I'm just done

I am just so tired of the toxic, rude, and mean people. lately I've been practicing jungle and doing fairly well minus a few bumps. but more often than not i get someone who thinks i'm trolling because i didn't do well and ganks didn't work out as expected. idk why people just to the assumption that im trolling because i didn't make some amazing LCS play or something. and as to try and defend myself say im practicing or whatnot and get told to play bots to practice and i reply i have already oh but of coarse they just say go back to bots because i suck and am a troll who messes up all the lanes. The sad part is i believe that most people that play league are probably decent people but are just showing an ugly version of themselves because they are frustrated and salty. a few times i've seen someone look back at what they said and was like oh wow thats not me and awful and toxic. but being satly isn't an excuse, it sounds like most of the people who play need to take anger management lessons because in what world is it okay to yell people you don't know because your mad?

I see all the attempts that the moderators are doing and its great and all but its never going to be enough there will always be awful people who think they can say anything to anyone just because they think the internet doesn't have consequences.

a lot of people just tell me to brush it off and its just a game but that should have to be that answer because it just shouldn't happen. the only reason i want to play anymore is because i have a pretty big chunk of money invested in this game but at this point it isn't enough to keep me wanting to play, to keep coming back to the abuse of other player when i need to just not.

this may just be a rant but it will probably be my last experience associated with league of legends and its players. i hope its a positive one :D

That's why I just ignore people. If I see someone going on a rant or start raging, I just mute them and focus on playing the game.

It's pointless to get into an argument or get bent all out of shape over a game. You can see all the people in the PB&M all the time post "OMG I GOT BANNED FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER!!! FU RIOT!!!" and when they post their chat logs, even if it isn't horrible, it's just non-stop negative.

You just keep playing the game, just mute everyone at the beginning of the game and just worry about getting better at the game and doing your best. It's like a completely different game if you don't pay attention to chat.

I just use pings. Never really say anything unless it's "lol" or "gg wp."

Jungling can be very unforgiving. I get flamed sometimes when I play Diana or Sejuani simply because their pre-level 6 presence isn't strong, and people will lose a 1v1 lane, or die because they failed to ward, and they will instantly blame me. I find in low elo champions like Voli, Trundle, or Rammus work better because they can pressure lanes as soon as level 3, have decent cc, and are tanky enough to take some hits if your laner is slow to respond. Best tips I can offer are to ward for lanes that are failing to ward, ping location of enemy jungler whenever you see him, make sure you ward objectives, and ping whenever you are going in for a gank.

People don't know how to play safe with mid game spike champs like Diana, WW, or Sejuani. They have this innate expectation that the jungler is supposed to carry them from level 2 onward. I had a Diana game where I went 15/2 because no one gave up first blood till I ganked at level 7, and I ended up doing 10k more damage than anyone on either team. I had another game that was over at 20 minutes because every single lane had gone 0/2 or 0/3 before I could even hit level 6. Of course, it was my fault according to them - every time I went to pressure one lane, the other two would be spam pinging assist and blaming me for not ganking more. I barely had time to hit my power spike before the game was over, simply because they couldn't play safe for 6 levels.

To summarize, pick a strong early game jungler to start with. Communicate often. Ward for people. And you will have to have a somewhat tough skin in low ELO at least, because you will be blamed by people who simply don't understand the game enough to know that dying multiple times in a 1v1 lane, or failing to ward, is their fault, not yours. Every laner may take it personally if you don't appear every millisecond they are pushed, even if you are currently getting a successful gank in another lane or securing dragon. They don't necessarily see the big picture; only zero in on what is happening in their lane at the moment.

If you try to gank for someone, and they fail to respond even with pings, or start flaming you, just mute them and ignore their lane. Try to snowball the others as best you can so you can carry that person because they clearly aren't going to be contributing anything meaningful.

it was definitely normals. i wouldn't practice any role in ranked until i had it down. i wish i had the game stats to share. i went something like 2/5/4 from personal experience people who are intentional feeding or trolling would have a way worse score something more like 0/15/0.

I am finding that all problems I've had are on aram and normals. I've seen toxic people on ranked but not really towards me. It's really only on roles or champions I'm not used. How can I grow as a player if im stuck playing the same 10 champions and 2 roles if I get my *** chewed for learning on a perfectly acceptable queue to learn on.

I seriously don't know what you're referring to when you use the words "toxic" and "salty".

Was this normals or ranked?

has a jungler if you can't apply pressure either in lane or in jungle you will be threat very harshly because you're not just putting yourself behind but everyone on your team.

Things like this will always happen. It's the Internet. People are anonymous and because of that they think they can act different with no real consequences. Play any type of online game an you'll see people acting the same way.

But I will say it would make sense to answer Lannister questions. Mainly because of it was rank I could understand why people would accuse you of trolling. If you are doing that badly that is what people will jump to because it makes like you are trying to mess up the game for them by doing that badly. It would make sense for them to tell you to play boys because they feel you don't have the basic understanding of being a jungle. If it was normal then I would worry too much about it. At least with rank people take it serious for a good reason. With normals people really shouldn't be that early because there is nothing to gain.

All in all its what to expect in an online game. You have the tools to report them so I would suggest you help us with trying to get people like that off the game.
