You know what's mind boggling?

How so many players think that wasting their energy trashtalking their crap team mates will make them play better.

If you're that player who wastes all their game time typing in /all chat how much your <insert team role here> sucks dick and is so bad and so shit at this game, please... why? Why waste all that effort? They aren't going to suddenly play better. Sure it really sucks that they suck at their role and are probably feeding, but you berating in all chat isn't going to change anything, in fact it'll just make that crap player perform worse because you're always on their neck.

Just, please, stop wasting your time in chat and just play the game, ignore that noob, focus on just playing the game and improving yourself or get yourself fed and win the game that way. It's so irritating hearing some self-entitled whiner scream and tantrum in all chat. For those of you who don't realise it, it's like having a whining child who's been denied their ice cream.

Nah I find it funny how they dont see the cycle they create. They create thier own lost games

Player A makes a mystake Player B focuses on that one mistake and bashes/insults/trashes Player A about it. Player A gets stressed and in an effort to compensate tries harder without thinking, Makes more needless mistakes Player B latches onto those NEW mistakes and flames Player A even harder, Causing player to go full tilt. Player A completely crumbles, goes on tilt, UNINTENTIONALLY feeds (Of course he will be reported for intentionally feedin anyways, the team needs a scapegoat so the other 4 players can feel good about themselves). Match ends in a loss with the whole team finding any and all possible reasons to report Player A.

Player A goes on to feel like Sht in the next few games while player B goes on to repeat the process In next games. Player B wonders why they always get stuck with "Trash" teams. Player B fails to realise they create thier trash teams.

Insulting and flaming your team will not help them play better, only stress them out and make them play worse. But then again, rather than helping teammates improve or accept advice themselves. This community would rather flame and insult thier team mates and go on acting like they know everything. Like they are better than everyone else. They trash thier team because they get some sense of superiority (the "I'M better than you" mentality) out of it.

I've honestly been muting my entire team as soon as my games start. That might sound horrible, or unecessary, but the majority of players only talk to to critique negatively with superority, or flame. Especially if you're losing and actually have to coordinate to win which people would rather flame, and ignore than work together.

And before anyone says anything:There is a difference between saying "Damn that was a bad fight man.Just play passively & farm for a bit.Wait till his abilities are cooldown,then try to engage with him then.Also watch out for minion aggro." & "WTF was that?Dude you suck.This is why I should have been Top.Uninstall the game feeding loser."

The difference is:One is constructive criticism with the goal of pointing out your mistakes & giving you advice on how you can improve.All with the goal of making you better. The other is useless flame from a toxic asshole.

Now,if you want to be constructive,you have to give some advice so the other player can learn something & try to do better (whether in that game or future games).That is a proper use of energy in the chat.Wasting time posting flame in the chat is just ruining the game.Flamimg in the chat won't win the game for you.

There is something I learned when I was a kid, it's a morale I have kept with me in all competitive style environments. I learned from someone older than 80 years old that was the best Pool player I have seen around where I live. His backstory, is when he was my age, he went up to 40 year olds and ask them to verse him if he pays for the game. Of course he lost basically every game, but the morale of the story, is in losing, you improve. You don't get better by versing people worse than you all the time, you only get better when versing people better than you. You make mistakes, you learn, you get better. You see a better mechanically skilled player, you learn new tricks.

Losing is part of learning and understanding how to improve your game play. If only the berating toxic players understood this concept.

There's also an aspect to talking to your teammates about what is happening in game.

Something like, "dude you really need to be in these team fights so we can win", and the guy's all "holy fuck stfu toxic".

People also need to learn to admit their mistakes and cooperate with their teammates.

Nobody thinks their teammates will play better because they're getting yelled at. It's called venting/raging. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense, but I guess that's just another weird quirk of the human mind.

I never understood how some people think "wow my teammate is doing bad. Better call him a shit eating father less cancer getting fuckwad." Like these 4 strangers you're paired with are your only way to winning. Why are you trying to make them play worse.

