Why are people such cry babies in this game?

Let us exclude super toxic stuff for a second, telling people they are trash kys etc which I still think is preposterous still since they are just "words" in a video game but let's move on to stuff that isn't even toxic that for some reason is "against the rules".

So I wouldn't say I'm toxic anymore since I don't bash my teammates for sucking dick, I do say "Stop feeding" but I don't count that as toxic, but maybe it is, I mean league counts anything as toxic nowadays and it will probably fall under "negative attitude" or "griefing" or some bullshit riot has in the rules that they think is toxic.

Anyway putting aside Riot's usual bullshit let's get to the main point. The thing I get pissed off the most is when people don't surrender and I made a thread about it earlier. And I get pissed when my teammates waste my time etc and I keep telling my teammates to ff and say why the hell are we not ffing? the game's over, look at the score. And for some reason that is toxic? It falls under the bullshit category of "negative attitude". Yeah so telling my teammates to not waste my time is toxic right? What? And don't even get me started on how saying "report lee for being toxic" is against the rules because that is preposterous and no one even gets banned just for saying that since all non super toxic players say that and none of them get punished. Can't imagine why this game is dying. And don't worry I'll be nice and not go into how Riot is harsher on people who hurt others feels through words instead of actually trolling for real.

Basically, things that aren't even toxic are like considered toxic which is beyond preposterous. "he said gg in the first 5 mins, report for unsportsmanlike"

It's not about hurting so much as being an annoyance. A yapping chihuahua does not hurt me, but I want it to shut up anyway.

Don't be a chihuahua.

The thing is what people assume what Riot seems as toxic isn't actually toxic. Telling someone not to feed itself isn't toxic, it's when you constantly need to point it out, you end up badgering your teammate and like someone else put it you become an annoyance! People want to enjoy and relax when playing a game (no matter how competitive) that's basically the point of video games. Once you start threatening and basically diminishing someone because they aren't playing the way you want to is when you start to be toxic.

With that said with as much time I've been on these boards I've never seen someone get ban just for simply saying "stop feeding". It's usually much more than that, but it doesn't really help their case when again they become and annoyance!

That's why we have a surrender vote. You can put one up, if your team votes no, then deal with it and keep playing. Just because you think the game is over it doesn't mean everyone should stop playing for your convenience.

It's not about being offended. It's about not dealing with randos from the internet being annoying about every mistake I make.

You are just as good as your teammates and if they don't want to surrender cause they see a chance or want to play the game till the bitter end then it is what it is.

I had a 11 game winning strike 2 days ago and in these games people on my team always wanted to surrender. I convinced them to stick together and keep cool, we got this. As everyone was calm we handled it.

If I want somebody to do something I ask them nicely and motivate people to go for things.

You can try to go to your mum and want a new bike with 2 versions:

"fk you bitch i need a new bike right now and you gimme a bike or kys"

"mum, i would love to have a new bike cause the old one is pretty much done and i can't to go out with my friends without one"

You think you have it bad in your MMR?

People at my level are the most sensitive fragile things in our galaxy.

One ? ping and it's matched with an int on purpose and then expressing how upset they are for the rest of the game.

Say ANYTHING about a mistake or play, and it's keyboard warrior time baby.

Let me cry, about other cry about words....... The surrender option requires 4/5 people to agree that a game is unwinable, if two people feel the game is winable. Respect their choice, now if they're doing it out of spite and openly acknowledge this. Report them

It's a surrender vote. If everyone else on the team wants to continue, then continue playing. There are four other people who's opinions are just as important as yours.

A thing to consider is the spite vote. If someone is constantly spamming the surrender and then complaining about how they can't win and everyone should just surrender and end the game and just generally being annoying there is a high probability that people will vote no out of spite. You're being annoying and possibly to these people being blamed for the lose, even if they aren't saying it in chat, because you've essentially given up. They may see a way to win if you'd just shut up and play, but you won't even try, so they are just going to keep you in the game until the bitter end. It's not much, but sometimes it's all a team has.
