1: Take a deep breath and review the complaint objectively.

This allows for you to grow as a player. They might not be telling you in the most constructive way, but that doesn't mean that you can't learn from player feedback.

2: Don't get into an argument over it.

What is done is done. Feeding the troll will almost certainly end up in the situation escalating. "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." -Mark Twain.

3: If the problem persists, there is a handy little mute button to press.

Just press it and all your troubles go away. 'But if I press that button it means that someone actually got to me. It is a sign of weakness! Plus I want to hear what else this rager has to say.' Welp, hope that works out for you refer to step 2 if you start to struggle.

I hope this step by step process is insightful and helpful. Please comment below on how you personally get those nasty flamers off your back.

Hence; League denies freedom of speech and having an opinion. Sorry, I talked. Don't report me; The sad part is that some Pre-mades are passive aggressive trolls and get players chat suspended on the premise they can. It doesn't matter if you were nice; Making constructive observations, and trying to raise the level of random players in your match; The minute you open your mouth, you've lost. Why does League even allow discussion during games if this is the approach they're taking? Lets just hold each others genitalia, and sing kum ba yah .

Hey I can understand the no swearing policy, but the fact of the matter is. You're being reported cause you had the nerve to talk. If riot doesn't want people to swear. Have the report section just be -- "profanity, harassment/misconduct, intentional feeding, cheating and names" As it stands; Behavior and Moderation is disrespectful to my amendments, and counter productive in a competitive field.

I've gotten immune to most flaming, when I notice the same idiots are flaming the players going 10/0/20 carrying the game and still get people harassing 'l2p noob f***got' to them, then you realize okay.. most of these people flaming are just morons and not actually criticizing something real.
