How do I stop flaming?
I'm trying to change my ways of flaming, I've received the 25 chat ban and don't want to get 2 week ban, sometimes I just can't help myself when my team is trolling. Does anyone know what I can do? :/
Thanks

Have you tried not flaming?
You can't change the behavior of an ally by shouting him he's bad. And constructive criticism need to be cold minded. You seem to have a pretty boiling personality, so the best advice I can give you is to not talk at all and focus on your own mistakes. Yes, it's hard to admit mistakes, but it's better this way.
Otherwise, just keep in mind that LoL is a game. You are playing to have fun primarily. Ranks are nothing more than a way to make you improve and/or be matched against people of your own skill level. It's completely false to think that you are better than anyone on your team or the enemy team even. If you are matched against them, it's because the matchmaking system thought it was going to be a fair game. It's your job to show it that it was wrong.
Yeah, do a few things:
-
mute anyone who's harassing you. You don't need anything extra setting you off.
-
You should be expecting someone to feed/afk every game. And by expecting, I mean play a champion you can carry with.
*Keep a list of the top 3 champs you'll use in each role (with two for support: tanks; mages) and leave it on your desk. If you get throw into a roll, don't lose a match because you don't remember which champs you like in a role you don't play.
- Positive reinforcement. You should be congratulating everyone on everything anyway, just short of seeming sarcastic. It creates a mood where people want to do well. But at the 15 minute mark, if you realize someone is toxic/afk/feeding do three things:
-
mute the toxics and congratulate people who do things well - even if that's the toxic person
-
Acknowledge that you might lose. Say it out loud if necessary and if it hcanges, great. But don't dwell on it.
-
Most importantly, take this time where you know the outcome to improve your own game play. Find someone who is doing well/trying earnestly and push with them. The one thing that always turns the tide is an enemy error. You have to stick to the plan during chaos.
- Take a break. Play ARAM or read a guide on your champ. See what people are building on champion.gg, go eat lunch. Do whatever it takes to break the cycle.
sometimes I just can't help myself when my team is trolling.
In my own experience, people claim others are trolling far more often than people actually troll.
Your best course of action is to focus on your own actions. What could you have done better in that play? Could you have roamed more or warded better?
Worst case scenario, say those things you want to type to yourself. You'll only get punished for those things you type, not those things you say or think, so it can be a good way to vent.
I had to change the way I interacted with players/games when I got my 2-week ban a year ago. I havn't been punished since and got the whole "thank you for changing and now being a great community member" notification thing. Basically what I did was realized - ok, so there is a troll/toxic/feeder/whatever in this game. WORST CASE I lose the game and lose lp. I will report/block this player and never see him again. So, honestly, whats the big deal? It is one game, you are going to play hundreds more this season, and you are gonna lose hundreds more this season. Worst case in losing a game = lp loss...worst case in flaming = 2 week ban for you (and eventually permaban). When your adrenaline starts rushing and you start mindlessly becoming a keyboard warrior, before you press enter and send you toxic message, just read it over and think "what is calling this guy an idiot piece of shit really going to do?" It's not going to make that player any better, it is just going to make your bad situation worse, and it is going to earn you several reports from your teammates (and possibly the other team if it is in all chat). Then think to yourself....is it really worth it? Who is calling someone a piece of shit going to effect more...you or that guy? 100% of the time it is going to effect YOU more.
Hope this helps...it has helped me a lot.
While there is no way to actually disable chat here is what I do.

When the game loads immediately type /ignore all. It mutes everyone in the game. Best thing Riot ever did on their very short list of "good things".

After the game is over. Wait 1-2 min before you exit the game and go to the post game screen. Alot of people wait until after the game to bad mouth each other or especially the other team. I have submitted several tickets to Riot asking for confirmation that post game chat violations are a reportable offense that is seen by the AI for verification. I have not heard back which means no. In fact I was told to post on the forums that it should as a suggestion. Waiting at least 1 (2 to be safe) after the game ensure all the QQ ragers either leave without getting their jabs in, or they type stuff and you dont see it because you were not there.

