Honestly guys this is just a game, please tone down the toxicity.

This is a re-post after I wrongfully "named and shamed." I never should have posted part of what he said to me, but I thought I'd repost as I do feel that the message is a good one. Also, regardless if this is ranked or not, (this particular game was a normal) the point stands, that you shouldn't be verbally attacking someone to this extent in EITHER of them. That's just not ok. Having said that here it is.

Got home after a long day, and decided to play a few games of league. Just normal games nothing special. Upon playing the second one I was greeted with a lovely member of the community who decided it was my fault he lost lane. Harassed me majority of the game, although I wasn't paying attention to most of it as my brother and I were discussing some tech problems we had for a podcast we're starting.

Repeatedly he says that it's "Noc's fault we're losing, he keeps farming the jungle and won't help." Far from the truth, just haven't been helping him as he's been abusing me all game. Then comes the end of the game, gg's were thrown around, and then he throws me a friend request. I accepted thinking nothing of it as I've had people where we've been in arguments before friend me, and I them, and we play together and have a good time.

Instead I get this, and while no one in my close family has gotten anything like that, I can only imagine how someone would feel if they did have someone how had cancer in their family. Seriously guys, this shit needs to stop. At the end of the day, it's a game, a normal team builder game to make it more ridiculous. Wishing someone/someone they know cancer of said game is absurd. Grow up, get a different hobby, or take a real hard look at yourself if this is you.

Ignore/mute, then you don't have to waste time posting on boards.

i was replying to a comment on your original post when someone said that you shouldn't be playing ranked with a "its just a game" attitude, because people want to win, when the post got taken down. And I agree. There's no excuse for being so toxic or wishing cancer on people. Bottom line, thats just a shitty thing to do or say. And it is just a game, thats the hilarious part. They were upset that you recognize the fact that it's a game. Oh the wonders of this community. You should send the original picture to riot or something, not that it will do much good

Had a similar situation, but since I was a recovering toxic player, it cost me my account. My team had done the same thing; rage and blame me, only cause they engaged a bad fight I had pinged away so I could take tower. They verbally abused me, and I stood up for myself to their harassment, and I was the one to get punished. It sucks when you're someone who is trying to be better in the community but get pulled down by people who want to drag you into the depths.

So i guess I will no longer be part of the LoL community since they wanted to handle it by banning my account :/
