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.

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.

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.
