People flaming at you is not an excuse to flame at them

Hi,

I've been playing some ranked games (finishing up provisionals) and, because it's ranked, I've had a lot of awful, toxic people on my team in virtually every game. At the end of each game I end up reporting at least half my team most of the time and needless to say it's very draining mentally. That said, there was an interesting thing that came up in one of the games where our Caitlyn was flaming the crap out of our Rammus (who I had muted 5 minutes in because he was toxic) because he was constantly flaming her and playing bad. She thought that was OK because he was being toxic and feeding etc.

I told her, twice, to chill out but she kept flaming - in all caps. At the end of the game I reported both the Cait and Rammus. If this happens in your games, please do the same. Just because someone is constantly abusing you - or anyone else - it is not a green light to abuse them. The constant negativity and verbal abuse in ranked has a bad mental effect on me and other people. If you are contributing to it, then a report is deserved.

/ignore and move on

p.s. I went 2-8 in my provisionals (with a nice lovely C in almost every game) and somehow went from unranked to Silver V. If someone can enlighten me as to how that's possible, it'd be appreciated xd
