League is a mentally painful game.

It genuinely pains me that someone can be so mentally handicapped to flame someone for no reason, I genuinely do not understand what goes on in the mind of these poor people, just what? if anything...

Not even the insults themself give me pain, just the fact that someone flames another human being for no reason.

JuSt MuTe HiM oR HeR!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!, no.. it's running away from the actual problem that these kinds of people have.

I don't understand. These people have the problem. You can't run away from someone else's problems. What you do is remove yourself from their problems - hence, mute them. You know, League is good practice for real life. You're going to encounter family, friends, coworkers who you just have to fucking tune out sometimes because they're assholes. Remember the thing about arguing with assholes -

When you wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty, and the pig likes it.

I'm surprised you don't see the irony in complaining about flamers and in the same breath spouting hate speech and branding them as "mentally handicapped".

Seriously, you're proving no better than them here. I get that flamers suck, but you're going well over the line with your complaint.

...I genuinely do not understand what goes on in the mind of these poor people, just what? if anything...

Again; implying that nothing goes through their head and that they're just mindless vitriol machines makes you no better than the flamers. They're people. Just because you don't readily understand them doesn't mean you have free reign to insult and dehumanize them over the fact that they flame.

Not even the insults themself give me pain, just the fact that someone flames another human being for no reason.

For seemingly no reason. It's not that they have no reason, it's that their reasons for flaming are poorly conceived or counterintuitive.

Frankly? It's not your problem. It's theirs. You're not playing League to counsel wayward toxic players into being better sports. You're playing League to play League. If someone flames you, you're supposed to mute them, report them, and move on.

Mute them so that you don't have to deal with their flaming in the match, report them so that they can suffer repercussions for their misbehavior - and consequently, be put on the first step to seeing and fixing the problems with their behavior - and move on, because the odds of you meeting that particular player again are comically low.

And of course; Focus on yourself, not others. You're not going to be able to "fix" a toxic player in any match you play. If they're toxic, they're unreasonable, and no amount of trying to engage them will actually help assuage the problem. You should focus on your play, and, more importantly, your problems, as I pointed out earlier, above everything else, because you are the only person you can control.

League is a mentally painful game.

Well, what can I say? You vehemently refuse to mute problem players, making the game mentally painful in so doing. If you don't want to use the tools at your disposal to make the game less stressful, there's nothing that anyone here could say that would really help you.

I LOL'd at your post, and I shouldn't because I know you are frusted but I couldn't help it... because I'm just cynical. Who cares what goes on in their heads? A few humans are really great, a slight majority are just meh/indifferent/whatever, and then the rest are just generally terrible to each other.

The sooner you embrace misanthropy the happier you'll be my friend.

I gave up on other people LONG ago. A person acting shitty doesn't even phase me anymore. Doesn't mean I choose to act that way in return. Live up to your own standards, and be the living exemplar of how one should treat others. There are a... select few diamonds in the manure heap of humanity who may take notice and learn something about the golden rule.

i do have to say... in my 8 years of playing league i met around 10 ppl that were so extreme in their toxic and stupidity that i do not want to exist with them on the same planet. i dont even want to exist with them in the same universe. im not even kidding. and no i didnt meet any of them ever again but those ~10 ppl are burned in my memorie for reaching a combination of toxicity and stupidity i have NEVER EVER seen ANYWHERE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I think this belongs in RANT, there's nothing to discuss.

Muting everyone right from the start solves this. Out of sight, out of mind. Simple! [slayer-jinx-wink]
