This is the Game We are Playing

This is a rant. I'm sorry for whoever doesn't want to read this.

So I just got done with this match, and it was just terrible from the start. Even though we won. During champ select, I called support. I admit, I play it a lot, but I called it and got it. Instead, the person that called ADC said that someone else was Support. Looking up in the chat, I thought maybe I came late and didn't see the call. But the person came into the chat at the same time as me, and they didn't call anything. After that, the person just locks in Blitzcrank. And then calls ADC. The person that called ADC locks in Yasuo.

Now I was a little upset that I just got bullied out of my role, but being that I saw that the bot lane was now both melee, and most of the games in the recent past I have played have been laned against a Caitlin, I got even more upset. But I didn't say anything. I just locked in Lulu and kept my mouth shut. And already, the Blitz had something to say about how I was apparently playing someone that wasn't tanky enough and that we weren't going to be able to team fight. Whatever.

So when we went into loading, I saw that Yasuo and Blitz were going to be against Syndra and Draven. With a Syndra support, I thought maybe they weren't going to have to worry about much. But still, it was whatever. I got in the match, and I admit I opened my big mouth. I said "I can't believe that you guys bullied me out of my lane so that you can go double melee in bot lane just so you can get Yasuo a knock up.

The Blitz responded by asking me what rank I was. I said don't fucking worry about it. Worry about not messing up your lane. And then I said that Rank doesn't matter in this game. I admit, I am bronze. And the sad thing about Bronze is that the hardest part about getting out is getting a team of good bronze players that can lead you to win. If you don't win, whether you yourself were doing good or not, you don't get LP to get out of your rank. So really, if you are in bronze, for some people, it doesn't matter.

I should also say that I found out I was laning into a Riven. As Lulu.

So Blitz dies once at one point. And then I get a kill on Riven. Blitz says sorry for fucking up Lulu, but I just ignore him. I fight riven out of lane again, and again, but I'm not doing good in farm. Either way, I'm ahead of riven in kills so if I just hold tower I should be fine.

And then Riven comes into lane. At that point, Literally the EXACT POINT that Riven hits the lane, I hit 2000 ping and can't move. I literally just stand there as she kills me. Blitz was watching for that ONE TIME that I mess up so that he can go off on his BRONZE shit talk. But at this point the nidalee that was laning against our zed has died some 10 times. So our team is still good.

And then the Zed starts talking some rude shit to the Nidalee. And Blitz joins in. I mean horrible stuff. Mocking rank, talking about how bad the person was. Just being a complete asshole. So I say in chat "I don't understand why people are so rude in this game now. Like as a nidalee you die to Riven ONCE in lane cause of bad lag and you are apparently a complete NOOB." Syndra agrees with me on this one. Blitz just goes on talkign shit. I go mid lane and there are three kills that happen and we take two towers. So Yasuo takes the time to point out that my outer turret just dropped in lane. Saying that for that reason I'm a shit player. I mention that Riven has only gotten one kill on me so you have noting to say. Because honestly, for someone that has played top lane for a Whooping 3 or 4 pvp matches and doesn't normally solo lane, holding my own against one of the stronger top lanes and kinda bullying it around the lane is an accomplishment. He says Kills aren't as important as objectives. Which honestly, that is true for the most part. But once again. 1 death to Riven. Thats pretty important. And we had both towers down in mid and bot. We had this game in the bag. I think Nid had died 15 times by now?

So I said And you are gold. Once again proof that rank doesn't matter in this game.

Apparently that was worse than all the things that Yasuo, Blitzcrank, and Zed had said to the rest of the team. Because at the end of the match I got a notice saying that I had been reported for unsportsmanlike conduct. Are you fucking shitting me? These guys are going in all cat talking completely horridly to the other team, being completely toxic to their own team, and I get reported for defending myself?

Honestly riot. What is this bullshit?

Retaliation is not an acceptable reason to be toxic. They might be in the wrong for ignoring pick/call order or harassing you, but don't stoop down to their level. Mute them and report them; you can't get punished if you did nothing wrong, but getting into an argument can easily make you wrong.

Heizman12/10/2015, 10:44:36 PM3 votes

Reports are reviewed. Just because you got reported doesn't mean it does anything to you. I'm confused at how this is riots fault. Just report the idiots and move on

Welcome to modern society, where everyone has paper-thin skin, and saying one wrong word instantly makes you a bigot of some sort, and obviously you deserve to be punished.

