This is me streaming, sorry about the music if it's not to your liking and or my voice because my voice sucks (I try to stay quiet most of the time), my latest game of Rank on League. So for those who don't wish to watch the video let me sum it up for everyone.

Last game our Vi went into a ranked game with our Tahm Kench as Graves top lane. Apparently, who would have guessed, it didn't go over so well. So after that game they were matched up with one another immediately after in my lobby on the same team. Tahm Kench who is angry and believed he was wronged out of a "Win" decides to go Tahm Kench and harass and troll Vi (Then graves) for the entirety of the match. Essentially we are down two people because the toxicness that is Tahm Kench: He would take her creeps, eat them so she couldn't farm, and even eat her so she couldn't get her jungle and even throwing her into the enemy team so she would die.

Consequently as a result we lose, the team's morale is shot to hell, and they decide to give up. I wanted to submit a support ticket, but apparently with all the new changes there and with the nature of this feedback it said I must make a board posting. Seriously? Anyway, point being from this example is that Tahm Kench is the perfect example of a champion whose kit is specifically designed to harass, bully, and be toxic to the team. Do I expect Riot to do anything about it? Nope, but if any of us happened to cuss him out we'd no doubt get a suspension while people like this are able and encouraged by Riot to behave in such a way.

I doubt anyone from Riot is even going to take a look. This is why I miss the old Tribunal because it was much more effective than the computers they have going on now.

you're silver 3, you're going to get occasional trolls, if they don't have Tahm to use they'll just feed etc. Move up in elo and you'll see far, far fewer trolls.

People will troll sometimes whether or not these champs exist.

Should riot stop making interesting champs cause of the possibility? No.

It happened, move on

You arent suppose to post things like this on the forums. its considered Naming and Shaming which is against the ToS. If its that bad contact support. But what you need to realize is that things like this take time. Dont expect instant feedback/help. They need to actually look into the case. See if said person is doing this intentionally and consistently. People make mistakes from time to time, or have bad games. Some times people lose their cool, and it could just be a one time thing. That shouldnt mean they get locked out of their account. There are other means to punish people aside from being ban. They can get restrictions to help reform, but again things take time!

OP was Sona who rushed Lich Bane as support. Tahm could argue you were the toxic one lol.

weird, i thought this thread is about vayne, Yasuo, zed, and RIVEN mains, which are the champs that ALL the toxic players actually play. Those champs attract the toxic lowest human lifeforms of the LoL community to play them.

I always wonderd why it is like that, but seems to be more then true.

Skip forward to 17 minutes, for the match. You also have to click the link to the video, apparently it just only showed my twitch page.

Pimp lets me bring up a few things about you. This is from your Ranked Solo.

Your latest game as Braum. 3/2/22 which would be a decent score but sadly you lost, but I wonder why? Could it be because their syndra who was their support did a total of 32K damage as where you only did 9.7K? Lets also put this in perspective, their Yasuo only did 16K damage but their syndra did a significantly more; This goes with what I was originally saying. That extra damage she put out made up for the fact that their team's damage was actually less collectively than your teams' if you added up all the damage.

Next game lets bring up your game when you were Braum 1/2/7. So my question is, with your Face of the mountain and your Aegis how come you couldn't prevent some of your carry's 12 deaths? I'm talking about your tristana who was 3/12/8. Better yet, as a tanky support why is it you have less deaths when you should be on the front line than the carry who should be behind you? Were they overly aggressive or were you overly passive? Better yet your tristana that game had 25k damage, the most on the team, yet it's a shame by your logic you must have been holding her back. I mean maybe if you had been a better tank or better yet DID damage she might have won some of the engages. On top of that, your brought SUMMONER HEAL. Are you kidding me? That's pathetic. I don't care if Tristana took Ignite or not, that doesn't excuse you from not picking up exhaust. Maybe if you have had THAT instead of heal maybe you could have won some exchanges. Better yet, lets talk about that Aegis you rushed when the ONLY AP they had was their support velkoz. How about you look at their comp, that was all AD, and figure you should have picked up some Armor?

Funny you talk about getting support items, but you either don't use them right or they aren't helping you at all. Hate to be the one to tell you, but you want to talk about me not being able to carry as Sona? Supports generally find it extremely difficult to CARRY in the first place. Only the best of the best supports can carry a game, by themselves, by setting up kills/Amazing and deep wards/minimum deaths. In fact one of the few supports that I argue CAN carry a game are those like Leona, Morgana, and a very select few.

By doing damage as Sona I can and will put out a significant amount of damage to at least, If I don't get them, to almost guarantee someone else can clean them up. All you can do as Braum is soak up damage and hope while you're herp a derping that your team is competent enough to actually capitalize if they're stupid enough to focus and hit you. Without damage, without being relevant at all, you give them no REASON to aim for you. If I'm a squishy damage support, that's putting out heals and a considerate amount of damage, I become a high priority target while as my ADC, MID, Jungle, or Top lane are more likely to capitalize on them "Killing a support." Then they pick up a kill, we win the exchange, we get towers, and we can successfully end games.

If you don't understand that you never will.

It happened, move on. Okay, so when people like this continue to be ALLOWED to troll and it one day effects you? When they could have been punished? Then it'll be a "problem" then right?

He's far from the first champion to have a mechanic that lets him troll his team.
Anivia JarvanIV Trundle Kalista Yet you don't hear much about them doing it anymore, despite the fact the first three are some of the game's oldest champions (and Jarvan even has his own meme about it). Looks like you got a troll player, and if they didn't have Tahm they'd have picked some other way to troll you.
