I am a toxic player. I try not to be but this game gets to me sometimes and I need tips on reforming and not being toxic in games. I would rather not just mute everyone and be done with it, as I enjoy being talkative (both positively and sometimes negatively). If anyone could give me tips it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

AllahThaGreatest5 votesThe answer lies within yourself. what do you believe to be the best course of action? think about the consequences of your actions before you perform them. do you respond neutrally? change the topic? or do you ask them to stop? many options are provided to be a reasonable person. just choose the proper course of action.
General Esdeath 5 votesI say things out loud instead of typing
Oakleaf Ranger1 votescant say I have same luxury as you do, otherwise my family would think I a was foul mouthed sailor.
General Esdeath 2 votesI don't yell, I say it in a normal voice or under my breath. It just makes it feel better. You could go Trick2g and say "You guys a re soidjsfjouishfiuohfiuhfiushff" and imagine you're typing "You guys are so fucking bad, garbage at this game"
Oakleaf Ranger1 votesif I'm getting tilted from my team then its because they are doing things that are clearly mistakes/ bad ideas which irritates me because its as they didn't think before they acted. Essentially I get frustrated with them which leads to me wanting to yell. I wouldn't want to yell if they weren't being more of a burden than an ally. Typing gibberish is still "toxic" if it conveys the same message as if I wrote something readable. People know your angry and probably why so there's no real difference either way. One is more blunt about its message while the other is sharp but its still the same message.
General Esdeath 1 votesWait are you talking like annoyed at someone or people doing shit to tilt you? I don't care for mistakes but when people start blaming me or spamming the "?" ping on me I get tilted and pissed.
Oakleaf Ranger1 votesnaw really obvious stuff like the adc split pushing solo (especially when the enemy has an assassin), going deep with no vison, awful itemization, the random ass tower dives is my pet peeve. Generally just watching teammates display shitty game knowledge annoys the hell out of me incredibly more when they type x champ is broken unfair etc... when there are practical ways to overcome those said issues. Obviously sometimes things go bad even with good game knowledge but those are the exceptions not the norm.
General Esdeath 1 votesI think they're dumb but I won't get toxic, I just tell them it's a bad idea.
Oakleaf Ranger1 votesThe main problem is they don't even learn or know what they did wrong. Otherwise they probably wouldn't have done it in the first place. Small obvious mistakes like that can allow the enemy to comeback or take the lead. Especially if your team needs to close the game out if the enemy will eventually out scale yours. Losing because of stuff like that is just so aggravating.
General Esdeath 1 votesIt is but I don't get toxic to people for that. I try to prevent it. I don't care if they learn and climb, but I want to climb.

General Esdeath 1 votesUsually when I skype with someone I don't try or I make jokes/talk about other random things.
GarenRed5 voteswell it would help if this community could just grow a pair, instead of going to cry to mama cause someone said a bad word.
Maybe if the fruitcakes weren't allowed to be a girl for a year because that's "who they felt they were".
Its not you, it's them.
NICKISDAONE2 votesI 100% agree with you, except I can't use that as a reason to say anything.
Warlord Zudane2 votesBecause it's a shit reason.
If you see an asshole in the morning, you saw an asshole.
If you see assholes all the time, maybe you're the asshole.
Seriously, you need to take a step back and change your perspective. Why are you getting toxic? because someone fucked up? Oh dear lord are you really going to expect perfection? Expect improvement, sure but understand that people learn at different paces and they may take longer than a game to learn or may not really adapt until the next game.
Try to help your team, not just by running over and saving them - that's white knighting it, and nobody cares for that. Don't be a hero, just be part of the team. People start yelling? tell them to calm down and play. I do that a lot. Have anger problems? I highly doubt it's confined to this game. Want to not be a toxic player? learn to be a better person.
