A few weeks ago I had a 14 day ban, since then I have started muting all because Id rather not lose my account. Its been going very well for me.

STILL 4/5 GAMES I GET REPORTED FOR VERBAL ABUSE...

Literally will say:

"glhf" then mute all. Ill type "ty" or "gj" after good plays and "ggwp" win or lose.

This community is a joke. A bunch of salty french fries who report people every game because its an option. You can check my match history, win or lose I'm carrying every game. Out of the last 10 games there are 3 loses from my team surrendering while all flaming each other even though most likely I could have saved the game. I'm simply being reported for playing Soloq as a solo player which the boards has recommended and told me to do over and over again. 2 of those loses were with toxic friends and I should have played on my alt account with them instead of this one because they lose more often than not by surrendering winnable games.

I'm not saying I am a pro or super good at league, I am just saying I am being reported even though I am following the summoners code and personally I feel being the better player in my lobbies. This is just pointing out that the ban system makes people play games with intents on getting somebody banned every time they lose...

Edit: Being down voted for improving my behavior as a player...

Hey Tocosrevenge,

Others here have mentioned, but the notice you received about being reported isn't an "official" warning like a chat restriction or in-game ban. It's simply a notification to you that you've been reported. Ideally, it will help you reflect on your own behavior in game and think about some ways you can adjust it.

With that said, I took a closer look at your account. The good news? The level of chat toxicity has gone down dramatically. It really shows that you're putting a lot of effort into how you act, and so far it seems to be paying off.

The bad news? Although the volume and degree of toxic chat has decreased, you sometimes still act in a way that is rude to other players. For example, in a recent game you were upset that your ADC was playing a more passive game in bot lane. After telling them to be aggressive you threatened to leave the lane if they didn't. When they didn't do what you wished you decided to roam the entire game while making passive aggressive comments about matchmaking.

NOW! Don't get me wrong here. You want to win. I like winning too. But it's always important to know your limitations as well as those of your team mates. Most importantly know that you can't control your team mates, nor can you force them to do something they don't want to do. Sometimes we get teammates that perform well, sometimes we get teammates that perform poorly. Their performance is largely on them, not you. So consistent prodding and poking through chat isn't going to get them to play better. Threats are not going to get them to play better. Passive Aggressiveness is not going to get them to play together, and giving up on a lane all together is DEF not going to get them to play better.

In times like those, give a word of advice, but if it doesn't work, then stop. Focus on your own game from that moment on. Stay positive to keep team morale up, but focus on your own play. Maybe you wish you were the ADC because you could cs better, but it doesn't matter anymore, because someone else is. So the amount of CS they get is not in your control, but your own performance is.

I know it sounds counter intuitive. "How will bad team mates improve if I don't tell them they're bad and making mistakes?" But an online game like League of Legends is a bit different then a game we play in person built around team work. I find in online games it's less about direct confrontation. That makes people defensive and resentful and much less likely to want to listen to you. Leadership in a game of random internet strangers is a bit more abstract; it's not through threats and orders but through keeping a positive tone, making your team mates WANT to play and WANT to keep trying, and ultimately guiding them to their destination with a subtle hand.

Kind of like herding a group of cats.

False reports don't do anything. So if you aren't flaming /being toxic, you have nothing to worry about.

While you say you improved your behavior as a player, what you included in this post says the opposite.

This community is a joke. A bunch of salty french fries who report people every game because its an option.

Not good words to prove to us your change.

I feel being the better player in my lobbies.

Wrong attitude, sorry.

If you're doing nothing wrong, those false reports won't do anything to you. Continue with what you're doing and you should be fine.

Seriously, though, good on you for making an effort to correct your behavior :)

question?

if you

"glhf" then mute all. Ill type "ty" or "gj" after good plays and "ggwp" win or lose.

How do you know they are flaming?

Out of the last 10 games there are 3 loses from my team surrendering while all flaming each other even though most likely I could have saved the game.

Somehow what your saying doesn't add up.

So wait, you mute everyone and still type "ty" and "gj"? What purpose does that serve?

Also, you mute everyone and know they are flaming? wut.

Also also, if you're not saying anything "toxic", they why are you crying about being reported? Not like anything is going to happen.

Seems to me like you're just trying to circle jerk the threads with the "omg league community so toxic" sob story.

You DO realize that you're asking us to believe you at face value when you have had prior bans (even a 2 weeks one) and side with you when you're saying that this community is a joke? For all I know you're toxic as hell and you're just covering your ass or plain delusional.

Reports DONT matter. Consider them like lawsuits in the US. Any fool can file a lawsuit and if it has no merit then it will instantly be thrown out.

Just like your reports if what you say is true...

Also, if you are never being punished (after the 14 day ban)... then the reports really don't matter?

Finally... if people consistently make bad reports with no merits then their reports will be given less significance with the system.

It's against the rules to leave a lane?

That happens to me all the time but I haven't been suspended in like... a full year (2000 games or so).

Don't worry about false reports.
