First time getting banned since starting pre season one story

So here goes,

I queue up for ranked excited as shit to play, I am in a super good mood cheery and all, I act extra nice in champ select asking if people want first pick, saying goodluck and to have fun before the game starts and what not. Then the game starts, i tell the enemy team goodluck, try to start up friendly conversation before the minions hit the lane, no one talks.(completely fine with)

And then it happens, i get tp ganked bottom in a 2v2 fight, i die, not a huge deal, they used some summoners and TP, completely fine. My adc starts raging at me saying it's a 1v2 lane before we even hit level 4 in the game. So i tell him i'm going to roam because i noticed the top laner was still bottom and their jungler was top lane holding wave, and i gank mid with our jungler, it's successful, the mid laner spam pings me back away from the wave after i help gank and blow a flash/get a kill, and says to fuck off, that's fine too I suppose. I still stay cheerful (hard to believe right? I got banned, must be a reason, well just you wait). We get a gank from our top laner, after getting bullied around in lane for a while, and lucian proclaiming it's my fault he's doing poorly because i roamed to kill mid, jungler also raging/flaming me every time i make a mistake(i died one or two more times in lane because the enemy lane got super ahead). This is where I start to blow my fuse a bit, I say some profanity, I basically tell them all to fuck off and leave me alone and stop flaming me. top lane ganks bot again, dives, dies to turret, I follow in to support her because we really had no choice at this point, we both die. Top laner decides to say "Why did you dive?" and then my jungler/adc flame extra hard this time. At this point I was apologizing for my earlier mistakes and trying to play safer.

And then it happens, i finally snap. After years of playing this game I finally let the flamers get the best of me, and I explode on them, I use words I never usually ever use, I go full ham in chat. Everyone else on the team wasn't doing well either, but they felt the need to all funnel their hatred and flame onto me every time something went wrong in the game, calling me dumb, calling me an idiot, spam pinging me, regardless of my apologies and still giving effort to win. I finally snapped because I honestly broke the point of patience I could only hold for so long. You can only get flamed so much until you finally snap, and that's exactly what they wanted from me, to snap, and I gave it to them. I called them pussies, I called them %%%gots, I called them flaming pieces of shit, i told them to fuck off in every aspect and to leave me the fuck alone, I told them I don't want to win the game anymore when all 4 of my team members riding me so hard on every mistake I make. Did I deserve my ban? Yes I did. Would I do it again? Nope. Do i regret doing it? A little. Should I have put them on ignore? You're damn straight I should have. But for some reason this game in particular, I was just astonished that ALL four of my teamates were so toxic and rude, and down right disgusting to me, I really couldn't believe it.

So yes, I deservingly got a 2 week ban, and i honestly don't feel sorry for it. I'll do my time, and I probably won't do that ever again. But I'm just amazed at the pure shittyness this community has developed into lately. Not everyone is toxic, many people are nice, and just want to play. But when you're flamed that immensely no matter how bad you're playing, there is no excuse for it at all, and even the nicest person can break at times. They all report me after game, I get banned for 14 days, and boom here I am making a post to share my story lol

I guess I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the grotesque amount of angst and hate in this community recently, because I know I'm not the only one. I have multiple friends who don't want to play anymore because the community is just so terrible, hence why I have to play solo queue on my own with strangers. The right thing to do is ignore them, move on to the next game, and blow it off. But honestly that gets very very difficult when the majority of my games are like this.

Anyways just thought I'd share this funny/immature outburst I had! Most people would try to hide their behavior like this, but I just wanted to come here and say, keep your head up if the community is making you feel like shit, you're not the only one and there are other good people out there. Don't do the same thing I did and learn from my mistake xD

I upvoted but ONLY because you used paragraphs, not because I had time to read.

here's what you do:

  1. Ditch Rift (normal/ranked), play ARAM, all in 1 lane so a lot less mistakes to be made to ruin your game, and when stupid people do it, it really shows, so they can't blame you ...
  2. of course, there will be times people will still make it out to be your fault, making you the scapegoat regardless of how nice or how good you are, and that is why it is essential to mute everyone when your game starts!
  3. it has a lot less constraints compared to Rift games, and costs less time. Although ARAM offers less rewards like no mastery points, no rank rewards, etc, but none of those things are worth giving you high blood pressure.

99.99% of the time whenever someone thinks their entire team is toxic.... THEY are the toxic ones.

But I'm just amazed at the pure shittyness this community has developed into lately.

I'm hesitant to mention it again because I can't source it but; If I recall, we are playing in the era of the lowest toxicity League of Legends has ever seen. You are blatantly wrong.

The ranked scene is HORRID in terms of player behavior or respect. They'll cry about anything and only make it worse on their own team with flaming.

A good way I keep myself from cracking like you have is I only ranked duo and skype, that way if I have anything to vent it is through voice chat.

I kinda hope you reported them aswell :P

Never rise to the bait; people that feel entitled to flame have never been punished or they are in progressive punishments. Flame once, advise that their feedback is noted, and you will try harder. Flame twice; mute and report - that's my personal process every match. There are some people that will flame for absolutely nothing, and no good comes of responding or even listening to them.

Before people say "But muh team communication" - Nope, if they started flaming, they decided to stop playing tactically and flame - that's not team communication.

If anything your entire team deserved ban equivalent to what you received, but we won't be hearing from them. Pretty frustrating, but this is the kind of community we're dealing with and that's why sometimes I have to pretend that I don't speak english so they'd stop.
