This whole "Don't be a dick" thing is actually working

As previously posted, I got the 2 week ban. Came back, and have made an effort to stop being such a fuckhead. I never bought into the whole "Being nice makes a game funner" thing, but it's totally true! Even when I get my ass kicked (Like when a shitty Alistair doesn't support you and then AFK's...) I just rant out loud, instead of in chat. And it's made the game less annoying. Turns out people are more willing to try and help when you just act decent.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Keep on the right path, NEVER FALTER! Cause your next shot is a perma and we don't need to lose someone who is on the path to recovery.

Congratulations.

I hope you can maintain this mindset and avoid slipping back into previous habits.

Honestly, good fucking job man. It is great to see when someone is like "I used to be a fuckin dick, and prefer to be a great team mate now." I take my hat off to you my friend. Continue being a good influence on the community.

Turns out people are more willing to try and help when you pretend to just act decent...while you scream their names out loud, and curses them for eternity...

they cant hear you, enjoy

Yeah I talk to myself a lot when I play ... also vocally rant about my team being stupid.

I either don't say anything most of the time or I try to not escalate the situation in chat.

Best of luck with your new mindset. Glad to here things are better.

I disagree. I feel games have become more toxic overall.

Oh no, another person lost to the trap of "toxicity".

R.I.P brother. You'll wake-up in a bout 5 months from the brain-washed babyism that is becoming online gaming, and you will move on to a new game that doesn't hold spineless kids hands.

Where are these people that magically want to help you? I normally just get the flamers :(

Even when I'm having a bad game I like to have fun in chat at the very least. Most of the time im paired with decent people and i can get a funny conversation going on and I don't have a terrible game experience wise

I legitimately believe that people that have once had this new treatment by RIOT will be less toxic than people that haven't. I was chat restricted for 10 games, now I turn off all chat out of habit and just write down all the swears I would have typed, I write them onto a piece of paper when I'm dead. :P

ModKnightsKemplar12/31/2015, 3:04:24 AM3 votes

Yep.

And EVERYONE struggles with this from time to time. Not everyone rages enough to get banned, but pretty much everyone could be nicer in game.

Clouded Magi12/30/2015, 10:00:55 PM3 votes

Hey man, I'm glad to hear you're trying to improve your behavior! I too am a reformed player, one who has had an account permanently banned before, and let me tell you no argument is worth losing your account! Get into the habit of instantly muting people rather than replying to their nonsense! It will save your account in the long run. 2 week ban is the step before permanent, and you don't lose that threat of being perma'd even after a few months of ban-free playing.

Remember to have fun, and don't get into a pissing match with some random rager, just laugh back at them because they take this game way too seriously

TheDevice12/31/2015, 8:12:12 PM2 votes

Super happy for you. Sorry to say it hasn't helped me once. When a team member doesnt want to win; you probably won't.

But sure. Be nice cuz rude is lame.

Every game i've tried really hard to try to help calm my teammates, it doesn't matter.

The fact is, its not only you ya gotta worry about, its your team. What are the chances you're the only person on your team who is at risk of getting upset? so small its ridiculous.

But, again, as I've said in the past: I just have poor luck.

It's not your imagination, prisoner's island is real and you are being matchmade with less toxic players

Regarding this post I must state something quickly, I am new to League. I heard of league in 2009 and now, 2016 I have decided to play, I refused to play even when my best friends have played because I always heard comments on how the community makes you cry, how they are uncivilized, how they are idiotic and overall don't have a heart. So, why did I join? Because of my girlfriend, obviously. But still, I'm glad league is pushing something like his because most people don't join because of these stereotypes. Today is my second day on league and I'm actually enjoying it. So, thanks league for pushing this attitude..?

Im curious what would happen if you joined a teamspeak/skype while you were ranting lol but im glad for you.

99% of times i mid or top, if i hear someone getting rekt'd, but there being a dick in chat to the jungler for no ganks... even if i can help you, i don't simply because your being a dick to our jungle.. idc if he never ganked you, he's a bad a jungler, play safer and don't be a dick, but if i can see your playing safe, politely pinging or asking jungler for help, but the jungler still isn't helping, yeah i'll roam when i get a chance, just because your being decent

I should have done this. Was having a rough time at home no meds for the month. (bipolar depression not an excuse) and I starting being toxic to enemy team after they spammed rekt so I also said rekt a few times. I have been permanently banned . I guess another one bites the dust :/

I hope you all enjoy League of Legends knowing another toxic shithead like me is gone. I actually did do this for the most part but sometimes it gets hard. Love you guys <3

My teammates deserve to be cussed out for their consistently awful play. I could actually carry games but my teammates are always working for the other team.

I'm a very nice player but i love when there is drama in League though. So I'll have to say I disagree. Games is too boring if no one trash talk.
