Verbal Abuse Over Meta
So I'v been playing a lot of games ranked so I can get a rank, which I'm not even ranked yet. I pick either blitz support or fiddlesticks support if blitz gets banned, because it means that the enemy team is going to be offensive enough to make fiddlesticks a counter carry. Another thing I do is I'll play top lane and quasus, but, I haven't been top the entire time I'v been playing ranked, so I can't really talk about top. When I get support, I never build items "designated" to be support. The reason why is because it doesn't match my play style, which involves flexibility between being a support tank and being a lane pusher if my teams doing poor, with blitzcrank of course. When I pick fiddlesticks, I build banshees veil first so I can actually be useful, but, I also choose e to prioritize as a skill for lane pushing purpose. These builds I end up pulling when I can actually build, normally do extremely well in games that aren't ranked. When I play ranked games, the enemy normally is just the same, but, suddenly other team members will essentially "throw the game" just because I didn't pick the item they wanted.
At first I was reporting maybe 2 or 3 people a game for toxic and even received notices that the toxic players were dealt with. I'v been cursed at and called names that these people probably learned from their parents, many times now. One game, my adc just left because wave 2, I killed 2 minions with my e as fiddlesticks unintentionally and told me to stop using it. I explained that this is how I'm dealing damage to the enemy champions. He proceeded to go mid lane and left me bottom lane while spamming for people to report me, which only one person on each team agreed with him. After I get tower dived each game, while being by myself because my adc will leave me and even run back to the other tower if I get dived, even one game where I almost had a double kill from the tower divers but died instead, I then get told by people that I am intentionally feeding for defending the objectives. If I even walk out for a second and get ganked, my team will let me die just because of it.
Could you imagine if these people had children? They would probably starve them to death for not having the same color eyes. What I'm saying is this. People need to have punishments for reporting someone merely because they didn't conform to that individuals form of OCD. I tell these people that if they wanted to play support, they should have picked support. I end up dying the most, getting the least kills and even the least assist kills because my team mates will leave me under a tower, alone. I'v even had people yell at me for not getting boots, when I said I don't need boots if I'm a tank support and have been under the tower throughout most of the game.
