I'm glad certain remarks qualify for 3 report categories at once.

Okay, so I played a game where I went Thresh mid. There was some skepticism, but it wasn't my primary choice. I wanted Teemo- but Teemo was picked out by the enemy team. I figured I could counter Teemo with Thresh- once Teemo lands his blind- I could stun him, use Flay, and be rid of the blind in time to deliver a heavy blow. It worked pretty great actually. I lured the blind, landed the stun, hit him with ignite, used flay, and hit him with an AA. Within the first minion wave Teemo was badly hurt, and I had come out with barely a scratch.

Well- meanwhile, I'm being flamed by my jungle Evelyn. "She" is just going on about how Thresh shouldn't be mid, etc. Nothing too bad at first- I just shrugged it off. Then she comes through my lane and hits Teemo. Teemo reacts, and I react on Teemo. Eve keeps going as if she were just passing through mid- and Teemo follows her into the Jungle, she flashes over the wall and Teemo turns on me. I try the stun- but a minion takes the hit- and I die. Eve starts going off- now "she's" being really abrasive. She says "Here we go you're already feeding." Mind you- she gave away the First Blood.

So I ignore it. I get back to lane, and I do very well against Teemo. His blinds don't stop the damage from my abilities, and I have enough CC to ride out the blind. Eve is avoiding Mid like the plague. Voli comes by Mid. I ping for help- Eve is in the camp right next to me. Instead of walking over to help- she stops and starts to type while I'm dying- "I told you Thresh can't Mid" ????? Voli and Teemo took the first 2 Mid Turrets upon my second death- Eve recalled because her typing let them take the first- and she had no cover to leave Jungle. Now that both turrets are down- about 15 minutes in- Eve starts calling me all sorts of vulgar names. I'm not exactly sure what some of it said, being that it was censored- but much of it was obvious just by the tone: "You're $$$$ trash Thresh go $$$$ yourself you $$$$$ piece of $$$$ "

Then our ADC jumps on the bandwagon because Teemo begins to roam bot. Mind you- there's no pressure from our jungle because she's busy harassing me- yet it's all my fault because I chose a certain champion. Not how I was playing- not anything that was actually going on- all because I picked Thresh. Yet, had Bot been warded- Teemo's presence would have been foretold by the mighty ward. But I guess that's my fault, too- because Thresh is a "support" champ, right?

People like this just ruin the entire game. If going Thresh mid was a bad call- just make the best of it. I'm trying to. I'm really glad that when the game is over I had 3 categories to report the Eve. "Hate Speech" "Harassment" and "Negative Attitude". I'm not certain if anything said was hate speech- but it was perceived that way. Enjoy the restrictions Eve. See you on the Rift. Thresh

People like that don't deserve to play the game. Like, if the only thing your here to do is complain and make everyone else's fun time go to hell, then pick somewhere else. We don't want to deal with that crap here.

Easy to have a good attitude when you're the one picking some garbage stuff mid lane and ruining the game for the rest of your team lol.

People play what they enjoy... I enjoyed Lucian back when he was considered almost garbage tier, so I played him, and I won.

i'm sure she reported you too

i'm also pretty sure none of you will get punished. both of you clearly just had a bad game.

also posting this topic was useless. we got nothing positive out of it. perhaps next time throw in a suggestion or a topic discussion instead of just ("people like this just ruin the entire game") throwing some negativity at us. we already get enough of that in game, why bring it to the forums?

mmm

Clearly having a bad game... Even if we were doing everything right, the harassment is unwaranted. I don't like talking while I play because it's a distraction. So when someone is non-stop with their verbal abuse- I begin to question how they're even playing. This Eve spent most of the time harassing me through chat. Yes- this person is going to be punished. Their language was persistently vulgar. Even the enemy team pointed out that she was being abrasive when she /all chatted to have them report me for feeding.

She /all chatted the same vulgar nonsense. Thresh is p.o.s.- report him for feeding. Please report Thresh for being noob. Etc.

everyone has seen this- and the enemy team was all-too-wise to her act. They immediately recognized i was being flamed for my Thresh pick- considering they actually paid attention to the fact I was a threat to Teemo. They saw I was playing my best, and was doing a decent job with my role. So they called the Eve out for flaming.

