Should there REALLY be punishments for being "toxic"?

Now, now, before everyone starts flipping the fuck out, here me out. Let's take my last game for example of me flaming the fuck out of my teammates: I had a Ezrael, Sona bot lane that died 22 times within the first 15-16 minutes in the game, together. Me, playing top lane renekton, still haven't died once and has 3 kills, even though the Nunu jungle was camping my lane. I gave the bottom lane advice to "stay under turret if you're behind" and they continued to run out of the turret range like monkeys and kept dying. I don't under WHY people do that, but they're clearly not opening they're fucking eyeballs, or maybe zooming in on their champion to see every detail on the project Lucian skin, i don't know. Now, me being as annoyed as I am because people are intoxicated in silver elo every game, I start flaming the hell out of them because they auto lost the game for everyone. The final score was 32/3, and they had the nerve to blame me for their mistakes.

Now, I got chat restricted right after, and no, i'm not going to post the chat logs, because I know I was toxic, but they can't be mentally retarded or arrogant and expect to not get flamed. Now, i'm not the person who says "ggwp" after my team gives up first blood. I'm the type of person who starts flaming the fuck out of people when they refuse to listen to my words of advice and continue to die the same exact way over and over, it's like people's minds in silver elo don't click. When you die, you capatalize and realize what you did wrong, then try your best to fix the issue, not run out of turret range when you're 0/12 and die again. That's when I flame, when they don't comprehend and listen to what I have to say. Note, that I said 0 trigger words like racial slurs or fuck or anything along those lines. I simply flamed them because they wasted my time and do it because they're having "fun". I'm glad you have fun losing numbnuts, honestly, I hope you're having a blast ruining everyone elses time while you're high off your ass.

Anyways, i'm here to point out the issue: I feel as if there should be no consequences to flaming a(n) teammate, because they're clearly giving you a reason to do so, there's a mute button for a reason, and honestly, if you're really going to get butt-hurt over a word that someone has typed, you shouldn't be on the internet anyways, ESPECIALLY a MOBA.

Even when I get feeders and trolls, I realize flaming them isn't worth it. It doesn't improve anything, and can only result in consequences. there's literally nothing to gain by calling your bot lane mentally retarded.

Eh, makes me feel better, knowing that they're upset. Call me an asshole, I know I am, but if they're not going to listen to what I have to say, then fuck 'em. That's life and people need to get over it. I have a right as an American citizen who pays taxes, and that right being, the first Amendment of the United States Constitution, freedom of speech. RIOT didn't implement a mute button for no reason, so why punish people for stating their mind when it can be easily avoided by a mute?

You know that only applies to the government, right?

Does RIOT not follow federal laws?

Sorry bud, the US Constitution doesn't apply in Runeterra.

They do follow federal laws, the first amendment just doesn't mean what you think it does. The first amendment prevents the government from censoring you. Private establishments can limit almost anything they want.

Playing league is a privilege provided by riot, not a right.

I feel like a lot of people misinterpret this. No one can tell you what you can or can't say. He can technically say anything. But Riot can also tell you to get out of their game and ban you. Freedom goes both ways, unless they amend the Bill of Rights to include "The right to play League of Legends." Which I'm pretty sure would require the government to acquire LoL. Or possibly the UN as a way for solve conflict between countries without having an actual war. I can imagine the trash talk there. lol

Laws could change that.

You are supposed to feel sorry for them, not hate and escalate the situation, gotta learn empathy. You just want to insult people without any repercussions which is a heinous mindset. instead of flaming and being toxic, be encouraging and sympathetic. it may have sucked but a bad game is only that, a game. and people are people. consider what you are saying to others. would you say those things to their face?

There are no reasons to flame people, that is entirely in your head. Flaming does not improve any situation. At best flaming changes nothing, realistically it is just going to detract from the game even more.

It really doesn't matter when the lucian is 22/3, so why shouldn't I? We lost anyways so i might as well state my mind~

SmokedAlmonds5 votes

So if it doesn't matter and you lost anyway why spend your energy on something that has no meaningful chance of accomplishing anything?

W6xh8u4n3x1 votes

People i feed off the pain of others.

xXRaichopXx4 votes

Yeah you are very toxic...

W6xh8u4n3x1 votes

I'm proud too.

xXRaichopXx4 votes

Why would you be proud of that? People like you ruin my games...

W6xh8u4n3x1 votes

People who go 0/22 bot lane ruin my games, same argument.

xXRaichopXx3 votes

Show the match?

And just because someone feeds DOES NOT give you the right to flame.

Ever heard of linking the match history?

Just looks like a bad game to me bud...

edit

So you could not link the match? It makes things a lot easier. I want to see YOUR score too.

W6xh8u4n3x1 votes

It doesn't give them an excuse to not listen to smart pings and continue to die the same way over and over. That's all of my games, not just the one.

xXRaichopXx3 votes

If its so bad go play with friends. (you have some to play with right?)

And you STILL have no excuse to flame!

Void Nargacuga1 votes

I think I found the account they where playing on due to process of elimination. erosloss

Have fun!

xXRaichopXx1 votes

What? I'm confused...

Void Nargacuga4 votes

When I checked Jerahmi's op.gg they had no recent games. So I did some sleuthing using op.gg and checked the op.gg of the Lucian, whose name was in the now removed comment, and found the game where they got 22 kills. By process of elimination since he wasn't the Sona, Ezreal (didn't mention him but he was obviously the other bot laner), XinZhao, or Brand (all of which they complained about) that left only the Zilean on the enemy team who the Lucian player was facing, thereby that has to be who he was. Therefore by process of elimination that is the account Jerahmi was playing on.

Which means he also lied about who he was playing and his deaths. This is straight from his post.

Me, playing top lane renekton, still haven't died once and has 3 kills

Your welcome for that Chowder image. The older shows (not whats on now) [slayer-jinx-unamused] where much better imho! Chowder was one of the ones I was eh about but it was still funny and enjoyable to watch!

Is an unintended summoner 11 the best summoner 11 ? Seriously this was not my intention. It was just curiosity about the match in question.
