'Toxicity' and its context

HeyBigGuyHeyBudd·12/20/2017, 6:16:39 AM·3 votes·566 views

The kids on here use the cry of 'hes being toxic to' as a shield for trolling, negative behavior, and inting when you call them out on those course of actions. Rito Tribunal system expects that you must be chill for 15-20 minutes while someone comes in game with the sole purpose to make your experience bad. Case in point, Currently GV trying to fix MMR in preseason so I can have a better shot to possibly reach high Gold or Plat next season but 7/10 games are characterized by someone that trolls, ints or displays negative sportsmanlike behavior. Remember Rito, you cannot mute a persons behavior or inting in game, you have to frustrate yourself with that for at least 15 - 20 minutes. So when 1 player lashes out at that/those inters/feeders or neg attituders in game look at the match on a whole and not just extract the alleged offender's 'toxic' attitude when doling out judgment.

If you look on the context of the toxicity youll often realise that the inters/feeders/run down laners/teemo supporters/ afk farmers are the ones who should get harsher punishment.

You make it sound like the freedom to rage at trolls somehow lessens the impact of the trolling. The opposite is more often the case.

This can be initiated at the start of champ select, and outside of game. Where did you even come to the idea that it there's a certain time frame where you can or can't be toxic without consequence?

That is incorrect... Player 1 in your example deserves to be punished as equally as the intentional feeder.

You cannot blame your verbal abuse, toxic attitude or negative comments on the game or any other player.

Every player is 100% responsible for their own actions and speech.

It does not matter if its your promo and you have 2 intentional feeders and an afk..... You still don't have the right to express you dissatisfaction in game in any way shape or form.

Here is the standard copy and paste for this type of attitiued

No matter what anyone says or does in game you are not to react or respond to it in any way shape or form

either mute and or ignore.

There is absolutely no justification to meet negativity with more negativity

Here is a couple of quotes from the mods regarding " defending yourself"

(LET'S NOT FORGET THAT I HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND MY SELF WHEN SOMEONE ATTACKS ME VERBALLY ESPECIALLY ON THE FU*KING INTERNET)

No, you actually don't. This isn't a free speech issue. Riot controls the space, which grants them the authority to set the rules. If they don't want you in their house, you have to leave.

^^^this is a point i wish more people understood ^^^

You still don't have the right to "defend yourself". That has never been a "right" in League. "Defending yourself" is rude, annoying, and turns one toxic player into multiple that your teammates and the enemy have to deal with. And it doesn't actually stop toxicity.

There is no justification for combating negativity with more negativity in a video game.

^^^^^What part of this is such difficult concept to comprehend?????^^^^^^^^

If you are getting angry at the status or outcome of a video game that is a personal issue dealing with emotional stability / anger management. It has nothing to do with Riot , the game , Competitive, legitimate rule breakers or anything else you can come up with.

It also portrays you as an immature childish uncivilized player and person.

If someone intentionally feeds/ afk etc and you flame them for it

you deserve to be punishing just as much as they do.

If someone calls you every name in the book and makes up some new ones -- and you respond

you deserve to be punished just as much as they do.

If someone simply isn't answering your pings , chat or playing the way you think they should and you "call them out"

You deserve to be punished

It does not matter "why" you did it ...the fact is you did . That's the only think that matters in the above cases.

No matter what game mode your in certain things just are not allowed reacting to anything you dont like in game is one of the things not allowed,

In other words you ( according to Riots behavioral policy) have no right to

  • be verbally abusive/ verbally offesive
  • react or "defend yourself" against others being verbally abusive
  • chastise those legitimately breaking the rules
  • Chastise those who you don't agree with
  • complain about anything
  • Rant about any personal grievance in the game
  • giving any type of negative commentary regarding whats happening in the game

Doing any of the above can lead to various punishments including permaban's

So here is the lessons you should take from this on the mature and civilized way to handle things which will also ensure you are following Riots behavioral guidelines

So yes if someone is saying the most vile insults to you ever spoken,

the proper action according to Riot is mute and report without any response including " report x or i'm muting you"

If any amount of people are breaking every game play rule in the book

The proper action according to Riot is ignore them don't respond with anything -- even "report x"

yes you might lose a match and some lP if in ranked its still just a video game and not a serious life or death situation if you do.

and really---

Which is the best coarse of action if you don't want to be punished given Riots current policy?

1 Not reacting or responding in any way shape or form and losing a match and some Lp ...which really has no "real value" and can eventually be replaced

2 Reacting, "defending yourself", "sarcastic " responses, chastising rule breakers or simply just complaining about think you don't like in game and risking losing your entire account that does have monetary value?

The safest option is in other words if you cant say anything positive ..without being sarcastic about it .. don't say anything at all.

If you pick option 2 its inevitable that you will eventually end up perma banned once you reach the top punishment tier.
