"Report Alistar for Going Top"

Eat Rammus Soup·1/16/2018, 3:49:26 AM·19 votes·2,548 views
  • It was Draft Mode
  • I wanted to play Top Lane
  • Can't afford new Champions because you don't get rewarded enough Essence

Then

  • I get trolled all game
  • I get flamed by teammates and called a troll
  • Simple mistakes get blown out of proportion
  • My first death is GG
  • Troll teammates /all chat being buddy-buddy with enemies and asking to report me

After That

  • Enemy team jokes with my toxic teammates, and encourages their bad behavior
  • Told to uninstall
  • Everyone talking about reporting me (including enemies)

"Just report them"

  • That doesn't change the game I'm playing, I still have to endure crappy game after crappy game with a whole community of these players

"Just mute them"

  • I wish Muting a player stopped their gameplay from griefing you
  • Assistance pings and they run away to bait you into the enemies
  • Come to your lane and persist on taking your CS (then flame you for having low farm)
  • Come to your lane and int your lane opponent, then leaving you vulnerable when you try to help (then flame you for feeding)

I feel like "cancer" and "toxic" are great words. Because this behavior literally feeds itself. When I'm treated like this in game after game, I stop caring myself. I even feel spiteful toward players, and want to see them fail. I try to just chin-up and play the game, but it seems impossible to have a GG when this is the norm.

I just want to play the game and have some fun. Sure, losing sucks. But some of my most thrilling and exciting games have ended in a loss- and what made these games so fun was the cooperation and determination to play the game despite any mistakes being made.

I remember a game I had a while back where I played ADC and my support kept getting caught out. But my support was getting caught out because they were doing what they could to keep me alive. The game was an epic struggle, and we ended up losing, but it was a fun game because we were working together toward the same goal.

These days, you die once and there's always at least one player "/all GG". Already accepting defeat, and out of some strange sense of ego they go out of their way to make sure you do poorly so they can calculate the loss and try to pass it off as your fault.

I WANT to play this game. I also want to play a good game. And I really believe that's why you see all these people saying they're done with League, but log on the next day anyways. Hope. When you feel so strongly about something, you hope it can become better. Like that bad relationship with the person you love. You want them to change because you love them- but you always ask yourself: is it even worth it anymore?

Yeah I know how you feel, I stared playing this game about a month and a half ago and I feel like I have a decent grasp on the game. I have some difficulties but hey how else am I gonna learn. I had a game where our jungle did a good job...i complimented them and they gave me shit..like I am sorry is being nice to you a problem? Next game we get champ that isnt supposed to go mid (no one really game a damn) then this person pointed out everyones mistakes and called everyone retarded and said a bunch of other shit. Oh and I was behind in minions because I was having a hard time keeping the enemy top off of me. I don't play top too often so that made it really difficult (I was filling). Oh oh and the person that was at mid was really bashing our jungle as well.
Honestly every ranked game that I have tried except for one has had at least one toxic person. I think I will stick to casual because this isnt fun and the rewards arent worth the bs.

You were just a scapegoat in that game. Happens to all of us. Don't worry about or let it get to you. You'll improve overtime. Suggestion, next time just mute all who are flaming you. Play the game best you can. I wouldn't worry about them. Just be sure not to respond to them, that's when the table turns.

People will look for anything to complain about. Next time Lulu top. Now that's fun. (I am a Lulu main) [sg-lulu]

i remember going soraka top once and no one saying a word about it i won lane against teemo, poor thing though you could do anything against that healing and better wave clear than his

is amazing how many ppl get toxic about weird picks

Totally know how you feel. I just want to improve so that I can play better and be more useful to my team, but how do I do that without getting flamed for almost every game? After consecutive games of being flamed, you start to wonder why you’re doing this to yourself when a game is supposed to be fun. It’s only a normal blond/draft.

I like to play Leona top. Goes about as well as your Alistar game did. Even though I honestly don't like Leona or Alistar support, as an ADC main, and I think they'd be a lot better off top.

