Trying (And Failing) To Stay Positive In League

rushpaw·8/30/2016, 6:22:46 PM·1 votes·394 views

Hello everyone!

League of Legends is probably the game I play the most, and I absolutely love it, but I have difficulty staying positive, and enjoying actually queuing up for games because of how much hate and toxicity I get when I actually play, and it's kinda ruining the game for me. Basically every other game I play, I get told I'm trash, or a shit player, and things along this line (even if I /mute all, I still get it in post-game chat).

I've put a lot of time into this game, and I really want to put even more into it, but when so many of my games put me up with a toxic premade, or someone who rages and tells people to report me because I have a bad game or something, basically just drains the fun out of the game for me. Every time I report someone, I feel like nothing comes from it, and that makes me feel even more useless.

Is there any way I can get around these problems? Or am I just too sensitive or something? I wanna know how this all sounds from another person's perspective, or what thoughts others have about this.

Thanks for your time <3 [slayer-jinx-catface]

If you play ranks, ignore them.

If you play normals, play more with friends. I rarely get games in normals that I enjoy anymore. One game I had someone tell me "You're a trash adc, don't adc anymore" because I forgot to change my masteries and runes.

Next game, ran into the same person who was fighting me as an adc. Whooped their hip and had to reply back saying, "Lol, you shouldn't judge someone based on one game." Basically, it was a premade and they all ragged on me the previous game and I just so happened to carry the game playing against them.

But yeah, the only games I enjoy now is when I play with high ranking people who tend to kick my ass so hard it's like a wake up call. The enemy team's lee was so good the only thing I could do was laugh the entire game how hard he was rekting our whole team. I honored and gave him a gift after the game. There are still good people out there. :>

PS: One more thing, take everything online with a grain of salt. If you take things to heart you're bound to get offended. People just lash out when they're having a bad day and half the time most people don't really mean what they say, they just need a scapegoat (I said most)

PSS: And one more thing positivity is a virtue. Just keep at it. Everyone has their breaking points, just find a way to increase or negate yours.

PSS: And one more thing -- okay, at this point I'm just getting off. Upvotes for anyone who remembers (or knows) where I'm going with this. xD

Honestly? Just mute them if you think they're gonna get rowdy. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've sat through a toxic game in three years, mainly because I ignore people before it starts :P

Is there any way I can get around these problems?

Yeah sure there are and I'm no expert but start with don't listen to negative feedback, if that means shutting chat off then by all means do so.

But, you can just ignore the insults and try to learn from them...How I mean is I watch my roommate play and get nasty comments her way but she seldom reacts to it ! She is a decent level Diamond on one, and well, point is either take the criticism and use it or ignore it and practice on your weakness. GL

Media TM ..and OP

Just play and have fun! When someone is having a bad game usually they want to blame it on someone else...Either disable chat or take it as it is.....CHAT!

Not much more then someone getting upset because they didn't do as well as they thought they could!

Some of us try harder and some of blame others, don't worry about the ones who cast blame, most of those people have their own esteem and as hard as it is to deal with we all have to. Good Luck ... > rushpaw :) Find some friends who are nice and your level and play and learn with them :)

It doesn't matter if your sensitive, the game should be played with some pride and less bitching.

Don't get me wrong I can say the worst things in game........

BUT- I NEVER HIT ENTER !!

There is a difference in this, I also never ditch someone who is being an Ass in the game. We might win!

I AM sick and tired of immature people thinking they have anything more to give but harassment!!!!
