So I've been Toxic

Last few days, I can easily admit I've had my share of being "that" person on the team, but seriously at some point, you can no longer just shrug off all the stupidity and not say anything about it.

Case in example Lux is 0/10/0 after calling mid and locking it, can't even get an assist and buys a mejais..thats end game score btw, not just random snippet in middle My Syndra is dfg ulting a braum in team fights MY Ez has been caught out now 4x in our jungle, says it's not his fault Ashe buys a SoO, goes 1-5, then refuses to team fight cause our jungle is asking why she just doesn't sell it and buy something else...which leads to her afking after we ace other team with just me as lux and her up...couldn't finish game and other team wins Mid "pro yas" has entire team built around him, Malph, wu and Zyra....too bad he gets wrecked so hard in lane he's useless in teamfights

Thats prolly just my last 7-8 Ranked games played....they get worse...much much worse. it's to the point i went from plat 4 promo's to plat v 0 lp, sure, everyone has bad games, we all have em. But when its happening almost every game, I just can't sit there anymore and not say anything.

/end rant

You don't have to "not say anything". Just don't say things that aren't constructive.

"Noob quit getting caught out" can be replaced with "Stay with the team, they have complete vision control" "Bot feeding, GG" can be replaced with "Bot play passive even if you have to lose tower. We'll snowball top instead"

Doesn't matter if you're correct in saying someone is bad, it doesn't help, and people more often than not will reply with equal or greater hostility.

Simply put. You can talk. But you don't have to talk like an asshole. Just remember it's a game, have fun playing it. :D

Only enjoyment I get out of this game is winning (i don't sit in front of my computer for 30min-a hour to fkin lose) And it wrecks the entire game when theirs literally 1-2 people single handedly screwing your rank and time off. . .its not cool Now i understand you shouldn't flame anyone. . . . But how are some of these people in the same lobby as me?!?!!!? I try and try to keep my comments to my self but like OP i lose it sometimes at the mere insanity some people have like they dont posses a operating brain and i let em have it currently working on it tho. . ..end rant

If you only have fun when you win you have a problem man. Losing is the best thing that can happen to you in LoL. How would you learn anything if you don't get your ass kicked from time to time.

To paraphrase:

"Why do we lose games, Master Bruce? So we can learn to play better."

"Why do we lose games, Master Bruce? So we can learn to play better."

I'll save this one somewhere :). The best thing to do after a defeat is to check back at the game and see what kind of mistakes you did (NOT YOUR TEAMMATES ) so you can correct them and get better at the game.

Anyway GL in Yoloqueue everyone.

That's your problem right there. I understand this very much cos' I used to be like this not long ago. The "playing only to win" mentality. I was trying to get out of Gold and into Plat, and I dropped from G1 to G2 9 times. I was flaming and raging

Until a friend who's challenger told me to honestly sit down and think this (not the exact words but it was along those lines): What does it matter if at the end it says VICTORY, or DEFEAT? Does that make you better or worse as a person? Does it have any lasting effect on your personality? It doesn't reflect whether you're a loser or a winner IRL, so just forget about it. You need to play to LEARN and have fun with the game, not play to WIN, cos when you play to WIN it clouds your judgment. I reexamined myself and managed to stop the cycle and get into Plat.

Best thing I liked about the guy and the only reason I listened to him (besides him being chalenger :P) was that he would laugh when his teammates would fuck up, like genuinely laugh. I foudn it fascinating when watching him play, and asked him how he doesn't get angry. And he just said "what do you mean angry, that shit is hilarious".

I found that fascinating and thought I'd give it a shot & you know what? he was right. The desperation and "giving up" you see from people when they fail flash over walls for example, or the jungler dying and failing to smite steal, this shit is funny! I've been like that ever since and it helped A LOT with enjoying the game, and with winning tbh. Give it a try if you want, or don't.

Most people don't play ranked to lose, and it's frustrating to end a game as 20/5 or something of the sort and lose that game. While losing is part of the game, the extreme losing streaks which are followed by the extreme idiots who do nothing but feed their lane, blame the jungle then spam surrender (which i refuse to ever surrender a game) is not how you learn.

You lose 7 games in a row, 4 of which had afks or dc's and you wonder why nothing is being done about this.
