Ironically, Riot's changes to promote more teamplay and less solo-stomping have caused more toxicity

SaltyToplaneGoat·Jan 23, 2017·12 votes·708 views

Like, now you can't even solo-carry the retards anymore, now you are DEPEDANT on them. I remember far back in the day, you could just mute everyone, focus on YOUR game and pull through with it - and now you have your team stuck to your foot like a fucking anchor. Isn't that something to feel joyfull and cooperative about? When the 0/8 botlane starts flaming you and you still have to kiss their ass when you want to win because all hail to teamwork and solo-impact sucks?

So I got a new policy - simply for maintaining my mental health.

I'd rather lose than to be depedant on a flamming asshole with stats worse than I have them.

If you come across me in my games, you have been warned.

Just because you want to throw a temper tantrum and take your ball and go home doesn't mean that toxicity had increased. All it means is that you are temperamentally unsuited to multiplayer games and have made the choice to throw games because you don't get to be the hero and would rather lose than act like an adult.

I have NOT been throwing temper trantums for FIVE YEARS trying to put up with this game.

But at some point it's enough I guess.

And I do not throw temper trantums, I deliver justice. Eye for an eye as they say.

"Acting like an adult" is a phrase weaklings say to cover their incompetence to strike back. Some people only understand force, and I have PLENTY to give if they appear... demanding it.

Yeah, you threw a temper tantrum, unless that's how you always are, in which case you're just being immature and not realizing what team games are--TEAM games. If you want to solo-carry something, don't play a game that's designed to be won with the cooperation of a group. If this game was meant to be won by a single person, you wouldn't even have a team.

The summation of your initial posting is that you're playing a team game yet angry at having to play as a team, and "an eye for an eye" is horrible reasoning and partial. "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" is it in its entirety, warning against that type of behavior. You're not delivering justice--you're being immature and perpetuating toxicity. If people flame you, mute them and move on.

But let's be real here--you're likely going to write off my response as you did the other respondent, maybe throw an insult or two in there (like insinuating that the other person is a "weakling" that's trying to cover up their "incompetence"), and then continue on your very umerry way, being bitter and angry at a game for its intended structure, and complaining more to others.

That's you, right? Over your last 55 games, your average was 4.0/6.4/8.3 and you went 26/29 (47%). I didn't look too closely, but it appears that you only went positive in about 15% of your games.

I especially enjoyed these two games:

My point being that everyone has good games and bad games. Sometimes you'll carry. Sometimes others will carry you. At the end of the day, things like this are not worth stressing about.

Well I only followed the orders of my teammates. They were pretty exact, I'm sure I didn't misunderstand the numerous orders to kill myself... and when i did, they kept telling me to do it again. Maybe they are perverts, I don't know...

Also, bringing a match from two days ago when there probably 20 more already in the line is a bit... not exactly high quality jounralism.

I looked through all 55 of your games that were available on OP.GG and selected matches that showed what I strongly believe to be true: everyone has bad games.

SaltyToplaneGoatJan 24, 20171 votes

Yeah, but do I tell people to kill themselves when I have a bad game? No I don't. So when someone does that to me, why should I care for their winning chances again?

we don't know what you say, inside games so we can only guess

SaltyToplaneGoatJan 24, 20171 votes

Well, according to OFFICIAL statement such people get chat restricted instantly. At least that what the legend says. Since I am not chat restricted I don't seem to do it apparently.

Luso ClemensJan 25, 20171 votes

Because there are other people playing the game as well. One or two teammates being a-holes doesn't mean that your other teammates need to suffer as well. That is, unless all of your teammates were harassing you, in which case, yeah, you shouldn't care about their chances of winning, but you should be watching for your account's well-being. If you're doing things that make it seem like you're not trying, your team can report you and possibly earn you some penalties.

All of use League players experience good and bad games with some games being really good and some being really crappy from your standpoint. My point is... don't be too negative on your point of view. If you had a bad game, then review all the mistakes you did on that game and move on. It's kind of simple really, unless that's ranked where every mistake you do can be considered unforgivable to others. If ever feel like you're in a losing streak, then take a break from all the ~~toxicity~~ action for at least a day so that you can refresh your mind, you can relax and you feel re-energized for your next games tomorrow. That's what I always do when I end up when I get really pissed from a group of games.

Even if League is a team game, if your gut tells you to do that play but your teammates don't want to, then you're better off trusting that gut of yours most of the time than to trust complete strangers tbh. That's what I often do. So yeah....

tl; dr: If you're in a bad mood, take a break for at least a day Ignore all the toxicity you get in Solo Q because should you listen to them? No you shouldn't. Trust your instincts first, then your teammates if you're confident in them Stay positive and always be careful about yourself.

Side note: never attempt to throw games. If you do, it always backfires on you at sometime because of karma.

Boy do I sure miss these times. Promoting team play in "Solo Q". How ironic, huh? I always thought that's what "Flex Q" basically their shitty Dynamic Q was for.
