I like queuing up with other people I know not because of their skill, but their attitudes

Nothing tanks the games faster when everyone is bickering and focused on fighting each other instead of the enemy. Even if people have bad games, I rather have them because we have a chance of coming back when they are focusing on getting back on track rather than my teammates rqing or opening mid the second the team gold is 10 behind.

One of your teammates goes 0/10/2? I been there, seen that, and it sucks, but if no one rages at them, maybe they make some GREAT play in a critical moment and win the game for you, all it takes is people not harassing each other. Who knows, they might turn into 12/10/20 and it wont be bad.

When I make bad plays and mess up, I am already beating myself up, and when people spam mia pings and spit in my face to add salt to my wounds of making mistakes, I get upset and my motivation to play better becomes nonexistent. But if people just say nothing or just break the tension with a lol or neutral/encouragement, I try to do better next time.

I believe this game not only involves your skill and reflexes, but also the way you behave and how your other teammates behave, so I don't see what is the harm in having a more stable team by having people you know that don't rage on your team.

Yeah I just got out of a bad game. I played as braum support. Had a Sivir who repeatedly ignored braums passive. When she was being chased down, I had the enemy hit with 2/4 CB (Concussive Blows) stacks. And twice, she would ignore braums passive. Rather than turrning around and hitting 2x for the stun. She keeps running and ignoring braums passive, letting herself get killed. Then tells Me how bad I AM when her actions not only get her killed, but me as well. We lose towers at record speed, but Our diana is too busy flaming eveyrone else and BMing them over their Kda. Surrender vote comes up, and she votes No, pulling the "its Bronze, comebacks happen all the time" Then immediately after starts BMing Yi over his KDA. Team is already at each others throats, and immediately after voting no on surrender, starts BMing Braum, Yi, and Udyr while praising Sivir "The girls on the team are doing the best, The male champions are just being wimps" (and she expects us to turn around and help her for an "Epic comeback"? We lost, But the point i am trying to make is.

Dont BM your team, threaten to report them for not performing, flame them over kda, then in the same breath expect them to work with you for a comeback.

^This. Technically you can fully communicate with pings. A quick mute will save you a lot of stress.

The funny/sad part is that comebacks happen so often in Bronze/Silver because of attitudes, which is totally lost on a player like that.

There's always exceptions of course, but I'd say a slight majority of comebacks I've seen are where the losing team just shuts up and focuses on trying to win, while the winning team squabbles over who's going to get blue buff or something, or lose a minor fight to poor playing and start flaming the shit out of each other even though they're winning. I've seen it so many times in 7 years, one person gets uppity about a small death, flames somebody a little bit, they respond, and before you know it multiple people are so busy focusing on typing and not paying attention to the game, and the entire team simply collapses and throws their entire lead away.

Attitude is definitely important. It won't win you games all on its own, but a single person with a bad attitude can easily destroy a close game.

Yes, It is a cycle Player A makes a mistake Player B flames player A for said minor mistake (Maybe missed a skillshot or got caught out) Player A stresses and overcompensates, ends up making MORE mistakes Player B Flames Player A for those NEW mistakes. Player A goes on full stress-Tilt and makes more and more mistakes, can no longer focus on the match, just being flamed and harassed over previous mistakes which no one lets go of Player B Labels Player A a "Troll" Or "Feeder" and calls for report. Match ends up being lost while the team implodes into flames.

Next match Player B will Repeat the process because they are so smug and full of themselves that they dont believe it was THEIR FLAMING over a MINOR mistake that started the team on tilt. Because according to their logic "its not toxic if its true" So it becomes a case of Lather, rinse, repeat.

This happens in Diamond and Plat elo, most people like to throw leads and not close a game and end up losing, I have won/lost 5 v 4s before.

Yeah the irony is insane with this diana. You'd think that if someone wanted a comeback they'd try to encourage their team, not flame them and make them do worse

Yeah It was quite amazing. She talks about how she votes NO on surrender because "its bronze elo, comebacks happen all the time"

Then immediately starts ripping on Master Yi for his KDA (KDA shaming him), Talks about how the "male champs are just weaklings" while she praises herself and sivir. Tells the rest of the team how trash/garbage they are. Then immediately starts belting out demands that the team come and help HER.

Yeah you tell someone how complete and utter garbage they are, insult and degrade them, then turn around and say "Now come over here and fight with (or in her case, For) me!" See how eager they are to work with you? My guess is...Not that eager.

I like winning too don't get me wrong. I just believe it is much easier to win when people are not flaming and that is why I like having people I know on my team because I know they will keep the complaining and flaming to a minimum because it is very hard to focus when you have to feel like playing a 1 v 9.

I will be honest, sometimes I get upset when we get stomped too and I will complain, sometimes to peoples on my friendslist in pms and ill make a rude comment once in a while, and when I do that I take a break from league because I feel bad afterwards, which is why I usually end up /mute all when my teammates are bickering when the game is spiraling out of control so I don't get instigated and add more fuel to the fire.

I've tried asking people for advice on how to get better. The most common response? "Well just don't be bad."

That's supposed to help how??? And then because it's a premade and I didn't build exactly like THEY wanted me to build, I get reported lol

Queueing with someone you know helps you keep your head together and dealing your salty teammates.

Let's be honest. If you don't have a group of friends to play with, you are going to get banned. It's a matter of time. In solo queue, you can set your watch, that perma ban is coming thanks to some jealous teammate who can't stand you for being better than him. And remember Riot's philosophy, everyone is guilty, until never proven innocent.

Been playing since S1-ish. Never been banned, or even contacted by Riot for something else than surveys or password changes. and I rarely play with more than one or two friends. It's a matter of mindset.

I play this game since season 3 alone as a support, I try to stay positive and apologize after I make a mistake. I also give encouragement like "nice job", "thank you", etc. If someone try to pick a fight with me or any other teammates, I insta mute them regardless of their reasons. I don't say anything, I just mute... not like one of those people that are entitle to announce to the world like "lol (summoner name) muted, wtf xD". Why is it so hard to not let your negativity come out? Majority of the people that come into the board and complain about them getting ban for no reason always get proven wrong in the worst way possible and they still try to justify their right. I don't know about your attitude in the game, but notice that you can get ban for being "passive aggressive", it is an option on the report button. Making a sarcastic remark to try to distant yourself instead of just mute is banable, people just thought that it is so right for them to be like "omg, this team suck, why arent we ff at 20, what a worthless game". Yes, what you are saying is grieving and it is annoying. We already know that you want to surrender when you start the /ff, there is no need to repeat it.

I'm the opposite. A summoners code bronze dork is very irritating.

Then you get friends as toxic as mine and want to kill yourself after playing with them.
