The Line of Stupidity and trying to help

I just had a mid Katarina ranked game a few minutes ago. The game started out as always. Late into the game...Udyr and Tryndamere on me team kept teleporting and split pushing and obviously getting caught. I stayed back and kept quiet because I know how people in low elo love to report anyone for anything. After seeing Tryndamere go 4/14 and Udyr kept dying, I tell them to defend base and stop just heading straight to base.

I get told to "stfu bruh" by the Duo and just muted the whole team to avoid any confrontation. As you can tell this tactic of theirs didnt stop as even the Adc and support kept going. I kept pinging and kept my mouth shut until the enemy team went Baron. We won the game by sheer luck and a grave mistake by the enemy team, but I was reported and treated as an idiot for trying to help an idea I did not see as a good solution. It might sound arrogant or cocky but if you see your teammates constantly dying and rushing to the same tactic what would you do?

I try not to get mad or let these games or any games get me angry or make me toxic but what is a player supposed to do? We get reported for giving advice yet get told to "stfu". We won by a miracle split push and then they just didn't check the minions wrecking their base. We won a game that I would have been certainly happy to lose because it shows their mistakes.

The point to this rant is to just say most the League games I play are filled with people who don't want to necessarily listen to anyone but what's in their gut. I mess up sometimes and take advice like "Hey idiot! Ward your lane!!". As negative as it might sound, it still rings a point that the person is trying to bring across. I don't report everyone who tries to talk to me and run into a rare occasion where someone is extremely toxic.

Please thoughts....or just tell me i'm a ranting idiot lol.

Just remember that evaluating another persons' ideas takes mental processing power. To demand other people devote their own limited mental processing power to you and your ideas instead of their own play, especially if they werent very good and needed all their wits just to perform as pathetically as u say. You see nothing is free not even thoughts.

Also remember that they have no idea who you are. Maybe youre a pro giving them the best advice ever or maybe you are a 6 year old who truly has no idea what hes talking about. You expect them to focus on that instead of playing? and GOD FORBIDE they have valid counterpoints to whatever you said and it turns into an argument

sadly i dont think theres much more you could do, i just played a game where teemo and lee sin had given up 12 kills between them by the time i was lvl 5 ( i was a higher lvl than they were of course) i sent a few "be careful" pings here and there to let them know they will commiting suicide if they continue, they never headed my warnings and by the time i was level 7 they started talking smack to zillean, saying things like : your a bad player, i hope you slip and die, and get your teeth knocked out, all sorts of very disrespectful talk, now im not sure if zillean was doing well or not upto that point but i do know he wasnt feeding (he was 1/3/1 at lvl 7 and they had died 12 times by lvl 5) all i said was : ummmm....... in hopes that they would realize how hypocritical they were being but alas no, they kept disrespecting zillean so i decided to point out what was wrong with this whole picture (mundo stayd silent the whole time) to which they replied by going into /all chat and saying " report kassadin hes over reacting like a child " At this point i decide that win or loss doesnt matter for me, if this is how theyre going to treat people and behave then i dont want to help them win at all, i decide ill take the loss and hangout at the shop (after apologizing to zil and mundo for afking) Enemy team asks me whats up and i explain (they understood mostly cuz teemo had nashors tooth but never AAd) Enemy team decides they arent going to report me as im the only one that didnt have a negative K/D (2/2/2) what do you think Night? Did i handle that or did i over react? i feel i may have actually over reacted but i dont want to play a game where team mates talk and treat each other like garbage and then continue to feed

also i got a connection timeout(what a surprise) and wanted to honor Zil and Mundo after the game but was left with a black screen and the button saying click here to skip stats which i left for 20 minutes before continuing without my results

so yeah, i think you handled it better than i did XD
