4 Seasons, Not a Single Punishment of Any Sort

PlsTouchMeGently·10/12/2018, 8:04:49 AM·18 votes·10,198 views

I've always been a positive, encouraging player. Until now, that is. I recently got a 10 game chat restriction. I've been playing since S4, and I've honestly enjoyed the game a lot up to this point. But season 8? Man, everything is just so fucked. Damage insanely high, towers crazy weak. It's no longer a game of who has the best strategy, but instead a game of who had the player who fed the least.

I was definitely toxic over those three games, and have been in games recently. I've never been like that before. And I take responsibility for my actions; I shouldn't have let the frustration get to me. It just seems to me like this season in particular breeds frustration and toxicity in a manner that I haven't seen at all before. I'm going to be taking a long break from League; possibly permanent. The chat restriction really just showed me that 1. I'm not being the positive person I usually am and want to be right now when playing this game, and 2. I'm not enjoying the game the way I have up until this season. Thanks for the memories, Riot. I hope things change, on both your side and mine.

Sounds like that you've hit a brick wall in regards to the climb.

Once a person loses their means to progress, they lose sight of their goals, and they end up being salty.

Congratulations! You have denied the innevirable for so long. Now go ahead and blame season 8 for all the toxicity like everyone else. [sg-miss-fortune]

This season is literally just luck.

If you have the worse player you will lose. Macro rarely matters. Skill rarely matters.

I can go even in a lane I'm supposed to lose hard in, but then my other laners will just continue to int kill after kill. I missed my boat to get to plat...

I climbed from gold 5 to gold 1 in the first 3 weeks of this ranked season. I had an 80% winrate. I was happy with how well I was doing as well as the teams I was getting. I took a break. Worst mistake ever. Why? Next time I queued up like a month later all the ex low plats I was playing with were back in plat. I got matched with people that just made it to gold from silver. Long story short, 100 games later I'm gold 5. It didn't matter that I played smart, if I won lane, if I went even. My team would usually lose lane and I would lose by result. Now I know, not every game I was good. I'm not perfect, I fucked up. But 90% of the times I lose games its because half my team would be 0/4 by 15 minutes because they refuse to play smart.

I dont even care anymore. My play is shit now. I'll try for plat next year, maybe I'll get lucky and get out before I trap myself...

That sucks, you will likely not get your end of season rewards due to this.

While I feel you , I also had times where I completely lost it , tried to tilt my teammates even in my plat promo because they did mistakes I also played Orianna jungle beecause I had the same bot lane that threw us the match and they banned my pick which was Kayn , even thought I ganked them as Kayn and gave them advantage , but yeah they flamed me and blamed me when they didn't even try to help u in baron , got filled jungle twice , so the second match I played Orianna jungle hoping someone to dodge , while I hate myself for doing that , those people don't even regret what they did and they think they are right

Hell, they gave me the boot, after going from season 2 to 5, without any issue. I get in a few games with premades that flame you into a report, and gg wp. Riot is a dying company. They ban real people over bots because they don't like mean words. Forget perma muting toxic players. Just ban em! Riot is trying to rot away into obscurity. It's a dying game, and for all the right reasons. Twisted tree is a battle of the team with fewer bots, ranked is a matter of getting someone who's not just gonna mute everyone and int away, never getting banned, because they didn't say anything, so clearly they're a healthy part of the community! This game takes words and online talk so hard that I'm amazed it's lasted this long. It'll be 6 feet under come 2020. Just because most the people who enjoy their game will be banned, because only the casual thin skins' living in denial will be accepted to LoL.

why riot just can't understand that "flaming.Toxicity"is just a part of this game...........where there is competition,there is trash talking......people released their emotion for getting happiness. Bro there is nothing wrong with it.

I got mine first when the chat restriction system was impleemnted. I said something like I'd like to put banana in you ass ahri. It was meant as a joke, ahri player was amused so no insult. Chat restriction was later removed.

Changes on your side are irrelevant, changes on league side will probably not go your way. Bon Voyage.

If you usually are (and care to be) a measured individual in your real life, follow my advice and stop playing the game. It will put things back in perspective.

League of Legends ain't that important, after all.

To be honest if you're that frustrated over an online videogame that you feel the need to lash out to random strangers, that's not an experience worth your time.

You're just wasting all of your free time enduring negative emotions for no actual reason. Why are you even playing, if every game you end up flaming, being toxic and angry?

Find something else to do, something you truly enjoy, and start being a decent human being again.

Welcome to the club, buddy. I've gone through 4 accounts, just in this season alone.
