Are people justified to flame someone with a "BAD" KDA?

Here's a little video in which I discuss the importance of KDA and whether or not people are justified or not to critique a player based solely off their KDA. Feel free to take a look and let me know what your opinions are below :)

Are people justified to flame someone...

Nope. Not under any context. Don't flame other players. That's it. :)

Will probably take a look at the video anyway, but the answer is very straightforward. :P

For having a bad game, or being tilted off the face of the Earth having a 0/15/3 kda? No, that doesn't deserve flaming.

If someone is toxic in chat but still trying, just mute them but don't flame back.

But for those annoying players who intentionally throw or feed? As in running it down mid, flashing in place, using something like a Galio ult in base, etc? Yeah...I feel flaming them, even if all it accomplishes is venting some of your frustration, is justified in those cases.

Whether you should is a different matter. But it's definitely deserved.

Someone could buy 6 mobis running down mid while telling you to kill yourself, and any "flame" still wouldn't be viewed as justified by this board.

Nor should it. After all, that's just feeding the troll. Why would you give somebody actively ruining your game exactly what they want? Provoking a negative reaction from you, especially one that may get you punished, is EXACTLY the point of running it down mid with 6 boots.

Mute, report, move on with your life.

Critique? Fine, if it's constructive.

Flame? Never justified. Ever.

KDA isn't the only measure of success in league. I can be a 0/8/12 support and my adc is 10/0/6 w/ 80CS over the enemy by 20 mins and I'd still call it a success.

If you flame me for that and tell me to stop whatever I'm doing, I'd say you don't know what you are talking about.

I couldn't agree more. Not sure if you watched the video or not but I brought brought up about 15 other factors that are more important in the game than KDA.

Good video that addresses the point concisely and directly.

Uh, I don't really have anything else to add honestly other then agreement since KDA doesn't just make you win.

Case in point: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2508059251/227729416?tab=overview We ended 45 versus 29 but still lost since we wound up not doing a whole lot after team fights and they were able to take objectives pretty smartly we wound up losing despite being up in kills.
