Rage escalating into infinity

Lost R·Apr 14, 2016·2 votes·438 views

Not me, but others. I keep encountering people who are already on a hair trigger temper, and the slightest, smallest, most innocuous thing will send them spiraling into a massive, blood puking, permaban worthy rage. The kind of hatred and rage that makes you angrier, which in turn makes you even angrier, and forever angrier until you basically collapse into a singularity. This has happened in almost every game today, and over things that could not have possibly affected the person in the slightest.

There's only so much reporting and blocking people can do. Seriously, you all out there need to chill the fuck out. That amount of anger is how you have a stroke at the age of 20.

If people are raging and being toxic in chat, just ignore them (mute if must), as they most likely need to vent out their frustrations, and report at the end of the game for such behaviour. No reason to get caught up in their moment of rage and tilt, affecting your gameplay and state of mind.

You're missing my point. I said this has been happening with greater frequency. It's getting to the point where you have one per game, if not two.

The issue is that Riot cannot control how players behave and act, they can only provide guidelines and rules to be followed and punishments for not following those rules. The action to rage and be toxic in chat ultimately falls on the player.

People believe that THEY are the entitled one. Who is sheer greatness and the powers that be are holding them down. Many try, few succeed. There is only one Einstein. All others bow to his shrine. Then complain that they are just as good or better but they were cheated out of their spot in history.

Like 90% of the fucking issues in this game stem from this failed punishment system. Name me ONE other game you play where when you say something offensive or do something offensive the ENTIRE team will sit and BEG, as in " i will suck your penis if you PLEASE omg PLEASE report this player". Either you PC players are a bunch of fragile tempered losers or its just the games system.

Any system that records your actions. Those punishments are handed out, but it's easier to get away with it on consoles, where your every move isn't being monitored. Most systems just record text, which is easier for machines to understand and skim through for humans, but Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation; they all have their punishment systems.

This isn't a result of the regressive left. These systems have always been around so we can boast some degree of civility, even before video games or computers were a thing. This is pure, unfiltered rage, the kind of rage that is literally self-destructive.
