People wonder why their teammates suddenly don't care and throw when they get flamed.

I play ranked for semi-serious games I don't care about my actual rank but when someone wants to be a dickhead I can just as easily throw there promos off because they don't wanna play nice and blame everyone else can you really blame the people getting flamed? I see it all the time a few people flame one person and he magically sabotages the team and everyone freaks out like it's some huge surprise... if you wanna stroke your ego by putting down your teammate and he suddenly stopped giving a shit it's just as much your fault as it is his you got to his head you made it so he's no longer having fun.

IRL I'm less caring about words because I hate snowflakes, but in this situation this does not constitute being a snowflake we play games because we have fun if something is no longer fun be it the match or the game itself were obviously not going to put effort into it think about that before you flame your teammates or even watch them be flamed without saying anything to defuse it so everyone can enjoy the game.

Wow, someone who uses snowflake as an insult but cares about people not being complete douchebags? First time I've seen someone use the term without being a snowflake themselves.

YOURE GETTING UPVOTED? AHAHAHAHAH THIS COMMUNITY IS SO FUCKING DUMB.

The guy literally said "Flame me and i will troll" in a 74 word sentence.

That's why the community is shit. That's why it's all running downhill, because you oversensitive little schmuks over populated the game. You're always acting like a victim, nobody can tell you "hey, can you play a little bit passive", you will instantly start trolling and throwing the game because you think that you deserve the best ? Not only that, but you troll-asses will report them for being negative towards you, the one who told you to play safe will get perma banned, he's gonna have a dead account, his hours of playing are useless now, his money spent on an account is literally spent on nothing now. Deep in your soul, you all know that you're bad, but you just dont want to admit it, instead, you report everyone and start trolling. You say that you don't care about rank ? Fine, you will stay in gold 5 forever because of your attitude. But hey, after all, i'd rather play with a 45% winrate 0/21 kda player than with a flamer who carries me :)))) After all, i want to have fun in this game, i dont want to climb :)))) Im happy with my Silver 5 rank and my 36% winrate :))))))).

Cannot believe, guy literally said that he will intentionally throw the game if someone calls him out and you upvote that... Fucking silver community. GOSH.

It's even better when they start yelling but don't seem to have a good grasp on what your actual job is. This doesn't happen much, but usually a story comes out of it.

Such as...

The other day I had a Jinx ADC (as Sona) versus a Varus/Nami lane, and when I went in at level 2 for poke, Jinx dove in and got smushed. He wasn't a dick then, just said, "I thought you wanted to fight," which was odd considering I've been flamed for not poking enough and I hadn't been especially aggressive, but you know, whatever.

Then, just after we hit six, he types 'ult'. Now I know damned well if I do that without both lined up, we're just going to get Tidal Waved or shot full of holes, and even if I hit both we're still getting Tidal Waved because he's not killing either of them during the stun (they were both nearly full HP). But I don't have time to type back because he's going in. The Tidal Wave comes, I ult to try and save him, he dies, and gets mad at me. Again, though, whatever.

Later I'm following Ryze, and on the map at least three enemies flash briefly before disappearing into fog of war. But he saw one and he's after them. I follow but sort of hang back because he's clearly walking into a bad situation. He gets Varus ulted and destroyed, then they catch me and drop me too. My mistake there was following him at all (following people into bad spots is my biggest issue). But he starts yelling, you have to keep me alive, if I die you die, and it's like... 2v4, man!

So I'm like, what do you expect me to do? One of them says, just heal and ward, which... it's Sona, not Soraka. Yeah, she does those things, but she does more than that. Then another one says, "And take some shots for us." I HAVE LESS HP THAN ANYONE ELSE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT RABBLERABBLERABBLE

I didn't purposely throw anything, but being support, part of my job is doing what my teammates need, and part of that is knowing what they expect. Usually they expect me to play the champ I picked, so it's fine. When they expect something else, though, and get loud about it, it's a pretty big problem.

Doesn't matter. You have 3 other teammates on your team you are obligated to try to win with. Even if you don't like 1 single person, you have no right to throw the game for other people. Committing petty and selfish revenge doesn't make you any better either.

I mean, I'm not gonna directly troll if you flame me, but...yeah, I'm taking that farm. And that buff. And no, I'm not gonna try to leave kills for you. I'm not gonna try to save you if it's risky. I won't follow your calls. I'll play more selfishly, less aggressively, and less around you.

And yeah, it's true, in theory I'm playing less to win and more to have fun. But you lost your chance for me to help you carry, now I'm trying to carry even though that's not my strength.

It's not trolling, and it's not quite tilting, I've just decided to put less effort into helping the team and more into having the most personal success I can. If you wanted me to be generous with farm, you should have spewed racial slurs at me when I held the wave at your tower after your laner solo-killed you. Sorry you're an idiot that doesn't understand how the game works.

I don't think that they wonder about this at all. I think they either don't care or they suppress this knowledge because they can't be the ones who are wrong. It is the same reason why you sometimes see people rage at teammates after they fuck up an even fight that the teammate didn't even participate in.

Your team is consisted of 5 members.You might want to punish that 1 guy but the other 3 are not at fault.By punishing your whole team,you'll be risking for a ban for assisting the enemy.

P.s. If you don't care about your rank then quit ranked games.

I casually just do minor mistakes cause it's funny when they spam ping. Like one time I as support with relic shield took 1 cs without the passive up and our fed adc told me to hang myself so I wasted my ult and flash as they spammed ??????? Omg best feeling ever

Happens all the time..I hate it. Last case for me was a Yasuo top that was struggling but was going to outscale late game and we weren't doing poorly on the rest of the map so that was likely.

Our Eve JG and mid were clearly a duo, and they just picked on the guy like children with one insult after another, repeating themselves over and over. I've seen it happen enough times to know that there was a significant probability we won that game if they just said nothing at all. They contributed FAR more to our loss because it tilted the guy to no end and he split push to his death again and again, and they also tilted the 2 of us which were playing well. Ridiculous...
