Toxic

So I was in a Poro King game and I decided to play a champ that I have not played in a really long time. It was Ashe. I am not the best league player anyways so I NEVER play ranked games because I do understand that ranked games are extremely competitive and that it is a big deal when you arent that good. So I usually play the seasonal games, ARAM, and normals. Anyways in the Poro King game that I played I was not being the carry. I had played several games that day and done pretty well, but this particular game I tanked (not the build but I sucked). So this one person started calling me f****** useless, stupid, and just every foul thing you could think of. He harassed me the entire game. For a while I defended myself because I have never been one to just sit there and take it, but after an entire game of being bashed and only one person standing up for me (my husband) I started to feel like maybe I shouldnt play the game. But the more I think about it I wasnt playing ranked and messing with people's ELO, I was just having fun, or trying to. I hate muting people BC sometimes people do say things that help me and I am always willing to learn or take KIND suggestions. So how do I deal with someone who is a complete and utter douche? Ignoring didnt help either because they kept spamming crude things and pings. I do want to get better and I like I said I take constructive criticism very well, but dont disrespect me.

Unfortunately there are a lot of bullies on this game. My bf and I mute people and typically it helps us to perform better and block out negativity (as there would usually be toxic people in 4/5 games). It's also good to have people to play with that you know won't be like that. Feel free to add me if you want someone who isn't toxic to play with! Hopefully you'll get nicer people in your next match. :<

Its going to happen. I've been playing on a couple of smurfs to have some fun and RP specific champions (poppy, ryze, and TF), and the level of toxicity that radiates off people, even low levels like 5-15... is aoustounding. Its like were in their promo from bronze into silver and its their last win. These people probalby aren't doing any carrying themselves anyway... 9 times out of 10 they screatch like a little heathen child who did not get the toy they wanted if people do anything that isn't "good". Then they break out the "im diamond, and you suck" card when we all know they are bronze garbage who probably got banned for toxic behavior and are on the way back into bronze.

Its sad how searious people take this game... I understand ranked, i do, but normals/ fun mode... unless someone is intentionally feeding, or trolling, just hang out. If its a loss, work on something else like getting better at last hitting, or even so much as just not feeding yourself... no need for toxic bullshit. You can't win them all, but you can control your attitude.

If they are being that over the top and rude odds are they are not going to say something that will be helpful to you just ignore them and take tips from someone else
