_Mods deleted this in PB&M despite each of these being a "reason why I'm toxic". So I'm posting it here because it shouldn't be deleted. People should know these things and here them out and I don't care if SOME DUMB FUCK MOD THAT HAS NO BRAIN decided otherwise. _

It makes me toxic when people don't understand the simplest things about the game... so I'm going to post it here so you fools that ruin my game experience because you do absolutely nothing to help me understand WHY people are toxic and WHY YOUR ACTIONS create it.

WARD... this means nearly every second of the game since your first back you should have a control ward active. This means your trinket is used, upgraded to a blue if you're mid, jg or sup without need of a lens or you get a lens. It's not hard. It's the easiest thing in the game to spam a ward in a bush. It's even better to push into the enemy space with wards and catch them in ambushes... BUT NO ONE DOES IT... So do it... because getting picked off because you didn't ward is equivalent to me saying fuck you, I hope you die. So any time you don't have a ward up and you hear "an ally has been slain" it means you told them fuck you, I'd rather let you die. If you don't like that... WARD.

Champ Select... It's not hard to hover over your champ and make sure people know what you're playing so it isn't banned. If you're the type of person that bans people's picks... you're literally fucking over your team because now that person can't play a preffered champion. If you don't talk... about team composition and strategy... you are literally fucking over your team. This is the first time you have any clue what your team could be... It's essential you actually talk... this is something I see 99% of teams fail completely at... You don't need to be an expert on the meta or how to ban... but talk... please... not scream like a toxic asshole about what role and champ you're playing... talk about how you want to win the game and what champ and team comp you want to play to do it.

Failing to perform. This is frustrating because it's the easiest one to fix. But if you don't fix it. It's essentially akin to you playing on the enemy team. It's not a 5v5 if you can't do anything all match. It's a 4v6 or worse. I'm not asking you to be good. I'm not even asking you to do anything here. I'm asking simply that you cs and don't die. That's it. Your entire job in any lane or role is to not die. Why? Because it's a defensive map. People fail at this all the time. It's the simplest thing to do. Just don't die. You don't need to be a hero. Don't die. Quick disclaimer for you trolls. I'm not asking you to never die. I'm asking you to minimize it when you can't fight. Simply by staying alive you're doing your team a favor. You also need to tell your team it's going on.

Positioning. This is my 2nd biggest frustration. It's the biggest thing that everyone fucks up and it's truly impossible to recover from. Your ADC is a carry. You entire job as anyone on the map is to protect your ADC and help them get more fed... or to kill the enemy adc. This means you're not doing your job when you chase all over the map... leave the adc in the dust and they die to an assassin. You need to stay with your team, you need to follow up their skill shots with skill shots of your own. It's not fair

Play the MAP. This is my single biggest frustration. It's insanity at it's finest and I have no clue what to do to help people with it because everyone seems like special ed chimps about it. It's disgusting to watch you run around the map like a complete asshole chasing a kill or something else equally as dumb, while I'm 1v3 at the nexus towers with super minions pushing in. It's fucked up. You essentially told your team "fuck it, I quit, You guys aren't worth my time". I think being out of tune with the map is the single worst bad habit any of you can have as it's essentially intentional feeding without the malice. If you're not in the correct part of the map. You're losing the game for your team no matter what you accomplished while you weren't with your team.

Those 5 things. If I had teammates That did the above I'd never lose a game. And I'm not asking for them every time. I understand that RIOT has completely failed us and not put out the slightest help with learning how to play this game. They view it as a puzzle to be solved and unfortunately, that means that some people figure out the puzzle and beat the snot out of the noobs that haven't. I can't 1v5 and RIOT has no method of finding a team that is even mediocre. I post this hoping that instead of ganging up on the toxic jerk in your game... look at the above. It's likely you're doing something in those 5 things incorrectly and fucking over your team and although they shouldn't be rude assholes to you; they probably are right about it.

TL;DR:

Warding needs to be done; buy control wards... keep them active. Communicate in Champ Select; learn what the meta is and how to play it Perform well... even if you lose the lane, minimize the damage done. Be in the right position for a team fight; protect your carries. BE AT THE TEAM FIGHT; TEAM FIGHT WHERE YOU SHOULD BE FIGHTING... If you're not warding, or a troll in champ select (same goes for if you don't know what you're doing in it), or you feed uncontrollably or you're never helping your team correctly in team fights and just chasing kills... or if you're not at the team fight or if your team isn't fighting where they should be... then you should be. Because you're making people toxic. It's not acceptable that you queue into a game without knowing and executing these 5 basic things.

Little Harsh But I agree

Question: Are you level 30?.

Because I agree that if your playing Norms and your level 30, or have 1000+wins (Like myself) you shouldn't have to deal with level 27s who don't know when to attack a tower, and when to leave the tower and not get hit.

Also, I would Advice that you should play ranked, because once you get past the Bronze people and are into Gold / Plat, it gets much better.

Our actions don't make people toxic, it's the person's fault for being that way in the first place. They don't know how to deal with the situation in a positive way and resort to flaming like that's going to make the situation better. You're basically saying to never make a mistake, but it isn't that easy. You can't simply "position right" or "provide perfect peel to protect your adc 100% of the time" I'm going to against a smurf right, or just someone plain better than me. How do I minimize the damage done..? Simply never go into that lane and give him first tower blood because I don't want to be a feeder and "Create" toxic players, but if I don't go then someone'll get mad at me and then be toxic because I'm not even trying to stop them from taking ftb. If I go into a lane, I'm "stealing" exp from them.

Also, why should I have to play meta champions? Syndra was incredibly off meta a few months ago and only got popular because of world's, even before that she was just as strong as she was now. So if I played her a couple months ago, even though it's off meta it would still be incredibly strong, just not perma banned like it is now.

Karthus Has an easy time snowballing, high single target dps. Sure he's trash without rylai's and can't hit Q, but wait..his WALL! Sejuani cc for days Aatrox Have you seen his jungle build? Really isn't as bad as everyone thinks. Urgot His ult is amazing, and he does a bunch of damage. What's not to like?

I'm a one trick Taliyah player and I find her very fun and have been successful with her? Nope. Gotta play a mobile AD fighter/assassin.
