Which would you prefer?

Someone who ints, but says nothing, or someone whose amazingly toxic? Personally I'd prefer someone toxic but still playing well. At least I can mute the toxicity. Can't to much against someone hard or soft feeding :(

Edit: Oof I guess I should have seen the downvotes coming. Just an honest question. I just see a lot of focus from Riot games to crack down really hard on people who are toxic. So I was trying to see where the consensus was on, if people felt dealing with toxicity was more problematic or if watching someone intentionally feed a game while being relatively pleasant in chat was more frustrating to deal with. Heres some context; not trying to say I'm either, but I pose the question because both have recently happened to me and I felt one was much worse than the other. I felt as though I could take a roasting from a stranger as I also casually go back and forth with some brutal roasts with my own friends in good fun, although watching someone very clearly feeding a game that was pretty even, we're talking like 1-20 running 1 v 5 when our team isn't anywhere near and all enemies are visible type of feeding.

If they were mutually exclusive I would care about your hypothetical. However, since I can't just go "Hey buddy, how about you flame me so you can become god tier." then it is shit. This hypotheical comes up every so often and it is still stupid as shit.

Bad players can still grief. Good players can still grief. Bad players can flame. Good players can flame.

Lol this is like the fourth time ive seen this thread. Almost the exact same as the others.

Anyway, neither are preferred at all. Why would you have a preference to have a toxic player or inter? How bout neither?

I would choose no disruptions to the game, period. Lesser of two evils is horseshit. I want them all gone.

Where are the choices for someone who int AND flame and someone who's amazing AND says nothing?

You do know when you have 2 variables, you will have 2^2 = 4 choices right? #Math

I'd prefer to lose while someone quietly and politely ints rather than win with a verbally toxic asshole on my team.

YMMV

In a hypothetical situation where someone had to flame to play god like vs having an inter, I would take the flamer.

That being said, I would still mute (and depending on the type of flame report.

This gets asked pretty often, but most of the regular posters here will refuse to answer it. Obviously anyone who is playing to win would rather have someone flaming. You already answered the question yourself- you can mute a flamer but you can't do anything about someone feeding.

This kind of question is useless to ask on these boards mate. You're gonna get the "punish both" comments when that wasn't even the argument. No one understands a hypothetical