Just to put this into proportion, I haven't endured this kind of immature abuse since I was in Elementary school. I played one ranked game this morning just for that 300 XP and restarted my computer and fucking sobbed because of the shit they were saying to me. It's honestly just not worth it in any way, shape, or form. I have to grind levels just to get the BE I need to unlock one champ shard, when before I could just buy 3 random champ shards and reroll them for about a quarter of the time/cost as unlocking one new champion from a shard. I need all the XP I can get. Otherwise, I wouldn't give a shit about ranked.

mute them and play the game.

I feel for you man, I really do.

All of us have been there, hell that was me last night!

Everyone has bad games and people forget that, even the people that I was playing with started to say how trash this random player was because he died once.

Frothy White Goo1/17/2018, 6:28:47 AM2 votes

the problem is they're too busy trying to stop people from using mean words and actual trolls like this get to run free

NekoniClaws1/17/2018, 3:00:42 PM2 votes

Yep. Anything that doesn't match the top builds and top picks on op.gg gets called trolling.

What they did to you was above and beyond toxicity. Absolutely horrendous that people think that's OK.

I play on meta, and off meta, all the time. If you're good at the champion, that's enough. If you're bad at the champion, it's fine, you're learning.

literally me. everyone ive ever played with is the same, even in BOT AND ARAM. it makes no difference. i rather not play with that so i leave and get punished. ive uninstalled the game like 4 times and ive been playing for a month or 2, everyone gets to you and the forums arent even a safe haven for you to say how you feel. god forbid.

But... Alistar top is a thing. Not a popular thing, but still a thing. Certainly more common than my Soraka top. XD

Pika Fox1/16/2018, 6:32:15 PM2 votes

This is one of the reasons i want to see riot do more with the coop vs ai modes, and stop punishing players for playing AI with less exp. Ever since the honor change, ive seen nearly 0 real toxicity in AI. Its been really nice and relaxing.

Thefrostyviking1/16/2018, 3:05:31 PM1 votes

Well not that i think what your teammates did was anywhere near right, but consider from their perspective too x)

Some random guy suddenly locks Alistar toplane for some to them unknown reason, seems like a troll.

Then he goes and dies to the more meta pick ,which to your team must seem like a confirmation of their suspicion.

Then you probably got snowballed off and enemy toplane got super strong and your team probably didn't feel it possible to win anymore, so they give up and take out their frustration on you being the obvious choice for a scapegoat.

Is this right? No.

Is it normal? Very so.

Game does unfortunately enforce meta's in a way, a champ can only go to a few lanes or even just one depending on their specialization, because if they were buffed to be viable in multiple they´d be too strong in the "main one".

Which thus enforces stuff like Alistar being a pretty bad choice for a toplaner, as he is a dedicated support pick-

So in hindsight, i really recommend avoiding toplane altogether until you can find some champs meant for the lane, otherwise you´ll face a endless amount of people who think you are trolling and a lot of flame with that.

As well as being at a constant disadvantage in the actual game, prone to lose which will only give the trolls more material to bash you with.

So.....avoid the lane until such a time that you can get more champs.

And your claim that essence rewards are too low is basically false, unless you happen to enjoy champ mastery a lot, but don't do that.

I basically did the math and calculated that from the very start of the preseason you´d earn about 360 BE every day for 2-3 games per day, which is about the same as the IP you´d earn before, over a week you´d if only getting minimum income of 810 per level get about 150-250 less BE compared to the IP gains from before.

But if getting average rolls or better rolls you´d earn more.

Only other difference is that you have to pay a much higher price for champ mastery, so as long as you don't do that it fine.

It was Draft Mode I wanted to play Top Lane Can't afford new Champions because you don't get rewarded enough Essence Then

I get trolled !! MUTE ??? Profit

KatarinaStory1/21/2018, 2:44:27 AM1 votes

Unfortunately what I do in this situation is mute chat, mute pings, and go back to basics. Stay in my lane, farm, and eventually they'll get over it. Picking a non-meta champ is not a reportable offense. Feeding, flaming, etc. are reportable, so don't do those and try to enjoy the match. Sorry this happened.
