Why are so many Summoners like this?

I was recently chat restricted for, as riot support explained it, "arguing" in chat. That was the worst thing I did..... So naturally, I'm trying to be more conscientious with my in-game conversation. I don't want to lose my account. In a match today the adc says she accidentally took the wrong runes and was obviously not hopeful about it. I said to encourage her, "Don't worry. You'll be fine. You got this!". She was Tristana after all and I was trying to keep it positive. Her reply? She said she was "going to int in my lane just for being nice". That is literally what she said. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

She then proceeded to troll me and harrass me with question mark pings the entire game. I muted her directly after her inting remark. Wasn't about to make the same mistake that got me chat restricted in the first place. But still I had to deal with a toxic person, FOR BEING NICE.

I've always tried to be nice, but then this community turns on me. Like wtf. This kind of shit happens in most of my games and riot has a "no self defense allowed" policy. Which is a terrible policy to have when the reporting system does not work and so many players are toxic or trolling with no reprecussion. Today only solidified in my mind, once again, that the chat feature is a negative feature in this game and the report system does not work when people who are actually trolling or being toxic get reported.

you still going on harping about how people don't get punished? Even after you got punished and how this board is filled with people complaining about their punishment?

man, your faith in the system is like .. sooooooo low.

In what way is flaming a troll self-defense? It's actually giving them exactly what they want. Especially if they explicitly said they'd int your lane, just report them afterwards and move on. They'll get banned. GG no re

I lost an account for "arguing" with a racist person.

Meanwhile I see posts on here all the time of people still playing who purposely ruin games

When you think the report system doesn't work after it clearly worked on you while you were being toxic? Huh?

FYI too -- the whole "but mommy he started first!" doesn't work. That should've been lesson you learned during your first year of school. The only time under the rule of law where self defense becomes legal is when your actual physical life is in danger of harm (e.g. someone rushing at you with a knife).

I received my only punishment ever (a five game chat restriction) a couple of years ago after two games in a row where I was matched with a duo that did nothing but flame me. What started it: We won a skirmish bot lane but my adc was low. Instead of recalling, like I did, she remained to take the turret and Quinn (old ult Quinn) swooped in and assassinated her. I was blamed, to which I replied 'It was your own fault for not recalling, not mine.' It led to arguing back and forth in both games between the mid and adc duo (truly self defense. I never cursed, never got angry, simply defended my actions and gameplay decisions) . People can say it takes more than that to get punished, but I'm convinced it was triggered with four reports within two back to back games (the report system was different back then).

But now I try to be a positive influence in my games, the same as you ( 'Don't worry guys, we got this' ) and while it's never been met with a threat to feed, I have been told to shut the fuck up and other insults. Just for being nice.

So we're just supposed to take the abuse, according to Riot. Muting only does so much when they can also int and troll and throw the game. ...I would rather tell the abuser that their behavior is ridiculous, but that's frowned upon I guess. All I can say is I feel the pain of this thread.

I’m really sorry that happened, that’s an incredibly sucky person. I do think it’s hyperbole to say that it happens in most of your games or is even common. I say friendly things in chat all the time and almost always people take it well. There are trolls, like that Tristana, but they’re the exception, not the rule. Report and move on is all we can do, don’t let it get to you :)

Lol what a jackass. You gotta just roll your eyes and laugh at people like that... and of course report them. Flaming them will only make them happy that they're really pissing you off, so even if it wasn't against the rules to flame them, you still should avoid it. Trolls want you to flame. They want to see those sweet salty tears flowing through chat.

League punishment system has turned into every school I've been to. The kid who punched me in the face, at most, gets the same punishment I do. In some cases he can get a buddy to say the opposite happened and I get punished alone despite having no record while he's a constant troublemaker. Fair is fair right? Haha...hahaha.....

Sometimes I ask my self if I Am a Autistic. nerve got a solid diagnostic.

But you see, your word can be:

Don't worry, You'll be fine. You got this!

or

"Don't worry", "You'll be fine". "You got this"!

so subtle, that text can barely tell you. in fact, I need to ask you something, I am being honest and trying to help you understand, or I am making fun of you?

Well, i Think i am trying to help you understand that people misunderstand a lot of things.

so when people make this kind of dumb mistake, i prefer to go with a: ** "It happens"**

Tribunal is full of trolls, that just want everybody banned. Facts.

Next time take a screenshot and submit a support ticket. That generally expedites the process.

TwitchInMyPants3/3/2018, 1:42:13 PM1 votes

TBH the punishment system is probably sensitive to make sure players like that Trist are easy enough to get banned

You can simplify this into "why are so many humans like this", then proceed to enter fetal position as the feeling of hopelessness overwhelms you

Sounds like you should just stop talking then. Some people don't want to hear "Hey, you got this friend!" Just play the game and congratulate when they're doing well. I personally have never had anyone rage over me being nice to them, that's just bizarre.

They were simply offering you an opportunity to practice forgiveness.
