Thank you for having manners

Catastrophic··45 votes·1,916 views

I just played a game with a wonderful team, we had yasuo top vs teemo, annie mid vs syndra, mf & karma vs ashe&lux bot, and finally sejuani(me) vs gragas in jungle. Halfway through the game annie became 1-6. I braced for flaming, cursing, passive agression, but nothing, no one said anything. Which was odd considering I got flamed for being 0/3 in the previous game. Then, Teemo became 0/5, which caused gragas to say "report teemo noob". "I'm only reporting you for saying that" I replied. "I was just about to say that" said Yasuo "He's 0/5" said gragas "Annie is 1/6 but no one's flaming here" said MF After a while teemo thanked us and said mid and jgl were flaming him. We won the game after many exchanges with gragas (we didn't flame him, just told him not to). The past few days the toxicity of the community has been really getting to me. But that game my faith was restored. So thank you MAB Yeradus (yasuo) and Sennonegai (MF) for having great manners.

How can they be the one to flame when they're the ones that go 0/10 95 percent of the time ?

They blame everyone else for them feeding, and say things like 'trash jg no ganks.' Basically, they don't accept their own mistakes and try to blame everyone else for them.

How can Annie not be the one that's flaming, for that matter? She's literally a fire mage.

Unless she was using frostfire annie

Not always... only when they're 0/1/0 early on. I kid, I kid.

I'll not deny, the community of League can be exceedingly toxic at times, which is the primary reason I avoid playing League when I do not have a strong inclination to do so. That said, there are some times when good people, polite people, show up. They are there to have fun playing a game, even when things look bad.

One of my fondest experiences was in Team Builder, where me and three complete strangers were waiting more than twenty minutes for a Support, and in that time we amused ourselves by being completely pompous idiots. Someone noticed my name and summoner icon, deciding to write in an exceedingly formal and archaic tone. Soon, everyone was doing it.

"I say, good sir, this wait is too long." "Indeed, old chap, Riot needs more incentives to play support."

And even once we found a Support, we kept it going in game, in /allchat, just to mess around.

"A gank!? How rude, good sir!" "Indeed! Very rude!" "Indubitably!"

"Viktor, old chap, would you like Blue?" "I would indeed, Volibear, if you would be so kind." "With pleasure!" "Much obliged!"

The fact that we won was just icing on the cake; my best game ever played in League.

That sounds hilarious actually! Kind of wish I was in that game too :P I love friendly banter like that with other players.

I usually just make jokes to help lighten the mood in /all chat for both teams. Some people catch on though I know my humor is quite dry.

Still though, I enjoyed your story :D Sounds like it was a great time.

It was a very great game! The atmosphere was so jovial that even when one of us made mistakes, incredibly stupid ones mind you, no one bothered calling it out. We somehow reached a mutual understanding that none of us were perfect, we were going to screw up eventually, so when it happened we just let it slide. I vaguely remember the enemy team getting in on the fun too, though not as much.

I feel the need to point out that this game was one in a million, bad games where teammates flame one another or end in a stomp are far more common, which causes the good games to stand out, even when it results in victory. Losing feels bad, but winning isn't satisfying when everyone is mean to each other.

I understand don't worry :) Bad games do happen, but it's always better to remember the good ones and reward those than to fume about that bad ones. At least that's how I am. I only remember 2 really bad players I had when it came to behavior, but mostly because they attacked my friends at the time.

Outside of those I usually remember my more positive games and the positive allies and enemies I play with~ Though I do play with 1-2 friends + my fiance at a time, so perhaps I just see less of the bad and more of the good. To each their own.

But I do always try to honor allies and opponents that were friendly in games :) Even if they don't mean much I like to think they get happy when they see the popup that says "Someone honored you!"

Actually just looking at the behavior of reddit Yasuo mains when we are talking about balance changes I start to understand why the boards are so butthurt about them

Troll for Trump3 votes

But.. the PB &M/ Red posts say that threatening to report is toxic...

Therefore, you and the Yas are toxic.(or passive-aggressive, since that's toxic too)

Bad system.

Very bad. Bigly. Nasty system.

Really glad to hear you had a positive experience! :) Players like that make the game very enjoyable, so it makes me happy to know there are others out there making the games fun :D

I hope you continue getting those positive players in your future games~ And who knows, maybe we'll be queued together one day :)

Ya I've had games where I fall behind but come back late game and I always thank my team for not flaming me when I was doing poorly. It really does help someone stay in the game and come back if you just don't rag on em for "feeding".

You'll be surprised how easily your faith in LoL's community can break
