Chronic Ranked Toxicity -- Mostly Venting Here

I just lost a game in ranked (Silver V) where 2 of my teammates spent most of the game telling me how bad I am and why did I build this or that first.

"ur bad"

"never build ie first"

I am an ADC main, and have been for a long time. And yet after one death 8 minutes into the game these two players had laser focus on me, spending the rest of the game telling me how supposedly bad I am and that I don't know how to build for ADC.

Mind you, all ADC players are feeling the pain right now, after this most recent patch completely changed things (Infinity Edge - 3700g now, for example).

I am sick and tired of every other game being a roll of the dice as far as getting grouped with toxic players who get completely tilted if your team gives up first blood or loses the first turret. They then focus only on the loss and continue to be demeaning, bringing down the entire team -- which can make everyone play worse.

You can tell who the better players are in these situations. They are the resilient ones who fight back tooth and nail and let go of the losses and focus on winning ONLY -- even when you have lost all your inhibitors and turrets.

I have won games where we lost everything and then still won simply because we stayed in the present moment focusing only on winning. All it takes is an ACE and a baron steal and the tide can change rapidly.

Just mute them. If they have nothing viable to say and just distracting you from the game, then why tolerate it? I can't see how players just tolerate it when they really have nothing helpful to offer. And "I can't mute them because then they can't communicate". Well, they aren't communicating in the first place. Mute them and just play the game. Don't tolerate it. You're here for competitive fun, not drama.

Raging at a player that isn't playing (or building) like you think they should is the easiest way to make that player play worse.

I'm really surprised that all of the "super knowledgeable" ragers running around the game can know every item build for every champ but still don't know that. It is probably one of the most commonly mentioned topics in all of the "how to win" videos you can find on youtube.

Yes, your Trynd rushed Rab's. Simply accept it, don't comment, and try to carry him. You would actually have a higher chance of winning than if you flamed him.

I wouldn't want my ADC to go 5min without a crit item when they have IE, too. Especially in Ranked.

The item doesn't give crit anymore. It doubles your crit. Don't build it without having at least a zeal please.

+1 guys; I get flame for rushing Rab on Garen, so I just mute and report at the end (after voting no to every FF). I'm so tired of these toxic trolls who don't let others be.
