Toxic Player Rehab

Zacster··8 votes·3,073 views

League of Legends is full of toxic players, and the truth is a lot of these toxic players do not know that they are toxic.

Let's evaluate if you may have toxic tendencies.

When you join solo queue do you say for example "ADC or I Dodge"?

When you win a game do you say things like, "gg ez" or "rekt"

When you lose a game and your kda is 3/12/0 do you say things like "My support fed" "jg didn't make any plays" "my team fed" "the other team were smurfs" "gg ez" "your champs were broken that's why you won"

Actions:

Do you afk when you're team isn't great?

Do you feed because you want the game to end?

Do you troll because you're bored?

Do you play Teemo?

If you have done any of these things you may be "Toxic". The first step to cleanse yourself from this toxicity is to acknowledge that you are toxic.

If you have accepted that you are toxic, I suggest you speak to a Diamond-Challenger player. They may be able to help you since I'm almost sure they didn't get to that rank by being toxic.

Have a great non-toxic day :)! ~1337JMAN

The very idea that "anyone under d5 is garbage " suggests that diamonds can be just as toxic as any bronzie.

Did I say anyone under d5 is garbage?

Provengreil1 votes

Not that I'm aware of but it's an extremely pervasive mentality, to the point that asking for help must be prefaced with a mention of how shitty your (rank) ass is to be taken seriously, and that mentality springs from attitudes at the top.

how is dodging if you don't get your lane "toxic"?

im not forcing anyone to give me my lane. im asking for it. and if i don't get it, i dodge.

jungle is the only thing i can hard carry when im playing it. why would i play another role?

Might be so you can actually learn to carry in other roles? Problem with everyone in the game is everyone wants to be one trick ponies. It's not Burger King you can't have it your way every game.

shyv2 votes

i've been playing for 4 yrs. i've mained every role at least once. and this season i've chosen to only play jungle. there's literally nothing wrong with that.

Xilixer1 votes

there is everything wrong with that. your being awfully selfish and need focus on teamwork not trying to get your lane.

shyv2 votes

why are yall so whiny

Xilixer1 votes

why are you selfish?

shyv1 votes

no but seriously have you ever considered like, going outside and dealing with real world problems instead of petty shit like "this person wants to dodge champ select and will be given a fair time and LP penalty for their actions, how disgusting, what a selfish human being"

Xilixer1 votes

so your basically ok with screwing over your teammates just because you want to play what you want? its a team game. if you want a solo game go play call of duty or a single player game.

shyv1 votes

WHO THE FUCK CARES it doesn't even affect them at all if i dodge a lobby. they literally just have to requeue. quit whining holy shit i feel like im in high school.

This post sound toxic to me

Zacster3 votes

I'm amazed on how many people are either taking this post seriously or being offended by it smh.

Sukishoo3 votes

Let's see..

When you join solo queue do you say for example "ADC or I Dodge"?

Nope. I like to play Support or Jungle.

When you win a game do you say things like, "gg ez" or "rekt"

Never,

When you lose a game and your kda is 3/12/0 do you say things like "My support fed" "jg didn't make any plays" "my team fed" "the other team were smurfs" "gg ez" "your champs were broken that's why you won"

Nope never.

Do you afk when you're team isn't great?

Nope.

Do you feed because you want the game to end?

Not always, but have done this... so Guilty.

Do you troll because you're bored?

Nope.

Do you play Teemo?

Yes. I love my toxic filled champion.

I'm fairly sure that 102% of 92.5% of toxic players know they are toxic.

I also know that 47% of statistics are made up.

I rarely talk except for jokes and giving orders/advice in times of desperation.

I will let someone die before killing whoever they're fighting if

  • They take cs from my lane while we're not actively pushing for a turret.
  • Do the same to me, regardless of if it was intentional or not.
  • Take a buff I was killing and didn't show signs of leaving for someone else.
  • Are playing Triforce Ezreal
  • They talk too much
  • They use emoticons
  • They used an irl name in chat or their irl name was called in chat.
  • They made a joke about my name with whisper as a verb rather than the noun for Jhin's gun.

I will never gank a lane if

  • Their build makes no sense. Note - I don't mean unpopular/suboptimal, I mean actual nonsense buys.
  • They ping for assistance more than twice in a minute or ten times over the course of the laning phase.
  • Are playing Teemo
  • They talk too much
  • They use emoticons
  • Ask for a gank via chat after already pinging or after dying 1v1.
  • I've observed the competition, am playing Udyr Shyvana MasterYi and have come to the conclusion that my team is not required to win.
  • They used an irl name in chat or their irl name was called in chat.
  • There's a 4 man premade.
  • They made a joke about my name with whisper as a verb rather than the noun for Jhin's gun.

I will put 85% less effort if

  • I'm winning and someone makes comments about throwing every time they die in a teamfight.
  • We're too far ahead and I want to reach full build before the game ends.
  • We're too far behind and I'm playing an outdated champ and have become bored.
  • I'm playing with really bad friends in a group and the enemy is equally bad/worse so I want it to be more interesting/challenging by giving a 4v5 advantage.
  • A pubstomp champion on my team is successful and making the game boring.
  • I'm playing blind pick.
  • Someone talks too much.
  • Someone uses emoticons.
  • I see an irl name in chat.
  • There's a 4 man premade.

