The Community who cried "Troll/Inting"

Someone referred to it best as people "crying wolf" over "trolling" and "Inting" and guess what, Now you get what you deserve. I am sick of Everything being labeled as a "Troll" or "inter" This community takes EVERYTHING and drops it as one or the other. You cant have a bad game, you are inting you cant be new or unfamiliar with a champ, you are trolling AND/OR inting You cant have your own strategies, play style, or different way of using champs, you are trolling.

Well I am FUCKING SICK OF HEARING IT. Everything is "report the troll" or "our X Inting" Had an enemy blitzcrank who got combo'ed by support (me), adc, and jungle. As soon as he died, his adc sivir comes on and starts calling for reports on "Blitzcrank is trolling/inting" Its gotten so bad that you dont even have to die to be labeled an inter (I have been labeled inting by standing still...or having a 0/0/0 kda)

so guess what. You call for report on someone for "Trolling" or "inting", YOU get reported. And I will make sure it is detailed that you are creating a negative atmosphere and trying to dogpile the team against one person. Because that is exactly what you are doing YOU dont like how they build they dont play to YOUR standard they dont play at YOUR skill level or you have a personal grudge against them and want strikeback. So you labele them a troll to try and turn every other player on the team against them. I had a previous match where my team did that to me for playing Soraka top lane, spending the entire game going on about how I was trolling. No ganks, no help (though jungle did come in to steal a few minion waves from under me) and they spend the entire game degrading and demeaning, labelling me a "Troll" for going soraka top,and spamming to call for reports in /all chat.

So yeah, I WILL report anyone who says "report X for trolling/inting" INSTEAD of the one you claim is inting. And it doesnt matter if they ARE inting. This is what happens when you cry wolf and water things down to encompass EVERY MINOR LITTLE THING. Oh dear, someone took an item or has a build you personally dont approve of. Who cares if they have thier own strategy, BAN THEM FOR TROLLING.

Someone got ambushed and couldnt get away, tied down by CC and passed around like a town bicycle (everyone gets a ride).... Better permaban them for inting, right? Not possible they just goofed or maybe dont know how a champ works, Nah its better if you turn the whole team against them so you can pat yourself on the back and tell yourself you did a good job getting rid of the evil "Trolls" and "intentional feeders" (even that disgusting new player who doesnt know how ashe's abilities work or how to maneuever well"

This is why the community is losing players, this is why this community is repeatedly rated #1 most toxic community. Everyone thinks so highly of themselves, sees themselves as above thier teammates, and goes out of thier way to look for any reason to get that high from "Enjoy ur permaban" (Really sick and tired of hearing that worn out line)

This community loses players because they cant pull thier head out of thier ass and stop acting like "ur shit dont stink" All I see are people looking down thier noses at thier "trash teams" and looking for ANY reason to report someone for 'Trolling" or "Inting"....No matter how fucking thin you have to stretch it to make it stick.

TL:DR: You call for reports on players for "Trolling" or "Inting" and wanna cry wolf. I am reporting YOU, Not your target. IDGAF if they actually were inting, actually were trolling. You wanna cry wolf, you made your bed. Now lay in it.

We have a word for those people, we diagnose them as idiots and then ignore them, then after the game is over we tend to forget. Life goes on.

Spot on. One mistake can get you flamed by the rest of your team. They'll say you suck, shouldn't play that champ, don't deserve that cool skin, etc. With all that typing, you would think a quick lesson could be thrown in. But some of the community would rather get angry than work together. Guys and gals, we aren't pro and we aren't perfect. We all want to improve. Help a teammate out. They'll learn something, maybe you'll learn something too. Or at least feel like you did the right thing and helped a player. What do we need to do in order to make this community less toxic and more receptive and helpful? Its not just a few bad apples. It can be your entire team. Make it more fun for everyone and help a friend out.

I mostly play normal, unranked games. Having a bad game or an bitter team sucks. My forays into the swamp that is ranked have been even worse.

Just be nice! It's way more fun for everyone and your garbage team might just learn something from you. Why be a jerk? Constructive feedback. Try it. Everyone. Please.

I have to say, the community sometimes does go into "OMG UR FLAMING!!!!" mode when you tell someone not to do AFK or not to use your ult on minions only. (These are two examples from tonight where someone accused me of flaming someone when I said 'Is yorick AFK? he's just standing there not doing anything but always leaves the fountain' and 'yorick, can you use your ult in team fights and not to just clear minions?'). However, any rational person would know that a lot of things people do call "trolling" or "flaming" isn't actually trolling or flaming.

In my experience and observing behavior, the actual toxic players are the ones who cry troll/inting/flaming more often than the non toxic players.

They're the ones who are trying to bully you into not reporting them and trying to make you feel like you're doing something wrong. People have told me they're reporting me and what not for god knows how many games for years and I'm honor level 4 atm on my way to 5. Don't fall for the toxic bait. Disengage with them because they're going to get what's coming to them when you report them.

Remember that if you did nothing wrong, you will not get punished even if you are reported. People need to just keep doing what they're doing and report behavior you believe is toxic. That's really all you need to do.

There's no point in arguing with a person who calls you toxic or says you're flaming. If you flamed, you're going to get punished if they report you. If you trolled and you get reported, you'll be punished. If you didn't flame or didn't troll, you aren't going to be punished.
