If you can't carry your team, you will be verbally abused.

You will probably be verbally abused regardless.

You will read things, directed to you, that no human of any level of intelligence, race, or class would ever say to your face.

You will be assaulted relentlessly by keyboard warriors.

You will be reported. Doing your best does not count.

You will be banned or suspended if you defend yourself because you are countering verbal abuse with more toxic negativity.

Even though threats against your life and verbal abuse on such sites as facebook and twitter can be countered with legal action these rules do not apply to the League of Legends community.

Do NOT attempt to defend yourself.

You will have bad games, everyone does.

In the event that you DO try to defend yourself, against random internet trolls, your account will be crushed by the underpaid gods that rule over the customer support team that monitor toxic behavior.

You have been warned.

How to play jungle (From a non-jungle perspective) in no particular order:

  1. Always donate your blue buff to your mid laner right away. Remember, even if they are horribly behind, it's better to give it to them than keep it for yourself and use it to help others.
  2. Never clear your camps. If you aren't camping lanes, then you are a worthless scrub.
  3. Be in 3 lanes at once, otherwise you "never gank" and deserve to be reported.
  4. Be able to predict the future so that you can hold your laners hand and lead them from any ganks. Remember, they don't need to pay attention to the map, that's your job.
  5. Be able to win 1 v 3. If you get invaded, that's your problem. Just win the fight while securing your buff so your laners can get that small CS advantage. Remember, failure to follow any of these easy steps will result in well deserved flaming and and mass reporting.

Honestly when i'm jungler I just mute everyone from the start, or at least pretend like I can't see what they are typing.

Also, your jungle camps will be taken by enemy and ally alike and you will be blamed if someone calls for baron or dragon and the call fails.

Program a macro to "/mute all", you have just created the +ELO button

As a jungle main, get off your ****Ing high horse op. Yes ritos ban system is garbage but I think legal action over flaming is tumblr tier insane. You sound like the type of guy to call literally anything "toxic".

why respond at all to anything anyone says negative? It isn't worth my time honestly. Just let it roll off. Report them back. I know what you are saying, and I agree with your assessment, only thing to do is ignore them. Let them be children.

There is some truth to the OP. Lanes really expect a lot from their jungler sometimes. And sometimes when they don't get it, they get hyper-toxic. Jungling is not for the faint of heart. You need a thick skin. Always take armor runes.

People fail to realize that Junglers are supposed to make tough calls as they have the most even perception of the game seeing and keeping track of how lanes are working out versus how they were planned to work out, your Junglers should know how strong or weak everyone on the map is, if you can't do all this and retain focus amidst news shouting obscenities then solo que jungle is not for you my friend.