Am I toxic? Probably.

saying GG EZ is not toxic. im sorry, but any sort of competitive talk // trash talk surrounding the game should not be considered toxic in a competitive esport.

i think most of our community needs to grow up and stop crying about someone being mad they played poorly. if you play poorly in a team game. both your enemies and your team are more than allowed to point this out. anything related to the game is subject to criticism.

toxicity is when someone is being negative in any context that ISNT related specifically to gameplay.

if your CS is trash. and the enemy says youre garbage at cs. that is not "toxic"

gg no re

RIOT needs to sit down. write up a long article saying that this is not toxic. INSTEAD of staying quiet on that, and saying "well we're gonna punish the worst offenders."

they really need to stand up and say look people, this not the problem. the real problem is the people that go out and afk, or feed intentionally, or call your mother bad names. and anything not related to gameplay.

at the end of the day my point is this, regardless on what I call toxicity or not doesn't matter, but RIOT should be clear about what is and ISNT considered toxicity.

it shouldn't be left to judgement or their shouldnt be confusion in the future, that is all :) sorry long post, here's an aatroxAatrox

SoloQ is not a competitive sport

Aatrox Dajar3 votes

don't undermine the sentiment like that.

its competitive.

the whole POINT of a ranked queue is to be competitive and not a friendly game. a game to win.

StarxPower1 votes

And guess what? One of the best ways to consistently win games is to not act like a child in game. I don't even know where you get the idea that telling your teammates that their CS is garbage will automatically make them CS better (and not hate you for the rest of the game).

But my original point still stands, Ranked is not a sport, and it's really not all that competitive either, if you think about all the trolls, AFKs, smurfs, elo boosters, and all the other bullshit that goes on, and if you watch high elo streamers, it seems they don't view it as the pinnacle of competitive play either.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

right there. the attitude i dont want you to bring into soloq. normals exist for funsies. ranked exists because you want to play to win.

StarxPower1 votes

What exactly is wrong about what I said? SoloQ/DynamicQ is not a sport, that is an objective fact. Renegades, the worst team in the LCS, is more competitive than anything you will ever see in DynamicQ.

Aatrox Dajar3 votes

this type of mentality is where toxicity stems from. you mix in people with the mentality that they are no good, who also happen to cry a lot that other people take ranked more competitively and you get the results we see today.

if you don't think ranked is competitive. don't play it.

if you don't want to be judged and criticized for your play, go play normals.

and criticism doesn't always have to be negative**

StarxPower1 votes

Okay, I'm about to blow your mind here: Toxicity is EVERYWHERE in this game. You're the type of person who would play URF and then cry because no one is playing the right champs LOL.

And I do play ranked competitively, you misunderstood everything I said.

Aatrox Dajar1 votes

no, cause urf is for fun.

believe it or not, toxicity drops to near nothing (besides infuriating rage moments which even you or I can succumb too.)

you only experience so much because you're in bronze. and bronze is majorly populated by little kids and "the xbox live" generation. who literally have no regard for what they say, and will say it anyway.

if theres 1.5 million level 30's, i guarantee at least 100k (or many more) are kids between 8~13 years old. and it only takes 1 of on a team to start a powder keg.

people dont like to talk about it because its true, little kids play this game. you just so happen to be playing with them over "the college kids" or serious players because they all make it out of bronze.

those kids, they never leave bronze, but you can if you want to.

You're silver, I was silver 3 before everything reset and it's basically the same thing as bronze.

im silver 1 because i dont play and just got done with my placements after 2 months.*

big difference. i play more i climb higher.

and again, the majority are now are probably teenagers which are even more of a toss up.

at the end of s5. i was gold 4, but i was predominantly playing with plat 4 through gold 2 players. and let me tell you, (cuz MMR/LP system is trash) they were all serious players, not a one complained about a feeder or a troll pick, they were all sincere and wanted to win regardless of the teams or score.

StarxPower1 votes

I also just got done with placements, I took a break during preseason and when I got back I didn't know the whole fucking system was gonna be reset. I guess that's my fault, but whatever.

tell me, do you play ranked because you're level 30? you said to yourself "yay, finally i can play ranked now, lets do that! over normals" did you stop and ask yourself "whats the difference between ranked and normals"

the difference is one you play for fun with whomever you so choose too, you're just playing league. the other game mode you play to win, you are here to work with 4 players and test your true abilities and climb the ladder.

if you are heading into a ranked with a mentality "im going to play teemo jungle this game no matter what!, hey, you XxBUBBAHxX lets go duo ranked, well get jungle/mid, and i'll gank repeatedly for you." meanwhile top /bot are pushed in and you repeatedly towerdive mid for your friend.....

normals exists. ranked exists. if you are doing "whatever" in ranked, the system is flawed and no one around you or who you get grouped with gets an accurate reading on their skill level of where they belong because you've just ruined the system.

No, I play ranked because normals are boring. Also I've been playing for quite a while.

I've never done that, but okay (I have played Annie top, which actually works quite well).

normals exists. ranked exists. if you are doing "whatever" in ranked, the system is flawed and no one around you or who you get grouped with gets an accurate reading on their skill level of where they belong because you've just ruined the system.

You're really projecting here, but okay.[slayer-jinx-catface]

ranked is for players who take the game serious and really try to win. if you dont try your best to win or end up messing around prepare to be reported.

SnugglePuggle941 votes

I was agreeing with everything until you said Teemo. There are good Teemo players out there that are not toxic whatsoever. People shouldn't be called toxic just because they play a champion that can easily aggravate players. Many other champions do that (Zed, Ekko ult, etc).

5050BS1 votes

See there are two in that list that are not from toxic players

1)"your champ(s) are/were broken that's why you won" 2) Do you play Teemo?

#1 is because S6 broke a ton of champs and Riot can balance the game as much as my 9 year old can. #2 Teemo ?? What about Singed !
