guide to not tilting your own teammates.

Often times. people fail to realize how their actions "or lack thereof" can be agonozingly frustrating to their teammates. here are some tips to minimize tilt on your team

  • if someone is already struggling or tilted, and very obviously asking for help. do your best to help them recover. if you can't . dont make the situation worse by flaming/mocking/telling them to stfu.. and try not to flat out ignore them either. just say something simple like "sorry, i can't help you"

  • if you havent muted all. respond if typed to, keep it short. but let people know you're listening. the only exception would be if you're chat banned. in which case you should save your chat for dragons and barons only. but tell people in pregame lobby you're chat restricted that way at least people know. being ignored can be a source of tilt.

  • dont mention people's KDA. having a poor score doesnt make someone "bad" and it certainly doesnt give you the right to treat them like a leper for the duration of the game. particularly if they have been asking for help.

  • try not to make yourself unintentionally look like a troll ignoring advice while feeding, watching people die, afk farming, are all ways you may be doing this. among others

  • don't mention the word "report" unless it's in a last resort attempt to get someone to stop flaming, and even then. only do it once. as spamming it will only cause frustration and may get you banned.

"example

Player A is typing nonstop and flaming,

Player B. "player A. please stop typing, you're becoming a distraction

Player A. "fuck you"

player B. "last warning. stop typing in chat or im reporting you "

if player A doesnt stop after this. mute them and then report. and DO NOT SPAM

Calling for or threatening reports is considered trolling, and if he reports you, you will be smacked for it. Better to just mute them after the "fuck you" and report after the game.

only if spammed or done in a harassing manner. riot has said that the scenario mentioned isnt considered harassment.

Are you sure? I would have sworn I read that demanding reports is reportable.

Using some logic here, if person A is having a bad game and feeding, and person B ask enemy to report for feed, then not harassment. But person B says to report A every two minutes, then it is. I think its the amount of times that matters, not what's said. Plus, most of the time, people do go over things flagged by automatic system (or so i like to believe). and those people have common sense. They will probably not ban you for saying "I will report you if you dont stop flaming me"

there was a whole post by NAkayle that asking for reports or saying you will report someone in and of itself isnt punishable. it caused quite a bit of controversy as it contradicted everything riot said in the past. its when people spam it or use it in conjuntion with other forms of harassment when it becomes punishable

That point is understandable, but if riot is conflicted about it then its better to be safe then sorry. Depending on which Rioter you talk to, it could give you a different result.

In the terms of use, it basically says that riot can discipline us for any reason that they deem justifiable and breaks the terms of use. Their justifications can sometimes be regardless of the situation.

The way you mention it may seem a good way to tell a person to calm down. However, another player could mistake it as passive aggression/harassment/antagonism. Honestly, the line does get skewed and it can change depending on whose reviewing the case and what they believe.

I would say the term "use at your own risk" fits here.

If your toxicity is very low, then nothing may happen to you for doing it in this fashion as it may only generate a "low toxicity" mark.

However, if you are on the brink of a permanent ban I would say: do not threaten to report other players, like at all.
