People harrassing me

Zerak·Jul 6, 2016·1 votes·809 views

So basically I play only veigar and its worked well for me just got to diamond but I main mid with top secondary and every 10 games or so I get top and people rage and harass me nonstop when I puck veigar top. Then god forbid I don't own my lane it really gets bad. And when I respond to these guys I end up getting banned because it looks like im talking allot but im responding to like 3 different people harrassing me. My question is how do you guys ignore this kind of stuff? I tried muting everyone but I seem to lose more when I do because I cant tell what they are planning to do etc. Any advice?

The system is blatantly busted. People always say "ooh mute your teammates then" but what they fail to release that it's a team game, if you mute a player, you're failing them as a teammate just as much as they are you. You won't be able to see timers they'll put, or work properly as a team because of this. So i don't quite understand why people are punished for trying to solve the conflict rather just let it go on. I'd rather have a heated argument and win a game, then mute them and let them make the same mistakes that further on make us lose.

I main Draven, and every game i ever play and will play i'm considered a "tyler1 wannabe or fan boy" it's pretty annoying. People literally harass me and taunt me for no reason other then because somebody more knownly toxic plays a champion that you're playing now. It's sickenly disgusting that i have to deal with it, and i'm not kidding. Every person that players or mains draven deals with this shit. Like do i have to start a "Draven Lives Matter" or something? Because it seems that way, getting almost abused and free losses for simply playing a champion of my liking.

I tied veigar support several times and its decent but most of the time your add doesn't k own how to play with a veigar support and if they die while being over aggresive while ur stun is on CD they rage and blame it on veigar support. Then the mob mentality kicks in and everyone joins the bandwagon. Its just as bad as veigar top. Plus with support secondary I will never get mid. Only support 90 percent of time.

The worst part is I have never even been chat banned before. But I've got 14 day ban b4 for just responding to people harrassing me. Which makes no sense. How can you get banned without ever even ha ING been chat banned? If you do that to 1 person you have to do it to all or its unfair practice. Plus how can you get banned for reapondong in the first place. By continually initiating conversation with you they are consenting to hear your feedback otherwise they wouldn't speak to you in the first place. I understand we are trying to achieve a G rated atmosphere here but riot isn't there to ban the victims of bullying when they lash back in real life a why shield them from the recourse of their actions online. One day they will take that mentality into real life and bully someone then get punched in the face and when they yell for riot to bail them out they wont be there.

Pings are good but not enough. Say your top and your team is talking about how they are gonna group and siege bot turret and your tp isn't up. Even if you have perfect ma awareness by the time you see them grouping and heading bot you would have to travel across map to get there and there is no way you will make it I. Time. If enemy top has his tp up you just lost the game for your team because you muted them. This is just 1 example but you can see my point here. Dont say its their fault for seigeing while your top with no tp either this is solo queue we are talking about. Its your job to carry and play under the assumptions your teammates will always make bad plays. If you play under the assumption your team will carry you you will never climb.

But what are the chances this happens every time you mute someone. Also you can still communicate with your teammates even when you mute them it just mutes what you see not them getting your chat. So you can still make plays, chat and use pings again this is the whole reason why we have pings, yes they are perfect but they do help when you mute people.

Unfortunetly situations like that happen more times then you would think. If you factor in the fact that the average person climbing the ladder steadily only has a 55 percent win rate the few losses you incur because of lack of communication puts you around 52 or even 50 percent which is a drastic decrease in your chances to climb. This should not be the only alternate.
