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

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.

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.

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.
