How do I be not toxic

It’s hard for me to not get toxic for some reason. It’s not like I really have anger issues or anything but on games I just randomly say stuff. I just got a 14 day suspension and I fear that my account could get perma banned. Is there like a way to remove team chat or a way to stop being toxic?

It really depends where your toxicity comes from. Are you flaming people when they play bad? Are you responding to people that are putting down you or your teammates? There are lots of angles where frustration can come from in League and basically every single one of them is viewed as being toxic. You basically need to not type anything even remotely negative in chat or you'll eventually be banned.

Personally I had a huge issue with saying stuff like 'We should surrender' or 'GG' or 'k I'm done with this game'. It didn't seem toxic to me to give up on games where people were trolling, feeding, not trying to win, etc. I eventually was permanently banned even though I never insulted a single person in the game. I just had the defeatist attitude on games that got out of hand and that was enough to be banned.

If there was an option to remove your Enter key as a keybind to open up chat that would be the best way to do it. Just don't type man. 99% of the time it won't help anyone in the game and you risk your account.

stop being toxic is a mindset. When your mind is straight, the toxic actions won't follow.

How about trying to understand why you get start raging?

A lot of the time in toxic, it’s when people spam the enemies are missing ping when I mess up. They should just change it from a question mark to something else

if you can't physically stop yourself from flaming, unbind your enter key so you can't flame, or just take the enter key off your keyboard. Something that I do is say whatever I am thinking out loud, instead of typing it. Makes it so no one but myself can hear it and makes it so I can never get in trouble for being toxic. I know saying it out loud might not work if you have others in your house, but it helps me think straight instead of being blinded by anger towards my teammates when they mess up. Another thing that you have to keep in mind is that not everyone is going to be amazing at the game. You should remember, a team is only as strong as it's weakest member. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Leafpower,

Good day! I would suggest utilizing mutes. /muteall is for sure handy. If you have a tendency to be toxic even though you mute your team you can still communicate through the various pings that are available in the game. Good luck in your future games. And have fun! [slayer-jinx-catface]
