You can call me a quitter but. . .

RobbieFry13··2 votes·820 views

I admit I am not a great jg but I think it is a lot of fun (much more enjoyable than laning) and you can't really practice vs the bots, so there isn't a way to test out a new build or just generally refine your skills without going pvp. So I had been playing normals for an extended period the other night and I wanted to try to Jungle, but kept getting my second choice of Support. Until the last game of the night I finally get jg and try to play Nocturne I'm pretty rusty bc I haven't played him in weeks and at this point I am really tired. I have a pass through all the camps an then things start to go bad.

I'm tired, like really tired, at this point so when I am working on getting the red buff I am half way dead before I realized there are 2 red life bars and only one of them is going down, Jax jumped the wall and I hadn't even noticed since he was behind the monster. I couldn't get much else right either mis-timed my ganks, missed almost ever shadow nuke I fired. after a 2nd failed gank a very fed Vayne chased me down and I died for the second time now I am 0/2/0 our Top and Mid are winning but bottom is losing badly and Lux our support who has been riding me for a while already starts to get even nastier because of course it is all my fault she keeps dying and they are losing the lane. I admit I am having a bad game, and try to move on, but after some more farming ( I even get the dragon and and assist when our Pantheon kills Jax )I have to go back to bottom lane to try and help bc they are about to lose another tower. If forget what exactly happened but I know Vayne killed me again.

I'm 0/3/1, really tired, and even though our team is winning and she is the only person on the team with more deaths than me (5 and I think all of them to Vayne) Lux tells me that I should just AFK. So I do. As I am disconnecting it asks me "are you sure?" and it occurs to me it doesn't ask me why. Shouldn't riot ask why I wanted to quit in the middle of a game? I probably got reported (I don't mind I can live with the consequences of my actions) but Lux who spent most of the game feeding and griefing me, probably didn't. That doesn't seem very fair does it?

Why can't just mute her.

RobbieFry131 votes

I have 2 fairly honest answers for that,

  1. I was really tired and didn't really think it through
  2. I don't actually know how

Why can't just mute her.

becuase it doesnt stop them from stealing buffs and watchign you die... riot has only made toxicty worse in there game with a majority of there desicions and when they are told that they go this data doesnt lie...

dyno que isnt horrid for soloque no one but those solo que players are actully getting reported

yes i do have a problem wiith jungleTwitch yes i do havea problem with you sitting there when im a pre 6 Akali and you get me nothing while taking cs yes i do ahve a problem with your Annie support. you are far more likely to fuck me over then actually support

it goes on but as you can see these are three reasons why solo que is "more" toxic than dyno

"more" that is for sarcasm we arent more toxic we just dont understand or appreactie your trolling like a party would

Honestly, the level of toxicity I see when playing with friends is about the same as I do when I solo. Things have been actually pretty tame as of late. Well they were until school let out for summer. It's been a shit show for the past week or two.

I believe this is a good idea, because it is very frustrating to deal with a 30 minute game filled with salt and anger, and if riot implements it like the tribunal where they check chat and see that you too weren't being salty, then that should be fine! And, it would probably make the game more enjoyable for me, you and others

Personally, I would just love to add the lux and give her a taste of her own medicine in private chat while muting her in a game.

As soon as you see people putting things like "?" or haha, you should mute them right away. Getting tilted is real during this game.

SKT GodKiller1 votes

Honestly, I have decided to remove all chat at the point where im getting mad because, 1) I don't want to get angrier, and 2( They wouldnt tell me information that I could benefit from. However, on good or ok game's with no, ? or haha, i tend to try and befriend the enemy because they could be nice people

Angry Monster1 votes

You gave up your right to complain when you RQ. Instead of RQ you are supposed to mute and then report at the end of game.

Sure lux was being a tool in game, but that does not mean that you get to make the game harder by becoming a tool your self.

SKT GodKiller1 votes

I believe what riot could do instead of ignoring the fact that some players forget to mute is perhaps leave a big message to players like, for example, remember those tips that would be played during a game with an exclamation mark? They could periodically remind players every 5 games or so

Angry Monster1 votes

forget to mute

if you can not remember to mute how in hell do you in function and remember everything else in a game this complex?

Sry but forgetting or muting is cowardly is not a real excuse.

