Hello, jerks of the community

Lizzyonethree·Jul 9, 2017·3 votes·884 views

If you are going to criticize what I spells I pick, heroes i select or what runes I use BEFORE THE MATCH EVEN BEGINS. AND THEN CONTINUE TO FLAME AND BERATE AND BE A JERK JUST FOR THE SAKE OF BEING A JERK AS WE BEGIN PLAYING. I'm done! I'm not playing with someone like you. Report me afk that's fine, but if some of you people weren't so ridiculously abrasive I might actually want to cooperate.

So next time you see someone take barrier instead of heal, or...ignite instead of..teleport? Like really who gives a crap?! Don't jump on them like it's the end of the damn world.

I agree and disagree.

I agree with your frustration and the general gist of it. But I don't think going afk is a good solution.

LizzyonethreeJul 9, 20172 votes

I've been in quite a few matches like this now, annnnd -not- going afk just ends up being worse on me. So like at some point i have to consider who is more important here, my own enjoyment of the game or 4 random people i don't know. 2 or 3 of which happen to be total !@#$bags.

you have a 30% win rate, you might want to start listen to other ppl when they try to help you!

Depends on your role. Taking Ignite as a Top laner can be good or bad. If you lose lane you'll be less useful than if you had TP for ganks or to follow your enemy or whatever.

If you're the support and you take anything other than Ignite or Exhaust, yes you're trolling.

Perspective.

LizzyonethreeJul 9, 20171 votes

you're waaaay too narrowminded about what roles should take what spells. I should be able to go smite as a support and no one should care.

SoulhavokJul 10, 20171 votes

Running smite was viable but not anymore. People need to be told why you are running it so it stops them from freaking out.

You took barrier as Lux "support" and then proceeded to build absolutely no support items. Go figure when you come out 0/5/0 with no kill participation. Taking barrier as Lux "support" (I keep using quotes because you weren't really supporting) is trolling because the spell isn't useful for anyone besides yourself.

SoulhavokJul 10, 20171 votes

That's not true. Support can run ignite depend on the match. Mid can take almost any spell. Jg must have smite but certain ones can run ghost, ignite or Tele. Top is handy to have Tele but some champs are better off without it or flash

And instead of being a man and not caring about what idiots write and reporting them after the game which results in their ban, you instead leave like a spoiled kid, ruining the game for other players that might not be flaming and getting yourself banned. Genius sir!!!

LizzyonethreeJul 9, 20172 votes

First of all i'm not a man. SECOND OF ALL when there's three of them all spouting the same crap, they obviously dont want me on their team. Im not going to sit there and endure that for half an hour. Im going to tab out and turn on youtube until the match is over.

DoktorKaiserJul 9, 20171 votes

Ok, enjoy your leaverbuster or maybe even ban :)

Airbane98Jul 9, 20172 votes

they just tried to help you and you turned all SJW crazy on them

dont even try to blame them

LizzyonethreeJul 9, 20171 votes

Who are we talking about here? You hardly receive any help from -anyone-. In the game you get -ordered- by the rest of the team and told what spells to take. "Top take TP! Support take exhaust." People will literally go ape!@#$ if you don't do what they tell you to do, even down to that tiny little detail. that's where i have my problem.

You can report them for harassing you.

However, remember that if you go AFK, they can report you too.

Try to change your outlook on the game if they're bad teammates. Just focus on your own game and turn it into practice. Try to be more aware of map presence, try to practice ward placement, try to practice last hitting, etc...

LizzyonethreeJul 9, 20171 votes

I have tried that many times. My problem is I think is once we get to -that- point..all I want to do is move on to the next match and hope for a better team. When someone performs poorly, gets their butt kicked, look at that noob over there huehue..it doesn't bother me. They're playing a game let them have fun, yanno? But I will see other people on our same team literally go off like volcanos. And by volcanos I mean all the things i've described in other parts of this post here. Just bottom-feeder behavior. When they act like that, it just..turns me off to that particular match entirely. All they care about is the win, and skill at the game.

Mute them.

???

You will get zero sympathy if your response is to go AFK and destroy the game for 9 other people. Grow up, mute them, and report them, don't throw the game and prove them right about you being a troll.

As for people being abrasive, yes they are, extremely so and it is definitely unnecessary, i'm sure if they spoke to you kindly and calmly you'd be more inclined to agree - However it's not their job to wrap you in cotton wool and protect you from people getting riled up in a competitive environment, it's on you to deal with that.

LizzyonethreeJul 9, 20171 votes

Not only do they rudely and abrasively criticize me, but they also literally -lie- to the other team and tell them to report me for things I have not actually done. There's being competitive and then there's just plain being an !@#$hole. I'm sorry but if that's the way they are going to be the game was doomed from champion selection.

I think I'm just at an impass with the rest of the community when it comes to this situation. I'm not going to deal with it I'm going to tune out

/mute all and play as best as i can is what i always do nowadays.

Dude, this is League of Legends, our community is notorious for being toxic and sadly there nothing we can do about it. There are going to be jerks out there and you got to live with it because they will NEVER change. I'm going to be blunt here, going on the boards to complain is really childish. How I deal with the jerks in the community is to just mute them and report them after the match (if they did something worth reporting) that way you don't have to see the unnecessary flame and they can end up getting punished (believe it or not, it happens). However, there will be people that give you constructive criticism and right now you're going ape on them. They want to give you information about the meta and what summoner spells to take for the highest chance to win in each role. No one is perfect, there is always something we can improve on.

LizzyonethreeJul 9, 20171 votes

WELL I wasn't trying to come off as complainey or childish, but apparently thats what everyone thinks this post is about so. I have not gone off on anyone offering -constructive- criticism. But you never get it in the game. Sure most people are nicer here, even I am by refraining from using curses lol.

I'm trying to get a feel for how...more of the community feels, I guess? About not wanting to participate in a game when people act like total A-holes. And now that i've woken up this morning and look at the responses it seems to be.."Mute them, play anyways and report after."

Silent GravityJul 9, 20171 votes

At the start of the game, mute the people who criticized your summoner spell, runes, and champion choice. Really, criticism isn't all bad, but if you've made an informed choice on purpose, you don't have to listen to other people every game.

When someone is flaming, berating, or being a jerk, you should mute them and remember to report after the game. There is no reason to listen to them, and once a person has started flaming, they're quite unlikely to say anything useful for the rest of the game.

Going AFK is a bad choice to make. The first punishment is a 14 day ban. Then, any punishment for anything else will be a permanent ban.

Aside from punishment from Riot, you're also hurting yourself by purposefully losing games that you could win instead. Or if you don't care about win/loss record, you're losing out on the opportunity to learn more about the game. Or if you don't care about that, you're no longer playing a game that you seem to have wanted to play, so you're missing out on potential fun. And, if you don't care about that, you're wasting 20 minutes of your life that you get only one of.

LizzyonethreeJul 9, 20171 votes

I can't really argue with anything here! I will say this though I do care about having fun, which this game -is- I really do enjoy it...until BAD people ruin it. That's -why- I tab out and do something more interesting.

LizzyonethreeJul 9, 20171 votes

Well I've tried to reply to everyone! But I have a pretty good idea of what the community thinks now... aaaand I have to disagree for the most part. I'm open to -constructive- criticism, but if you're going to flame me i'm checking out. Gone! Done! See ya! If it's just one or two people, yes i'll mute them. But three plus..which has happened to me before. Not dealing with it
