Why do people flame?

The DeckownerMay 1, 20177 votes

No I mean why do people feel like they are cool and badass when they Intentionally feed, troll and cause teammates(or even other players in the game in general) to have a bad experience overall.

My assunption is that they are attention seeking people who gets no love irl, but it just doesn't seem logical to me. What part of grifting/causing others to hate you makes you have a snse of accomplishment?

Why do you want to know about their feelings? You do NOT want to know the people behind the other screens. It will only horrify you.

Why do people flame?

Because when people act childish, it is any upstanding individuals responsibility to properly educate said child on what they are doing wrong. So why do people not flame? (JK, people rarely have such good intentions in mind. Flaming is just the most immediate way of condemning people for their actions. Albeit, it doesn't get you anywhere.) Sometimes for fun too ^_^

That's his point. If people didn't flame, do you think there would still be those willing to int to try and a response?

You honestly think people just go flaming for no reason unless they're 12.

DrCyanideMay 2, 20171 votes

I think people pick childish reasons to flame. They decide they don't like how someone is performing, be it their CS, their positioning, their map awareness, etc, and they flame them because of that.

Why is that childish? They are the things that matter in context of this game

DrCyanideMay 3, 20171 votes

Yes, they matter in the context of the game, but nothing in this game matters enough to flame over.

If the flamer is being honest with themselves, they'd know that while someone else screwed up something, they also screwed up and could have handled the situation better. Once you realize that, the flamers look really, really stupid.

One of my teammates in a game today demonstrated this quite nicely actually. He kept blaming the ADC for not dishing out enough damage in fights, yet refused to see that he kept engaging before the ADC was in position, resulting in fights that were the ADC couldn't capitalize on the enemy being CCed. The flame just made him look childish, because he wasn't taking responsibility for his own actions but rather looking to pin the blame on someone else.

Not saying some people that flame are idiots. I disagree, it's easy to say that when you have no ambition or drive because you si ply don't care

DrCyanideMay 3, 20171 votes

If you care about your account or the progress you've made on it, you wouldn't flame so you can save it.

If you've got the ambition to win, you wouldn't flame because that will only make your teammates perform worse/give up/not want to help you.

So no, being competitive isn't a reason to flame in game. You can vent out loud, just don't bring it into the chat.
