Sob Story (Like foreal, it's a Novel of sadness)

Hello Boards,

   This is a typical, redundant sob story about trolling on league. I am a reformed "Toxic" player. I've learned that it's truly better to not flip out on trolls in game, but the consequence of not venting in some form will be me relapsing into rage fits in game, and tilting everyone around me. 

 Here's what Happened ![item 3070](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/item/3070.png) :

 It started in champion select, Heimer top was picked which automatically raised some suspicions about the intention of my top laner. Instead of saying "WTF IS THAT PICK". I suggested we mold our champ selects to accommodate. I figure heier will get camped so we need our mid laner to have either high mobility or good sustain in lane (good escape etc).

The Troll Top immediately dove on me.. saying I had "adhd", basically Calling me out for trying to motivate our team to build around his silly pick. I Should have known to dodge right then and there, but I wasn't convinced he was a troll, just assuming he gets crap for that pick a lot.

The game starts:

Had a magical start as sivir. A nocturn Dove Thresh and I when we were over extended and we managed somehow (Thresh was a god) To secure 3 kills on the Ganker the Support and the ADC..

Moments later I hear Ally slane and the chat box blowing up.. I look... Heimer had just died as a result of a mid gank (which was pinged MIA) and began flaming our leblanc for not chasing the mid to top.. She hadn't because she was struggling.. it was a wise choice for her to get the free cs and have Top assumingly play it safe under tower.. After all Heimer should be a zoning god..

The Troll Top then dies again to his top which has a cs lead on him.. And instead of saying "It's time to play safe" he rage quits.. For several minutes.. Resulting in a snowballed Top laner..

The troll heimer comes back (probably to avoid a leaverbuster.. Trolls are very good at walking the line on penalties.

After feeding more, raging more, trolling more I had had enough and told him. "You get Your crap together, or I'm reporting for unsportsmanlike". The troll swiftly responds with the cliche .. "IDC" and "Reporting does nothing, do you actually think I will get punished for this"?

In my mind I know the answer is .. No, Nothing will get done about this, and it wouldn't.. Until now..

I AM going to do something about it.. I have decided that for every time A troll trolls me. I WILL TAKE their PUNISHMENT for them..

If Riot doesn't want to, or can't find a way to punish these people, and the community isn't responsible enough to use the report feature in an honest way.. Then why should I bother contributing my positive attitude to the cesspool that is league community?

We need Moderators, elected or hired who can review complaints on the fly. I would do it in my spare time.. in between games etc FOR FREE.

This game is so outrageously frustrating, or rather the people who play it are, and it actually makes me not want to play games anymore. I am a type of person who "Lives to Game". I'm not afraid to admit that either, because I know there are other people who feel the same way about Gaming as I do.

No.. it isn't just a game. It's apart of who I am as a person. People logging on everyday just to ruin games, because they think it's funny. Are actually coming on and ruining my life, and my happiness.

On a happier note:

I climbed from B5 to B1 in 2 days! Feel like I should be able to make it to gold too!

I like the idea of a little vigilante justice, except these types of people usually have dozens of accounts and if one gets banned, they troll on another and it has a vicious little cycle.

The only way to fully put an end to it and definitely stop smurfing in ranked (nobody in plat should be fighting bronze or silver players so their buddy can get a nicer looking border) is to use a method of hardware detection that cannot be hidden, and frankly if league is able to implement this they can get confirmation on thousands of suspected multi-account trolls, ranked smurfs abusing the system, and so many other things right now we can't do anything about because they are too busy worrying about the next "learn 2 pro" announcement or which pro to glorify in one of their "mini-series" events.

With that said, I think it would be a good idea to have moderators and I'd do it for free too. I'm sick of those people getting away with it time after time, but if I say a word I'll get punished and they get to laugh and pull off the same routine the next game with no punishment.

Then again, with HOW MUCH toxicity there is on League, I have my suspicions they are holding back. As to why, probably to pad the member count and active account numbers but perhaps there is more to it.

P.S: Heim is mostly a mid but he is excellent top too. It really depends who you lane against, as some top champs can take out Heim early game without a jungler helping.

I thoroughly agree with this post. I'm happy that you admitted to being a former toxic. It made it easier to understand your viewpoint :)

As a noob/pleb/whatever... I am not that great.... but i'm learning. People like this who do stuff like this, make it hard to want to continue to enjoy the game... hence, kinda wanna leave again.

I agree... there should be some kind of mod in place... reporting barely does anything, sadly. To make matters worse, toxic people don't care. THAT is the biggest issue... people not caring about the game experience... and understanding that while, yes, it is a game... some people live this stuff. (I don't personally, but i don't go throwing matches on purpose).
