So when I am playing a normal game or a game on my smurf account and someone from my team trash talks me for a play I made or for whatever, Is it too toxic to say "Sorry can't hear you from down in {player's division}" ? If it is toxic I will stop saying it. (I know I can mute the player in order for them to not tilt me, but I do not tilt from my teammates.. well at least on games that aren't solo Q on my main)
Lunar Lunacy2 votesIf that's really all you said then no I don't think it's a serious enough offense to be reportable. But it's definitely not conducive to helping you win, because even if you aren't getting tilted you may be tilting the other players. If you are looking up their ranks during the match that's even worse.
And a player's rank can only say so much about their level of skill honestly, for example I have thousands more normals games than I have ranked games because that was all I was playing for years pretty much, so I started last season bronze when now I'm almost plat. Just an example.
Zed genius1 votesi know it's a pointless thing to say and it definitely doesn't help us win, I am completely aware of it
Jo0o1 votesIt's certainly negative.
Probably not enough on its own to actually get you in trouble, but it's not gonna help anybody. Why start a fight with your teammates? For the sake of letting you get in a mediocre zinger, you're gonna distract from the game and potentially tilt your teammates, or even provoke them to troll.
Zed genius1 votesnot really starting it, it's a response to others flaming
Jo0o2 votesEscalating, then.
If some asshole flames you and you ignore him/mute him, that's kinda all there is to it. The game can go on, unless they're truly determined to troll you, but that's rarely the case if you're not engaging them. However, if you DO fight back, then you can easily escalate the situation, to the detriment of all involved.
