I am confused, they are allowed to but I am not? [zombie-brand-mindblown] no, I don't want to hear that "just report them or mute them" reply. I got told this for trying to ff again and again since it was 4v5 most of the game. I was 6/7 and had the most cs in game/second most gold on my team. I didn't say one thing the entire game. This "reformed" thing is way to hard.

hell, I think even if I never afk, fed or flamed EVER again on a new account I would get banned because of people like this, yesterday I got false reported 3 times, 2 for playing kalista basically, and one game w/ twitch because I sucked.

I don't get topics like this. Especially wth the first question you propose. If anyone reads the ToS/summoner code you would know that what they are doing isn't allowed. Unless you can show me evidence that they are allowed to flame you cannot assume that because they do that it's allowed. That makes no sense.

But to answer your question (as everyone has said in this topic) you can't afk because that's against the rules. That moment you hit play and choose the mode you play you are making a commitment that you will finish the game. Of course there are some people who don't care for the rules,or think they can get away with it.but then if that happens it's our job to make sure we report them. Some people don't use that because they believe it doesn't help,when they are basically the reasons why these people aren't punish.

Riot doesn't have some magical power to know when very single person is breaking the rules.this is why we have the report option, as well as why we had the Tribunal. To help with making the community better. But then if you leave the game you basically cannot report te people in our game thus they are basically getting a free pass because you aren't doing your job. Whereas the leavebuster system can detect you leaving because you did. The fact of the matter is that we need you to do your part.

because you're stooping to their level. just mute them even if you're so tired of hearing that and then try your best to win until 20 then ff at 20 if it feels hopeless.

You are judged by YOUR own behavior, Doesn't matter if they triggered you or flamed you cause at the end of the day you are responsible for your own actions.

Doesn't matter if it was self defense, you lead by example, and showing negative and unsportsmanlike behaviors is your doing, not theirs.

IF you don;t want to be reported, you basically had to have stayed under the radar in RIOT terms.

No swearing or spamming in chat No racial slurs no inciting a report no intentional feeding no leaving or disconnecting no afk no revealing allied locations to the enemy team

win or lose, even if they reported you, they would have no grounds for anything.

You are judged by your actions, not by how many of your peers reported you.

but yeah, end of the day, its much easier to ""just report them or mute them"

Because two wrongs don't make a right. This is GRADE SCHOOL LEVEL manners here. Mute them, report them... that's it. It's over.

Barring the event where you are stuck with a 4 man premade that is ALL flaming you and being toxic, you're still ruining the game for at least one person on your team aside from yourself. Also, you're letting them self-justify their bullshit. "Oh look, the random fed. Oh, he's trolling. OF course! We always get trolls."

Just take teh high road.

Then just git gud and don't feed.

Because we don't have a high court to establish the kind of causal chain you want to point out for cases like this.

No, they're not "allowed" to flame you. Report them.
Mute them. It's still the right thing to do regardless of if you don't want to hear it.
False reports get thrown out. You'll get a pop-up telling you you've been reported if you've been getting reported a lot lately, but that's not an indication of the reports counting against you.

Just report and mute them.

Why are you assuming that they wont be held accountable for their behavior? You're walking proof that chat behavior can easily get you banned.

Maybe because we all have the potential to be mature individuals?

Because automated system are in place. They don't use any context.

Because they can't stop you from feeding but you can stop them from flaming with the mute option

False reports mean nothing if you're not at fault. Playing a champion, it doesn't matter which it is or where you do it as long as your trying to win with it, is not an offense. Doing badly in a match is also not an offense.

I know you might be tired of hearing it, but.. Ignore/Mute those types of players. THEY are the one at fault and should be reported accordingly, because not only did they threaten you with a report, they were directly insulting you during it. Threatening to report someone falls under verbal abuse. Calling someone 'garbage' falls under verbal abuse.

Edit: I guess i forgot to answer the title question. AFKing and feeding makes no progress in diffusing a toxic situation. It can only make it worse for everyone involved.
