Hi I am fang, I love to play league and I am a jg/adc/support main. I have been playing this game since September or October of 2017, I didn’t start alone I had many friends that joined me too Btw these a friends I know in real life

TLDR: i hav a “friend” who thought he was better than everyone else and then rains on me and my friend’s parade and becomes toxic when he can’t prove a point

One of my friends was really good at the game, he was the second best in our group and over the time a lot of us have been progressing overtime and then we eventually got to the point where we were somewhat equal to him

During or progression of league like discovering new tunes and champs to play and main he started doing this “one-up” thingy where he would buy a champion that we have tried to begin mastering and always challenge to a 1v1 and say “bet I’m a better ___ than u” he always trying to prove that he’s better than anyone and I do not like that, back then league was fun, it was new, it was exciting! But now he’s really toxic and mean to us and flames us a lot on our flaws when he doesn’t acknowledge his and when he does he brushes it off as a joke

This is how toxic he has become

So we were in a normal draft mode I played kayn jg and he played leblanc mid, he’s always like “UR A TRASH JUNGLER” when he’s never even seen how much I progressed with kayn. So then we won the game I had a good kda a decent amount of dmg dealt not something that’s carry material and after that I told him so how good am I with kayn? He had the nerve to say this “KAYN IS BRAINDEAD CHAMPION” Like okay I will admit kayn is not the hardest champ in the game nor is he the easiest but no champ is braindead I then told him “bro stop bullying me I just want to play the game and have fun” he had the nerve to say this “Climb to silver and I will think about it” LIKE WTF???????? I usually choose to stay away from ranked becuz I dont like playing competitively and I have told him a lot in the past?? It’s jot even me, I also have other friends that have had their parade rained on? It PISSES ME on how he thinks he can control how we play or how he has some sort of power over us??!? He always calls us insecure and stuff and I’ve had it

More shit like this happens a lot and idk why my friends still play with him maybe it’s because we were all lifelong friends or something?? So have you have guys ever had a situation like this?

This post is about sharing ur experiences with a toxic friend in a game u know irl in case u want to talk about it, what did u do? How did u avoid him? How do u try to avoid someone in ur friend group that you don’t like? Does competitive game bring the worse out of someone? This is my first post and I hope this goes well Thx for listening

Thats a "friend?"

I've had this happen before. Note that I no longer talk to the guy, and haven't in maybe 2-3 years.

Basically, I mostly play aram. I had met someone, and he was fun to play with. But every game, if someone purposely got executed he would basically call them a coward for not dying to anyone. He'd even do it to our teammates, as well as me. If you did bad, he called you out. If you had one stupid death, he got mad. He basically treated arams as diamond/challenger ranked and wouldn't approve of anything but the best of the best out of how you played the champion.

I gave him a few chances to stop, and had even told him to stop acting like that, especially if I'm playing with him. As that's not the kind of game I want to knowingly put myself in. Clearly, he didn't stop.

When people so deeply believe that what they're doing or what they say is correct and law, nothing will change it unfortunately.

i've had a friend who wouldn't play with me till i was silver and last season was kinda upset for himself that i was silver 2 when he was silver 1. Whenever we played he would also say it was because i brought the scrubs because of my lower elo... he didn't do the champion thing tho. He did tend to lie to me and tell me his games were full when they weren't because he didn't want to play with me...

I also had another friend(female if that matters) that did bully me about the game irl and in game. she wouldn't even let anyone in that friend group try any champion that she played, because she only played 4-5 champs....i still don't like playing/laning with lion dance or monarch kog and i still have a bitter taste about playing galio even post rework. She bullied me hard...and a couple joined her too in the fb group we had for us. (and this was f-ing college...)

basically some people suck. my first friend has gotten better about all that over the years. the girl? still a horrible person if you ask me.

Don't play with him if he's gonna act like that. That's what I did to friends who acted trash and it worked out. But make sure you explain to him why he is being shunned, that way he has the chance to resolve the issues, some people just dont realise how bad they are acting.

I had a similar experience, but the leader of our queue pack was very toxic and his friend actually defended his actions. He would never let me jungle, flame me in-game, and kicked me when I said that I was gonna pick jungle as primary and that's final. I was tired of having him being so toxic and he hadn't let me jungle all day. All because he wasn't getting the grade he wanted. He was always getting S- instead of S or S+, so? Guess what, he fucking flames after game all because he got S-. And if you're wondering that he's just a child or something, nope, they told me that this dude, was 18. FUCKING 18. And he threw tantrums over a goddamn S-.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for you to mute him IRL and in game. Basically, don't even acknowledge he's speaking to you, you just do your thing and talk to your other friends. So once he realizes he's being ignored, he'll get the idea why. You don't need to validate your actions through him as the baseline, especially when he thinks everyone else is beneath him and he's the only one who knows how to play and is never wrong.

Well, Ranked is toxic and I would said that it got to him. U can get flamed by everyone on your team for dying twice.

Unless he has less than 50 games played, he is either super competitive or who knows.

Being hardstruck can be annoying,

im kinda that way. but i try to teach my friends and they dont learn or they forget a day later, so i refuse to play with them. they also dont care if they win or lose im pretty sure JUST to piss me off. i have to micro manage enough bad players in solo que as it is. they certainly dont help.
