Playing ranked: Team harasses me for small mistakes?

The title says it all, and I've never been so frustrated in a video game before from not being able to do anything w/ getting harassed/bullied for "being bad" or "trolling". I just wanted to play this game for fun but it's ruined by other teammates that think I'm trolling them... but I'm playing seriously.

I'm not sure how you all do it with the toxicity, I really think I'm not mentally strong enough to play a game where I'm getting harassed every game.

I'm sure that anyone reading this doesn't really care about my perspective of the game, but this kind of attitude is why the game's major player-base is dying. It would be more enjoyable to rather watch people play than play the game myself.

Have you tried muting them? They cant harass if they cant speak. Also gettin' better at the game would help this problem too :)

I Look at it this way If you spend the entire game telling your team how "trash" or "garbage" they are compared to you (General term, not specific), then you deserve whatever loss comes your way. I got out of a match where my whole team kept going on and on about how "garbage" everyone else was, how "trash" they were. "why do this in MY ranked games" I am more than willing to give 0 fucks and just play league secondary. I am still playing, But not playing to my full effort and attention. Because quite simply this community is no longer worth it. If players want to spend the entire game talking about how thier team belongs beneath thier feet, how teams are "Garbage" for not having the right build, right kda, right skill level... then I think the only "Garbage player" is the one who holds the team so far beneath it. And I am not willing to put my best effort to prop up some overinflated ego like that.

Seems like to these people ANYTHING short of master tier perfection is "trolling" or "greifing" You make ONE mistake or get 4v1'ed and its considered "inting"

I am constantly being told "its just a game" (even in ranked) so I treat it as such. They can get mad all they want but riot will punish someone because they arent playing to another person's standards.

When you sense toxicity from a player, mute them.

That's how you get through it.

Try muting all. /mute all. Ive never done it, but maybe it will help. Ive heard multiple people say it changed the game in such a positive way for them. Just try it out a few games. If it sucks still, then yeah, fuck league.

How about getting gud. But honestly though. It's more fun getting better at the game instead of always crying about it, cause you improve instead of do nothing.

Most of the time i just mute my allies for a while when they first say something.

Unmute them after 4 mins or so incase they actually say something useful

Don't play ranked to have fun unless you enjoy competition, then just mute all. Otherwise just play norms, ARAMs, or RGMs.

If you want to find true fun in league, look for super nice players and make up random customs! Too fun to describe you need to try it :3

I just smile and ignore them as I know their false reports does nothing to me and their harassment will eventually get them banned.
