Effective methods of avoiding toxic players
-
Don't talk to them if possible. Muting everyone is ok, might not result in the greatest synergy, but it's better than tilting from trash talk.
-
If they add you post game to talk trash, don't accept or decline the request, just let it sit there for a week or so until they forget about you.
-
If you must talk to them, avoid antagonizing them, avoid criticizing them unless they SPECIFICALLY ask for criticism.
-
Don't be toxic yourself. You attract the kind of person that you are.
