Gloating.

AR URF··4 votes·429 views

So this recent game, there was an enemy darius that kept saying "thank you for the kill" and "thanks again" everytime he killed me or one of my teammates. i asked him why he was gloating and he said "I'm not", but continued to say one of those to lines. It was clear to me that he was gloating.

Anyway is something like this report worthy?

Entirely up to you. Go ahead and report him for Negative Attitude. If enough people do the same he'll get reviewed. And if not, oh well, you'll likely never see him again.

I mean if riot doesn't set boundaries on what's ok and what's not, than more and more people are going to get away with stuff. Thing about this game is that it's not tilting for me when people do stuff like this, it's just unsportsmanlike and annoying. It's like if you were on a football team and you win and you go up to the opposing team and go "we won, thanks for letting us win" or "You guys are garbage, get good". If someone did that IRL I'm pretty sure the coach would kick them off the team so fast, they would think they're dreaming.

Not true. Ideally thats how the system should work but that is not how the system does work. Those reports just go to the trashbin

Truth be told that there are millions of players and there's going to be at least 1 out of 10 players each round that's going to be toxic. So if you figure millions and 1/10 of them are toxic, than that's probably around 400k+ people that are toxic. That also means that 400k+ accounts need to be reviewed.

That is passive tilting. And it worked. He politely thanked you for getting him ahead or giving him a kill. But unless he constantly spammed, "GG trash laner GG EZ." there isn't much to do about it. Passive toxicity is harder to really define by a program looking for reports then hateful toxicity.

That's realllly thin. You're allowed to talk trash, it's not against the rules. What IS against the rules is harassing and being overly unsportsmanlike.

I'm a super friendly, polite, and non-toxic player. But if you dive me and I outplay you and double-kill or triple-kill you, you bet your ass I'm gonna /all GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, and I'll be damned if you tell me otherwise. Part of the enjoyment of this game involves making big plays and then exulting over them. As long as you aren't a flagrant asshole about it, that's tolerated.

You can't expect people to be fluffy angels with each other 100% of the time.

I'm all for sportsmanlike conduct, but when you punish the faintest whiff of negativity, you run into issues. Riot already enforces against flagrant toxicity, and I see no reason why somebody who says "thanks" after grabbing a kill needs to be punished for that.
