Would you rather...

The nice guy always because he can at least be taught and learn, the toxic guy is going to throw 9 times out of ten either by trolling or by being such a disruptive influence your team falls apart.

many toxic players are perfectly nice when things are going well. they only turn toxic if they are losing or frustrated.

it is a trick question because the nice guy and the toxic one are the same person.

Raise the bar to toxic player who is amazing, and then we can discuss.

This is interesting to see, cuz I'd take the toxic guy any day and twice on Sunday.

Here's my reasons, and please tell me WHY you disagree.

1. Teaching takes more than one game, I'd rather not invest so much effort in teaching someone who i'm never gonna play with again.
2. I can mute a toxic guy, I can't with one fell button click stop a bad player from being bad.
3. I think that being competent in a competitive setting is more valued than being nice.

Now, I know you guys disagree with 1 or all of these, but why is that?

i rather have the nice guy, he/she can learn from the advice you give them on how to build, champion match ups, etc. The toxic douche would just throw if the enemy has more than 5 kills spamming GG and running into their towers

If he's just verbally toxic, then sure, I'll take him because I can make love to the mute button throughout.

I'd rather have a nice (unintentional) feeder over a toxic jerk any day.

Haha I am starting to realize we have different definitions of "toxic player"

I was meaning someone who said mean things. Not an intentional feeder or a leaver. :)

For some reason, all my games that I enjoy is with toxic players. When your whole team is toxic, it's extremely funny and it turns out none of us are ACTUALLY toxic.

Like when everyone's cursing each other out like 'report this noob' everytime someone dies or like 'fucking sivir u suck ass' and 'wow wat a fking scrub' and 'smd'

It's actually fun seeing it. Although this is probably because everyone's joking around and not actually meaning it, many people would consider it toxic and report them if they're sensitive bitches. (theres always that one guy)

i'd rather have the toxic player.......be banned.

take the nice guy any day toxic players drain the fun out of the game and makes it feel more like work

Is this a one of or all the time? Cause toxic players are not a problem if they are winning while a nice guy not knowing what is going can cause unintentional problems. I can over time teach a nice guy while over time a toxic player will statistically go off the handle.

So my answer is, one of the toxic player and long term the ignorant one.

I think I had a perfect game last season with some guy that was nice but didn't know what he was doing. He was last pick and on a role or champion he didn't know to well. If I recall right, he was our ADC, and he got eaten alive by their team. But no one held it against him since he was filling and letting us hard carry. We won handily, and I recall complimenting him several times for being a team player.

Compare this to a toxic player who would have either doubled up in a role already called, fed a little then AFKed, mashed the surrender button every chance they got, or a combination of the three.

Hands down, nice guy takes the prize. Winning the match doesn't matter as much as enjoying it.
