with a brain will think ok X player is going away from the nexus we need to be on our toes.
( what you will hear in solo Q, F$$$ you)

" Please buy X item for Y reason" Who listens to that logic in solo Q, everyone thinks their items that they get are more important than listening to someone preach to them for what items to get. That's like asking players to buy Pink wards you ask and you already know the outcome... "whispers in ear- they won't" little secret between you and I.

"Summoner spell cooldown messages are very useful" I AGREE............. If Darius summoner 4 and you need to tell your jungler you can always just

Hit tab
Scroll to Darius's flash and ping it

It will say Darius flash// That will alert your team that he has no flash, you wouldn't ping it if you does have flash that's like pinging the enemy Nasus is alive when your team is clearly watching him.

I'm not going to stop muting people just because they MIGHT be a good guy, EVERYONE is a nice person who fights the good fight and (1 for and all for 1( at the START of the game wait until you start to lose and the Toxic flood gates will open.
Not to mention I'v played about 3 years of LOL and almost every game has 2-3 toxic players, maybe- maybe I'v had 10 total games where toxic chat isn't being spammed and 4 out of the 10 was arams.

dakota saturnOct 15, 20162 votes

This is just not true. You can type what you're doing. You can ping what you're doing. You can write an essay explaining why you're doing what you're doing.

It doesn't matter. In this elo, people are pants-on-head retarded. They won't read it, or will argue with it, or will flame and troll because you decided to split push instead of fighting a 5v5 where your team is horribly undergeared/leveled, and a 5v5 is a guaranteed destroyed inhib or nexus - it doesn't matter. They'll flame, spam 'report xx for not helping' and basically fuck up the game, tilt you, and prevent any chance of you salvaging the game, even if you get an inhib and force them to back from their push. People don't fucking care.

And you think I haven't tried politely asking the top laner to please buy armor after Riven kills him for the 3rd time? People don't care - they want to follow their mobafire build that they do every single game and fk any deviance at all - if you try to suggest otherwise and your elo is G3 or lower, you will get flamed, guaranteed. Mid laner feeding their enemy leblanc, and you ask them to please pick up just a regular 450 gold MR mantle? Nope, flamed, called noob, spammed to 'fking help gank her you scrub'. Sure buddy, I'll get right on that....

Low elo is 1v9.

And I do have reason to believe every single person is toxic. Because they are. If you give anyone in G3 or lower even the slightest disadvantage, you can bet they'll spam in chat the rest of the entire game about how its YOUR fault, and mess up your focus.

You need to just do what you feel is the right thing to do - and fk everyone else. At least until you get to an elo where people can dress themselves when they wake up.

SithesisLordOct 15, 20161 votes

What about lanes telling you about enemies etc ? Who CARES.

Your jungler does, for one. It doesn´t mean they want oh so desperately a gank to save their asses. Shit, i did these 'Top F' down in Silver when i was winning lane even. It´s useful information. Even if they don´t know the timers of the spells, they know it's down for a long few minutes, crucial minutes that mean game won or game lost.

III BAKURYU III Oct 15, 20162 votes

Indeed hearing 97% of flame and toxic players just for 3% of enemies summs.
Can't you ping the enemies flashes and summs? and it show like (Darius (flash) it won't say the timer itself but you can just look to the left and see when your teammate posted it in chat and just add 5 mins to the time they posted it.

Mr SelatciaOct 14, 20162 votes

Honestly, the last game I played the second one person was toxic I just muted everybody. Communication by pings is all I really need (as long as my team has map awareness). It didn't affect my game, in fact, it kept my confidence right where it should be. Then, I didn't have to be worried about getting harassed over a mistake, WHICH EVERYONE MAKES, NOT EVEN THE PROS ARE PERFECT.

III BAKURYU III Oct 15, 20161 votes

Exactly, early on when I first played this game when I would chat 3 years ago I would tell my team what I was about to do or just game stuff and would literally take 3 years because I would misspell words and I would go back to correct them and it just took a while and after 3 years I was finally able to get the message sent. Pings are more viable than typing it's quick and simple and gets the point across it also helps with the mini map and gets people to look at that thing every 5-10 secs instead once for the whole game like some people do. I don't get tilted easily but I would be lying if I said when I would see " you F-ing suck, garbage etc" it would get to me and honestly while it doesn't bother me I would just rather not deal with it.

BeldairOct 14, 20162 votes

I find muting counter productive...from my experience in norms...communication is vital.. Whether it's just letting your team know their lane opponent's summoners are down or to be careful because they don't know where their opponent went, it's key to teamwork..

I don't even mute the enemy team because I do enjoy playing and joking with them too..

I would rather have a fun and honorable game than a victory with a rude team.

If I can have fun with even the enemy team, then it is a Victory to me because this is a game and the point is to enjoy yourself..

Now yes, trying to win is important but not more so than having fun. Its why I don't play ranked.

Again I'm not discussing normal games. They are vastly different - like you say, people joke, people are laid back, people just play for fun. Troll builds are common but it's fine - it's an agreement that the game will be a chill experience because nothing will be gained or lost at the end of the day.

However, when you try to make it a goal to raise your skill level so you can get past the point where people are just awful and make the worst decisions, and those same awful teammates decide to flame everyone, making everyone focus on typing instead of playing, the game is over.

Honestly, once the flaming begins, I just want to ff20 and go afk until the game ends. Teamwork at that point is done, coordination is done, and the chance of winning has dropped to less than 10%. It doesn't matter how fed you are. It doesn't matter how good you are. Once your team decides to act like jackasses and flame and troll, the game is over and there is nothing you can do about it.

"Whether it's just letting your team know their lane opponent's summoners are down"

Hit that champions summs you can just hit tab and click on their summs and it will post the " X champion Flash" that will let your team know that champions summs are down.

" they don't know where their opponent went"

? Enemy is missing ping, if you think their roaming to mid lane you can just hit the ? in your lane, ? in the river between your lane and the mid lane and ? in the mid lane with a danger ping or just ? in your lane and danger ping at the next closet lane.

" Now yes, trying to win is important but not more so than having fun. Its why I don't play ranked."

50/50 and I can only speak for myself but winning is fun and playing a game that your winning is fun, getting the smackdown put on you but having a few laughs is fine too I suppose. Normals are 100% different than ranked play ranked( more than 2 games) say 50 and don't spread them out and you will understand why people would rather mute to avoid the annoying 5 year old kids.

BeldairOct 15, 20161 votes

I understand that...but I avoid doing ranked not because of the toxic 5 year olds with no life... But the fact that occasionally I have to afk from a game to help out with something (or someone) around the house..

Instead of never playing a game I like, I at norms cause it doesn't severely affect someone.

Yes, it wastes their time..I am always sorry about that... But better their time than someone's lp when they are trying to climb.

In voice chat, they'll just outright say 'why the fk did you do that?' and you have to respond because you're on a phone call with said jerks/morons, waste time, pay less attention to the game, get tilted bc flamers etc etc.

No need to mute everyone, just mute the Yasuo, Riven, and/or whichever Gosu-wannabe is playing your ADC.

Reviving necro- threads which already had their time to shine is against Universal Rules and as such I will be locking this thread to make sure it lands at the bottom of the howling abyss. I would strongly encourage looking at how old a thread is before commenting on it.

Should there be any questions regarding this action feel free to reach out in our Moderation Discord.

I'm not stupid enough to use my game account on the forums where I can have it affected/punished because of people who had their feelings hurt by an opinion on a forum.
