i hate flamers

Makoodzaka·Sep 25, 2018·6 votes·4,101 views

When somebody talks trash to me or makes crass uncalled remarks about how I am playing my instinct is to respond swiftly and brutally - to escalate hard bringing a nuke to a knife fight just so the instigator knows who he's dealing with.

However, this sort of attitude doesn't work out too well since I am the bad guy all of a sudden for exercising what I like to call verbal self-defense and it's me who gets ban-hammered for fighting back against the bullies.

I actually wouldn't mind flamers at all if I was permitted to verbally rape them like I would under normal circumstances but seeing as this option is taken away from me I really really grow to despise them. I view them as entrappers - evil creatures who exist just to annoy me while trying to provoke a response out of me knowing full well that if I snap I am the one who will be punished as opposed to them.

These animals are beyond pity and I get so tilted when I encounter one of them I can't help but feel joy when I lose because no despicable fiend such as them deserves a win. If I go down in flames so that justice can be served so be it - it is a noble sacrifice.

What I want to know is when did riot developers become monastic ascets to place such lofty expectations on the players of their game? It's really quite a feat worthy of any religious celibate and, I must admit, does boost my ego a bit. Through hatred my will is made iron.

Thanks riot, I guess.

As one of the three other players on your team, I dislike both of you. People with no impulse control should not play games which force them to interact with people.

It's self-defense.

The defense against an attack is when you nullify it. Which is the mute button.

A Counter attack is still an attack.

Good on paper but when put to the test this little theory falls flat on its face. Unless you preemptively mute all your team you have to expose yourself to the ghouls, of which I may add there are on average 2 per game, for at least one of their shameless attempts to destroy your account. This evil influence builds up as there is no escaping it from game to game to game.

Although back in the day when I was still learning the ways of channeling my hate I was forced to mute everyone because there was no stopping me if one of those subbies decided to play smart with me.

If you have no tolerance for any trash talk or flaming in league i would recommend either doing exactly that and preemptively muting people or just leave the game because i doubt that the toxicity in this game will ever die although i would like to add that toxicity has gone down in recent times and i see few flamers nowadays

Then you shouldn't be playing a competitive online game if you can't handle chat...

Are you really ignoring the fact that riot bans you for flaming? You can't be that dull...

What do you mean self defense, cant you just mute em and be done with em, when you flame someone regardless of if its "self-defense" you are still flaming them lol. I don't see why you needed to clarify that its self defense lol, i could very well see that but that doesn't change a thing, i was simply pointing out that you became what you hated in the first place

Why not look at it the other way, where they are the ones entrapped and will be punished by the system when they flame?

So chuckle at their silliness in attempts to get their own account punished.

That's utterly meaningless as it has 0 impact on my experience of the game. They can get into a car wreck and die the next day for all I care it won't take away the malice they force upon me in-game thanks to the combination of their brash loose lips and riot's hyperaggresive chat crackdowns.

If you mute/ignore flamers then they won't do shit to your game experience
