A Brief Look at Silver 5 Toxicity

The TL;DR is at the bottom

You know when you get angry at the Xerath support who doesn't buy a Sightstone 15 minutes into the game despite already have a full finished F.Q.C. and a NLR, who flames you, the jungler, for not being on top of every Dragon because you have lanes to gank and are trying to keep the new Master Yi out of your jungle because you picked Diana and you thought you need magic damage for your team, then the support picks and you feel retarded from the beginning? No? Just me? K then.

So, after we lost, because ofc we lost with a 4-15 Corki mid into a Yasuo who would stroll down to our botlane, who both had a note from their doctors, each, saying they were allergic to early game vision, and handily gift Yasuo double after double. Then the Xerath support blames Corki, which I understand but do not condone. C'mon man, he already had one heck of a game, now we kick him when he's down? Cruel.

Then he drags me into it. Granted, I will never claim to be anything other then devout Silver trash, but still. I was not listened to when objectives where called for, and my ganks where often meet thusly: Me: I got you bro. I pinged it, we can at least try! Them: Oh, you ulted in? And you don't have flash to get out? Thanks for the opportunity to back safely. Also, why you feed my lane?

So, I friend this person, and I swear, we literally talked for AN HOUR. Like 60 minutes. Almost. Real close.

Now, I'm about to sound pretentious. I am. I'm SO okay with that. "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Ghandi. Or at least paraphrased from him. Whatever.

I tried to show this person who had angered me so the error of the path he is currently on. The path of flaming everyone who fails and everyone who disagrees with you.

Now, I will post some exchange highlights. In the interest of fairness, I will say this:

1. We both name-called. A lot. With words you don't say in front of your grandma.
2. I did come on aggressively, so I cannot entirely fault his response.
3. He, at the end of the conversation, told me mentors b5's and bad kids in his spare time. I do not believe him. I think he just told me some stuff to shut me up.

I will now post the things I wish to highlight, that he said.

"gotta love inting midlaners, adcs thinking they can 1v5, and jgs who think they know everything yet doesnt know the vaule of drags"

Coming from the kid who bought his Sightstone in the 2nd half of the 40 minute game, it doesn't mean much.

"how is that toxic i only pointed out the obvious because they need to understand"

Yes, because we're EXCLUSIVELY the problem here. No other factors at play. You totally didn't tilt everyone on your teams by spamming all chat about how bad we are, and how we are all idiots, who have failed at everything.

"you cry about vayne (complain)ing to ur (bad) duo partner but guess what we lost becuase of ur wood 10 duo so pls dont talk to me (idiot)."

I literally have no response to this. I'll let it stand as is.

"verbal police lmao dude, let it go who gives a (fart) if you int yout gonna (fart)ing get flamed all you have to do is die twice and people flame you its the game in every game there is toxicisty so theres nothing you can do"

How ingrained in it, to our core, that we must be toxic? Because you cannot be called out on it in person, you are entitled to be a jerk. I love that, just because you are hand a mask, you must now be a menace because you cannot be caught. Kick kids, steal candy, break things all in the name of, "because it's there." Fun fact: He's wrong. You could, y'know, not be a wad?

About 30 minutes in, he asked me, "what are you doin rn"

I responded with my intent, instead. "I want this community to improve"

His response? "lmao"

That's funny? Wanting things to be better is funny? Being a decent person when people know who I am and when they don't is funny? Not being an A-Hole is funny? Wanting to form temporary teams that are actually unified in a purpose is funny?

Believe me or not, I really don't care, but I'm Ex-Military. And I used play pick-up ball-games on post. I would make random friends and teammates all the time. I would never disrespect anyone who would come out and try. Because I have had games as an all-star and games where I feel like a quadriplegic. Most importantly, IT'S A GAME. IT's meant, TO BE FUN. And it is never fun when you make it the point to make your teammates day worse.?

Also, KIDS PLAY THIS GAME. Impressionable kids. Kids who will grow up thinking this is how you act, behave, and live your life. Let's not have that, shall we?

TL:DR- Just because you were issued a butthole at birth doesn't mean you need to use it to crap on people. We all have bad games. We all have bad days. Don't be a douche.
