What if you are toxic and you dont know it?

RivenTheExiIe·Jun 13, 2018·11 votes·6,537 views

I lost my honour 3-4 times. And I don't want riot to actually think I am toxic, like I would be silent and ok for a while. But when I am angry, ESPECIALLY AT SOLO QUE. I lose my stuff, sadly toplane has so many harassers that make you tilt hard. And what makes it worse is your team flaming you, what do you do? Are you gonna do what I did and flame them back and get banned for it? What I do I simply tell them before the game starts that I am gonna mute them and only keep their pings unmuted. I tell them In a nice way that I can not stop flaming and this is the way to fix it, since then I didn't have a problem losing my honour. The other part is the enemy team, talking to them has 0 benefits. Really nothing, just mute them if you have to. Do not get banned when you don't deserve it, we all tilt and start flaming its normal. Just have fun, ban urgot and go win some games. [sg-miss-fortune]

Doesn't that make riot ignore your reports? [sg-lux-2]

No, I've actually gotten more than a few players chat restricted over nothing and I continue to do so. The only way you're avoiding a chat restriction is by not typing at all.

Online gaming as been nothing but victims since they first started banning people on the way they talk.

I think people need to figure out its an ONLINE GAME that has DIFFERENT PEOPLE and DIFFERENT BELIEFS

This single mom stuff where everyone gets offended or reporting for what someone says is basically like a kid stuck up their mother's ass; THEY CALLED ME DUMB RIOT, IT HURTS MY FEELINGS.

Trashing talking is competitive I agree; demoralizing your opponents exists in every other sport and even the military uses words to demoralize.

The fact is it preys on those who are weak or with low resolve to gain the advantage, and it can even be used to manipulate the minds of a populace (politics).

As you can see, if you are hypersensitive and need a "safe space" you never grew beyond 10 years old in mentality.

People like that call other People "Sensitive", Yet they cant Play A SINGLE Game without devolving into a Man child and throwing a tantrum out of nowhere. People that Need to lash out on others Need to learn self Control. Kappa

But some people like me cant get that self control, so I just save my team and myself the effort and mute all and telling them nicely that I simply cant play with chat on because of it, does that make me toxic?

It's not that you can't. It's that you don't want to. There's a fondamental difference.

Not at all. You're recognising a problem and solving it efficiently. A better solution would be preferred long-term, but for now you're probably making the right choice.

Of course they cant, every other part of life is full of responsibilities. You have to stay straight at work, you have to put up with everyday people and traffic, then a relationship perhaps, then when you get home and want to play a game, its great for mental health to be able to let it all out.

The only people that need to act right in a game are not acting right outside the game; or they got some sort of support they depend on.

Hell people in the military are more immature than most when we finally allowed to, its how we got our frustrations out by doing dumb shit.

You people on here acting like yall perfect and sane but you really just a bunch of kids that got your feelings hurt when you tried it.

I feel like a lot of players should take an anger management course after their ban and have to show riot some sort of certification that they completed a real one. Those things are actually fairly enlightening.

Like did you know that anger is addictive and the more you burst out, the more "enjoyment" you get from doing it in the future. It releases reward chemicals when you do. Not only that, but your ability to resist outbursts weakens with each outburst so it's a double hammer. The more angry you become, the harder it is to resist the explosion and also the more likely you are to explode.

But, to make matters worse, each outburst rewards you less and less as you become desensitized to the reward chemicals and so each outburst grows in strength. This is true on small and large scales alike.

So not only are you more likely to rage the more you rage, the stronger each rage will become until unfortunate things happen.

You are suggesting that a banned player visitis a psychologist or something, put your name and shit on it and show it to Riot, just so you can get unbanned or get your Honor back? What the fuck dude, it's a fucking anonymous game.

I don't think that forcing people to seek help is a good course of action.

Giving them the option and encouragement to do so is certainly a good idea though.

Buddy, we are all different and we all have different breaking points. Me and Urgot for example, I simply can not lane without calling him so many racist stuff. What I would do is mute everybody to avoid it, I know I can not handle myself at some points so I simply avoid it. I am toxic, but I try not to be. Its ok if you can not stay calm vs people like urgot/Quinn etc.. But its your account that's gonna be banned, and to save you the extra tilt from the chat you turn it off. Also it'd be so dumb to just go to therapy to get your honour back, you are right about anger management and how it can be addictive. But doing it for the sake of league honour is just a big fat no. Do it for your actual mental health not for in-game looting system.

Banning players for chat + chat restrictions does nothing but damage the population as a whole, words are just that. A word only has as much power as you give it. Trash talking and competition go hand in hand, its a way to demoralize and get into your opponents head, look at mcgregor, mayweather, hell even ali and jordan; the greatest of their respective sports, they all talked trash. The only time it becomes unacceptable is when it is a legitimate threat or a racial slur. Is there a better way to demoralize the enemy team then calling them trash after an outplay? Killing your opponent and just rubbing it in how much better you are. This is the psychology of winning and there isnt a problem with it.
