When you flame someone to make them play better

{quoted}

I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

Well said. i am happy i play on EUNE as a matter of fact (for protection)

no but it's nice to relief some frustration

tbh if a int feeder disconnects they're helping their team more than if they keep feeding

if you were in your promos and you tilted me by criticizing my gameplay enough, I'd literally beg you to tell me to disconnect from the game so you can enjoy a real 4vs5. And I Dare you to say yes aha. Maybe then players like you will learn that it's smarter to be nicer to your own teammates [sg-jinx]

While I sort of agree, I don't think it's a matter of how much you criticize gameplay. There is good critique and bad critique, but what it really comes down to is if you are polite or rude. Criticizing just to bash, insult, or in a condescending manner is bad. Criticizing for the sake of winning as a team and to help that player is good, as long as the delivery comes across well.

nobody has ever unironically said that

There have been multiple threads about this exact argument as to why people are flaming others. How else would you justify flaming, if it wasn't because someone can't contain themselves or this senseless point?

Let's flame the guy that's underperforming. It definitely will untilt him and make him play like Faker. This logic has no flaw at all.

/s

i didn't imply that at all. What i did imply is

-this scenario where toxic players flame people end up surprised is false, because toxic players don't give a shit how someone is feeling.

No its to release anger and frustration...

Except it doesn't work. You only wind up even more and get into a vicious circle of anger.

well unfortunately, that typically involves aggressive behavior as other methods tend to lead to repression and of course the eventual burst of emotion

as another fun fact, most people do not learn to start controlling their emotions until their early twenties, if not later and League is primarily directed at a teenage audience (and even younger as they can slip in )

the way some of my teammates play, sometimes its really hard to believe there is a living breathing thinking person on the other side of the screen honestly but they're more than welcomed to mute me. unfortunately i cannot mute their game play.

ok, but they're still people too. No one wants to hear your toxic abuse. Bottling up anger isn't healthy, but maybe learn to handle your anger in a more productive way instead of flaming.

Well said. These people just want to excuse their actions and make their bad behavior seem good somehow. They're misconstruing bad for good, rather than fixing their own issues. They can't handle personal accountability.
