For the love of god, don't be the person that adds a teammate after the game to complain about them.

I don't know why there's been this sudden surge of players that, after a shitty game, they add teammates afterwards to either tell them to kill themselves and never play the game again, or to try and make more funny jokes at that teammates' expense, but I feel like, at this point, I'm basically required to make this topic, but more on that later.

If you're rude or talk smack in the game? Whatever, it's a game, talking smack and being rude is normal. Post-game chat? Eh, a little silly, you can just press the button and presumably never see or hear of these people again, but if saying that the Lux should never play again helps you, whatever. But to be so pathetic, so absolutely petty, as to add somebody after the fact, only to whine about how awful they are even more, I really can't even find the words to accurately convey the feeling. You don't get anything out of adding somebody after a game, you're actively going out of your way to try and harass somebody else after you're given the opportunity to, if you so desired, literally never have to interact with them again in your life.

Hell, putting that aside, you could just as easily do the whole "just turn off the screen" meme. It takes as much effort to add somebody afterwards and type up an essay about how they're the scum of the earth that should be gunned down in the streets as it does to click "exit lobby", get up out of your chair, and go do literally anything else without being this much of a petty creep. As I said, I can understand anger and tensions in-game, you're actively punished if you don't sit in the game and wait it out, and I won't deny telling people to never play certain champs again after they single-handedly cost our team the game, but I don't think I've ever had a voice in my head go "You should add this person even after they leave the lobby! You'll really stick it to them by laughing at how bad they are! You'll definitely get the last laugh and not be instantly blocked by them".

Why am I posting this? I know posting this will probably draw a target on my back since I imagine it's not every day some dude gets a person adding them after a game that they actively accept, but I had the (dis)pleasure of somebody not only adding me after a game to complain about me, but then add me on ANOTHER PROGRAM ENTIRELY after I blocked them. I'm not exaggerating, I logged on to curse, whicH I hadn't touched for months, only to be confronted by comments from some guy that wasn't through with me after I blocked and reported him in the league client.

Please, for the love of god, don't be this person. You don't do yourself any favours, there's nobody to go "Haha yeah! fuck him" when you add somebody to directly talk to them. You aren't going to totally own them with your sick comment about how awful they are and how you're so much better. What happens in a shitty 25 minute game of league should stay in the 25 minute game of league. If you're really that upset or annoyed, turn the monitor off, go outside and get some fresh air, or lay down in bed and take a nap, go eat some food, do whatever, just don't be that kind of person.

Please, for the love of god, after you played with someone you know to be toxic, don't add this person.

lol, I had a few times this happened to me. But instead just go along with the conversation to see where it goes. I went from a conversation from them calling me dead, to seemly just talk random stuff out of the blue like how monkeys poop. Idk that was from NA, I see a lot more people whine more in EUWE than NA x.x

This happens to me a lot. I type quickly and eloquently, so I leave some scathing comment in the post game and then bail before they can reply.

Guy : hey <me> Me : Good game. Perhaps in time you will learn the value of the human beings around you, and will do more than simply condemn yourself to an isolated lane of gankless failure with your cheap, self-aggrandizing rhetoric. *leaves*

And then they try to add me so they can finish their thought. Fortunately for me, I'm in a habit of rejecting add requests anyway.

Interesting side note: The guy who added you in that cap reminds me of myself when I was nine.
