    I feel like the majority is gonna go negative, but I said neutral.

    Braum didn't flame, didn't argue. He just got really discouraged, in the face of what was clearly an overwhelming stomp. That doesn't make him a bad person, and I can sympathize with feeling like the game isn't worth playing any more.

    Not sure what he was actually doing during the "imma open mid" part. One player can't really make that decision, certainly not the support. It's not clear to me if he AFK'd or fed when he said that. If he did, then this was certainly negative. Without that information, though, I'm chalking it up to just defeated chatter.

    We can't always make people vomit sunshine and rainbows. Braum could have handled this game better, but he certainly played it cooler than the other players for the most part, so I say give him a pass.

    [20:15] [ALL] Braum: i jsut wanna watch my porno

    He's neutral. These kinds of statements (lol) usually depict how someone is tilting, and consequently reacts to tilting; he's teetering between giving up, and lightening up the mood of his team with humor. He may not be overly positive, but considering the flow of the game, as well as the expression of tilt and slight flame from the remainder of his team, that can be overlooked in the sense that those situations are hard to be positive in. Braum was a perfect example of being tilted, yet not being pushed to the extent of flaming his team.

    Sir Yamazuki6/15/2017, 1:08:13 AM6 votes

    Based on the context of the chat logs alone neutral in my opinion makes the most sense. Initially asking to open mid and stating they wanted to give up before what I am going to assume is a surrender (game ended at 24 minutes) isn't really negative. Although, this is because I'm fine with people expressing the opinion that the game simply isn't winnable if done so in a not very harmful way and does not include afking, trolling, or playing worse to have the game end sooner. The rest of his team was arguing, and Ahri stated giving up before he himself did along with complaining the team didn't surrender pre-20 minutes. He really only made one mistake at 19:22/28 which in my opinion a single mistake like that in such an environment doesn't really deserve to be labelled as toxic/negative.

    Aeszarck6/14/2017, 10:41:12 PM5 votes

    This one is tough to judge. He behaves mostly neutrally at first (with a couple attempts to improve team morale), then later on gives the game up for lost and says that he is going to open mid. I don't think he was nearly positive enough for this log to be considered positive. There's quite a lot of negativity at the tail end of this match, but since he's not really insulting anyone in spite of his tilt and since he had a bit of positivity and a lot of neutrality early on, I am going to very hesitatingly vote that he was overall neutral, even though the line "imma just open mid" really gets on my nerves.

    Void Nargacuga6/14/2017, 10:31:50 PM5 votes

    Wasn't the Leblanc on the enemy team?

    Edit: It's fixed now.

    ModPrandine6/15/2017, 12:30:11 AM4 votes

    This is a very tough one to judge for me personally. He started out on good terms, but as the game went on everyone's mindset and behavior started to go downhill, and even though Braum did try at one point to quell the uprising he eventually gave up and started contributing to the negative atmosphere as well. For me I would probably have to go with negative here honestly since he eventually chose to contribute to the negative environment instead of just focusing on and playing his own game. But like I said though this is a very tough case to judge, and one could easily make the argument for either negative or neutral, but definitely not for positive, that's for sure, at least not one that I could see or think of anyways.

    ModPeriscope6/14/2017, 10:29:58 PM4 votes

    I'd have given him a positive score, had he not mentioned giving up toward the end. Also, LB's name is blue.

    Firethorn6/15/2017, 12:43:37 PM3 votes

    Yeah, those were my chat logs... was really discouraged at the end and wanted to open mid, but the rest of my team didn't, so i continued playing the game. After rereading my chat logs i would've voted negative too.

    Dolyna6/15/2017, 12:18:05 AM3 votes

    I'd probably have reported Jax, but not Braum. Braum had a number of supportive comments. I didn't care for Braum's comment about opening mid, but since he's not actually mid, I wouldn't report him for it. I voted neutral.

    Randomonium6/15/2017, 12:31:12 AM3 votes

    I said neutral since he didn't say anything toxic but he wasn't super positive either.

    I hope you keep doing these, reminds me of old tribunal. I miss it item 3070

    ModKnightsKemplar6/14/2017, 10:56:56 PM2 votes

    I say negative.

