Let Riot decide.

They will realize the error of their ways as the mighty ban-hammer descends.

Or they could just come whine on the forums that the bans were undeserved while posting chat logs that clearly demonstrate their toxicity as many do. At least that is good for a laugh.

i mean it kinda depends. mostly on what they said. if they were saying you were bad, and you are bad, then it isn't, it's just a fact. but that's just about the only case loll. better to mute people i've found. it become so peaceful

I Main SwainNov 21, 20151 votes

it would be one thing if they just said youre bad, but they definitely didnt stop there. and muting screw up team communication. i do mute people if its clear theyre just gonna rage, but otherwise its a faulty solution, albeit the only one

edit: bad is also a relative term. to a bronze 5 player, a brand new player is bad. to a plat player, a bronze 5 is bad.

The Poetic ZedNov 21, 20151 votes

i think the edit might not be true XD you'll find bronze 5 and new players are pretty similar in skill level

I Main SwainNov 21, 20151 votes

not really. at least the bronze 5 players know about the game. until lvl 10 i didnt know that turrets target you when you atk enemy champs under tower or that you can buy items and upgrade them rather than wait for the full item.

The Poetic ZedNov 21, 20151 votes

yeah but that's just you. i figured that out from around level 3. i mean it's not exactly rocket science

If your BAD they should be able to call you BAD without worrying about getting any punishment im sorry that you cannot handle the truth that your bad. We are sorry that Riot lends you the illusion that you are Dyrus.

If you did bad and they call you bad then you must be bad right ?

Maybe you should admit that instead of living in Riots illusion and try to actually improve ?

The Poetic ZedNov 20, 20152 votes

but they might have said more than that they were bad. it's likely they were being verbally abusive with the excuse that he's bad. which isn't okay. saying he did bad or is bad isn't verbal abuse in itself, but you'll find not many toxic people stop there

If you're going to be brutally honest make sure you're focusing more on the honesty, rather than the brutality.

If they say you're bad and you are bad then guess what? You're bad get the fuck over it.

If they excessively call you bad in varying degrees then guess what? You're so bad you made them fckn tilt off the face of the Earth. In other words, git gud.

I looked at the match and guess what you are bad. 2-10-1 as thresh. Be honest with yourself. You played poorly.

"You played poorly"

example of real, constructive criticism (or at least part of it)

everything else

example of why toxicity is a serious problem in league

yes i did bad, but thats entirely beside the point. the only case in which it would be ok in my book to rage at them is if they are intentionally feeding or entirely ignoring mia's and such then blaming you.

How is that entirely beside the point? You played bad. They called you out on it. You probably accused them of verbal abuse to which they responded they are just stating the truth thus going back to my point: You're bad get over it.

I Main SwainNov 23, 20151 votes

it's entirely beside the point because i wasn't talking about how i did and how i did really doesnt justify toxic behavior. my point was that they, like you obviously, think that if someone does poorly that means they can be as toxic as they want and they're the good guys. in fact, i didnt call them out for verbal abuse for most of the game, just sat there as they called me trash for doing poorly, even in situations i couldnt control. literally any time anything bad happened that involved them, me, my lane opponents, or the jungle in any way they would call me trash. and additionally, doing badly =/= being bad. i would bet millions that you have fed your balls off on your best champ multiple times.

That sentence alone isn't an abuse at all.

Or do you think we should arrest ppl because they were gazing at somebody?

I Main SwainNov 21, 20151 votes

...im just gonna give you a minute and see if you can figure it out on your own...

Stars ShaperNov 21, 20151 votes

Without any more informations both the fact that they said only that or that they wished you several other things that fall under the "abusive" conduct are equally probable.

Attempting a joke thread in such a poor way doesn't help your point.

I Main SwainNov 21, 20151 votes

my point was why the crap would that be the entire reason i was saying theyre toxic? its so blatantly obvious that there was more said that i didnt think it was necessary. no, the chances of it being one or the other were not 50-50, because that line itself is just stupid, not toxic.
