Riots system of reporting is ridiculous. "toxic" is so broad and safe space nonsense

If you are crushing in a game, your bot lane is feeding and refusing to ward or group or do anything they should be doing and you get frustrated and tell them to "fucking group you idiots". This isn't toxic, this is a competitive person who wants to win and people who refuse to work as a team to do so.

If they talk back and you and get into an argument, this is not toxic. This is a stupid internet fight that means nothing and the team can mute them and you if it bothers them.

NOW, if a team member is intentionally not grouping or INT'ing THAT is toxic. That is what should be bannable. If a person is using racial slurs and other nonsense, go ahead and perma ban them.

I'm sick of pinging assist 20 seconds in advance only to watch my team not react or someone doesn't want to work with the team because "he didn't get ganks and you are a shit jungler" and I'm supposed to just sit there for the 10th time that game when asking nicely does nothing and just suck it up. Has anyone at riot ever played sports? it seems they haven't because if a player on a team did what these kids do in ranked, they would get yelled at and benched.

I'm sorry but calling someone bad for playing bad or telling them to play safe and stop fighting is not being toxic, its being competitive and RIOT has normal and ranked games confused for some reason\

Also if you are "playing ranked just to mess around and have fun" stop. ranked is for winning and competing. Do that shit in normals

With that attitude, you're going to have a very rough time. Just because you don't agree the with the definition of toxic doesn't change the fact that it is toxic. Riot is doing an amazing job. I will continue to support them to fight against players who think being toxic is okay. Regardless if you agree with it or not.

Have YOU played sports? Because try spending an entire game screaming at your teammates when they fail to meet your expectations and see if your coach keeps you on the roster.

chat logs? The "safe space" remark makes me think you used hate speech.

100% how old players think. but the 99% of players are 14 years old white knights so we have to deal with them being hurt by a <<you shoulda bought tabis against full ad comp>>

which way will have better results when dealing with total strangers?

#1 "fucking group you idiots" #2 "bot lets group up"

You get more honey with sugar than vinegar, sooner you realize that, sooner you will have more success in random matching of groups.

Because no matter how bad someone plays the game, getting hostile with rude language will not improve the situation.

Sounds like a toxic person trying to justify being toxic. If you're doing fantastic but your team mates are dumb, then there's nothing you can do. Tell them politely what to do, if they don't listen, then try to work around it. Or just accept the fact that you will lose because your team mates are shit. It happens. Can't win them all. And if you argue, that's even worse. There's a mute button for a reason.
