Poll : What ruins your game the most?

amen

What, you can't handle that verbal toxicity is considered just as bad, if not worse, than is inting?

For the record, I voted irelia just to see the results.

You can mute a flamer, sure. But you can't mute the impact it has on your team. If you have a flamer sitting there typing all game, your team will generally start just typing back at them at best not focusing on the game and at worst tilting and starting to feed.

When I played with intentional feeders, everyone else started working extra hard to play the game. I've actually probably won a greater % of games with inters than with flamers.

Funniest thing is that they are usually playing something like Kai'Sa and give up the moment a minor hardship occurs because they assume they will steamroll every single game.

1. It's tilting knowing i'm playing to help some jerk win the game
2. Teammates sit still and type pages in response
3. Flame makes nobody get along or cooperate

Intentional feeding sucks, but whenever i've had it happen in my games everyone else banded together to try to win it. I've had much more fun and success playing with intentional feeders than flamers.

Very little effect. But I would rather see effective communication and not have to mute them in the first place.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but from my perspective, what most people label as Intentional Feeding and Trolling (although I would use the word Griefing as you can theoretically Troll without actually griefing or being toxic (playful banter in chat, flashing on the fountain as the game ends, being trolly in a 5-man pre-made where everyone is ok with it (I'd be careful with the last one though heh...)) is incorrect and/or effects me less than verbal toxicity.

I just ban Irellia or play around her... :X

Since my teammates' mute function is not in my control they can still antagonize the team, lowering team morale and possibly tilting players, which I've witnessed on rare occasions driving people towards throwing the game intentionally. I also will not be able to react to purely text-based shot calls by that person or other strategic chatter of that person which might be of value, potentially lowering team cohesion and therefore my chance to win.

Depending on my personal mood and the specific thing that drove me to muting them in the first place, I might also be pissed off to the point where it has an effect on my concentration. I will admit though, that this happens rarely.

This is behaviour board, not a good place for an ego boost. If you are looking for a salt mine then sir you just hit the motherload.

I would vote the first two at least if I could, but what are these "Trolls (non int non toxic)" of the third option?

Wiki definition of internet troll is "In Internet slang, a troll (/troʊl, trɒl/) is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive," - Granted, that is more about forum trolls more than gameplay trolls, but gameplay trolls are definitely not "non-toxic". So, what is this poll option about?

I wanted to type not verbally toxic but it didn't fit for some reason the box is really small for options. I mean those guys that pick for example teemo support and then proceed to cancel all their autos in your face while not typing anything and they take your farm while they spam laugh when you are dying

Edit: This is an example (hereby referred to as "EXAMPLE"), and stands true if you substitute teemo for any other champion. It is in no way, direct or indirect, implied that picking ANY champion for ANY role should be discouraged and/or considered reportable and/or bannable. The example targets player behaviour and not champion preference.

Hidden option #5)

Players that don't have basic skills like warding, knowing when NOT to chase, last-hitting, etc etc.

so anything lower than plat 1 ? xD

It's a trick question. The answer is inters, obviously. I hate inters the most.

Does that impact my view on the current IFS? No. Inters are the worst, and they are working on being better at detecting them, but that doesn't change any of the current systems.

I hate inters. Everyone does. But I also hate annoying yappy dogs. It just happens that one is easier to take care of than the other.

Yeah, this conversation's initial purpose was to find out how people feel about these kind of behaviours. But reading all the answers my own view of the whole matter has changed in various ways. For example if people meet a toxic person every 2 games and an inter every 15 games it means they would most likely prefer to deal with the rare inter and never have to deal with toxicity again. Also people that only play normals/arams/RGM are more likely to detest toxicity more and not care about inting as much because their perception of the game is way less competitive and way more fun-oriented. So it was not really a tricky question but there have definitely been a lot of tricky answers.