Waste all that effort? Sorry a lot of people have to play with dumb people who don't take the time to learn the game. Which you know, that game you can't leave for at least 20mins because "it's toooo early" to give up when someone goes 0/10 within 10mins. Or the fact that the surrender that is 3 yes, 1 no, and 1 undecided because he's feeding too much to notice the surrender, get declined even though technically it's 3 over 1 in a vote. Sorry we have to be sweat and innocent for such people otherwise we'll get "reported" for toxic behavior. Also, I haven't found a single person who's raging in /all chat not paying attention. The only one who isn't pay attention is the feeder who doesn't give a shit and is allowed to go free because he's not saying anything.

Also, only hyper carries (whichever riot favors for the week) can bring a 4v6 outta a lost.

Point is: You can mute a toxic chatting person, you can't remove a toxic feeder.

When I play support I choose what I want to start with not you, if I hear you complain about me not wanting relic shield I will let block you.

Normally things like trash talk or insults don't phase me, but when I do my annual end-season grind I end up muting two of my teammates a game on average, and only this season did I turn of all-chat. I've had games where everyone on my team gets muted but I'll still communicate things like dragon timers hoping I can contribute through the yelling.

It took me a few chat restricts and 2 two-week bans to realize that.

Also, advice you didn't include: if you tend to have a bad temper like me, and you feel yourself tilting or getting angry at your teammates despite your efforts to avoid it, just stop playing for a bit. Take a 30 minute break. This strategy alone got me from D5 0LP to D4 in 2 weeks after being stuck in D5 all season while tilting all day

Its more of a way for people to feel better about their own performance tbh. Doing nothing to carry the game, better flip out at whoever has the most deaths to reassure myself i deserve challenjour

I'm pretty new to Yasuo and I was having trouble one game, we had a Rengar and Zed, both ended up being toxic to me because I'm not very good with Yasuo yet. Apparently Rengar's little brother was playing for him the first 20 min becasue he fed quite a bit early. Zed seemed to be nice at first but when I started messing up (I have a bad habit of getting mad when I lose a close fight, thinking how I could have beaten them if I didn't screw up my combos/aim, causing more deaths if I don't refocus) So then he was flaming me and when Rengar started playing he ended up saying I was bad too. I was (and still am) bad, but they didn't need to rub it in my face or flame me for it, calming your teammate and giving constructive advice is much better than "omg this Yas is the only reason we're losing right now" I ended up muting them both and went positive at the end of the game. I felt better and played better after muting them: Muting works guys, I know losing communication with your team seems like a bad idea at first but some people only abuse chat to be jerks and put you on tilt, just do it, don't let your dreams be dreams.

Oh forgot to mention, they carried and I still reported them because we don't need people thinking it's ok to flame so long as they carry, that's the very same reason why we see so many toxic adc's and why adc's have a bad rep.

no offense. sometimes you have to yell at a teammate directly or call them bad. Usually they fix their problem and start to play better just to show they are good, if you give them the oh "its ok next time" type deal it wont affect them that they are the reason why the team is losing. ive had plenty of games when i was super toxic and won because i had to yell at the shitlords that were costing me a game in rank. its rank, you go their to play not to be bad. not toxic anymore because ive had my fair share of restrictions so i dont want to yell but some of you need to play better and stop making excuses of your shit play. usually i only had to yell at silver 3ish type players because kids just do bad, gold 2 ish ive had to yell at people to do objectives and so far in plat 2 ish all ive hated when kids jsut do random baron calls or just get baron/lead and dont want to group and push. but i dont say anything because usually this elo knows what they are suppose to do. (i know D5 is trash)

Sometimes you gotta be a bit rude to get the point across though. It doesn't have to be prolonged, but sometimes they gotta know to stop fucking splitting so damn far.

not trying to undermine your post but if your teammates are bad you should always flame them and hope they improve on. League of Toxicity

im pretty sure the mentality behind it is since they are so bad you might as well just sit there and complain in all chat since the match is already hopeless.
