Is flirting with toxic biggoted players bad? ;)

story time! ok so

i was playing top vs fiona as teemo, and owning her. i got her low health and she went back to heal, but instead of coming up top she came up straight up mid, didnt even bother hiding it, and flat out rushed our mid. who then blamed me for not pinging she was missing, which i had no reason to because it wasnt unreasonable time gone and was less then 5minutes in. i was lvl 3. LOL

so then mid tilted and blamed me, even though i heavily outleveled my lane and won my lane. and i normally suck at this game so im used to people blaming me for sucking and taking it... but this time this reaction was way over the top.

anyhow within their toxicness they called me a %%%%%%, so i decided to have a little fun with them XD ima girl but i have a gender neutral username... so i played into it. played the part as a "%%%" and said "yes ima %%% and you sound like your a hot and bothered alpha, flame me more it turns me on, call me %%% plz" and flirted with them, and definitely pushed the lines with appropriateness but didn't cross lines nothing super sexual, just things like yes yes yes gimme more daddy ;] and they got super pissed off. lol

at the end they tried to get people to report me for sexually harassing them, but he was the one that everyone else reported along with me. we lost the game but my teammates were highly amused at our mid going nuts and our enemy team was like wth happened cuz my replies werent /alled i disabled all chat so i didnt see what they had to say till the end. mid was all chatting. so they only got half of it. at end they were like what were you saying to mid?! LOL XD

and i never got a warning from riot so i guess his report was dismissed as ridiculous, but since the jury for this thing is random, im curious what other people think.

was i being toxic? XD i wish i had a chat log to show you it was actually pretty great, i had a blast, even if i had been banned or suspended it would have been worth it. it was GREAT.

Don't provoke the trolls. Especially don't provoke the trolls by using hate speech yourself.

umm but i wasnt calling them anything, i used it back on myeslf, i said "yes ima ***" thats not really the same as calling someone else it?

Hate speech is hate speech whether you're using it to refer to yourself or not. Some specific communities have reclaimed it for use around people they know, but it is still not acceptable in a situation like a League game.

You fucked up actually; the f word is a trigger word for the system, and it will issue a ban regardless of context (if you say it twice). Better pray no one reported you or the system didn't catch you

good point/tip. usually context isnt looked into. morally there isnt anything wrong with confirming what someone else said about you, but the system doesn't look at that. ty for the tip/reminder. =]

I mean, that's fine and all but i would seriously refrain from using any derogatory terms etc. when you are doing this because they can get you banned.

So you provoked some1 into flaming.

Yes, you were toxic. And by the way you described how "you had a blast" at provoking some1, you look like a bigger douche than your mid. Next time just mute and report. Cuz this shit made you look way worse than your mid imo.

is it provoking flaming if they were flaming before i said anything? XD

i see it more as playing with the toxic person XD i never did any flaming though more like being passive aggressive.... i was taking everything they threw at me up until they used the f_ _ word. then i just saw opportunity to play into it. XD their assumption i was a guy, and trying to hurt me calling me gay, tipped me into feeling evil, but i never said anything bad about them. I took them raging at me and acted like it made me happy/horny lol

It doesnt matter if you insulted/flamed them or not. Instead of muting and /or stopping the flamefest, you kept on provoking him into flaming. That's toxic. I wouldnt be so proud of doing that if I was you but ehh .. whatever rocks your boat I guess. Just keep in mind atm you look just as bad, if not worse, as the dude that flamed you.

i dont see how it can be seen as worse, without any insulting going on. o_O? like disagreeing with it, seeing it as bad, okay, but worse?

It can be seen as worse because youre provoking more toxicity. Simple as that.

Technically yes, If that player felt bothered by you and "the system" / the person reviewing your report thinks so too, you could get banned. (Or rather, punished, If you never got messaged by Riot before.) Riot does not distinguish between flaming someone "back", toxic behaviour is toxic regardless of your target.

Also keep in mind that one game is usually not enough for any kind of punishment, (unless you use the big "no-go" words and even then I'm not sure) so even If your behaviour was out of line, you probably won't see punishment for it.

My personal opinion however is that you did great, way too few people have fun in this game and it sounds like at least the four of you enjoyed it.

but thats the catch, technically, i did no flaming what so ever, i took their toxic behaviour and asked for more, acted like it turned me on lol