I really miss the days when bullies got their asses handed to them, and then they stopped being bullies. But hey, again, welcome to modern society. Ain't it nice? ^^

Well ye, that's bronze, people will always be toxic, in one game more than another. It's commonly know bronze is the hotbed of hate and insults. Try to climb out of it. Not trying to brag, but at Gold/Plat you barely see any insults nor hate. Or maybe I'm just lucky, I don't know. If you wanna get out of it, follow these simple instructions:

  • Don't talk, only when absolutely necessary, like "I'm going to split top".
  • Accept people will talk trash to you, IGNORE IT, if you can't stand seeing what they say, just mute them, the chances of them saying anything related to the game is very small.
  • Try to take every mistake as your fault, even when you think it's not, sounds weird, but most of the time you could have prevented it.
  • Most important, don't let your emotions take the better of you!

Tantrum has already said that each infraction is reviewed. I'm going to take Riot at their word on that. To lie would be bad P.R. We all know that outsiders would call the company on it.

The OP needs to mute chat.

I take pride in being toxic as a jungler and support main in team builder. If somebody wants to act like an ass hole of course I'll make a smart comment and then mute them. What is Riot going to do? Put me through an automated system that can't stop people from acting like middle school bullies?

If Riot doesn't want to create a system to keep people in line, I will not stay in line myself. At least give me a voice chat so people can hear my satire and sarcastic voice.

Retaliation is making the problem worse. Sure they started but YOU continued it.

The system WILL punish you for defending yourself, because you're lending to the problem and your teammates have to deal with it.

How would you like it if someone was mid, and got mad at top for taking their role and feeding? Demoralized, yeah? Imagine that ONE person on your team who had to sit there and listen to you, and your other three TEAMMATES bitch and whine at each other?

COWmanLord12/10/2015, 11:32:45 PM2 votes

I am pretty sure you get a notice almost every time you get reported. Either way 1 faulty report wont get you punished if you don't normally do things to get yourself reported.

So I took time to read this and a couple things here:

1: You don't need to apologize to anyone for writing something, if they don't want to read it or accidentally read it, that's their problem but good gesture.

2: Rank does matter, and it's an extremely good indicator and some could even argue, the only indicator of how good you are in this game. Put me on any Bronze account ever, any one, Bronze 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and I will be out of Bronze in 1-2 days. That's a fact. The fact that this SINGULAR gold player was playing in Bronze MMR could be many reasons, either his attitude makes his lose a lot of games(in low elo this happens A LOT) or his play has fallen off

3: Avoid talking in low elo: This will save you a lot of grief, I honestly have zero idea what anyone even bothers judging eachother in low elo, I am 100% guarenteed you aren't doing everything correctly, focus on yourself, and not your teammates, do the correct play and ATTEMPT to work as a team. You brought it upon yourself by initiating the conversation and you should know better, especially with a duo(who are more proned to both be toxic)

4: In low elo, stop focusing on the little things, look at the big picture. Little things like oh I'm 400 gold ahead I think I can outplay someone is mostly for professional and very high elo players. You're better off focusing on big pictures like, let's burst the fed ADC or focus on objectives. Unless you are smurfing and can steamroll all players by yourself as Zed or LB(something i've done smurfing and I've won games 5v4 from the start going 24-0 because it's really that big of a difference in play)

5: All your proof has no substance whatsoever and would be logically destroyed by facts. Rank does matter, it always will. If you're stuck in Bronze I promise you no matter how much you feel your team is keeping you there it's not your team, ITS YOU. I can't stress this enough, as someone who started off being stuck in Bronze and with the same mentality, then went and made another acc and got it up to as high as Diamond 3 at one point. I went back to my Bronze acc and my MMR got so high they jumped it from Bronze 3 to Bronze 1 over 3 games. That's proof rank DOES matter.

I think you are overreacting. In fact, I think you are the main problem. If you get harassed or trolled, you are supposed to let them walk on you like a doormat. Do not reply, do not defend yourself, and always do what they say. After all, only certain players have the privilege of a fun and enjoyable experience. No bronze elo player should go unharassed, and no bronze elo has the right to speak at all.

(This is satire. I'm mocking the pathetic excuse of a system that Riot set up. Bronze elo is troll's paradise. I feel your pain)

I mute all every game now. Suggest you do the same. It spares you from tilting and a headache.

i feel like i just read your entire life story

JARmates12/11/2015, 2:42:34 AM1 votes

OP, why didn't you say your rank was Diamond? I never play rank in my life and I know I am a diamond player skill wise.

DRAGOON Burst12/11/2015, 6:32:09 AM1 votes

I really hate people like this and this is why the League community is one of the worst. Oh, and I don't know what was going with that 2000 ping jump of yours but you may have been sabotaged by your own teammates, like with them messing with your connection.

Transgressor12/11/2015, 12:35:52 PM1 votes

Use the mute button.