This is a real simple maturity test. The OP just fails to pass it.

SKT GodKiller1 votes

Look, I understand that this may seem like a bad idea which I now know is, but it can be hard to remember when your filled with anger and frustration. Its easy to forget important things when your angry.

Angry Monster1 votes

actually it is not hard to forget if you are proactive. You do not have to wait till you want to you want to punch something to mute. The secound i know someone is going to be one of those i mute.

The trick is to not get angry. I mean if you are so unstable that you need to worry about what a stranger says, you have more problems than i can count.

So here is the truth of the matter, you do not have to be angry to report. You just have to of dealt with offensive behavior that you do not want to deal with. Riot removes it cause even if you are not mad about it, it is garbage that you should not have to deal with. The fact you let it get to an anger issue speaks more about you than the trolls themselves.

Time to learn self control.

Yeah so you are right that I should probably not have bailed (I could argue that quitting was actually a more mature way of handling the situation than sinking to my toxic teammates level) , but I'm not making excuses for what I did. I can live with myself for doing it, and it is likely the only time I have ever been reported, My thought is, what if you didn't RQ? What if my wife went into labor? Or any number of other emergency, not what I can control situations happened? I just think you should have the option of commenting on why you want to disconnect. Also it irks me that when people get away with bad behavior . . . and in this case likely some one did. I don't think losing a that match which was just supposed to be for fun is really going to teach that Lux her lesson. More likely there will be more victims of her bile, and of course from her perspective it will all be some one else's fault.

Angry Monster1 votes

IF your wife went into labor its a one of thing. Though i would argue that if she is close to due date or has medical problems that you shouldn't have been playing league when you are pretty much on call. Also if your wife is going into labor you have more problems than what an idiot on a video game says.

You seem to lack perspective on things.

Also it irks me that when people get away with bad behavior

Cause you left....

I don't think losing a that match which was just supposed to be for fun is really going to teach that Lux her lesson

if they are a troll or just vindictive, you actually did what they wanted. They got a reason to report you and get to feel justified in their actions. if anything your leaving reinforces their behavior cause it was successful, they did not think they were going to win anyways.

RobbieFry131 votes

Wow you are way too serious. It's just a game, me quitting really didn't have any lasting ramifications on anyone's life.

And you really didn't need to address my single hypothetical example of why some one would quit a game with such zeal. You also argued that quite poorly, I mean you can be on high baby drop alert for 2 months and that is assuming the baby isn't premature. Other than your lack of understanding surrounding childbirth your logic is ultimately flawed. By your rational you shouldn't play video games if there is possibly something more important in your life that might come up. And since pretty much everything is more important than video games doesn't that mean that no one should ever play them?

Do people "RQ" in a lot of games you play?that is the first time I did it and Am not sure I have seen it done by anyone else so I really didn't think it was that common, but you seem to feel very strongly about it and I am curious why that is?

Angry Monster1 votes

get proven wrong and then says i am to serious.

Typical

Nik Nikerson1 votes

As a guy that's gone through it a few times, when your wife goes into labor, the potential leaverbuster penalty you're facing is about as far from being important as something can be. And it remains that way for a while. Besides, if you aren't doing it constantly, the system is highly forgiving. Riot understands things come up, and don't punish you if you leave a game once.

If you wanted to see Lux punished, you tough the game out and report afterwards. You chose to remove that option by leaving the game early.

First of all I would Finish the game if my wife was in labor, I've been through that twice and the shorter of the 2 took over 12 hours, lol, but again that was just supposed to be a hyperbole to give context I can't understand why people are fixating on it.

Second I understand how the system works my suggestion is that if there was away to explain why some one is disconnecting it would be more fair. Not just for people to abuse by saying their wife went into labor 2 or 3 times a week, but to give some one an opportunity to leave a game with a toxic player or in some cases team and even if you are penalized with a leaver buster for it they would still have a chance to report players for bad behavior.

Angry Monster is so fixated on calling me immature for "RQ"-ing that he isn't even acknowledging the point of the post wasn't to complain (I don't really have anything to complain about since I ultimately suffered no lasting consequences) but to voice an idea that would make the system better.

RQ? means what?

Angry Monster1 votes

rage quit.

you left in anger/ frustration about something, instead of playing the game out.
