A friendly reminder about trolls

Just your friendly reminder that when there are trolls or flamers, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRE TO ACKNOWLEDGE, TALK OR EVEN LOOK AT THEM IF YOU DO NOT WISH TOO. A lot of people are upset at flamers and while rage is a serious issue (which riot has addressed putting in the the ability to report, chat bans and more ), you guys need to remember that you don't have to give the trolls attention. I often witness team mates "feed the trolls" getting sucked into another raging team mates rant and they end up being just as toxic. There is no point in arguing with someone over the internet. I personally try to talk as little as I can, ideally only providing requests, in game calls to team mates and encouragement to teammates that are struggling. If a team mate is flaming I either instantly mute them or simply just ignore them. I NEVER REPLY. There is no point. You will just both tilt. If someone wants troll they will and unfortunately there is nothing you can do in game so don't put your feelings on the line just to argue pointlessly with someone. TL;DR: Don't feed the trolls, don't talk to the trolls, DON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE TROLLS (vital instructions on how to mute someone can be found in the attached file)

I understand, but this logic is flawed.

You shouldn't be flamed in the first place. Someone can't start screaming death threats at you anywhere else. Why is it allowed in league?

I just say, "Sorry, I have an intolerance to stupid. I'm just gonna take this mute."

I me them then ignore them. In time, I'll forget about them and think they're afk. Then I'll report them for negative attitude or unskilled.
