Players who intentionally try to tilt others

iisabrina·Jun 12, 2016·2 votes·1,070 views

Its pretty sad but Ive noticed since I joined league, theres probably about 5% or more, of members, who will intentionally try to tilt their team mates just so they can report them. They get a kick out of seeing the "player has been punished" sign.

They will say pretty nasty stuff that doesnt get picked up by the chat filter made by a bunch of plebian software developers.

there should be a new report option that says aggravation/aggrivation.

I usually just mute my entire team but Ive had trolls who will follow me around (as jungle ) and just try to kill my animals steal the gold, press control 4, and dance. Since we are forced to sit back and take the abuse, there should be an option to report the aggrivator.

im pretty sure "unsportsmanlike conduct" is a placebo report

redniwediSJun 12, 20161 votes

The description of it sure makes it seem like a real report option.

the only times ive ever gotten the popup for it are when i've reported them for other categories as well

Someone put a screenshot of a popup from an unsportsmanlike conduct report recently, I'll see if I can find it.

its the same popup no matter what you report them for

Are you sure? This one seems rather specific toward the unsportsmanlike conduct option.

yes. its same if i report them for unsportsmanlike conduct/afk/verbal abuse as if i report them for hatespeech/afk/verbal abuse. what you report them for has no bearing on the popup

People really need to stop using the lack of the feedback message as evidence of anything. Those messages only pop up in very specific situations. Anything that is not punished by an automated system will not ever give a popup, like griefing. Which is part of unsportsmanlike. They often require manual reviews and in those cases there will never be a feedback message.

If you see something you don't like, it probably falls under "unsportsmanlike conduct". It's a catch-all that lets you report others for (almost) no reason.

scazzmanJun 12, 20162 votes

this really needs to be addressed.

riot's stance of "mute and report" only works for so long. and the people who dont get punished due to being flamebaited either dont play often enough to get banned by it, or only play bots/aram

MeilinIIJun 12, 20163 votes

Nah, it's just that only idiots and losers get 'flamebaited' and fall for it. Adults don't react or care.

I started muting people in chat, muting everyone. I started league in december, to be honest most league players belong to a weird group of people. Ive found myself become one, and its not a happy state.

Took me about 2 months to realize that there are disgusting people who flame bait, but I think if riot wants to see the light of day for the next couple of years before shutting down (I am an investor and I can tell you they are not perfoming well financially), they should probably step it up a notch and stop catering just to their diamond players.

If you say something along the lines of:

"If I die again I will AFK" or "if you don't gank my lane I'm AFK"

I'm going to watch the map. I'm going to wait for you to have 200 hp with an enemy clearly about to kill you. I am going to ping DANGER 10 times in a row.

I'm not breaking any rules.

You, however, already broke rules by threatening to go AFK. So if I can push you off the edge with a ping and get you to actually do it (increasing the likelyhood you'll get punished), I'll eat the loss and go for it.

lmao okay.

Rage harder over a silly little ping, and then tell me you didn't deserve it.

ad hominem at it's finest. ive stopped using chat altogether. because of people like you. people deliberately baiting toxicity. or fanning the flames trying to make it more likely your report will count. is one of the most toxic things someone can do in game.

A. you make your team more likely to lose. because people are invested in shutting you up/getting you to stop as opposed to actually playing the game, especially if someone is noticing that its working

B. taunting someone who is clearly already upset is just a scummy thing to do in general

C. there are people playing the game with social disorders. many of whom use league as a coping mechanism. some of which make it impossible to ignore provocation. what if your ping spamming caused someone to have a PTSD flashback?

D. many "toxic" players. would eventually calm down on thier own before reaching the point of needing to be reported. however provoking them, makes it that much harder

As someone with PTSD, don't bring my diagnosis into your bullshit.

i apologise. i was not meaning to offend anyone. just trying to make a point

MeilinIIJun 12, 20161 votes

Your point shows a fundamental lack of knowledge and respect for how PTSD and mental illnesses in general work. Mental illness is a struggle that does not absolve us of personal responsibility to follow rules. If someone is triggered by a game in a way that cannot be controlled, they shouldn't be playing that game. We expect and deserve reasonable accommodations (I.E. I expect my friends to tag triggering shit on social media and I expect RIOT's ESRB rating to reflect potentially triggering content) but I do not expect the fact that I am triggered to be an excuse to get away with breaking rules. That's disgusting, insulting, and you need to fucking stop using us as a scapegoat for YOUR agenda. Full stop.

If a silly little ping pushes them over the edge, then maybe League isn't the game for them. :)

not "one silly little ping" and id venture to guess you will be passive aggressively provoking them in chat as well. i know your type

Why would I provoke them in chat?

scazzmanJun 12, 20161 votes

also. i dont like how it says " most people punished for unsportsmanlike conduct are usually having a bad day and wont do it again" that seems very suspiciously like theyre trying to desensitize people to reports

NarvuntienJun 12, 20161 votes

Complicated.

see I don't buy the "It's their fault they got offended, I was just joking but they banned me" excuse. That is silly since if they were offended you said something offensive.

But here my first thought is that they shouldn't of reacted, that they should of had self control and ignored them... but you are right this is kind of the same situation isn't it.

I have to admit there have been a couple of times where someones attitude just made it impossible for me to not want to troll them. I was playing Lux in mid lane and my Warwick jungler (this was a long time ago) wouldn't give me blue.. so I Lasered blue buff from mid lane and stole it from him... that made him sooo mad.... next time it came up again.... I couldn't resist doing it again and I was successful and he rage quit.

I didn't feel at the time I was really being that toxic, I didn't understand why the warrick was so salty, right from the start of the match.

The tricky thing is that It is much easier to have self control when it comes to not reacting, its not as silly as the statement "don't get offended on the internet". didn't you have to deal with this in school? its always the kid that reacted that got in trouble.

Following your jungler around and stealing their stuff to put them way behind is not playing to win.. that is something that is clearly wrong and I am pretty sure you can report them for that. But some other things like "you are bad" and ping spaming is harder to call a reportable offense even if it tilts your allies.
