Passive aggressive team mates are the worst

I'm pretty used to regular insults from both opposition and your own team mates, but when your own team mate is passive-aggressively blaming you for everything that goes wrong in the game while giving your other team mates constant smiley's and positive feedback mixed in with "You're so much better than them" it hurts a lot more.

I'd seriously rather them simply be angry at me the whole time instead of trying to turn the whole team into some drama session.

Passive aggressive is indeed annoying. There impact however is also smaller and incremental. Usually just ignoring them will diffuse it or force the to get bolder and in the end draw a ban.

You can also passive aggressive back, self deprecation is a good counter strategy as it quickly draw sympathy and can turn the table. At this point the passive aggressor must reassess Thier strategy. Smart ones will stop, dumb ones will step up, making them vulnerable to a ban.

Play the game next time you see a PA, it's fun. It's fair game they Know what's up. It's calculated.

It's common because it avoids the punishment better than being obviously aggressive.

Whilst these players are trying to insult your intelligence & throw abuse it can make one wonder why the hell they don't make thier own team up. In a blind pick game it is exactly what it says on the tin. Players will have a huge difference between skill levels & experience, I think out of respect to League Of Legends & Riot Games every player has a duty to be helpful & welcoming to players. If more players have bad experiences then they will disappear which isn't good for anyone.... & yes I'm not a particular good player, I'm only playing because I really enjoy the game, makes me wonder what some of these players are aiming for? Seems mighty strange & the joke is on them. Anyway your not alone, I hate seeing it written in chat wether it's aimed at me or someone else.
