What is actually considered toxic?
Honestly what is considered toxic?
Honestly what is considered toxic?
The first rule of toxicity is: The dose makes the poison
Harassment, of any kind.
Example: "You're so bad, Yi." "0/8 Bot lane losing the game for us."
Hate speech, slurs.
I'm not posting examples for this here, Google it if you must know.
Encouraging self harm.
"Kys"
Edit: I forgot to add:
Lobbying for reports
Trolling/inting
Threatening to afk or int is also a no no.
What about telling someone to stop feeding?
That all depends on your tone.
Not okay: "stop feeding the LeBlanc, ape"
Okay: "seems you're having some trouble against LeBlanc, you should probably play safer or do you want to swap lanes with me?"

so not the truth but manipulation works... pffff
It's not manipulation, it's helpful advice that isn't threatening of offensive in nature.
Let's,put it this way: You can be right or you can win the game, which would you rather?

listen... every form of gentle advice in order to win is listed as psycological manipulation .... dont try to change facts... also only care about winning mekes u hopeless
Has anyone ever told you you are god awful at trolling? Don't quit your day job lol.
Manipulation isn't always a bad thing.
I manipulate women into liking me and sleeping with me. I'm a good guy, there's nothing wrong with them sleeping with me, but it is still manipulation because I'm trying to manipulate the way they think of me.
Read mine. That would be pointing out a negative trait in another player, and is considered toxic. An alternative is, hey try to play safe we can win late if we don't give them kills. Or "let's just focus on objectives, don't go for kills"

Being a jerk.
Honestly what is considered toxic?
According to RIOT, only flaming. At least that is the perception. Even if most flaming is caused by the many other things that are toxic, like frequent AFK/DC, leaving, trolling, intentional feeding, "it's only normals", etc. It goes to show you how pathetic leadership is in society today.

Nope, wrong. But nice try with your fake news propaganda. :P

Maybe you just need to understand what perception means.
I know quite well what perception means. Riot does nothing to encourage the perception that trolling/inting is less toxic than flaming. In fact, Riot doles out escalated 14 day bans for accounts found to be trolling/inting. Maybe you perceive Riot to be more lenient toward trolls. You can't claim to know what the entire community perceives as a whole though, unless you're omnipotent.

Rarely do you see or hear anyone being punished for anything other than flaming. That is the perception that does in fact exist and was created by RIOT with the poor discipline system they have. I am sorry you don't see this. But, that's your right.
Agree to disagree because I think your opinion is wrong, so more power to you wasting your time trying to justify it because it falls on deaf ears.
Inters and trolls don't come on here often and complain about getting banned because usually the evidence is stacked against them pretty hard. That's why it seems that they get punished less than toxic chatters.
Inters know they will get laughed out of here if they present their case while flamers always have the excuse that they were reacting to inters/trolls, so they think they can present their case and depend on the empathy of the boards users to get a leg up.
Yeah but there's a lot of reasons for that. People who are toxic in chat tend to be more emotional and egotistical. They will fight their punishment and feel they've been wronged more often than someone who is trolling. Because trolling is fun to them, they know they're trolling, so why come make a thread on how they were wrongly banned? Toxicity stems from an emotion. Trolling stems from an idea. The idea is that it will be fun to piss other people off. The emotion is anger and hatred. Who is more likely to make a thread after they get banned? I would think the one who acted on an impulse. This of course is all just speculation and I am no psychologist, but I think it makes sense.
I performed an experiment after 10 minutes of bashing while playing a ranked game. I was hoping for the opposite reaction of what I was given. I mentioned I am slightly suicidal and asked if I should kill myself. Three of the other summoners said I should, while the summoner playing Lee Sin was trying to calm the negative attitude of the others. I'm so appalled that such behavior is occurring. Formerly being suicidal prone in the past, their agreement would have pushed me over the edge.
Usually when someone is prone to suicide, means they're in a dark place in their life and due to their mental mind set altering their perception of reality(seeing everything negative and nothing positive), more than likely, just a few simple words could bring about the end of someone's life. I hope this is the last case scenario, but unfortunately I've lost a friend to suicide just from negative words spoken to them.
Please let us put a stop to this before it even starts, if it hasn't already.
Your words are like the finger on the trigger of a gun, someone's holding to their head. What do you think you should do?
No. Words are in no way going to blow your brains out. Stop spreading this leftist propaganda. YOU have power over words. You GIVE them power. Just stop. Magnifying the cruelty and importance of words is only going to result in more suicides. They think; "wow words are bad, they aren't supposed to say these things! Everyone says how bad it is to say fa66t, yet they keep calling me one. Omg. This is terrible! What can I do?!" Because no one tells them they re just words. No one says hey, they don't mean anything man. Ignore it! We instead make it worse by saying that's the worst thing ever! They aren't supposed to say that to you, they hurt!! How does that fucking help? Stop with the sensitivity encouragement. It's not helping anyone. Kids will always verbally abuse people. We can't tell em that words are powerful and should hurt.
I'm sorry, I was just writing from my heart. The concerned citizen that I am worries for others. I have diagnosed anxiety and had an anxiety attack when this occurred. It got to the point where it was hard to even breath.
Now on the logical and factual perspective, if you want to break the law that's fine with me. Because in the United States Cyber Harassment and Cyber Bullying is a crime punishable by law.
Here's the definition to clarify any confusion on what's Cyber Harassment.
Cyber Harassment is the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to harass, control, manipulate or habitually disparage a child, adult, business or group without a direct or implied threat of physical harm.
Yes, habitually. Thing is, I care a lot too. We just have different solutions. You seem to want to focus on how serious and dangerous words are. I want to focus on how harmless and ignorable they are. I want people to go back to the days of 'sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me.
I'm not sure of your age, but I am 30, and things were so much better when I was a kid. The PC movement hadn't really taken off yet, and suicides were a relatively new phenomenon. Of course they happened, but not near the numbers we are seeing today. Which is weird, because today, we are well educated on how nasty words can be. What is the result of teaching kids that bad words are harmful and have a lot of meaning? Kids taking them A LOT more seriously. So when they see these words, they take it so seriously that they don't know what to do. No one helps them, because we cant. If we want to help them, we would tell them the opposite of what everyone else is teaching them (that words hurt). So they re just even more confused.
I totally understand that your heart is in the right place. I just disagree on your method of trying to sweep these things under the rug, just telling people not to say em. That doesn't do anything. Kids will always say them. So do something that will help the victims, not just try to deter the offenders. That will do NOTHING.
In all actuality, the age difference is only by four years, and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I just don't want anyone to end up paying for a crime, because of something they said over the internet.
And yes words do hurt more for some people, while others just can brush it off. I guess that makes me the emotional one. I'm sorry if I came off as rude. I just wanted to let people know, before this becomes even stricter.
Please do have a good day.
Hey, you too. I'm sorry if I came off rude as well. I can't help but throw in a "fuckin" here and there. Just a bad habit that can be taken as me being disrespectful or something. Not the intention.
Also, I do understand that perhaps you are a lot closer to the issue, being formerly suicidal... so maybe I should just keep my mouth shut. It's just I can't help but feel like everyone is missing this correlation between the PC culture, and suicide rates rising. I have to speak about it, perhaps I could do so less aggressively.
Do you at least understand my point? Like do you kind of see the correlation and does it make sense? Or is this just ignorant babble to you? I'm really curious.
Have a good one!
I'm pretty sure toxicity is chat that is meant to belittle, demean, or point out negative traits in another player. I'm pretty sure it only refers to chat, unlike trolling.

