This is why you don't accept friend requests from people who flame you in game and post-lobby chat. They'll say worse things and even tell you to hang yourself. Remember - there is no monitoring and no punishment for being extremely abusive in personal chat.
This player also joined my queue, no doubt to try and hard int my game once it started.
Stay safe out there, summoners. Don't talk to strangers.

These people are all mentally ill, probably bipolar or very serious aggression or anger issues and are in DIRE need of therapy.
Sad but true. Another friend on my list told me a large number of league players have various levels of mental illness or issues. And the community and the stress of a long boring game when you're losing just makes things worse.
Russian Doll1 votesHmm.yes. The more they play, the worse it is. I had a bipolar friend, when she was in a down phase shed play 18-19h/ day +incredibly toxic
Dıana Main1 votesIt seems like you are stereotyping people with mental illness as being inherently toxic. Let's not blame poor behavior on mental illness. I am someone who has been dealing with mental health for a very long time. It is a choice to be toxic, mentally ill or not. People can get angry during a game and never hit enter to talk. I've gotten upset and never afk'd or intentionally fed. Poor behavior is a choice, and is not caused by mental illness. Most people who get chat restricted, suspended, or banned, come onto these boards to claim they didn't deserve it, not because they are "crazy" and don't realize that what they did was wrong, but because they have a different mindset that justifies their behavior. Their logic and reasoning that because someone trolled in their game first, they get to. Or someone was toxic to them so they can do it back. Someone on their team was playing badly so calling them "useless" was constructive criticism. It is a not a psychological disorder, but a learned behavior that they probably picked up in their childhood, or from their parents. It is a mindset that needs to be unlearned, not through therapy or medication, but through self-reflection and growth. Therapy may help with this, but it is not caused by a mental illness.
My mental illness causes more intense emotional reactions, which you would think would lead to several instances of toxic behavior and punishments. I was chat restricted once, for telling a griefing player to "learn to read" and called him "bronze." That was my decision, and I have since dealt with the consequences, and I am much more aware of how I use my language in game now. More often than not, my mental illness has caused me to play badly after someone was toxic to me. Someone calls me "useless" and I am suddenly feeling like trash and playing like trash. When people choose to be toxic, it ruins the experience for everyone. Including the mentally ill.

Actually there is. The private chat is on record too. The reason riot doesn't care for it is because accepting the friend request was YOUR decision.
Karunamon2 votesYou heard it here first, folks. Abusive chat is okay even though you had no way of knowing the intentions of the person that added you.
Voldymort1 votesif you had no way of knowing why an in-game flamer would add you after the game then you deserve your fate
ViralSurvival1 votesDid in and post game chat not indicate they might have some unsavoury things to say to you? If there was absolutely no indication, block and move on, its just text on a screen from someone you have never and will never have meaningful interaction with. If there was some harsh words noted in the game chat why on earth accept the friend request?
Phoenixdust2 votesBut people love attention.
If you love attention, you should accept all of these requests, so you can come on Boards to cry how offended you got from a stranger's words, and all the white knights will help you recover your self esteem, and assure you how a great person you are and all these toxic guys are mentally ill, subhumans who is not worth to think about, so once again, you can feel great that you are better than those "trash flamers".
Or at least this is what i see in these kind of posts all the time :)
So here's your portion since you are clearly thriving for this: "You are a good person, with great morals, and everyone can have bad games, you should not care about these mentally ill haters :\ The community would be better without them, you should try to submit a support ticket, but sadly Rito usually does not care about PMs, they do not censor the communication enough. But most importantly the community loves you!"

Hocker1 votesThis is why i barely accept friend requests anyway. I send them, and I try to make sure it's to people who play the game like I do
Oleandervine1 votesGenerally people who are like this have said shit during the game, and usually get in an argument with you, hence why they friend request you. You can generally tell when someone is trying to friend you to shit talk you, so that's why I never accept requests after bad games.
Telephone Booth1 votesI know people say "get a life" over some dumb shit that has nothing to do with having a life, but it seems like the perfect advice you could have given this weirdo. Bragging about his league rank lmao.
The Öutcast1 votesI literally just leave them to rot, it's like a trophy case for me.
FioraWillCarry1 votesI wish people would add me after games so I could tell them what I really think without consequences. Lucky you.
Malefic Reality1 votesI always laugh because those people just have nothing else more important in their life that they have to add a complete stranger to prove a point. Like bruh, go play another match or something, leave me alone lmaooo.
