I would recommend simply enduring it. If you need some stress relief I hear that raging out loud at the screen instead of through the chat works for some people. Bear in mind that your opponents probably get a troll too every few games. The roughest part is when people emote spam you for losing when you know they know it wasn't your fault for losing, but if you just endure it you will climb to your appropriate rank in time.

Personally, I rage outloud rather than in chat, when I do. If someone annoys me, I mute them. You can try typing out your messages in chat, but don't press enter, just press esc and keep playing if that helps.

Also, Dodging in champion select won't get you banned fam. You'll get a dodge timer, but you won't suffer any account penalties, other than -3 LP. But taking the -3 LP is better than taking a full loss, is it not?

ps, Nice Name :P

Here are two things you can do.

First join a group that you get along with and play with them. This will lower the chances of getting trolls on you plus you have some people to back you up. Practice and work together with your new friends and only que uo with them

Second, memorise the Serenity Prayer and apply it to your life. I am anti religous and athiest but i still believe 100% in those words. Trust me, it works, at least a bit

To be honest there is nothing you can do. Riot unfortunately does not take trolls or intentional feeders seriously. Not saying toxicity is ok, but its typically fueled by something worse, which is inting. The amount of players I have had straight up walk down mid lane and go 0-12 is appalling. And yes, I am guilty of being toxic in those situations. I report these players, follow their accounts and yet Riot never bans them. So to me, Riot is saying, its not ok to be toxic but its totally acceptable to intentionally feed. They are sending the message that its ok to waste 4 peoples time, that in life its ok to Intentionally lose, and its ok to have a negative attitude. Furthermore, riot is FORCING us to accept intentionally feeding without saying a word, for fear of being banned by big bad riot. Riot themselves fail to understand why most people are toxic.. I think it would be beneficial for them to go through chat logs and see that the majority of people are toxic because they are in a game with someone that is inting. I think this is riots major flaw. I am sorry riot, but you will never stop flaming if you don't stop intentional feeders. I would love to hear from someone in riot that can explain to me why intentional feeding is never punished but toxicity is? I would love to hear their rational as to why its ok to Int, but its not ok to get upset at someone for inting and wasting 30+ minutes of your time?

Riot should stop their double standard and realize that inting and toxicity are hand in hand and intimately related. Its not like the majority of us rage on people for having a bad game

apparently, the only way to deal with this situation is to mute all players from the start. this ensures there is no chat log on your side and therefore nothing to witch hunt over. not sure how this is beneficial to the game and to people playing with you but it appears to be the logical path to self-preservation

that said, you can always make a lot of accounts and do pre-emptive trolling in anticipation of people trolling you. that would be the logical path to having fun at other players' expense

Mute everyone so you are less inclined to bitch in chat...esp all chat

GigglesO10/6/2017, 5:32:19 AM3 votes

/mute all

And then resist typing to that trash that misses all of their skill shots and feeds.

Raven Redeemed10/5/2017, 10:36:29 PM3 votes

Good on you for making the effort. Personally, I find listening to my own music helps set a more enjoyable mood. I've heard some people say they will simply remove the enter key from the keyboard so they won't say something they regret.

For me, reminding myself "It's just a game. I should be having fun." helps the most. Just putting things in perspective. If that doesn't help you can take a break: play some aram, watch one of your replays, do something productive for a bit, etc.

Good luck!

