Do Flaming, Blaming, and Being Toxic Help People to Win Games?

(This is my secondary account to cover everyone's identity)

Short story: Instead of blaming others in a toxic way, you should teach them what did they do wrong in a friendly way. Lose as a team, win as a team.

Long Story: So today, I am queueing low ELO flex with my friends, and there's a toxic teammate in my team. He is mad and blaming my friends and me for being dumb teammates. Since I am being called as a dumb teammate and I wanted to improve. So, I went to watch the replay and see what I did wrong. Then, I noticed that my friends and I should not be 100% responsible or the mistake. Here are the things that he blamed his team.

(To make things clear, mid is me, ADC is friend 1, Supp is friend 2, top is the toxic guy, and jg is just a random guy.)

The first thing that he blames: Vision. He blames the support for not warding enough. I honestly think this is the only thing that he said is correct. It's quite true that we don't have vision. However, he could've stated in a friendly way instead of calling people a %%%%%%. One more thing is that he is over pushing when there's no vision. This gives the other team some free kills.

The second thing that he blames: Not helping. In the early game, he is getting ganked by the mid lane, and he's down to half health. Then the enemy jungle punished him by tower diving him. At that moment, he blames me for not helping top. Meanwhile, I am helping bot to get turret. Yet he blames me for farming instead of helping him. At first, I was like I am only taking 50% of the blame, not 100%. After watching the replay, I've finally know the truth. The truth is, there are actually around 40 secs for him to recall, and he also had his teleport up. Instead, he stayed and got punished. Instead of blaming others, he should learn that he's overstaying. Moreover, he should actually check the mini map more often. I am actually in the bot lane, and not farming in the mid lane. I also pinged that I am OMW to bot.

My friends and I never blamed him for losing stupid 1v1s, and we never voted yes in the surrender vote. In one of them, he flashed into the enemy to re-engage and died. In the other one, he died against an enemy who's 2 level lower with around 1500 gold behind. Because of the second 1v1, we actually lost top the inhib turret. When you lose in 1v1, your team is not going to take the blame. You are the one who's responsible for your own death, at least 99.9999999% responsible for it. He could've avoided 1v1 by being less aggressive, and more passive. He could've flashed away instead of flashing into the enemy. He died in a 1v1 and lost top the inhibitor. Instead, he blames others for not helping again and blamed others for losing.

Overall, I am not going to blame you for losing because we win as a team, we lose as a team. Don't make us look like we are responsible for 100% of the decision, please. When you are tilting, don't make your team tilt too. Being toxic only gives you negative effects.

Welp, if you have read this far, then thanks for reading <3

Listen man, i get your point, try to be positive. But for players who have been playing for years, its way too hard. Do you know what i've been through with my best friends just because of League. This game is made to create conflict. Hell, its not even a game, its literally hell. Everytime you hop in a game there is always an istalocker, flamer or someone who is bad at the game and blames their team. Im done with this game, Fuck league of legends and fuck riot too.

This sounds exactly like what happened to me yesterday lol. I just argued with my irl friend who's performing quite bad and flames the jungle. My friend wants me to flame the jungle. But instead, I told my friend to play passive, which he thinks that I am helping the jungler lol. Then, he's mad at me, so he told my other irl friend that I suck xD. Though, my other irl friend told him that he made a big mistake. Now what I am doing is just recording the mistake footage to him, so that he can learn and stop arguing with me xD. Welp, at least you found a way out of this game, so good luck!

Need footage to be sure but sounds like he needed help which is the jungles job as I was told the said advice not only got me silver out of the gate but probably would have got me up to gold in a reasonable amount of games if I hadn't quit. BTW it was mundo jungle that got me there and I'm not 100 percent sure because I'm just a nub bit pretty sure that's not a very good pick all and all and if would done way better with a proper meta jungle pick

Would be nice if the league of legends player base would keep the league of legends drama here instead of taking it with them where ever they go

Yup. If Riot does nothing they aren't getting a dime from me anymore.

They can't help to win games if they blame too much. Next time if you see them rage,let them cause you will report on what they did.

Edit: This is a team game not a free for all.

Yeah, I pretty much mentally muted the Riven midway through the game. Though I didn't actually mute him just in case he says something instructive. Of course, I'd report him xD

Good, cause you report him on what he did and rage. =D

The answer is yes the is why mentality. Only in league of legends can you be pure cancer and have a report system to shield you from peer to peer critism

Last I checked you have to ask permission to say anything

I'm sure most of you have seen a game where some one bot six boots and walked down mid. Kool story if you "flamed-im using this loosely and sarcastically- " the cancer. You probably got reported same as you reported him thanks to their automated system. The mentality difference from league to other games as I've seen it is the "bad players-riots phrase not mine" have no reason to improve because it's not there fault even if you spelled it out after "WTF" in other games that "flaming" makes the filthy casual actually think and stop playing there passive this is what I always do and start doing an active this is what the team needs. Anyone who finally bothered to do there home work to get out of bronze or silver even gold should have even if only a slight inkling to what I'm referring to in regards to player behavior.

Riot causes you to play silently around the "shitters-my current favorite word for these clowns-" which causes most games to be high stress and causes you to pray that they get a slight inkling that they are doing something they shouldn't which is why they ended up 1-20 -_- There is a difference between flaming and being an asshole no they are not one in the same like riot would have you believe.

They ban people for libtard sjw while it's a negative term it is first in foremost a group designator riot has the same issue the sjw trash has which is why this game will stay ranked as one of the most toxic games in history ever.

Some cultures are inferior, some ideas are inferior, and some values like riots sjw tendencies are inferior.

Most of the people like me who have quit league will say the same thing love the game hate the garbage player base and worse company.

You guys probably think I'm lying or joking when I say I've met people 15-45 that say

Don't solo que always play in a pre-made group.

Riot doesn't care so don't bother less you see a shit storm.

Don't bother using any of the chats it will eventually lead to a ban of some sorts.

There is a reason this community is considered one of the most toxic and the biggest reason is riots sjw tendencies.
