Yes, i am

I have a good job. I play 1-2h (1-2-3 games / day ) or 3-4h in week-ends. I live with my girlfriend for past 3 years. We have a very good relationship. In my first year of playing LoL (- actually this season - Season 5), i have reached Platinum II from Bronze IV. So i know every ups and downs. I have over 1000+ games already in ranked, since starting to play (November 2014). I am a teamplayer.I am a competitive player in every game i have played. When no one trolls my game, i almost always receive Friendly/Helpful/Teamwork honor from my teammates (or honorable opponent). When some one starts trolling, i get toxic. I don't like bad players. I actually dislike them. That makes me toxic. Eliminate trolling potential, and you will have a less toxic environment.

But, until then, I am a toxic player. Help me.

I've got a few weapons that I use against toxicity in my games;

  1. Ignore him. He's just a kid and doesn't know how dumb he sounds, so I silently give him my pitty, not my self-respect by getting baited.

  2. Tell him his behavior isn't helping us win and we should focus. Sometimes it works and it actually improves his gameplay and anyone he had previously been bugging.

  3. Mute him. He's actually starting to bother me and I'm inclined to talk back to him. Again he isn't worth it but since he's hard to ignore I just cut him off and it's as if he simply doesn't chat.

  4. Delete any toxic text I type out. I don't want to mute him (yet) for communication reasons and I try to rip him a new one; instead of hitting 'Enter' after typing it all out, I simply hit 'Escape' instead. Poof, the toxic reply that woulda got me in trouble disappears like magic.

  5. I go ahead and rip him a new one. How is this not toxic? Because I say it out loud and not in chat! I got it off my chest and no one is the wiser.

In the end, know that your reports against toxic players will help build up a file against them. If they continue that kind of behavior it will contribute to their punishment, and there are zero negative side effects to you.

The last method is considering whether your account is worth some jerk you'll never meet again. Do you really want to lose all your time and/or money in this account over some kid that actually won't have learned anything from it? (he may even derive pleasure from baiting you into getting yourself punished)

The first step to eliminating a toxic environment is working on your own behaviour.