Riots banning system sucks. It just makes the game more toxic as a mistake is immediately followed by threats of reports and the majority of toxic play doesn't fit into reporting categories, only toxic speech allowing more and more trolls to ruin ranked games while the players trying to play are getting reports and chat-restrictions/bans. The more Riot pretends to improve their system to make the game less toxic, the more their system feeds the toxicity and makes it worse. Beta this game wasn't toxic, it was like any other multiplayer game. Season 1 the game wasn't that toxic, season 2 it got more toxic though. From there, their system of reports and bans and chat bans were introduced and developed and it has resulted in Riot citing "changed behavior success", yes all I see are trolls getting away with being toxic while other players are not allowed to speak in chat in the slightest negative behavior towards them without risking the trolls reporting them. Yeah, people who get reported are no longer getting reported; but the game is becoming ever more toxic so what is their crappy system really doing for the game? I've run into more ranked trolls this season than ever before. People just ping you dead and in-game taunt and stand in your lane etc instead of doing reportable behavior, and meanwhile troll even harder in-game than they used to. Half my friend group has stopped playing League regularly or altogether because ranked has become increasingly more toxic. Example, I had a support take nunu (who I was showing as my pick and he took just to piss me off) with smite and follow me around the jungle last hitting my jungle creeps and taunting after each one he stole. It was all he did for 15 minutes and when I got invaded at blue he taunted and ran away without casting a single spell or doing anything. I reported him for inting, I'm sure nothing came from that report but I got a chat restriction for bitching at him in chat which started as me pinging him and telling him to go bot after he smited my blue buff.... which I thought was a pretty level-headed response to him stealing my buff in ranked.

Swear outlouds. Works for me

so the biggest thing with most people (including me) is typing in chat. For some reason, everything we say comes off as negative, even if we don't intend it to be. That's just how league is. The best chance you have to not getting banned is NOT TYPING ANYTHING AT ALL IN CHAT.

If you have to. just do '/ignore all' as soon as game starts. You won't have any reason to argue back if noone talks to you. The only thing stopping you from not getting banned or flaming chat, is yourself. YOu have to restrain yourself. Something most of us needs working on (including me). And its hard.. but with practice we can do it, for example, you can try to do /note (or /notes?? i forgot) "insert flame here" to let out your stress by typing, but not actually type to team or anyone else. And then you can check the .txt file in riot games folder and see how you were.

tl;dr Don't type. Let it out in real life (don't like smash your stuff or anythihng, i mean like sigh very very deeply and stretch or something, or get some cold water and drink water, that tends to help me alot, staying hydrated.) That's your best bet, if you just don't type, the only way you'll get banned is by scripting/using cheats, or Intentionally feeding.

OR the occasional suuuuuper rare ban error.

Honestly, easiest way to not be toxic is to internalize that this is just a game. We're not pros. Have your fun, and if somebody else either intentionally or unintentionally ruins your fun for that game, brush it off and have your fun in the next one. League is never worth getting upset over, though I sympathize with the fact that the game's design does cultivate that impulse.

Xidphel10/5/2017, 7:23:20 PM2 votes

Unfortunately, there's not much riot can do. Take a break from the game. Come back later. In the meantime, if you feel like you're tilting, seek help. Doctors and psychiatrist can help you there.

Hellmaximus110/5/2017, 8:19:41 PM2 votes

As someone who has been chat restricted about 2-3 times since i started playing back in season 2, I find the best way to not be toxic is to either mute the enemy team, or just disable all chat altogether. Most player use all chat to flame, and if the enemy uses all chat is usually to trash talk and try to tilt you so by removing this element alone can help improve not only your gameplay but also your attitude towards your team. DO NOT /mute all or tell someone you're muting them because then they're more likely to abuse pings, muting pings should be the last resort to dealing with a toxic player.

Anger management. People go to therapists for shit like this. I don't think we can help you.

Tanerian10/5/2017, 9:43:51 PM2 votes

This has always been hard for me to understand.

People who rage because they like to win. It doesn't even make sense. Raging lowers your chances of winning. Raging tilts your teammates, and yourself. It makes those around you play worse. By typing into chat, you are literally lowering your chances of winning . Pointing out a persons flaws or mistakes in a game full of random people when they have not asked for it is NEVER going to make them play better in that game.

I like to Win! I rage!

