Think before you flame. Don't stab an already bleeding wound

99% of toxic players flame because they don't think before typing and don't even bother understanding why their 'victim' is playing that bad, in their opinion. Change my mind. I bet you can't.

People, really, stop flaming, OK? I know calling your 1/23 midlaner a 'B5 idiot', but stop. You know NOTHING about the reason behind their seemingly horrible plays.

Maybe that 'inting' midlaner suddenly had a ping spike and now, despite being called 'idiot, dumbass, troll' by you, he's still trying to do his best and hold his tower even at 800ms. He knows he is going to die because he can't dodge anything, but he's doing his best. Even if he keeps giving enemies 59G, he's still protecting your damn base.

Maybe that inting midlaner is playing against a booster. I have played countless normal games with my D4 friend, he enjoyed stomping Goldies like me, and this is NOT FUN. Maybe those Goldies were really good for their league, they were trying to do their best, and then my D4 amigo comes and ruins their game. If your teammate is 2/11 that doesn't mean he is bad. Stomps are real. Smurfs are real. Counterpicks are real. So delete your 'go afk idiot feeder' from the chat, please.

Maybe your inting midlaner is really trolling. OK, I DO ENCOURAGE YOU TO REPORT HIM AFTER THE GAME, write a ticket, whatever. But just don't flame, okay? You DON'T know for sure if he's trolling for fun, or he simply had such a good game where he played so damn well, then someone on his team decided to sabotage his carry plan and he lost. A lot of players troll out of tilt, because they're too angry to try their best after doing this and still losing. Inting is a horrible revenge strategy, but still, don't judge. Report them, don't flame. You are just MAKING THINGS WORSE.

TL;DR: STOP FLAMING. THINK BEFORE YOU PRESS ENTER. You never know the reason behind your teammate's mistakes.

Don't stab an already bleeding wound

But that is exactly what a toxic person wants to do?

Why stop flaming? Just because you think it will lead to a negative 100% of the time? Flame being positive/neutral/negative is dependant on the victim's mentality.

For example flame in Korea mostly either results in a positive/neutral affect. While flame in NA mostly either results in a negative/neutral affect.

Its all dependent on mentality

the problem with posts like this is that they will get lost in the spam of "why you ban me rito?" by tomorow and the majority of people who manage to read it in the meantime will either encourage the sentiment or downvote you/ignore you. Hardly anyone will change their thought pattern because of it.

I'm gonna flame the morons, the idiots, and the stupidity some people have. I have no choice to. Who else is gonna show the Veigar midlaner that the build he isn't doing is optimal for damage output at any capacity late game with his Protobelt and Twin Shadows? Who else is gonna tell the Ornn fucking jungler that it probably isn't a good idea? While I like the idea, the fact is that Ornn has bad camp clear early to mid, his utility as a jungler is very narrow and his kit doesn't match that as a jungler, and his ganks have to be damn near perfect to be of use as a jungler. Who else will tell the Yi that certain items make him pretty damn good instead of buying a BORK, Statik Shiv, or even a Sterak's? Because I have seen every bit of that in Silver. It's half the reason I'm stuck in Silver. You cannot carry one bad teammate down there, unless you have 2 good teammates. Some people need to be told things to understand them because it ruins the games for others. Otherwise, I'm gonna make an alt account and run Blitzcrank AP as jungler, which is my worst role to play, and play ranked for that matter.