Prosper and enjoy. Then wonder why Riot still has not implemented a system that allows you to mute a player in game that mutes them through the entire system. 6 freaking years and Riot still has done nothing to protect users from toxicity.
Best way is to turn /all chat off and then just mute people who are complaining or setting you off
change your attitude overall and dont let yourself swept by the matches flow. you must realize that usually people are not competent or more competent than you or as you mainly because, besides being different personalities, they probably and most probably are younger and you could cause harm to them by being offensive. you may look smarter or smoother by flaming, but that only is hurtful. its okay to lose 10 games in a row, its ok to lose 15 20 whatever, it doesnt matter if youre outmatched outskilled. its usually your choices in the game that cause either lose or win or losing spree.
of course there are trolls, flamming kids in your team or whatever, but that doesnt mean that you should go on spamming the chat with flaming.
if you feel like raging too much, take a break, read a book, watch a tv show, go outside, hang out with friends, fill your time with something else until you feel that you're not that angry anymore.
don't just get offended by anything else, people probably either don't know what to do more than that and they burst out raging, mainly because they made a bad decision, or don't know how to handle a situation.
besides, overall raging denies your focusing on other things, let's say you rage over that idiot support which takes cs and doesn't heal when needed. by flaming at him, you stand by the tower if you're lucky, or right in the middle of the lane, while giving opportunities to the enemy blitzcrank to grab you. but if he is dead, maybe their jungler just thinks that he should take some kills bot and bam, you're dead, that's not fair you were typing. why you were typing? because your supp was bad and tries to act unlike a supportive role, but that supp, maybe he is a 10 yo, that just got home from school and he's just not skilled, because maybe he can't, maybe his little brother watches too and wants too to play and bugs him, maybe his cat just is acting crazy, there are alot of reasons. besides you maybe miss like 17 cs, which are the same just as a kill. miss cs, miss building that infinity edge. again your 10 yo supp's fault because he doesn't know how to play. no it's really not. he's just a kid. he went in to enjoy doing something great, but you ruin his experience, ruin other's experience. just like that maybe you feel like trolling. bam, min 20, match lost. 1 unskilled player, and another either afk, either feeding the enemy team on purpose.
it's a game. it's not real, besides, take things in a somewhat positive attitude, make fun and jokes about that lil froggie cho that just took a bite of your little akali, hey lil cho has to eat. you died? let's say you died because the jungler came up. meh, jungie, jungie, was just passing by, watching you getting dead and bam skillshot. rengie the hunter and the lil cho from accross the street. lil rengie was fed because top pantheon didn't learn how to stun. they don't teach at school today. back in my days, you were learning that the hard way, my mum for example, got so mad one match that i lost 1 22 1 with her master yi, that she blocked the internet for a week, can you imagine? killer pantheon skin, rengie when saw it died a little inside. not too much, but a little. hey that's effective. but i guess that's why he started feeding rengie in the first place. he became a catnip. dayum. besides he only kills at his ult, what a ... cat.
and no, it's not about just you feeding because you just don't know how to outskill a jax. you will do better next time. sometimes you get killed when you were about to kill the other guy, it means something usually, that next time he'll get it. or maybe your champ is a late game champ, play less aggressive the first 5-10 minutes, focus on creeps, creep denying, lane freezing, stay safe. but then suddenly the whole enemy team decides top tower is gone. you can't face 1 v 4 with tower. or 5. so why go in.
stuff like that.
gg wp. easy.
Mute everybody, set chat scale to 1%
Thanks everyone for giving me options :)

i know your feeling, i really can't hold myself when you are trying hard to carry them but all thing they did is spamming, laughing and feeding. if they really wanna have fun. Run for AI game with ur friends. DOnt ruin someone game to get more fun. I get banned cuz toxic to someone trolled game and that guys still there and ruin others game. That's how riot did with all my report.