Does not compute. Stop being a child maybe.

not playing the game is the only 100% effective method of ban control

SSShutTheDuckUp10/5/2017, 11:26:40 PM2 votes

Something I found helpful is the esc button. Press enter, throw there all the salt you have, then just click escape instead of enter. Aside from that not being toxic is pretty easy once you meet a few toxic allies and enemies, if you have the mentality to have fun. You will found how a raging enemy "globally taunts" everyone, because he is prone to make mistakes, and a raging teammates is something you pretty much ignore. Also do not play multiple games in a row, if you see you are angry - you are playing for fun after all. Watch a movie, a failarmy video, or whatever - take a rest for a few minutes - it makes wonders.

I feel you there amigo. It's really hard not to slip up when things go wrong.

I've written an entire post on the topic, so rather than re-writing it here I'll just provide this link:

DuskDaUmbreon10/6/2017, 3:41:18 PM2 votes

What I try to do is see the best in the match. Is one person a troll? Eh. Whatever. Find the nice guy. Find the guy you can joke with. Even if he's on the enemy team. Find the friendly guy, there's always one.

I find it helps to start talking immediately. I always enter the lobby with "Heya! :3", and keep conversing as long as I'm able. Joke, laugh, find something funny. Try to make light of your mistakes. Even if there is that asshole that's like "you talk too much", just ignore him.

Try to keep criticism in a friendly manner. If you can't do that, just don't criticize at all. This isn't just to keep you from being punished, it's to try to keep your team from getting tilted.

And always try to shift blame away from your teammates however you can. If someone messes up, remind them that even pros make mistakes. Try to shift the fault of someone doing bad to it being a "bad matchup" or whatever. Just try to keep everyone happy. It's the only way to make it through.

Finally, try to vent your frustration a little bit at a time. Redirect it to something that won't be hurt by it, let it out in small bursts of exasperation (NOT directed at your teammates!), or find a way to utilize it. If you can't do that, then just hold it in and let it out at the end of the match.

Tips from an NA Silver Jungler (a.k.a. the first target of flaming):

If someone is flaming you or anyone else on your team, mute them. Something I do is I tell my team to mute the player as well to help me and my team avoid tilt.

Try to avoid typing in chat. I find I tilt less when I type less. So don't use chat unless you need to communicate something more complex that's important, like telling your team to push waves then take baron, or to prep an objective before it comes up.

USE PINGS NOT YOUR KEYBOARD.

If someone is just complaining in chat, mute them, it can and will put you on tilt.

Do NOT send even one even slightly sarcastic or flamey message in chat. If you do it once, you will do it more.

Think about how to win the game and focus less on individual players. Playing support and your ADC is a lost cause (gets caught out of position constantly despite warnings, takes dumb fights repeatedly)? Roam, do not go back to lane, invest resources into deep warding the enemy jungle and ganking other lanes. Keep in mind everyone makes mistakes once or twice and that doesn't mean you should just give up, it's just when they don't learn. Mid/Top and your jungler won't gank? Roam/TP gank if you can't win your lane. Keep in mind there are lanes your jungler will have trouble ganking, and if you want a gank, let them push and freeze the wave near your tower. ADC and your support keeps getting caught? Simply ask them to stand behind you, just let them push and let you you farm so you can scale. Jungler and you're behind? Play around a strong/winning lane. When your laner is pushed tower, in most situations your laners will get to you faster than theirs if you find/fight the other jungler. Use this safety to get wards into their jungle and when they gank the opposite side of the map you're on, invade their jungle/set up vision. You can also just farm it out if the champion allows it.

Mute is your friend. Try to communicate solely through meaningful pings. Accept that there are things you can not change and progress around that.

SmallMilkyLoliGF10/6/2017, 4:50:17 PM1 votes

It is all your fault. I don't care what it is, it is your fault. I don't care if your support Nami dove the Nautilus at full health. Find a way to balm yourself and do it. If you start to think like that then instead of getting mad at everyone else, you are too busy correcting your own mistakes. This will help you start doing little stuff like warding in the enemy jungle well also preventing flaming because all of your anger is directed at you.
