Like am I supposed to have a great attitude when my team picks double mid and i get stuck at bot? I don't understand why i should get reported for having a negative attitude when I have trolls on my team. It's implied that im supposed to be happy and having a good time while i get 1v2'd constantly and have no chance to accomplish anything that match and also have 2 mid laners that are trying to fuck eachother over and end up feeding also. Obviously this isnt the only example. I'm sure many people have experienced having to lane with a troll at bot lane or just having an afk or troll on their team in general. Like why the fuck should I be reported for beign upset that i just had to waste 45 minutes of my time with trolls. This whole situation is just infuriating. I have a hundred things stressing me out in every day life. When i want to take a break from it and this is what I get I think it's justified for me to have a shitty attitude about it.

Being obnoxious, toxic, or whatever kind of bad attitude it is, can not help your team but it almost always hurts. Nobody appreciates it or thinks it is justified when they lose the game over a couple children arguing. Responding negatively to a troll is the worst thing you can do.

You are curious at what point you can reasonably start calling out your team for being trolls or whatnot in all chat?

The answer is pretty simple, there is no point where you can do that.

If you feel you have a troll on your team suck it up and report them, no need to start flailing around in chat to make yourself feel better or more justified or something, that can only worsen the situation as if they are trolling you are giving them what they want and if they are not trolling you might set them on tilt like you have yourself.

I am also willing to bet that 9 out of 10 times that these trolls are just people having a bad game or trying something different than the established meta.

All in all it is not a problem if you get angry, it happens, but when you start spreading that to everyone else in game that is your choice and it is one that will never have a positive outcome. I recommend watching Sky's video on DST to see how to react to people in game, being positive to your allies WILL improve your games, it will improve your ranking, and it will never get you banned.

I always report whoever tells me to report someone else. tattle tales, narcs, rats, whatever you want to call them - they are the lowest kind of scum.

Responding negatively to a troll is the worst thing you can do. Don't call them out, everyone on your team will play worse if you do. When 10 min later you realize that they just got countered in lane and they are doing well in teamfights you might realize that they weren't trolling, but just having a bad laning phase and you go on to win the game.

Different play style isn't being a troll, its having your own play style. not everyone needs to follow the herd.

Or you can stop taking every game so serious and try to make the most of every situation. It's your time you're volunteerly wasting on raging.

You can't just have perfect expectations for every game of soloq matchmaking, because you'll end up having a bad time. Why even play this game if it makes you so freaking angry so easily? It's not like you HAVE to play it.

Its a magical harmonious world that people think exists.... no it doesn't. Five random people on each team what could go wrong? of course people are going to argue and fight with each other, especially behind a computer screen with a hidden identity. its human nature to get mad at other people. this "we all need to get along' crap is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!

Being upset irl =/= Raging about being upset in chat, just saying.
