Thank you guys for everything
So i'm not proud of this and never will be, but my horrible past of 1 permabanned account and multiple accounts being 2 week banned with multiple chat restrictions made me into a mad man. I was so done with getting banned and chat restricted for things that seemed so small and non-toxic, but after smurfing on a new account in fear that this account would also be perma banned (just finished 2 week ban) something clicked. There really is no reason for someone to be toxic no matter how ridiculous that team mate can be. I've run into some toxic a-holes while smurfing and it was so easy just to mute them. Also before i thought that chatting is necessary and that pings weren't enough and its actually true, I don't think pings are enough, but I realized that you only need to chat for big plans which are about 10 lines max per game. It's simple things like mid flash down till 10:00 and then you don't have to really chat after, and maybe strategizing for next drag or baron and say, "guys lets reset and ward up" are all things that can't be pinged, but really that's all that needs to be said. I think the big realization came in after reading all these posts on player behavior and also a small part was smurfing. While smurfing 100 games from bronze to plat in the last 2 weeks I've gotten honor 4 and I haven't been reported once for negativity (i think, because I haven't said anything negative in chat) although i see a lot of flame from enemies after game for ruining their game as a smurf. Thanks guys for bringing me back to my positive self when I first started playing in s4.
