People say they are going to report me cause i said "thats a bad play you mad" or "next time you shouldnt do that cause you fed top lane"? So then some one says i am going to report you for "bm" and i am like, "umm i didnt do any thing" i just told you what you did wrong and you shouldnt do that next time, you agree with me? Any ways i just wanted to know what is reportable because i guess i am very toxic to people, which i am not cause i dont want to get ban cause who doesnt right i mean i spent over 200 dollors in this game so why would i right? So you can trust me that i am not toxic. So i am getting side track tell me in the comments what is toxic and what you can get reported by cause i am scared i might get banned or some thing and i never got reported before . thank you.

It is all in the phrasing and wording. Sometimes something innocent could be mistaken for BM.

Players typically know when them make a mistake or screw up. And commenting on it, even if you only meant to help will often frustrate them. Generally it is safer to just focus on your own play and use pings to communicate.

However, sometimes you come across players that are constantly making bad plays, playing without vision, wandering the jungle without backup, bad positioning, or a whole number of things. In those circumstances it might be appropriate to make a comment. But be careful how it comes across.

Rather then saying, Hey Top, buy a f#%@ ward and stop pushing idiot, try saying "We could use some more wards top, otherwise toplane will keep getting ganked." In doing that you are raising awareness without making the toplaner feel like a target.

Rather then telling a person to stop feeding and play better give them an option of how to do that. Such as, "Hey try to play alittle safer until we are able to get up and support your lane. We will have a better chance together." This shifts the responsibility off of just the one player and makes it a team effort.

As a general rule never tell a player what they are doing is wrong or bad. If they are playing a champions abilities wrong tell them a better way to use them. If they are making bad decisions give them a better option, and include the whole team.

And remember as long as you aren't cheating, trolling, are rude, harassing, or putting down a teammate then reports against you won't mean anything.

Most players in league are shit players, telling them they suck is perfectly fine. Not everyone deserves a trophy. You don't need to be kind of they are feeding you out of the game. It is not your responsibility to educate them, it is Riots job to match you with players of similar skill, unfortunately you are fucked and will get trash players constantly. Good thing there are more and more MOBAS that are coming online. Reports will happen as will games where either you are the trash player or others are. I suggest not playing until later in the season when the rankings are pretty sorted, the first of the season is always a fuckfest in matchmaking.