Any negative behavior is toxic, not just in chat. It includes everything that I said and also I believe is the fuel that causes alot of flaming. These acts go unchecked for the most part because we still see a ton of it in all our games, especially AFK's that can be proven, yet get slapped on the wrist, when they actually get punished.
Ahh okay maybe I have to change my stance on that. I always thought of it as; toxicity is chat. Trolling is actions. It's just more simple that way. If you define toxicity so broadly, it's harder to determine. I've pissed people off in games before, I'm sure. They would probably accuse me of being toxic, when in fact, I just didn't know what to do in that specific situation. I did the wrong thing in his mind, and that makes me the toxic person, and him the victim of my toxicity. That's a pretty tough thing for a third party to look at and figure out who was toxic. I'm an innocent person, new to the game, playing it poorly. He is a veteran player, flaming me for being "toxic". That's too difficult to determine. Then again, you could just replace toxic with troll and it's the same situation still.... so I guess Nevermind hahaha that scenario has no point. I just think it's easier if we stick to toxicity=chat, trolling=actions. Simplicity.

Any negative action = toxicity.
There is no difference between flaming and all the other things mentioned except RIOT can't fix most of it because they don't want to put in the effort. They don't want to put it into the players hands which is exactly what needs to be done. All forms will be abusable to some extent. That is why the punishments need to be more severe and come much faster.
They do put it in players hand to some extent, in that we report for things and the system changes punishable offenses based on what players report. Unfortunately, I disagree with a lot of what players report for. I wish people would just suck it up and play when someone fucks up on their team.
The only reason I agree with chat restricts and punishments for toxic chat is because I don't want games filled with people tilting their own team and holding debates in the middle of a game. I don't think anyone can deny that people lose focus on the the game, like keeping track of enemies on the minimap and timers of things, when theyre trying to convince someone that they're garbage at the game. I don't like that saying certain terms holds higher degrees of punishment, but I do think people who talk too much and focus on a player, instead of the game, should be taken out. That's beside the point, I just wanted to show you where I'm coming from.
Anyways, I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I can't think of an action in game that is toxic, that couldn't just be described as trolling. We don't need 2 definitions for trolling. If someone is "toxic" through gameplay, like stealing your cs or following jungle around taking camps, they are trolling.

I agree with chat restrictions too. They need to hand out equal punishments for the other things which they can prove, which is those that frequent the LPQ. Start banning them on their 4th trip.
Also, stealing farm is griefing not trolling but it too is toxic.
I love finding common ground xD haha but anyways, perhaps I'll just concede and take your word for it. I'm pretty new to video game terminology, since I'm a pretty casual gamer. So maybe you know more about this than I do.
i know how to know a person when there toxic they might have divorced parents that treat them like shit or there just insecure