And lastly, remember that there is no real emotion that is in text. You can't tell whether I am being sincere or sarcastic and your interpretation will likely depend on your mood when you read this. Maybe it's a bit of 'fatherly advice' but I don't mean anything bad to you or anyone else. Having problems in your life or your past is never an excuse for behavior - it may be a reason for it, but you can always change the way you act from here on forward. So, if you read this in any negative or harsh manner, I just ask you to re-read this in a calm and helpful way of passing on some life experience.

Palmeiras SerieB4 votesI have not much that I can do to help you, but I am leaving an upvote
CrimsonCobra32 votesI'm not a toxic player (that is, I don't generally find myself desiring to rant negatively at anyone) however, I do frequently have teammates that decide to berate me over one or another detail. (For instance, playing a character I don't know in solo-q.) When this happens, I find that if I have at least one teammate that behaves positively, then I can maintain my own positivity. Perhaps you could actively seek out positive players in your matches, and use their positivity to bolster your own. Albeit, sometimes there just aren't any positive players on your team. (And most opponents won't fraternize with the enemy.) In these cases, I suggest completely ignoring the chat if possible, and building your champ the most interesting way you can imagine. (I always have more fun if my build is interesting.)
ArnoldSchwarzens2 votesTake pauses from time to time. If you win the first game of the day and it was really great without any assholes in it, further games are much more likely to be better because you start off with a positive attitude.
If one game was really bad though just stop right then and there. If you are already annoyed and in a bad mood you are much more likely to be toxic next game. Go jog a bit or watch something on Netflix to clear your mind and start over again. Added bonus is also that you should have longer win streaks and shorter lose streaks.
I also really can't tell what kind of toxic player you think you are. If you get toxic at people sucking balls in this game just realize that they are going to suck much more if they get pissed at you and everyone else.
If they are unreasonable assholes and that gets you mad just keep in mind that you can't argue with unreasonable people.
And lastly, what helped me improve massively is to get yourself a friend into the game that is overall just really unlikely to get toxic and is close to you. He or she doesn't even have to be a League player to start with, just introduce him/her into the game and start leveling with him/her. Tell him/her to calm you down whenever you start having toxic tendencies. Try to focus on having fun. On the flipside don't ever play with toxic premades. If they ask you to play with them just be honest about why you don't want to. If they're true friends they'll understand.
Hammermancer2 voteshere's an early tip, don't insult your team, use your toxicity, instead of "akali wasn't there to help" say "really? that was a nice play jhin, why did your thresh steal it"
Then just make sure thresh gets bullied for everything by the enemy team
Basically divide and conquer
Desolas Arterius2 votesSome tips I can think of. I hope they help!:
Try to play with friends. Friends usually help me vent out my anger if there is a troll on our team. Usually just venting to them over a chat program can help anyone calm down. Also playing with friends can be fun and help lighten the mood! However, do NOT pair up with toxic friends and use them as a way to bully others. That defeats the purpose of reducing your own toxicity and instead enables it. Look for friends (or other players on the forum) who are laid back, calm, and know how to have a good time :)
Take breaks once in awhile. Sometimes clearing your mind really helps reduce the toxicity. Especially after a very frustrating game. Don't ever push yourself to keep playing when you're angry.
Always play when you're in a good mood. Don't play when you're having a tough time in life, when you're stressed out beyond belief, or when you're emotional. This can cause almost anything to trigger a toxic behavior from you. Always best to play when you're in a good mood!
Remember to have fun. This is still a game after all. If you're not playing to have fun then what are you really after? You can still strive to be good and skilled, but never forget to enjoy the journey to that end goal. If you hate every second of it then there's no point to push yourself further.
Never respond to obvious baits. There's enough people in the community who will try to get emotion out of you. Just try your best to ignore them and focus on yourself. Sometimes it can be really tough, but always remind yourself you're better than stooping down to their level.
If all else fails, just mute, block, and report. I do always suggest people report toxic players, but if you rather not rely on muting then save it as a last resort if the other suggestions dont work. Always prevent yourself from typing out your thoughts into the chat. It can save you a lot.
