Toxicity in Chat

LegacyDAP·3/25/2016, 1:47:27 AM·2 votes·733 views

I am toxic, I won't even lie. However, I have changed quite recently with my behavior and haven't been reported in quite a bit from what I know of. So I like to think I'm doing better as a part of this community, and will continue to make my best effort with not being toxic.

Now that being said I want to get to the real beef of my situation. I'm quite tired of people being able to bait you into being the most toxic person even and get away with it. I'm absolutely tired of it because I'm positive my reports and stuff from the last month have been from stuff that was exactly like this, and I'm not saying I don't deserve the reports, because trust me I know better than anybody that I do. However, I'm absolutely tired of people being able to bait you into a report trap and that itself isn't considered toxic.

I really would love to know where we draw the line on giving a chat restriction? Is it just being flat out toxic and cussing at people, or does it come from multiple reports of minor stuff over time? Do we not chat restrict people who harass others in-game, but not to the point where it's not toxic enough to get chat-restricted currently?

Because to be honest I'm absolutely done with people calling me, team mates, enemies etc. "bad" or "garbage" or "bronze" and then going on a rant on how I should be a different rank or that I should play a different game. Because according to Riot (from what I've seen) this doesn't deserve a chat restriction, and the worst part is the person is practically asking to get called out or raged at and purposely provoking others so it happens, but they can just report you and get away with being toxic, because it isn't toxic enough. I honestly think this deserves some sort of chat restriction.

Call my opinion unpopular or down vote if you want. I honestly just needed to get this off my chest, because I'm absolutely tired of not the toxic people, but the people who cause others to become toxic when it comes to in-game chat messages and not getting a restriction themselves.

EDIT: Deleted in Gameplay because it has nothing to do with Gameplay.

I'd say if this community is driving you to the point where you can't hold your frustration and anger back anymore cuz that's just how bad we are, find a different game. Life is too short for you to waste your precious time here.

Just mute them. Problem solved. If you can't do this, well you deserve the reports because you're letting them bait you.

Report them for unsportsmanlike conduct, which you can, and ignore them. If you don't talk to them, they won't continue to target you.

Riot says let them spit on you because "mute" button.

It's pretty much the same thing as playing any sports game with a team of 5 players and plugging in head phones while one or more people insult you overtly to the point where you could probably file a restraining order against that person.

I say screw the mute button sometimes, I'm not co-operating with this person AT all. Make me.
