So this is only to those people who actually play this game to try to be competitive:

I'm truly wondering if anyone in this game has the desire to be a better player. Sure outside of midlane I'm prolly mediocre or trash. But two years ago on my old account that is no longer with us, RIP, I hit D5 as a Leblanc one trick. Fast forward two years and new account. Now whenever I try to make calls, or spam ping 18 red pings to tell someone they are going to die if they don't back up, or tell someone they could have had a double kill or got out safely if they did such and such... the unanimous response that I get from these Bronze, Silver, and Gold players so far is "stfu."

This response, or the response of not listening to 18 pings shows me that they don't want to win, they don't want to improve, and they are liberal baby pampered kids whose mommy and daddy told them that they are perfect and never did anything wrong. Therefore, I will int your game if you continue to come at me with these kind of tones.

How do you avoid the urge to int these kind of people and keep them exactly where they belong, hard stuck?

Or they thought that 18 pings was annoying and started tuning you out. Or muted your pings.

By realizing it's worthless to throw a tantrum just because someone didn't listen to a ping. If you throw the game for such petty reasons then it's you that deserves to be hard stuck.

not to mention OH NO YOU RUINED ONE GAME FOR THEM yeah this one game you ruined for them will keep them exactly in their elo FOREVER! its not like this 1 game out of 100-200 has almost no impact at all. no no, you inting put a death mark on that players account so that they can never climb.

you might piss them off, but the next day they alrdy forgot who you were lol.

Well, there's your problem. You are creating your own enemy here. Literally.

Even if your really believed their behaviour necessarily implies they are "baby pampered kids whose mommy and daddy told them that they are perfect and never did anything wrong", it's very obvious that you have absolutely, positively, I cannot stress this enough NO FUCKING WAY to determine their political ideology.

You are creating the image of that person yourself, deliberately choosing something that you hate. So the problem isn't really so much your urge to int, as much as it is your urge to hate, demonize, and generally blow the issue out of proportion.

And that, in all honesty, points to a problem that is rooted much, much deeper than just your attitude and behaviour in a video game.

If you want to be a better player, you should focus on your mistakes. You can fix those. You can't fix your opponents' or teammates' mistakes.

A) I avoid the urge to int by realizing I'm not a shitty person. B) You aren't entitled to people listening to your calls. If you spam ping, you are probably being counterproductive as it will lead to more ping mutes than normal. How many pings will they see when you spam if they muted your pings? (Hint: It's 0). C) People not listening to you does not equate to them not wanting to improve. It is foolish and self-centered to believe that.

So if you go to a trade school, and you want to become a mechanic, are you gonna just tell all the people to stfu or are you going to listen to someone who knows what they are talking about?

Silent GravityFeb 5, 20202 votes

If there are people paying you to teach them, and they're telling you to stfu when you try to teach them: I suggest dropping them as clients.

As a successful coach, there are other clients you could spend your time with.

They aren't paying him. He's just egotistical enough to believe that he's smarter than them and they need to be taught. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

A better comparison, since you are by no means an expert, would be you, the equivalent of a student, telling them, also the equivalent of a student, that they are doing it wrong, but instead of telling them once, you say it 18 times in the span of 1 minute. Yea. I can't imagine why they didn't listen. It's almost like that would be annoying or something. [fiora-cool]

ErmisotaFeb 5, 20201 votes

You're definitely making an assumption, and it doesnt have to be an expert it just has to be someone who knows more than you. Like I do in this situation.

Kei143Feb 5, 20204 votes

It goes both ways.

We know more about player behavior than you, and we're telling you that you are annoying your peers.

People don't care about how much you know until they know how much you care. So if you annoy them, they aren't going to care about what you say.

ErmisotaFeb 5, 20201 votes

Its not annoying them if its the first thing ive said, or 6 pings and they havent backed off

Kei143Feb 5, 20203 votes

That's just what you think.

ErmisotaFeb 5, 20201 votes

If they get annoyed by that then they can get fucked and need to grow some balls, the world isn't here to coddle people when they make mistakes.

