What to do in this situation.

We've all been there where you have one asshole who flames one person or the entire team. There's usually one and there could be more than one and there are different reasons for all.

My question is what do you do in that situation. For example, I might be top and doing fine and running 2/1/3 to have a realistic score. I might have a bad game such as 2/9 Katarina or a good game such as a 11/4 katarina. Now when it comes to flamers the typical comment is "You're legit trash uninstall"

So what do you do? Do you mute them? Do you ignore them? Do you point out that they've had bad games? I mean it's really funny tbh, like I'll look into someones match history who did well that round and flamed, but according to match histories they've had just as bad if not worse games.

That game that I had 2/9 katarina the teammate draven who called me trash had two games in his history as 2/9 draven. I quickly looked him up on lolking and told him and he's like "so what about it" I said "You calling me trash because of this bad game makes you a hypocrite according to your match history" And than he spent the rest of the game after that spam pinging ? and saying stuff like "haha you died to sona" Finally I did mute him and I must say that it's not very gratifying because you mute one and you might as well mute the whole team, even the ones who are not talking shit, but are like "haha draven good job, you're so good let me suck your dick"(That part didn't happen).

I've tried various things. Being nice and saying wp or gj or nice. I've tried saying "why are you being rude" or "why are you salty" or "It's just a bad game" and rarely do I argue with them because it doesn't help gameplay. I want to win, not argue with someone and potentially do worse. my best games are when I'm happiest, when the team scores are tied even if I'm 2/4 and end up 6/5 by the end of the game because most people did good and we had fun and won. Flaming your teammates makes your chances go down.

I guess a better question would be, what do you do that's worked?

Sorry for the confusing post if it doesn't make sense. I've ran out of seizure meds and have not had any for almost 2 days.

If I feel like it might change their attitude (which is rare) I might try to lighten the mood once. If that doesn't work I just mute them. If you keep listening you will just get tilted with them so it is better to insulate yourself in those situations and mute them.

In some cases nothing works and if I think it's beyond hope then I mute those people.

In the cases where it's just someone who's tilted I explain to them that I understand they're tilted but if they just shut up and let me do my thing I'll still be useful come late game. Basically I let them know what I need from them in order to do my job and I try to do it kindly while respecting their point of view.

I'm usually extremely positive to the point where I cringe when someone starts flaming.
