I said that once, and funny enough the guy flaming, started to full on rage at myself, my team, and for some reason the enemy team, it was a funny experience.

I do believe he got banned, because myself and one of my teammates I added after the game got a message saying so and so was punished.

What if they say ''reverse''? :^)

It would work if they didn't soft int. I end up posting about the games state and how easy it is to snowball and how its pointless to try and win with a teamate that fed two kills. I never cared about that before, but riot has fcked up this game so much that 2 kills worth of gold is enough to steamrole you once and then snowball the rest of the game.

If they soft int and everyone acts like they don't give a shit, then they have way less power. Trolls only int to ruin your game, or to get their way by taking what they think is most precious; your LP. When I four man and we get a troll, we just pretend to go along with it and the guy usually reforms really quickly, and some even apologize for tilting. If not, we just do our best to carry and have fun.

It's like having your kid getting taken hostage in front of you, and then you're like "Meh not my kid, not my problem." Kidnapper loses most of his influence and power.

Riiight.... thats why I see streamers all the time going "now i dont wanna take that fight because if I die, ill give up bounty gold and ruin my entire lead". Ive won a few games from behind already this season, and I dont even play much ranked. There are plenty of ways to come back from behind, some being strategic choices, and some being literally built-in anti-snowballing mechanics. Plus some people get ahead because they are just better. It shouldnt be easy to come back against a better opponent who has gold advantage over you.

This counters the point of the post. So you're saying they should react to the flamer to stop him from getting mad?

We both have different chances of getting punished, based on the severity of the flame and the consistency of flame from past games.

I'm thick skinned, and flame helps me enjoy the game because it is entertaining.

Anecdotal evidence, nice! Well I flame almost regularly and i haven't been permabanned in over 4 years, hell i had honor 4 last season. And i see tons of people in Reddit claim the system is easy to bypass.

True.

Not really true unless it's excessive typing.

So i don't use any zero tolerance words?

Flaming isn't really bad to an extent.

Why the hell do i care about my teammate's sympathy?

Sweetie Who hurt you

This counters the point of the post. So you're saying they should react to the flamer to stop him from getting mad?

why does it matter to you if they stop or not? you have a mute button. use it!

and "chances"means neither "more"or "less" likely

I'm thick skinned, and flame helps me enjoy the game because it is entertaining.

that's not what "thick skinned" means

Anecdotal evidence, nice! Well I flame almost regularly and i haven't been permabanned in over 4 years, hell i had honor 4 last season. And i see tons of people in Reddit claim the system is easy to bypass.

so you claim anecdotal evidence is meaningless and then procede to counter with your own... anecdotal evidence

hea meant "over the whole game"

Flaming isn't really bad to an extent.

we'll agree to disagree on that one

Why the hell do i care about my teammate's sympathy?

for the same reason you care about their apathy when you flame for "entertainment"reasons: ego

Im with you all he way man. "Teammates' sympathy.. Like wtf is that? If my teammates had any sympathy they wouldve said something to the guy the instant he said something. Most of the times you stay quiet people take it as its okay to flame this guy. So they'll do something near your lane die then flame you for not moving and start shit talking and soon you're being flamed by 4 people instead of 1. Hell i can bait people into using zero tolerance words by jungling and just farming my jungle until laning phase ends its that easy. Instead of trying to tell the responder to the flamer hes wrong for responding tell the flamer to break his keyboard.

Everyone knows people get banned for toxicity. No one gets banned for inting. Lol.

My friend got a 20 minute LPQ for doing poorly as Cait in one game :v (Wasn't inting, but iirc he was like 0/12 with wrong items)

Flamers need to be put in their place to learn their lesson.

and you think flaming them back will do that?

[sg-miss-fortune] [sg-miss-fortune] [sg-miss-fortune] no

They usually don't get punished, and hoping that they will is just pathetic.

and you know they don't because these boards are completely barren of such people, right?

[slayer-jinx-wink]

If an asshole ruins my day, I take great pleasure in ruining his right back.

but what about the other 3 people on your team? what did they do to deserve this?

Trust me, they don't. If they did, I wouldn't get them in nearly all of my games.

the posts on these boards counter your argument

If Riot won't defend me by punishing people who refuse to help their allies, or feed their hyper carry and then laugh at you when you ask them nicely to stop, then I guess I have to take matters into my own hands.

riot does defend you. they gave you a mute button. why aren't you using it?

It's definitely worth my time to tell an asshole what an asshole he's being.

isn't that a bit redundant?

It accomplishes making the game-destroyers feel small, which they are. They are small pieces of trash that should be stepped on.

how do you know they feel small?

Of course, they are, that's why they need to be taught a lesson.

and of course, they'll acknowledge your intelectual superiority the moment you start typing

How many times I've KINDLY asked people to please play defensive or please don't feed. I can assure you from experience, it does not work. They just feed more. Asking the support to actually support is even worse. They prefer to stand there and leech exp while you die.

this may come as a shock but the universe doesn't revolve around you. people are just as entitled to not listen to you as you are to not listen to them

Personally I think that people who think their opinions are so valuable that theyre teaching lessons by sharing their opinions of people, are pathetic. What an arrogant belief. you seriously think you've taught anyone a lesson by flaming them? Get real.

do you need to move chat every game or it needs to be done only once ? I think I tried this one time, but for some reason I didn't like it.
