YOU don't know which players are good and bad

We all know those toxic people that seem possessed to say something like "you're garbage and should never play X role again" or "Don't play champions you can't play". Meanwhile i'm sitting here having my worst game of the day on a champion i have MASTERED. Am i the best? no. Am i doing well? no. Does this make me bad? NO. EVERYONE has games where they do badly and feed, even challenger and pro players get on board the feed train, feeding or playing badly does not make you bad at the game. The most annoying part is that these games are usually right after you STOMP a game, making their insults feel even more dumb. Not to mention that INSULTING YOUR TEAM HELPS NOTHING, all it does if give you some shallow way to blow off steam for your own self-satisfaction at the cost of your team's performance and morale. Oh and stop calling for ff@20, if you'd stop afk'ing and play the game your team might make a play and turn things around, you're losing what, 20 minutes maybe if you keep playing and lose? How about you use that time to practice and potentially turn the game into a win.

There is no reason to have a chat system in league anymore. Everything that needs to be communicated can be done through pings and with just a little brain power you know what someone was communicating.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever in summoners rift for all chat to exist except for the explicit purpose of encouraging flaming and general toxic behavior.

Riot wants to fix toxicity? Remove All chat, remove in-game chat. Sure people would complain. The people complaining are the people who are trolling, who are toxic, who are responsible for the problem.

People dont realize just how much you can communicate with the pings.

Its even better when they look you up and see you have a 70%+ winrate on that champion which leads them to calling you boosted for having a bad game.

  • Fucking 1. I'm just about ready to change my name because of the amount of shit people give me if I feed as Kog'Maw. It's really bad. This community is just a giant crap heap in general (Yes there are some exceptions but I'm talking about the majority here.) If you don't play with a premade team, you're going to get flamed, you are going to get insulted, and there isn't anything you can do about it. The system is broken :/

It's even funnier and more stupid when it's a Normals game. Like, players get super bent out of shape when you aren't performing well and have died a couple of times...when it's just a Normals game. You'd think it's their promo or something.

Then again, that kind of toxic behavior shouldn't be permitted in Ranked either. Why is it so difficult for players to just accept that they were outplayed, their teammates were outplayed, and that the other team played better?

when I can predict someone's death to me in lane 5 seconds in advance while they are playing a champion that counters mine... they ARE bad :P

i love to trashtalk to myself while playing the game to lighten the mood sometimes XD

You reach challenger if you let your teammates carry you. If you get 4-5 deaths while still in the laning phase you deserve to lose the game and of course your teammates are going to be irritated.

I play a lot of Ezreal. Before the 30 minute mark, I was 0/9. The only things I was able to do all game was steal a dragon, and go on a kamikaze attack at the end to delay the enemies recalls while Yasuo split pushed for the win. Some games are certainly less flattering than others.

Honestly, you can in some ways. If someone has a bad score, I can understand they're having a bad game. But if they're constantly missing cs, going in for bad trades, etc., those are signs that they are a bad player.

What I heard was "I fed my butt off and lost my team the game and now I'm salty because they called me bad, because I'm really awesome!"

There is a HUGE difference between having a "bad game" and showing you have no understanding of the game or your champions mechanics. Usually if you're just having a bad, you're still able to contribute something to the game.

Oh yeah that drives me up the wall. Like three times today people have told me to never play Jhin again because I got pushed in by an Alistar/Ezreal bot lane with no ganks.

I guess the two recent games I went perfect KDA don't matter. I fed in one game, so I have to never play a champion I enjoy because asshole #1798331 told me not to.

When people do this to me, I just laugh it off and continue to play but I must say, if I give you advice on how to play a champ and you go about it the wrong way, lose and blame the team, then you deserve whatever anyone says. That's my opinion.

what if they do because we live in our own separate matrix and the others are scripted and are pure fiction Velkoz (x-files theme)

I feel like there is a second step to this. You might be having a great game where you do everything in your power to do, but the enemy is just much, much better than you. If I am losing while playing someone I know very well (like Talon) I can look at my mistakes, and then also look at the mistakes (or lack there of) that the enemy made. Of course, everyone has bad games, but some times you are doing your best and matchmaking said, "Hey, this guy is pretty good, lets match him with this other guy who is pretty good (and happens to be Doublift's smurf) and see who is the gooder player." Of course I will make mistakes, but if I am playing someone who is clearly better than me, they might be able to capitalize simply off of a champion pick (say, Diana into a Yasuo) and not really because you dun fuked up.

I had a normal draft game yesterday where an Ahri started flaming me saying that Illaoi (the champion I was playing) "is garbage, why would you ever pick this champion, and that I was useless".

Granted I was doing very poorly in lane since I was against a very good Renekton and I have little experience playing against the gator. I ended up muting her and learning from my mistakes. TP'd bot lane getting them a double + tower and played the map. By the end of the game I was zoning the enemy team with my presence, drawing them all to me by split pushing so my team could take baron, and setting up team fights for my team to clean up after my initiation.

Toxic people are going to be toxic no matter what you say (they are stubborn that way). Best thing to do is ignore them and show them how wrong they are through your actions.

The worst part is that when you're feeding with your main you feel far worse than feeding with anyone else. You just feel like garbage, then someone yells at you.

Crucile2/20/2016, 9:42:20 AM1 votes

My favorite is when i get hard countered, camped, get dove by both mid and jg constantly, and its a champion that's extremely weak early and i get the salty af midlaner that doesn't realise a big chunk of my feeding was impossible to avoid.