If you ever need more help I'd be more than happy to walk you through some more steps :)
I wish you the best of luck!
Lcs pro Annie1 votesIf you got a hextech loot restriction that means you are hitler. and you will never reform.
Friendly Ram1 votesimagine your teamates as little toddlers. otherwise just try to have fun. and if you're gonna be negative at least try to be funny about it( instead of omg stop feeding ask if they can 1v7 minions for a little while.)
Sir Fuzzi1 votesHonestly turning off cross-team chat was a really good step for me and shortened up a lot of my behaviors. Otherwise, it's a game-to-game thing. Some people just need to be told off and some people are just going to have a rotten attitude no matter what. That said, I've only been warned once in my time on League-- once in S3, by leaverbuster, for a disconnect from a bot game. It was tragic, but these things happen. You know?
The answer to your question is really just 'you don't.' Toxicity is the language of League, and they took away tribunal which was kind of curious. If you need tips, I might suggest that maybe non-toxicity isn't your thing. Lace your toxicity with more humour, let people know you're not there to impugn their family name.
Honestly, most of the times I've laughed my ass off at League have been toxic comments. My Lux game was off and my ults were bad, so someone told me, 'this lux here ulting like stevie wonder.' Good times. Give anything wit and humour and people will damn near make fun of themselves.
Gary B Enkelis1 votesI think admitting that you're toxic / not perfect is a great step. But I don't know. :D
dominusx1 votesdont be toxic for the chance of good hextech loot. that the only reason im not toxic. other than that people beg me to be toxic with their stupidity but ever since i got Project yi i stopped flaming xD
Princess Íncest1 votesI like being toxic. Why do you think I have this name?
Dragfin1 votesUntil RIOT starts taking a more extreme approach to the toxicity (AFK's/DC's. intentional feeders, trolls, non team players etc, etc) that cause chat toxicity, it will always be a problem. No amount of muting or reporting is going to fix chat toxicity until the real problem is addressed. It's common sense but RIOT and too many of the players are lacking in that department and are too lazy or apathetic to address it.
NichtHurz1 votesRegarding intentional feeding: Riot already punishes intentional feeding extremely hard if it's detected, intentional feeders receive an instant 14 days ban. Problem is, the system detecting intentional feeding is extremely lacking and will take extremely long time for a ban if people don't just write "I'm gonna feed now"
Immortal spax1 votesBe passive-aggressive.
Instead to ask to your jungler why in 15 min she didnt ganked any single lane, ask her "why are you stacking devourer?"
Instead to yell to your adc because he chose to cs instead to engage when you pinged, just tell him that in october Farming Simulator 17 will be out.
Its not a solution but its always better than flaming, also most of the time people are stupid ans dont get it, so you will not even get reported.
Mister Punches1 votesMute all the people in your game.
Don't talk smack to anyone if you decide not to do the first thing.
Listen to your teammates. League is a team based game, going Rambo 1 v 5 is just as toxic as talking smack to the enemy team just because you lost your cool.
Don't be the Call of Duty kid, which is basically the second point. We already have too many of those types of players in this game, and they aren't getting punished fast enough.
Hinu Hyuga1 votesWhen I get a team that pushes my buttons the wrong way. I just sit back, and think about what I'm going to say, but never type it out.

Type /mute all when your teams going to intentionally troll / throw
Go about the game, report the player intentionally trolling, and don't talk trash.
If people ping spam turn off your sound problem solved...
Don't argue with idiots, you know they are, and unlike real life you can do something about it called "mute"...
This is why games are more fun when you play with 3+ friends who know what they are doing or have premade teams I do team play but mostly in over-watch never ran into toxicity before really besides a few hackers.
DEKInw1 voteswhen i get really pissed and tilted i just replace every swear with heck so i dont get put in the rito potty mouth timeout corner
