Why am I not allowed to have a negative attitude?

Nayzumi··2 votes·880 views

Honestly, just lost a game because I lanned vs singed and inevitably lost lane because 1v1ing him in any stage of the game, unless you're vayne, is remotely fucking impossible. So, because I lost said lane, I told my team that I'm not having a fun time and that I just want to leave in all honesty. Low and behold, the slightest bit of fucking negativity that comes out my mouth, my team starts going ape shit in all chat stating "Report Aatrox for giving up lul", and Singed knowing that I wasn't having fun, started saying "Will do". Like, because I was the "entire reason" we lost the game, even though my Cait had 56 cs at the 18 minute mark, my team just looks for any leverage to shove their fucking hatred down the first thing they can. I hate that, I honestly fucking hate that about people. The first thing they notice that isn't going in their favor, they just go all out to make my game a living hell. If anything, that should be reportable, not the fact that I legit wasn't having fun.

It IS reportable. Regardless of what you say in chat, it doesn't give them a right to turn on you and flame you. Even if you go off and start flaming them all to hell because you lost your lane, under the ToS, they are not allowed to flame back.

Sometimes you're going to have rough lanes. Sometimes you're going to have impossible ones. It's perfectly reasonable for you to not enjoy losing lane. It's even fine for you to say that you're upset about it, or to admit that you're just not having any fun. But there are four other people on your team who are still trying to win the match, and if you say that you just want to quit repeatedly, it can get to be very annoying. Especially if the match isn't unwinnable. When one person starts to talk about quitting, or things being a loss, it begins to chip away at the morale of the rest of the team, and it very quickly begins to undermine any chance that your team has for winning. It can tilt other players for the rest of the match, or even for their next few matches. And this is why Riot, and your team, don't want negativity in their matches.

theres a mute button...

There is a mute button. But a mute button works kindof like rolling down the windows after someone farts in the car. Sure, it's going to get rid of the stinky shit, but the damage was already begun, and the memory of it is going to linger long after the smell is gone. And when it comes to things like tilting, it doesn't always take an entire match worth of someone flaming, whining, complaining, etc. to tilt a laner. Sometimes, all it takes is a handful of comments.

If even one other person on the team has a short flame-fuse, then comments about wanting to quit are going to trigger them to rage. Then you have one person complaining, and one person raging. If anything goes wrong in one of the other lanes, those people are now twice as likely to be sucked down into some form of tilt, be it by getting super discouraged by their mistakes, or being drawn into an argument with one of the flamers/complainers. It snowballs until no one in the match is having any fun anymore.

The only thing I can really suggest, is rather than trying to say something like "I want to leave, I'm not having any fun," say something like "Damn, this lane is so rough! its sucking the fun right out of top lane. Hey jungle/mid, want to come up here and give me a gank/roam to spice things up? If we kill him or run him out of lane, we can Rift Herald."

My only excuse is that I've been running on about 3 hours of sleep per night while taking care of my stepdad who has pneumonia. I'm not all here right now! Please forgive my horrible metaphors.

why do you give a f about what some randoms tell you on the internet?

Because I don't like how idiotic people have control over my account being banned or not.

This is true.

This is not true.

Riot has stated that cursing, on its own, will not result in penalties of any sort. Cussing at players, however, can result in penalties. It's the difference between saying "aw shit" and "you piece of shit".

Besides - there are a good number of reasons that a punishment can be applied, well outside of swearing at other players.

They don't have any control over if your account is banned, it is 100% you and what you type in chat, that is the factor if you get banned or not.

actually a 1v1 is perfectly plausible. just don't chase too much.

Nayzumi1 votes

I like how you go out of your way to find that one wrong and point it out, instead of going through the moral of the story.

FOR JUSTICE2 votes

oh I thought you needed a bit of advice with singed cause weedbro pretty much summed it up. either stay silent or just ignore it

This is why you disable all chat, if you get tilted even once from all chat, disable it. The only thing all chat is good for is being polite to an enemy, but if all chat just brings you stress disable it.

...you can't 1v1 singed early?

Kei1431 votes

So... Just because you aren't good enough to beat someone in lane, you give up the match so 4 other people have to lose with you?

It's just early game, and people throw games all the time. If you can't win early game, win mid / late game instead. Not give up and in the first sight of adversity.
