A scripting opponent is no excuse for extreme toxicity

So i just came out of a game where it looked to me the enemy Vayne was scripting (I am uncertain because until now I've never had reason to consider that a player could be/have been scripting). Now I was busy dealing with that kind of Yasuo player who flies around the minions simply because he can and likes to show off, so suffice to say I was rather concentrated on the fly on my windshield. While this was going on though, I started seeing a steady flow of "this vayne's scripting" from my support and adc. As bad as it sounds, I just assumed they were trash >_>, and after watching a brief exchange, was pretty sure they were. But then Vayne kept dodging everything. At a point i found a way through Fog of War into a brush with a control ward in it, and when vayne was in flash-ult range (i was lissandra), I was auto attacked the INSTANT I appeared, and up to/during this point, the game was somewhat even.

After that however things rapidly went downhill, and our Thresh started getting abusive. REALLY abusive. I tried to subtly point it out (hey thresh calm down, you keep this up and youll give them reason to ban you), but he kept at it. And good god it got horrid.

I mean I was mad at the scripting, but HOLY LORD THE THRESH, that is no excuse to DEATH WISH people. Oh yeah and when I told him I was reporting him too, "Fuck you, you get reported too, intentionally feeding!"...

I have never come across a person so hateful, so conceited, so spiteful, so UNPLEASANT, that I genuinely hoped that they would get perma-banned.

I can sympathise with frustration over losing a game to a scripter at a circumstantial level, but I don't give a damn if their whole team is scripting. There is a report feature for a reason, and wishing death on people for anything is inexcusable.

Depending on if the Vayne was attack moving, that would allow her to instantly attack you when you left the bush. That's how you should facecheck bushes in general so that you can get damage on the person in the bush instead of just walking in and doing nothing to them.

But yeah, people get way to into this game sometimes. Had a Trundle top that was ? pinged when he didn't warn of his laner roaming. Our jungle then gets killed at his blue by the enemy top laner while our top is just CSing, so there's another ? ping. He says something to the extent of "one more ping and I'll feed" and then, of course, someone pings him so he goes back, buys a tear, and starts feeding. He types in chat that he's feeding so X player loses the game, that he doesn't deserve a win, player deserves to die, yada yada. Then about 10 minutes later he claims, "no, I'm just lagging" and "why isn't my tear build working. Ezreal has a tear and it's working for him." After we lose he keeps up the claim of lag and once the enemy team leaves, he makes another dig at the player.

I understand being upset, but I don't get this need to type it out in chat. If a teammate is calling our team trash, I will point out what that teammate is also doing wrong, but I don't threaten them. Saying "you have no lifesteal or armorpen vs a tank with thornmail" still isn't really polite, but it's at least offering a strategy to the player, not me just raging at them even if I really want to.
