Toxicity

Hello. this is my first time posting in these forms, but as of lately as seeing so much stuff about toxicity and what some would call harassment in video games namely competitive ones like league being very bad. What I want to know is who is like me and thinks that a toxic game is good from time to time. I am not saying that I love toxicity all the time, but partly why I love competitive games is to see people rage and then fuck with them. Having a good game where everyone is friendly is nice( I feel people can some times get too nice) and when people do great plays and call them out on them makes some games the best I have ever played, but toxic games make me want to keep playing because they make the great games that much better when they do come. I think this is kind of weird to think like, but i don't know I think games would just not be so much fun for me if every time its just complements when you do good and "don't worry"s when you are doing poorly.

So basically you are a self proclaimed "troll" With only the intention of causing problems for others "toxic".

You play games this way because it's "fun" but really you have no self respect or ethics to play as you should as a social individual.

While I never go out of my way to start flaming I do enjoy it when it happens (which is often). I play because I want to do stupid things. just today I got flamed for going top Cho'gath and wanted to enjoy see how large i could get. While I didn't start the flaming I do enjoy it from time to time because its funny to see people get mad at stupid things. The second part I don't understand as you say I don't have ethics or self respect what do you mean?

Edit: I realize I should add however I come from a position where I will never play ranked in games anymore. I have seen the worst of the worst in terms of toxicity and it in part with other things is why I don't wish to do ranked anymore. that being said it's also most likely why I believe toxicity is not that bad and enjoyable some times.

the big problem is people take flaming negativity and dont see what the other person is trying to communicate then it becomes a shit fight with nothing being communicated because both players are shutting them selves off to the other player

This basicly.

I've ran into people who say I'm toxic when I try to give them advice, like how to ward, how to clear jungler or how to gank properly. I think they just don't want to admit they made terrible mistakes and instead rather blame someone else and it just helps out more if that person they're blaming is "toxic".

Yes. While I can not speak for league of legends on this I can however talk about my time in Smites ranked system climbing from silver to diamond. People seem to take flaming in one of two ways. One they ignore everything they said which is perfectly fine try not to ever let people get to you, but this also means you are not paying attention to why you were flamed in the first place. I have heard many people call this blaming the victim which makes so sense. If you can find out why they are mad at you say you never group then start grouping. your a shit jungle that never ganks find out better jungle paths and how to gank. your a shit ADC that cant even cs right, then you most likely are doing poor in terms of cs or something else and should try to fix these problems. I think the best learning experiences I have had is being in a competitive setting and having my team go all out on me for fucking everything up. Normally If it happens very little then its just then getting mad at almost nothing, but when you keep getting flamed for the same thing you most likely should start to listen and find out how to improve from the experience.
