Intro: While this is 50% a rant I ask you to ignore that before the downvote rain and sicnerally tell me if this is untollerable flaming and I'm not allowed to express any kind of disappointment in game chat.

Is this Flaming?

I'm talking seriously here. I know that I get a bit aggressive when team mates start going bad in lane or don't respond to my warnings. I've not recieved any warning nor am I muted but I really need to know if this is objective flaming because then I might really need to revaluate my speech. I know the context of the game is huge and toxicity can't be evaluated just by this but I'll try to give a fair image of the situation.

  1. Rengar ganks midlane (my lane) after I died during a pretty long engage, before this he was roaming in the bushes around mid he kills my enemy (left at 30% hp) he did the same before botlane without getting a kill Me: Rengar, try to gank when ppl are alive.

  2. I ping our toplane Illaoi that there is danger coming from mid and I even write it to him that 1-2 ppl are coming (couldn't see midlane). He stays and gets killed, they proceed on taking the tower Me: Illaoi... really? (I can see this as flaming as it didn't add anything constructive, yet if some1 told me so I would consider it a rant and try to exorcise it with a "yeah mb/sorry")

  3. Second time I try to gank botlane, our Nami uses her ultimate again when I'm too far to geta dvantage of it (playing Yasuo) Me: Nami I need your ultimate to use mine so try not to throw it randomly (Disclamer: I know I can knockup ppl myself duh... and while I could be an illuminated zen pratictioner I displayed a rather aggressive atittude)

I wouldn't classify it as "flaming", necessarily. More like "passive-aggressive negativity".

If they might infer that you are insulting them, you're better off not saying anything. Perception is important.

You got a reform card to post or did you just get a warning? Otherwise this story is obviously lacking

For these three specific examples, I would not report and I don't see it as flaming. I see them as neutral. You could be nicer, but your not being mean, just making comments or neutral suggestions. Your fine as long as you don't get mad and say something you shouldn't.

I often use ._. to kind of show lack of emotion.

"Flaming" requires talking. Just don't type anything out and you're not flaming.
