Riot should reconsider its stance towards player behavior

Riot has the tendency to punish players for calling out towards fellow players that didnt perform well. That helps to create a toxic enviroment where players who dont perform well in games blame their team mates and those who call them out get punished instead. LOL is a competetive team geam where players should be urged to improve and not defended for being bad. Even if the comments from my better teammates werent nice, I always accepted them. I deserved to be flamed and it helped me improve in the game. They have reasons to be frustrated and that reason was me. Its sad that those people who are helping acutally get punished. Riot should try to create an enviroment where that doesnt happen, although i know its hard to tell if that person is realy just better or just being toxic.

Mad cuz bad? I see this phrase a lot, it's irksome to the umpteenth degree.

Maybe instead of focusing on the performance of teammates that we have virtually no control over, we should focus on improving ourselves and just being encouraging instead. Lead on the rift, not with disdainful attacks upon ones skill at the game.

It sounds like you got punished for calling out someone for inting.

Been there, done that. It is an unfortunate downside to a computerized review process, heuristics and algorithms are bad at determining trolling or feeding behavior and seeing the bigger picture.

The thing with the report system is that it's up to players whether they find your actions objectionable. You can provide positive feedback without insulting the player. "your cs sucks" "learn how to land hooks" doesn't really contain any info that the player doesn't already know, nor does it contain useful info. "get closer before throwing out a hook" is helpful without being negative.

I'm sad you think like this.

Yes please, I'd like to hear the logical reasoning behind "This guy is doing bad, I think he's bad, I'm gonna tell him he sucks at life and to stop sucking in order to motivate him" XD

There's no respect there. There's no consideration of every game you did terrible at yourself. Who thinks to themselves "This person that insulted me must be better at the game. I should listen to them to improve myself"?

When's the last time advice to your adc was given as "yo, alternate the side of each wave so its harder for blitz to hit you" as opposed to "OMFG you suck at positioning stop getting hooked"? lol

There is a big, noticeable difference between helping and flaming. One is nice and patient, the other tells you to kill yourself for missing cs.

You are so right. Everyone knows the key to winning is to berate your teammates for every mistake. Why do you think NBA players called each other useless scrubs every time they miss a free throw?