Kei143Feb 5, 20203 votes

yes. please just let them be and don't coddle them.

Not really. If you're in that elo with them, there's a reason. You said it yourself. You USED to be diamond. Not anymore. So you guys are on the same playing field. So you attempting to tell them what to do is the same as a student telling another student how to do something. Except you're more obnoxious with it. Your ego knows no bounds.

You are not anyone's manager, leader, or teacher. Nobody knows you from Adam, and therefore, are not required to listen to you. Everyone on at team is of equal standing and may do as they please in the interests of winning the game.

deathgod5Feb 5, 20201 votes

Difference being that a trade school is a place with people with credentials, you are just another player in their rating. They might just disagree with you or think you are just wrong. To them, you are not somebody who knows what you are saying. To them, you are that one kid in class that corrects mistakes while you are using a different method that is correct.

So, you're implying that you and only you are capable of making good decisions in the game? That your decision is the only one that is correct or valid, and anyone who doesn't listen to you and do exactly what you want them to do because you're always right that makes them a liberal baby?

So, I'm guessing every game you've ever lost has not been your fault and is obviously your team's fault and every single death you ever have in game is solely because your team baited you?

ZackTheWaffleManFeb 6, 20202 votes

If it's one of my classmates, then yeah, I'll tell them to stfu. I'm here to get taught by the professors, not the know-it-all that sits behind me.

MagicFlyingLlamaFeb 5, 20203 votes

Please, int. Keep yourself exactly where you belong, since you apparently cant get out of that region yourself.

Sounds like they are dismissive of you because you are a tilted asshole, not because of any validity. If you want to "punish" people for not deferring to your bloated ego, they are going to deal with that by being as contrary as possible.

deathgod5Feb 5, 20203 votes

They don't know you, they don't think your solutions work and they think that you are complaining a lot. You are not their teacher, you are in their game, on their rating with no reason for them to consider you any better.

VonyaloFeb 5, 20201 votes

I don't have desire to be a better player. Not in this game at least.

LanceTheJunglerFeb 5, 20201 votes

Carry and 1v9 if that fails, just accept that your team is hardstuck and beyond your help and just let the game end. Also try duoing, a lot easier to get these shitters to do what you want when you have two people automatically following your calls and not just one. Some of these players are simply unintelligent. They have the same rank I had in my first season playing, when they've been playing for 5 seasons. Just keep in mind that your average human has below average intelligence. It's like getting mad at a dog for not understanding human speech. They can't help it.

ErmisotaFeb 5, 20201 votes

It's actually hilarious getting comments from all these people who basically only play URF and ARAM and TFT... then they want to talk like they know something about rank when they've never been higher than Gold 3 max.

zPOOPzFeb 5, 20205 votes

and which part of any of the discussions in this thread required someone to be a challenger to tell how much of an egoistical, obnoxious.... you are? People skills. Learn some.

CharDeeMcDennizFeb 5, 20203 votes

many of us know better than to post from our mains bc salty guys like you always try to make it about rank shaming when you know you fucked up instead of just admitting when you're wrong

It’s actually hilarious that you’re acting like you aren’t stuck in that elo you’re complaining about. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Can you even ping 18 times? It just lets me do it like 5 times or so at most?! [sg-lux-2]

OP, I'll tell you how to get people to listen to you. You tell them straight up (in the lobby) that you like to lead. And if people don't listen to your calls then you get tilted. And once you get tilted then things are probably not going to work out.

So the result is :-

They either dodge the game.
Get into the game and ignore you.
Or get into the game and mostly listen to your calls.

If they don't listen to your calls and you get tilted, end up losing - then tell them that they tilted you. That's it. It doesn't matter beyond that, right?! No one wins every game. SIMPLE as that. [sg-ezreal]

Good luck!

Ps : Don't int anyone OP. Wasn't your motive to win in the first place? If you can't handle it, cuss at them IRL. Get off the comp. for a short 2-3 minute break, get some water. Flex some muscles! Surf through some Orn. Eat some chips! Freshen up and think that its a new game, you're just filling up for someone else. That should help you avoid inting to some extent. [vlad-salute]