    I agree that he isn't extremely toxic, but asking for an open mid before 10 minutes isn't going to get a neutral or positive vote from me.

    Solidarius6/15/2017, 7:25:18 AM2 votes

    voted neutral,

    this to me is a classic example why i hate playing supp :P

    <3 u Braum gl next game.

    EvilDustMan6/14/2017, 10:38:09 PM2 votes

    Both sides. He is a bit negative and a bit positive, I see no problem here except giving up a little too easily. Pretty tame.

    Warlord Scrap6/14/2017, 10:21:53 PM2 votes

    id say braum was mostly positive. Alitlle negative with the open mid but for the most part he seemed to try and deescalate the conflicts and raise up his team.

    BlueThingamajig6/15/2017, 3:12:30 AM1 votes

    I vote neutral. It's clear the player was frustrated, but never did anything to harm their team. If it weren't for the "open mid" line of comments, I'd contemplate voting positive. And it's not like the game was potentially winnable, even the enemy team expected a 15 min surrender. That's the main reason I don't find issue with the 'open mid' in this specific game.

    This game is an excellent example of how to give up without being an asshat to allies, regardless of their role in losing/not surrendering. I don't condone giving up, but not even a dignitas baron would swing the game back (probably).

    Pater Gascoigne6/15/2017, 6:02:02 AM1 votes

    This is a tough one imo. I'll go with neutral for now. He had some positive chat at first then some negative (but nothing major).

    AgeOfTheMage6/15/2017, 7:01:08 AM1 votes

    Yeah, braum was nuetral, he never said too much, a bit bad towards the end, he mainly just agreed with others though.

    Ipols6/15/2017, 7:10:50 AM1 votes

    Letting you know that I voted negative because I'm sounds like (might be wrong without a replay) that you did what I call the "silver open mid" : to open mid all your team has to agree. If you go afk and type "open mid" it's still going afk

    Friendly Ram6/15/2017, 1:15:40 PM1 votes

    I went positive as it was a really hard game with lots of salt going aroun but braum continued to communicate even when there was basically no hope.

    SanKakU6/14/2017, 10:52:33 PM1 votes

    Take back what I typed earlier. This chat log makes no sense because Braum shouldn't be able to have that many allies.

    TyrekGoldenspear6/19/2017, 3:06:46 AM1 votes

    Is there a way for you guys to have a megathread pinned with previous verdicts? Or maybe have each one link to the one before? It's hard to find previous ones in case you're trying to see if your logs have been used.

    Xidphel6/14/2017, 10:53:49 PM1 votes

    [4:51] Braum: no e [4:53] Braum: on cd..

    Would you f!ck with me?

    Kairoptra6/14/2017, 11:37:50 PM1 votes

    Like, he wasn't exactly toxic, but he definitely had a negative attitude with his giving up.

    AJStarhiker6/14/2017, 11:56:00 PM1 votes

    I would have gone nuetral--maybe even positive--since he's clearly frustrated with his team but still trying to deescalate the arguments, but he actually makes two comments about opening mid. Once at 9:36 and again at 19:22 that brought it down to negative for me. Had it just been the late game comment, my vote would have stayed in the neutral range

    General Esdeath 6/14/2017, 10:39:13 PM1 votes

    Braum wasn't too toxic, but he gave up real easily. I give up too but I don't afk and just say "open mid". I'll try but I know we lost already.

    Gonna go Negative on this one.

    50000000000000006/15/2017, 1:01:09 AM1 votes

    I think this is similar to the day 1 vote. He's got some mix of positive, neutral, and negative. I voted neutral, but it's hard to make a vote when "negative" can mean anything from kinda snide to permaban-worthy.

    Automated Riven6/15/2017, 3:10:39 AM1 votes

    Over all I voted negative. There was a point in time where ahri was getting railed on about her performance and braum did throw in a few cents about how she was playing. (mostly agreeing with others complaints instead of saying anything outright negative) he did try to defuse some arguments later. It seemed the entire team was on tilt altho he did keep his head and kept from flaming. Also he was suggesting opening mid twice and had a general defeatist attitude. I would say that this chat while being negative imho does not deserve a punishment.
