Can you Stop with the Hostility in Ranked?

Listen,

You should be mature enough to know the difference between constructive criticism and harassment. If you are doing terrible. losing lane, throwing the game for your team, and someone politely suggests ways for you to get back in it,

Don't immediately respond to that person with /ALL Report ------- for toxic.

If you're doing bad enough to warrant scrutiny from your peers, then you DO INFACT NEED advice. Because like it or not, even if you personally are just having fun and "don't give a shit" your teammates probably do, and they didn't click a box that said casual game.. They clicked the box that said RANKED.. aka TRY YOUR BEST AND TEST YOUR SKILLS.

I think it goes without saying, if you were there in ranked it is assumed that you are going to try to win the game every game you play.

With that said, There is Toxicity. Screaming at your teammates is not a solution to them playing like crap. You personally need to look at what they are doing that is causing them to do bad, watch them when you're backing, watch them as you're walking back to lane.

GIVE AND TAKE ADVICE WHEN IT IS OFFERED. Not doing so is childish and rude. Don't get pissed at people who want to help and want to win games. Put yourself in a person's shoes when you read what they write in chat... It's called Moral Obligations, responsibility and maturity.. LEARN THEM

"stop feeding please" is not really advice though.

I never said it was? If I am feeding though, and someone says that to me.. I'm not going to start flipping out on them either.

It's not advice, but it doesn't mean it's toxic or being a huge douchebag.

It's passive aggressive to say that. It's toxic

If they are feeding then aren't they "passive aggressively intentionally feeding then"? I love the double standards.

Maybe they are just playing bad and not feeding? Maybe they are way out matched in their lane. It happens.

Instead maybe the teammate should say "do you need help in your lane?" or " do you want a lane switch?"

If Im out matched in my lane I don't feed, so no. I think the problem is that people just don't try to learn how to be better and drag others down with them 90% of the time.

Getting outmatched isn't feeding

Yeah exactly, so why are you suggesting it is? There are plenty of things you can do to maintain lane presence and still not give up kills to the enemy in lane.

I assume saying "We have to improve otherwise we lose" is also passive aggressive and toxic...

Generally people don't like a.) being told what to do and b.) being told that they're doing badly. And couple that with the anonymity of the internet, well it's understandable why people rage.

My approach is this...if I suggest something and they get offended, rage, etc, then I just leave them alone. I'm not going to be able to change that person's attitude or playstyle in the space of one game so I don't bother wasting my time and concentrate on my own game.

Yeah well I don't think its fair for that one person to bring the entire team down because of their attitude. If one person has a "zero fcks Given attitude". Then they are a problem. That's the point of my post.
