What Triggers You?

So often this board is littered with people crying about bans, let's shift gears to another aspect of player behaviour.

What bad teammate behavior ticks you off most in games? Surely the blame game and insults during a bad match can be a big one, but I'm talking more about the gameplay.

Personally, what gets me angry the most is absentee junglers. You know the type...they never leave their camp path. Enemy jung is active around the map, pressuring lanes, taking dragons, scuttlers, Herald. You beg for your Jung to ward, to gank anywhere, to contest objectives....and finally after twenty minutes, two lost dragons, and all outer turrets gone they join team fights and perhaps even whine they can't do anything.

I hate this with a passion. Your job isn't to win my lane for me, no, but its not to hide in your own jungle and give the enemy jungler free reign of all neutral space!

I get triggered when I get teammates that troll pick their position, constantly disconnect, or have terrible winrates ~35% -

To counter the absentee jungler.. I hate people that blame everyone but themselves. Usually it's the jungler (it is NOT their job to win your lane, nor can they prevent enemy ganks on your lane) and support.

This is a good one I forgot to include. There are times to call people out for not doing their jobs, and times to admit you screwed up and not expect someone else to make up for it.

My trigger is people who snipe ranking to win an arguement, whether or not its valid

Well, that's forum bs, something else entirely.

My biggest trigger is people who can't break out of the "HAVE TO WIN" mentality long enough to just have some fun -- it makes the wins AND the losses so much better when you're playing with people just happy to be playing.

Absentee junglers who don't communicate is a close second though!

For me, the "Must Win" mentality is OK for ranked, but some people take unranked stuff like ARAM, rotating modes, or blind pick games way too seriously.

He's right.

I think that applies mostly in normals really. In rank you got to have that mentality I mean it is competitive where you're wasting over 20 minutes in the game for a match.

I don't care what the enemies are saying to me, but when MY TEAMMATE seems like they only play ranked to tilt me, their own teammate, that really grinds my gears...

What TRIGGER me is people keep asking for reports

Using the term triggered. Like a bunch of psychopathic robots, just triggered into a rage.

If someone has to resort to name-calling or calling others "retarded" rather than actually playing, that's when I start not having fun with this game.

My climb to 30 has been overall miserable since level 1 as a result.

The times I've been most irritated with rude replies and chat is when you try to make a constructive suggestion. Poppy is struggling against Maokai and you suggest rushing Visage over grinding out a full Triforce first, suggest the ADC build damage rather than finish a second Zeal item, etc...and they get lippy about it. Even times when it's clearly phrased in an effort to be helpful and not critical, some people get way too prickly.

Half sentences used alone. Example being the thread I've seen before this one: "How bad doublelift really is?". English isn't even my mother language but this kind of butchery triggers the shit out of me.

I don't want to use the word triggered per se. I would rather use something like aggravated.

I get aggravated at afkers, flamers and trolls.

Usually I'm able to keep pretty calm and lead my team as best I can despite people like that.

Oh I almost forgot! Watching someone make the same mistake over and over without learning from it. (Like face checking a bush and enemy Garen is sitting in there)