It's getting really bad. I reported 2 players the other day for plotting in team chat things to accuse me of to provoke a report from the enemy team. They were literally having a two-faced conversation between team chat and /all chat. One player said to the other- tell them he's saying this about your mom- then the other player would make something up in /all chat.

I'm tired of these games. And if you have a problem with the fact I have such a problem- you are the problem. Now remove yourself.

that last line proved you cant handle competition in an argument. looking at that, you definitely baited the toxicity out of her and provoked her even further (must of been around the time she 'baited' you and even thought you died "she gave first blood"). one sec, oh yup right on the money on this aswell: you're bronze.

mb pointless arguing with you i see now

Mister Modesty3 votes

You're no competition. You're the definition of incompetent. On one hand you tell me my discussion has no point- and on the other hand your reply is lacking the same credentials you criticized me for. Are you a hypocrite, or just plain ignorant?

Furthermore- your reply completely disregarded the entire context of my statement. You merely cherry-picked whatever seemed convenient for your little mind to try and tackle. And the simplicity of your mind was perfectly illustrated when the intent of your reply was a mere attempt at seeming intellectual. You're a piss-ant kid.

You make conclusions based on absolutely nothing. "I baited her" you're really well informed.. You think I baited her because of my impatience with scumbags like you? I vent on the Boards- not in the game. I did nothing to "provoke" her. This thread is my vent- you don't like it- refer to my original fuck off statement: REMOVE YOURSELF

Eve was being an idiot, there's no baiting here.

Imo in those cases we should lift name&shame policy and simply ban this retard for a week explaining for what exactly he is banned.

You picked Thresh mid. That's a troll pick, whatever you want to say. It's just dumb. Even in Bronze League (where I'm having a blast testing brand new champions), people know that Thresh mid is doomed to failure. He doesn't have the kit or the ratios to compete there and I'm struggling mightily to think of ANY standard mid-laners that wouldn't just crap on him. "Play what you like" is fine to say, but Katarina jungle isn't just a sub-optimal or non-meta choice. Like Thresh mid, it really just doesn't work and there's no part of the design that suggests it would or should.

Seeing you lamenting your poor experiences here honestly just annoys me. You're having poor experiences because of YOUR attitude. This is a team-oriented multiplayer pvp game. You're demonstrating from the very beginning that you're not interested in being a team player and while your poor choices and stubborn attitude aren't a license for people to be rude and vulgar, you're definitely not encouraging friendliness or cooperation.

Why can't Thresh Mid? You, like many other meta-minds, are confined to the conclusion that Thresh can't Mid. So tell me why.

Thresh's passive constantly grants permanent AP Thresh's 'hook and flay' combo makes pushing against him hard. Thresh's passive constantly grants permanent Armor, giving better sustain against ganks gradually. Thresh's damage output is actually very high if he's built to do so. Thresh has high mobility, and he can use his lantern as a way for allies to cross his lane or help push lane.

Why can't Thresh Mid? You, like many other meta-minds, are confined to the conclusion that Thresh can't Mid. So tell me why.

Because his ratios suck (he doesn't scale well) and his kit isn't set up to trade with anyone in mid lane. What do you do when a ranged mage sits behind their minion wave? How do you stop them from free farming and zoning you?

Mister Modesty1 votes

Thresh is ranged. I don't have a problem with "free farming". And ATM the whole Meta regarding Mid is controversy. AP Mid champs are fleeing to the role of Support. AD Mid Champs Dominate. Thresh can hold himself pretty well against AD Mid champs, and can farm just as well as any AP Mid champ.

Amoc1 votes

If you're playing a potato, sure. You can't even trade with an AD assassin though. Talon/Zed can safely poke Thresh for days. His only response is to auto attack. I'm literally having trouble thinking of a single standard mid that wouldn't poop on Thresh in an equal-skill matchup.

thresh mid works a lot better than you might think, especially when it's low elo and when you're experienced with thresh. i've done it a few times and i'm yet to lose a lane with it.
