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
because my main (Master Yi
) 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
) and not being able to catch up. My team's ad carry (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
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
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]
