Toxic

Been playing league for a while now. I'm not a good player by any means. I misplay, I get baited, I miss skill shots. I've never even tried to place in ranked SR. When I started playing this game I immediately was told to stop playing because I was bad. People told me to never play certain champs again, to uninstall the game, etc. You know the deal lol.

I approached this game as a something fun to do with my friends, not something I would be good at. I wanted to have fun. I still do. Sometimes I DO have fun. I love Nexus blitz, ARAM, URF. Those concepts are awesome because it helps everyone to not take themselves seriously. We just have fun together; a bunch of strangers all doing stupid crap and somehow making it work. Even if it doesn't work, even if we lose, it can still be fun. It's definitely more enjoyable to win, of course, but that's relative.

The thing that is getting more and more unbearable is the trolls. Not the ones that make you laugh, and do crap like buy all rod of ages on Galio. That stuff is great lol. It's more the... intentional feeding, the insults, the toxicity, the "imagine caring about this game mode" when someone is inting or afk or tilted themselves. The "it's not ranked so fuck you". Refusing to surrender to trap people in a game after feeding and shit talking the whole game.

Yeah, sometimes I get tilted too. Sometimes I rage. Usually to myself, loudly. Ask my neighbors lol. But it takes a lot to get to that point. And Mute is a great tool if I feel like someone is going to piss me off. But so many people start a game looking to piss people off. Looking to make someone upset in the real world. Maybe that's what makes this game fun for them. But it's only driving me further from LoL, because I know it will never stop. People aren't afraid of being toxic because they know in any mode that isn't ranked, there aren't as many consequences. And even if they get banned, they can just make another account.

I don't really know what my point is, and I'm sure there will be a ton of people that think I'm shit or a baby for posting this.

It's whatever.

I just kinda wish we could all play and be chill. Laugh. I'm so over the toxic trolls. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Feel free to vent here. Better do it here than venting in game.

The best way to deal with Toxic players is to mute them Immediately at the smallest hint of toxicity!!

Toxic players are best on mute. I'm really sorry that you've had such a negative experience.

As for trolls, I've found that the best way to deal with them is to try to cover every other part of the game as well as possible, and use them as a distraction.

Everyone takes a free kill when they can, so use that opportunity to gank a lane, or take a tower, or start a dragon. Try to make plays away from where your troll is, and away from where the fed people are.

Not foolproof by any means. 4v6 games suck, but trying to think of disadvantageous games as puzzles to solve is a great way of enjoying the bad games
