What about the toxicity caused by playing champs they don't have a mastery on or troll pick for roll

Sexy Biologist··2 votes·348 views

It is highly infuriating to end up with people choosing off-meta, troll picks (like anivia "adc), and champs where they have no mastery or are "first timing it" in ranked. They then feed the enemy team and if they don't afk they're not punished. Being a support main, it also causes a lot of toxicity when adcs don't know how to cs and then proceed to buy cull and then not only continue to fail at csing and refuse to group. There are also "junglers" that never gank and run to the opposite side of the map when an objective spawns. They also flame you when you get camped all game but that somehow doesn't count as toxicity. There needs to be a report button for this

I think you're looking for a "I'm salty" button rather than a legitimate report button.

That makes 0 sense. It's a team game and ranked is a competition. By pulling those kind of stunts you hurt your team several fold: 1. You're funneling gold into the enemy team which is worse than an afk 2. You are a resource drain. If you were talking about norms, sure. But this is ranked.

And by that logic I should totally play raka or nami top. Who cares if the toplaner gets fed right? It's only plat

You don't get to dictate how others play the game. There is no team captain, there is no "boss" role.

This is not punishable in any shape or form. Ever since Season 3, when I started, (and I bet money this extends all the way to Beta version as well) there has NEVER been any restricted pool of champs that are allowed to play in a particular role. You have always been able to pick any champ to go into any role without fear of punishment whatsoever since Season 3 (and I bet since Beta as well). This is how "new meta" champs are discovered. SOMEONE had to take that MF in support role or Shen in support role initially and frequently to prove that they can work. Forget about ranked, these champs are played in support role in the highest levels of play, the LCS, LPL, LCK, etc.

champs where they have no mastery or are "first timing it" in ranked

Having mastery on a champ is not an indication that you are any good at the champ. People may be practiced with that champs in bots, customs, pbe, in other accounts. People may have limited pool of champs they play well but either banned or picked forcing them to pick someone they are less used to not by their choice.

They then feed the enemy team

This is entirely depends on whether it is intentional or not. I'm sure you've had games where you absolutely murdered top/mid/bot/jg, whichever position you played. Looking back at those shiny high kda of yours, does that mean the opponent(s) you obliterated should be punished just because you played really well that game???

Being a support main, it also causes a lot of toxicity when adcs don't know how to cs and then proceed to buy cull and then not only continue to fail at csing and refuse to group

Being bad at a game is not punishable in any shape or form. What you described here is not trolling, but simply being bad at the game. If we go by bad performance, perhaps both you and I will be banned due to games we may have dropped the ball in some point.

There are also "junglers" that never gank and run to the opposite side of the map when an objective spawns.

Ganking is not a requirement. It is up to the discretion of the jungler. Bad jungles do not know how to gank or gank properly, sure. But that's also not punishable in any way. Perhaps you should learn to jg if you continued to have this problem.

They also flame you when you get camped all game but that somehow doesn't count as toxicity.

Based on my personal experience, I have NEVER seen a jg flamed any laner(s) for being camped. Usually it is the laner(s) that flamed the jungler first for their own failure to play safe or ward and THEN the jungler will flame. Perhaps if you experience this, you may want to reflect on what you say to your jungler first.

There is no such thing as a troll pick in Riots eyes.

I just had a Tom Kench toplane. We were hardcore winning everywhere else and he was inting, bc- well, he's top kench top. We then grouped for team fighting. The Tom Kench brought nothing to the table and fed some more because "why would he play Tom Kench as a support. He's toplane". He funneled gold into the enemy team and literally contributed nothing. How is that not troll?

I guess once I level up and am safe I should definitely play raka top in your ranked game and super feed the darius or fiora or gnar or tryn (because I'm raka not bc I'm running it down) and then group and feed everyone else from their team because I'm toplaner and see how you feel.

I had a full ap gnar in one of my games. I've always wondered what ap zed or yas would be like. How about ap kalista. Ranked is the perfect place to try it, no?

You are allowed to play any champion in any lane. You are allowed to build any item on any champion.

If he was actually intentional feeding, he may get punished for that.

Alrighty. Well may I end up in one of your games and play ap zed. As long as it's not an intentional run it down feed (bc common sense isn't part of the game) then hey, who cares. It's your lp not mine.

I care. Riot doesn't care. I did nothing to you. Please don't hate on me.

You know TK is a top laner too, right?

In the same way karma and nami are. People should start playing them so they're listed as toplaners too. I'm going to start the ap zed train... I'm adding a car to the ap gnar train

Imperial Pandaa1 votes

Ap zed makes no sense because no ap scalings. I want to say Gnar has something that scales off ap so it might work.

TK kit can work just fine top lane. Karma is usually taken Mid over top though.

I am usually fine with a first time If your main and secondary get banned. I think the problem for me is when im in rank and someone asks for my role since they got autofill. Then proceed to grab a first time champion and feed. So yeah, Don't play a champion in a role they should not be doing unless you're some kind of god(those support garens for example are gods).
