Toxic Behavior in Unranked Games

Lately I've been encountering more and more toxic players in my games. Note these games are not ranked so there would be no reason for people to give you attitude (not that they should be doing that in ranked) since the games have no affect on your profile in a permanent way. People lately have been acting like losing is such a big deal and players that are bad at the game should be banned forever.

Recently I played a jungle draft game as Xin Zhao XinZhao because my main (Master Yi MasterYi ) was banned by the opposing team. I had never played Xin Zhao ever in my life so I had no idea what i was doing. I ended up accidentally feeding the enemy jungler (Lee Sin LeeSin ) and not being able to catch up. My team's ad carry (Jhin Jhin ) was joking about me being bad in a lighthearted manner which, if done without intention of hurting me, I don't mind. But our team's midlaner, an ahri Ahri was mocking me lightheartedly at first because i was doing bad (and i admit i was doing bad). But then they proceeded to threat me and tell me how bad i was at the game and that i should uninstall and stop playing forever. I do not like getting beat down by people so i proceeded to reply (a bad decision on my part) which just escalated the situation. They proceeded to insult me and tell me to leave the game because they did not want to deal with me. At the end i just gave up and didn't say anything. After another comment that they made they just stopped talking and we proceeded to defend (but still lose) our nexus in peace.

In another game I was playing with a midlaner Fizz Fizz that accidentally fed the enemy midlaner and proceeded to die many more times. They ended up grieving and giving up because they had a bad game while other people on the team were doing good. They annoyed us and kept telling us so give up and surrender but we didn't. As a result of that they started inting and feeding the enemy more. I'm not sure what the outcome of that game was but i know we didn't have as bad as a game that Fizz was making it out to be.

I know that there isn't much that can be done about these players but i just wanted to bring it to the attention of the Riot crew. I'll end this with saying I hope that the game will have more friendly players in the future. Peace :) [slayer-jinx-catface]

Sorry that happened. I do play mostly normals lately, and ya, you still see toxic players there.

No offense but no one really has to be nice to you and no one has an obligation to treat you well, we expect people to treat each other with decency but in reality sometimes people just won't and it's something you've got to get used to when you're on the internet. Be that as it may I'm sorry that you had a bad experience, I know it can be really hard when you're messing up and everyone just wants to beat you down, I know me telling you to mute them probably won't mean much to you but if you do and you get into the habit of muting people when you start to do bad before they can start blaming you it really helps trust me and you'll leave each game feeling better than what you would have felt if you had an entire team beating you down for your mistakes.

Much love Tiffany
