"toxic" n. Someone who says anything you don't like, uses logic to refute you, or otherwise holds you accountable for your play

Bro it doesn't even matter if im garbage, waste everyones time by playing mid teemo, building 6 tears and going 0-20, ur toxic, reported.

...You tell that guy who keeps running down a lane alone to stop doing it, toxic. Tell the guy who just messed up his skill order how to properly gank, toxic. "group", holy crap you toxic pos why you so toxic.

This community is the most soft skinned echo chamber of victimhood that exists to the point where its about as terrible as feminism...except its on the internet, where in real life no one takes feminist serious It's impossible for me to have any sort of quality ranked game because of it.I think the most fantastic thing is the amount of times ive been reported while being cussed out or having someone intentionally feed while they exclaim about how im going to get banned. Great job rito.

Toxic doesn't imply the reason for saying something, but how it is said. There are ways of saying the same thing without being toxic.

"Hey, dumbass, stop feeding the jungler. You've died 3 times because you're too stupid to ward"

"Perhaps you should ward so you can see the jungler coming. Also try to play a bit safer, please. We can still win this"

One of these is a lot nicer than the other. One promotes more positive feeling than the other. One is toxic, the other isn't.

I consider myself mildly toxic. I sometimes get pissed off and write something I regret in chat. Never anything like some of the things I see in chat logs every once in a while "KYS, hope you get cancer" etc. I've never been banned or warned on toxicity, and I've been playing since S3. Trust me the people who are getting banned/chat restricted are the ones that deserve it. If you're toxic to the point you make multiple people spend the 20+s to file a report you deserve to get your punishment.

It's important to realize someone else is on the other side of that champion. The don't want to be yelled out for 20 minutes. They don't want to be cussed at. They don't want to be torn apart insult by insult. Would you like it if someone spent 20 minutes just blaming you for every mistake on the map? Telling you to uninstall after you're already pissed off the game is going poorly? All you're doing by being toxic is pissing that player off even more.
