There is a difference between being bad and being put down.

Honestly a lot of times people on the boards and ecspecially people ingames complain and report feeding of others, but a lot of times i notice those Things came based on pure misconsception of what happened. A Bad kda doesn't necessarily mean that Person is feeding. Some people just had bad days, others are victims of stupid egocentric kids who have fun making someone the bad guy. I often see people getting camped for the sheer reason to receive a badmannering provocation from that camper afterwards. AND To top it off, that Person Needs to hear your tilting complains about feeding?

People should learn the difference between bad Players and victims of badmannering. it's a reason why a lot of times you on the boards also see people who in their chat logs have a mention of telling someone to stop feeding then proclaim that as "Constructive criticism". No, it is not criticism to say "Stop feeding" It would be constructive criticism to say HOW to stop feeding, regardless if it is their fault or not. not every 0/10 did that by himself. some enemy teams are just that much of an asshole compilation to camp someone into the ground and even happily lose the game just as long as they get to express their somewhat sick 12 year old egocentrism.

long story short, dont judge if someone has a bad kda beforehand, try to help first, and dont be too hard on These people. they often already got it hard enough as it is already with trying not to tilt, and possibly being in a bad mood from whatever life threw at them.

i feel like it is a massive issue with how fast people judge and how often that judgement leads to reporting as the executive step to do.

Yeah, people just like to cast blame. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you are bad at a video game, but you should be ashamed if you lash out at others to deal with your own insecurity. Besides, blame indicates a lack of teamwork which is a HUGE part of League and thus the blamer is demonstrating they are bad at the game. I always feel more embarrassed for the blamer because they are just putting themselves down.

7 out of 10 times, people do not attempt to find the 1st domino in the chain of events that unfold. They hinge their beliefs and understanding on a number counter called scores.

Also, its highly likely that those who point fingers at their own teammates and badmanner them are also never going to admit to facing well played enemy teams because they have difficulty comprehending their own skill level.

In other words, usually the bad ones call others "ass" which makes them actually worse off because they don't focus on learning anything meaningful.

A person who believes she already knows everything can learn nothing or be taught anything.

This is one reason why I've been trying so hard to climb out of Bronze Elo just to make it to Gold, but to no avail.

Then due to self-negative toxic behavior, I get banned by the time of typing this.

Misconception? I'm sure it's just the majority of those who roast bronze players having a field day telling them to "stop blaming your teammates, shut up, stop making excuses and go kys".

It's so easy to judge low elo for this way more than higher up the ladder, even if everyone makes mistakes. It's within the culture to shit talk all over bronzies like me.

Can I say. I report people who blame others, and yeah, I get the message like 6 hours later. "Someone has been instant feedbacked" This is a team game, but you can only control yourself. No offense to anyone, but stop being fucking assholes.

People think constructive criticism means you think you are a pro player and you are talking down to them....Try telling a feeder to be more passive, or to not push out so far or over extend and they take as harsh as possible.

On the flip side, can you say it more nicely? Seriously, just throwing in a ":)" or changing the wording to be slightly more encouraging makes a world of difference. It's all about tone, and over text, that's communicated through wording.

Remember that when someone's behind, they're probably tilted, and are going to be predisposed to see anything - especially criticism - as super-negative. On top of that, remember what game this is and the reputation its community has. Chances are better than not that someone criticizing you really is flaming you! So yeah, just trying saying things in a super-positive way, and in a way such that it's abundantly clear that you're on their side and only want to help them, not attack them.

If you are in bronze silver or gold chances are that you are not /mute all at the start of the game.

This type of guys are kids with his premade (to get carried to D5) and togheter are 0/10/0 and when all lane are loosing and enemy team have an advantage of +15k gold at 12 minutes and the kills are 3/23 they don't want to surrender at 15 minutes ect... they keep playing and say in the chat 'we can win' (sarcasm) and you answer 'yes we can' with a bad word to this guys to actually describe what they they are... They will continue playing in the backline and press R to get some assists and finish with a normal kda, just for making you the bad guy like you said, then they write in /all chat : report you for int assisted with his premade, its already done you play a weak champ who get killed less than 1 sec and your score is 0/10/1 and that how you get permanent ban.

I had one of my worst games 10 games ago. If you look at my match history, I do tend to lose more often then I win, but my kda is usally alright to average with the occasional really good. Yet me and the Velkoz got called "trash bot lane" by the jungler playing Zac. Yeah we blew it hard but it was also a case of a really good Rakan support. I made some bad mistakes staying in fights longer than I should and overextending. Did we really deserve to be shit on for that? I don't think so.

The community absolutely ruins this game. I have been in and out since 2013, and each time that I have stopped has been because of the community. I save up some money, buy a new character, and attempt to play it. I obviously suck at that character, and just end up flamed into the ground. I try to do my due diligence reading guides etc, but I will not get better without actually playing that character. I can't even finish my placement ranked matches, because I get so discouraged trying to play. I know I suck, and I need to play to get better, but if I'm verbally destroyed every match, I will just give up trying.

It doesn't matter if your logic is right, the "popular" word for bad kda is "inting" or "feeder" and you're not gonna stop the player base from being dicks about it. I've had plenty of losses where a player or players flames the hell out of the person with the worst KDA regardless of what happened. They then start demanding reports for inting and berate the shit out of you. They have personal problems or they are straight up bratty tweens lol Until you have a zero tolerance policy for trolls and a system that says "hey, you made a bad report, you were wrong, stop it" I don't see it changing.
