I cannot seem to stop the toxic streak.

This account is perma banned....like many other accounts I have that are. My behavior started as a 14 year old boy screaming at the world, screaming at life itself. Those were bad days. I think I had 17k+ chat restrictions at one point. I quit for a year after getting many, many more bans after the first. Came back a lot better. A lot less toxic, but still toxic. I call people bad. I tell people they need eyes if I gank in plat freaking 1 and they don't respond. It's sad because I have a 70% w/r on a new account in plat. Otherwise, I'm super happy/positive. I've changed a lot, and I'm proud of that, but I truly do not want to get anymore bans. I'm 17 and hoping for a spot on a popular uni team in 2 years, and this cannot happen without a behavioral change. I've tried MuteMe, I've tried disabling enter, all that stuff.

If I get a bad team that feeds out of their minds in Plat 1, doesn't look at the map when I come to gank, even as I'm pinging them, or lanes that call ME bad because I can't help them not to be 0/5, then I start flaming. No hard flames, no curse words, but the "you're bad" or the "typical garbage plat player LUL" gets me banned. Just got a two week on a gold 1 smurf with an MMR plat 1-2 for telling my team they didn't have eyes when I ganked. When I get invaded? Their team will come. Mine doesn't, even if I ping them. If I invade? Even if I'm ahead, and doing really well, sometimes my team won't come, even when their lane is pushed.

My question is: How do I not flame the people who are in "higher" elo when they don't seem like they deserve to be? People should be looking at map, warding, all that good stuff, but they aren't. The games where they do I can carry and it feels so easy, and I constantly get 3-4 honors. The hard part about this game is carrying the baddies, so how do I do that without flaming? (Keep in mind I never curse at teammates. Only "good fucking job/good fucking shit bro, you're a fucking monster. I never curse when I flame.)

There is nothing wrong with you. It's a video game. You should be able to tell a fucking 0/5/0 piece of shit to stop playing badly and stop feeding. If they don't like it, they can mute you. There shouldn't be any bans on verbal anything when there is a mute button. But of course, Riot likes to kiss the ass of these little pieces of shit, probably because the worst players happen to buy the most skins or something. As a result, ANYTHING you say is considered toxic and bannable.

I think an important thing to remember that this is just a game and we want to all enjoy it for the fun it is! If we take that with us into every game we can remember to stay cool, calm, and collected, and spread a bit of positivity to your teammates even when they don't always end up with the best score ! Nobody is perfect, right? If that's true then we just have to remind each other, especially at the times when we lose a dragon or a baron or a team fight or if you have no more turrets or Inhibitors and the enemy is charging in, that its ok to be behind, losing isnt the end if the world, but if you remain calm, cool, and collected, you just might be able to turn some of the hardest, seemingly most hopeless games into amazing comebacks!

If you need a teammate to help you keep a chill game I'm available! (in a couple days, out of state and away from a computer!)

In the last year or two I've come to very strongly feel that the toxicity thing would be helped significantly by Riot just completely reworking their match length and the drastic power disparity gold leads give. If matches were shorter and gold leads didn't power spike people so high they can just nuke you with barely any effort, I think we'd see a LOT less frustration and anger in this game's playerbase.

Why are you so concerned with other people's play and not your own? Are you playing absolutely perfectly every single game? Even a 70% winrate says that no, you're not.

Don't flame people because they deserve to be treated like people who make mistakes occasionally JUST LIKE EVERYONE.
