If you're verbally attacking your teammates, you need to put the game down for a while.

Maybe people are grinding to get their end of season awards, or maybe you had a tough last game, but if you're attacking your teammates in chat all game, you need to put it down for a while. Go outside, read a book, cook something to eat, whatever. But one thing you shouldn't be doing is playing the game making you that angry, and ESPECIALLY not ranked.

I've seen this too often from players that harass either me, or the enemy harassing their team, and you check their record and it's a string of losses. Continuing in that fashion isn't going to help anything. You obviously need a break or it's going to only get worse. But serioulsly guys, at the end of the day, it's only a game, yes even in ranked. We all get angry, but yelling at your teammates, the people that are supposed to be helping you win the game, isn't going to make anything better.

Just thought I'd throw this out there as I've had it happen a bit too many times in recent games.

As someone who has been banned for toxicity. Putting the game down when you're feeling like you wanna murder your teammates is absolutely the right call.

Good post.

Some people just don't recognize when they're on tilt. Or they do, but refuse to stop. I used to have the same problem "No I'm not ending on that! I gotta win SOME of it back!" All the while being miserable and angry.

So I suppose the moral of the story is, don't play Lea-I mean don't play on tilt.

Riot should help people get better at the game. If people are constantly and consistently losing, they need and deserve negative feedback.

Winning is fun. Losing is not fun. Losing because someone else is throwing the game sucks hard.

Why play if you're not trying to win?

I told our Quinn "gj" for getting a kill and apparently I was verbally attacking them...okay.

I really hope the Automated system starts implementing queue lockouts for toxicity, in the same way it does for dodging.

Most players who are toxic, are actually good most of the time*; they're on tilt and/or have dealt with too much toxicity already today and can't hold it in. If Riot's system could recognize those players and force them to take a break and calm down, I think it'd do wonders for the game.

*I don't remember the exact source of this data. It might have been some talk of Lyte's I watched online?

sorry but this will do nothing. Assholes prey on the shitty players.

You have no idea how many times I've said this.

You are awesome for posting this.

People should work in a customer service job at some point in their life. Then they can learn to at least fake being nice to people to make a goal happen.

Just attacking your own team is so counterproductive. I wish people would fight the enemy with as much fire as they have towards to people they're so supposed to be working with.
