The subtle trolls that know how to not get reported
These are the people ruining your game. They say exactly what needs to be said... and do exactly what needs to be done... so that they aren't the person who gets reported... but they are the person who makes the rage start.
You are banning the people stupid enough to fall for them. And not only that... giving them a mechanism that works extremely well... to get people banned.... and give them a little giggle.
I feel like rage has increased the last year. Like its a more common thing. But obviously... there are much much much more bans. Maybe we are getting rid of all the regular players... and keeping all the trolls that know how to ride the line and not get reported.
You cant have any conversation at all about playing better while in game too because of this. The only speech you can say without sparking a fire... is "Nice job." "Good kill." or.... kissing ass extremely hard ... or apologizing for things that are not your fault.
Its like the chat option is for people willing to stroke egos to get LP. And all that ends up doing... is making these bad players think they are good... because ego strokers build them up into false gods... and then they argue with every call made because they truly believe they are the best. Which leads to bad calls... miscommunication... and rage from unearned losses.
Anyways thats my $.02.
