Fuck. Off.

Stop getting in everyone's fucking business because they're not playing exactly like your idea of a fucking perfect player is. Stop inting because they did something that you fucking perceive as wrong. Stop fucking spam pinging just because someone decides to make a different play than you want. This shit is getting so old. Just focus on your own god damned play, because it sure as hell isn't perfect. But you don't see the rest of us on the team pointing it out, flaming you for it, do you?

Edit: A response I keep on seeing is how it ios a team game, and how your team is making you lose, so you flame them. THAT IS NOT THE NORMAL RESPONSE! That is the response of someone who has anger issues and needs to get help. The normal response is looking to see how you can run damage control, and seeing what your win conditions are, and working towards those. Sure , people get upset at their teammates for making a poor play, but normally people do not flame their teammates do to that play.

I like to tell people how to play their champions and flame because I generally know them better than they do (I’m silver, but most likely belong in Challenger).

It really grinds my gears when I tell people who are probably one tricks what they should be doing on their champ, because I know with great certainty that I’ve seen someone do something different than them on said champ before, and they aren’t doing exactly that. Whether I actually know the champ or not doesn’t matter, because in the end when we’re all being completely honest, I’m right and they’re wrong. If they knew how to one trick they wouldn’t be in Silver (I’m only stuck because of team mates like them, I have really bad luck that nobody else has).

In addition to these cases of people not listening when I clearly know their champ and role better than them, I’m also forced to flame because i often go 1/8/0 due to bad team mates. If everyone would just follow me this wouldn’t be an issue. Also worthless jungles don’t help matters (they’re generally all worthless, when I win lane it’s because of my extreme talent only).

So you may say “Fuck. Off” but to you sir, I say git gud, because it’s people like you (and every team I’ve ever gotten in Silver) that keep me from reaching Challenger where I belong.

Good day.

P.S. I know I’m not perfect, but I’m damn close. As stated above, I will continue to focus on your play and not mine, because I already know I belong in Challenger.

I can understand the rage, since for several several points in my time with League, I'd succumbed to it and begun acting the same, both contextually and even verbally to an extent. The things I've learned is that feeding into it only makes it worse, unfortunately. Bullies look for a trigger to reward their efforts, and in terms of online bullying, it's a damned near perfect recipe of disaster at their finger tips, and they are usually fully aware of it. It's why I've made it a point to keep tabs on just myself, and respond in turn to those who feel the need to bring their toxic behavior to a game, with a report in turn, and on some rare occasions, some reverse psychology for the fun of it.

"Stop inting because they did something that you fucking perceive as wrong. " Good post, although flamers and inters are 2 different problems

You sound like a flamer. Ironic.

Quick look at your match history. First time picking yasuo in ranked. Feeding like hell, being useless. In one game going ap yasuo which is complete trolling and getting hard carried by team. Was it that way of playing that your team didn't like? I guess it was that so they had all the right in the world to call you out for all this.

First of all, I truly agree with what you said. I do want to say though, that flaming is the embodiment of anger and people get angry all the time for whatever reasons. There is no justification in flaming but it is somewhat of a natural occurrence. If someone is in a long loosing streak, and he is convinced that it's his feeding teammates that are bringing him down every game, flaming in that situation would be completely normal. Not morally right, but it makes sense. I recall a time where I got demoted an entire division through AFKs in every single game (real unlucky but it happened) and I wanted to kill myself at the end. I wasn't flaming in chat or in game, but I was screaming in front of my laptop irl. It's a pathetic thing to do I agree, but I think it was natural for me to do so in that situation.

I hate players that nit-pick at every little thing you do wrong, with pings. It's annoying when you're doing bad, and just downright idiotic when you're doing good.

Stop flaming flamers fucking flamer fuck off.

I don't see anything about the people who start flaming because you try to help them play better.

"Do X and you will be better at Y" "fuck off and focus on your own gameplay!"

Your game play is my business. League is a team game. Your actions directly affect my game state. It is not unexpected for some humans to express displeasure at a perceived wrong doing.

But you don't see the rest of us on the team pointing it out, flaming you for it, do you?

There is a difference between "flaming" and "pointing out mistakes". At least, outside of League there is.

Words can be muted. If words are affecting your game play, mute the words. For the love of Teemo, do not sit there and willingly read negativity, then complain about it.

The most annoying one to me is people who spam ping my build. It seems that every single time things don't go the way I would like, there is at least one person who spam pings my Tear when I'm playing Taric.

I have 700k mastery on Taric. You probably don't even know what his passive does.

Frustration is part of the game. Expressing your frustration through verbal attacks is NOT. I don't know why people think being frustrated is a good excuse to berate their teammates. Frustration is what makes winning and making good plays feel good. If everything was always good all the time and you couldn't lose, the game would be boring like playing exclusively against bots. Embrace the frustration! Don't try to blow it off onto other people. That will only get your account banned in the long run.

Or you could just press the mute button and encourage your friendly teammates to do the same so you don't instigate the flamer. I literally almost never have problems with flamers anymore because of this technique and I haven't been tilted by a teammate in an extremely long time. 99% of the time flaming only gets bad because people instigate. I've had very rare situations where the flamer gets mad because people mute them and so they afk, but I haven't had a single one of those since I left bronze in like season 2. I do think riot should implement more features into the mute button such as post game muting, deleting all the text of the person you just muted (ex: if someone says kys and then you mute them the kys gets deleted), etc. Honestly, if you don't mute the flamer, you're being pretty much just as immature as them. Also with your own logic, not muting someone and just listening to them yell at you "IS NOT THE NORMAL RESPONSE" you should do what's best for yourself and your emotions and mute them.

there is no "healthy" way to tell someone theyre fucking stupid. sometimes the truth just hurts deal with it stfu and try to improve. Its not salty to ping your flash cause you got caught and had full sums. You suck. You dont like it? Well then dont suck

Why so much swearing? I understand that you don't like flamers or whatever, but swearing makes your post childish and classless. If this "thread" was intended to be like a puke on the screen, then more power to you I guess.

Get good and you don't get flamed. I have played poorly in games and got flamed, but when I play well I don't get flamed. I would flame people who play bad too because they need to know they are bad. People who get mad from being flamed are just scared to admit they are bad and the flamer is correct. You should take being flamed a lesson to stop sucking dick
