FrankerX·Apr 3, 2016·87 votes·3,475 views

i got it 4 days ago and i swear i never got flamed that much in my entire time playing lol. seriously every time i make a mistake "great teamplayer ribbon eh? not deserved your trash" its not even that i care it was funny at the beginning but now it starts to annoy me. either remove it or give me an option to hide it it really starts to piss me off that everyone thinks i have to be a god player who never makes a mistake because i got a ribbon.

ps: i know this will get a ton of downvotes because 99% here dont know what im going through right now and never will know :/ but thats ok lol

The problem isn't the ribbon, but rather the rarity cause nobody honors people unless they go 50/0/50 so if you actually got it by being genuinely helpful and working as a team, people are confused, since they only honor people that go 50/0/50.. Like literally that's the only time I'm ever honored is if My KDA is over 5

Try complimenting a team in the post-game chat.

Big tip to make things that look otherwise negative into less negative things. Literally just add an emote face like :P. (ex: Stop dying. EVIL. Stop dying D:. Not so bad.)

Same. Feels bad man.

Do you have a gold, plat, diamond, or challenger load-screen border?

I'm guessing not, because people rage about those if you don't carry AFKs and griefers hard enough. You don't even have to make a mistake.

BTW, you might be being too hard on yourself. Some of what you think are mistakes might just be jealous, obnoxious players trying to bring you down to their level.

^This.

I play normals with a challenger sometimes and when they manage to 4 man gank him while he's playing something silly like 6 warmogs malphite the amount of harrasment is funny.

It's like do you guys seriously think he's actually trying in a normal? If so it would be a 1v5 and the rest of us could just afk because we aren't needed.

You can request content be removed from your account through a Support Ticket, so I imagine they can probably remove ribbons too.

Omg can I finally get my Teemo skin removed?

Finally my account can be purged of demons.

JorenciceApr 3, 20161 votes

Hey you finally got a blue name. Congrats. (If I'm like 3 months late on that excuse me lol).

The blue name can be earned ? o.o

TheSlogsApr 3, 20162 votes

Technically yes, but it's more complicated than that. You need to really know your stuff before you are given a blue name.

2ManyJonsApr 3, 20162 votes

Meaning you need to be super nice to the reds when they come around and the'll give you a blue cookie.

No, I did it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Teemo item 3151

Well that's overstating it a little given the fact that there is like 6 arbiters or something.

TheSlogsApr 4, 20161 votes

There are exactly six - Daen Elduris Ulanopo Wuks Jubbinaut Deep Terror Nami

So yeah it's more than just complicated, but explaining it would take effort.

Dude, don't request for your ribbon to removed because of people picking on you. They will still continue to pick on you after it's gone, they'll just find a different thing about you to target (your score, champ you're playing, elo, etc.). They just use the ribbon because it stands out or they're jealous that you actually have one (heck even I'm a bit jealous, I've seen more master+ players in the last two seasons than I have seen players with a ribbon).

I've had the same problem, people making fun of my name whenever I make a bad play, or do poorly. "Smart Kitty, yeah right" "Remember this is a Smart Kitty!" but I like my name, and I'm not going to change it because people want to be mean and salty. They'd still be salty to me if I changed it anyways, they'd just find some other terrible joke to make.

FrankerXApr 3, 20161 votes

yea i know i play since season 2 so im used to it and usually i dont really care but now so many focus on the same thing, the ribbon that is really annoying me.

aww smart kitty thats nice :D

People don't get it that Teamplayer =/= skilled player

And then there's me sitting here with 596 teamwork badges wondering how I even get a ribbon in the first place lol

FrankerXApr 3, 20162 votes

its not about the amount but about the consistency. you need to get at least 1 teamwork every 2 games (its just an example) and after (again example) 50 games you get that ribbon.

Well to expand on this topic I've played about 3000 games total, half of which could be conceivable losses, bringing wins to 1500, and assuming my 596 badges that's about 1 out of every 6 games I've ever played (and to go even further 1 out of every 3 I've ever won) I've gotten someone on my team to honor me for working together with them

To me that's pretty solid evidence that I'm at least doing something consistently right to help my teams

To do some even more math: On the website wasted-on-lol.com it's recorded my hours played as 2084. 2084/596 is around every 3.5 hours I get honored for teamwork. Again, seems pretty consistent to me. I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering how the algorithm isn't seeing this as consistent [slayer-jinx-wink]

LadracApr 4, 20161 votes

I was in the same spot as you...almost everytime I had a bad game, at least 1 teammate started to flame me, saying that people honored me for nothing, that I dont deserve the ribbon...I even got some comments like "hope you die/ hope you beloved ones die soon" and I was like "daamn that escaladed quickly". I am not such a good player, but I try to make good calls, to help my teammates as much as I can, I am friendly....that's why I got some ribbons(the yellow one and the green one), but some people think once you got a ribbon, you should go 20/0/20 every game and carry them or something like this xD and if you have a bad game or the enemy is just better, they ask others to report you. Seems legit xD
