If I'm supposed to mute whoever says that I am bad, then what do I do when all 4 people gang up on me? All 4 people say im bad... just mute all 4?
Just don't say anything? Can't I get banned for going 2/12/2 or something for feeding?
So hug nexus turret and never say anything? okay.... what a fun gam
You weren't banned for playing bad, you were banned for flaming as well. They likely received punishment too if you reported them.
Yes, mute all 4 and do not talk to them. I guarantee that you will receive no punishment.
If all 4 people gang up on you, then mute all 4 people.
It's rare, but it's unavoidable. Report them after the game and the system will handle them, and they be happy than you're probably never going to play with them again.
And don't worry, you can't be banned for simply playing bad. You have to be intentionally losing the game to be banned, but playing poorly isn't bannable, and even if someone reports you, it wont do anything.
Hey @OP.
I'm going to offer my take on this having read now all of your recent threads. You are trying so hard to "game the system" and play logic games with others to try and make some sort of excuse for or explain your toxicity. I firmly believe now that you know what you did was wrong, you know it was against the rules, and you know that it ruined the game experience for other players - you simply don't care because you think you're more important than everyone else.
It is obvious you know what you did wrong and are not willing to change. If you're unwilling to have constructive discussion here, why even keep making threads?
Dude, do you really need to make three separate threads about the same ban?
You say you were trying to offer criticism and that you shouldn't be punished for doing so, but it all depends on how you deliver your criticism. People are generally more willing to listen to criticism when it's given in a mature and respectful manner and not filled with insults, raging and harassment. From Ulanopo's Knowledge Base:
I don't think that I should be punished for trying to give advice.
If you have been hit with a punishment, that likely means that you are being negative in your advice towards others. As an example, stop feeding is not good advice. The negative connotation around feeding in this game makes you seem hostile and accusatory, and will likely cause more problems than it solves. On top of that, youre not actually giving advice, youre only telling them what not to do rather than HOW they can stop feeding. Better advice would be to hug your turret and wait for a gank or help bot snowball, Ill be fine once we get to late game.
Even if you are being positive or neutral with your advice, it is likely to be misconstrued as negative for a whole host of reasons:
- While in a Ranked game, we are likely more stressed than normal, which makes us more likely to lash out at someone, even if they are trying to genuinely help
I want to talk about the final point especially, as there can be any number of things going on behind the screen that you dont know about. They could be tired, or drunk, and therefore playing more sluggishly. They could be actual trolls, and dont care what you have to say. They could already know what theyre doing, but for whatever reason (going on tilt, tunnel vision, etc), forget to act on that knowledge or experience. Or they could be genuinely unsure as to what to do. In all but the last one, they are going to be less than willing to accept anything that you say to them. Even if someone means well when they tell me how to improve in the game, I often already know what theyre trying to say, and am already beating myself up over it. Telling me what Im doing wrong and how to improve merely irritates me even more, makes me more self-aware, and then mess up more as a result of over-thinking something.
If you are still determined to help others, then I strongly recommend that you only do so when they explicitly ask for feedback, in order to minimize your helping words to fall on deaf ears. I also recommend that you maintain a neutral or positive tone. Say what they did right before you say what they did wrong, and theyll be more willing to listen to you, as you will come across as a more balanced individual who can recognize the strengths in others as well as the weaknesses. Also refrain from doing so while in-game, in order to minimize the impact there. There is nothing inherently wrong with giving feedback to others, but, unfortunately, you do so at your own risk.

usually when ppl say i do bad its because they cant dodge skillshots and are jealous on my sexy kda LOOL yes mute report and move on. even tell them that they are muted, that tilts them even more and makes them flame harder. why that is a good thing? then they are removed from the game sooner and ruin less games.

think about it, there is no reason they'll just gang up on you, there is a reason.
