"I see that this player has been verbally harassing me because he is upset, so I will mute him."

But wait what is this? It does not stop him from continuing to harass me by using pings and spamming me every five seconds.

If only there was some way to fix that so I could focus on the game...

There is. Put ping volume to 0. If the symbol alone is enough to throw you off then you have other issues.

You're right. I should have to hide my chat and ignore all the "?" icons on my corpse. Being upset or annoyed about that means I have "other" issues.

Congratulations, acknowledgment is the first step towards recovery.

For someone who hangs around this Board, you sure are a dick.

lol I gave you the solution that I personally use. I mute pings and that is all I need because the pings are what distracts me since I play champs that thrive on hearing the sounds of abilities being used in order to shield or dodge them. If someone pining ? on your corpse is enough to make you rage then yea, you have other issues.

I gave you a solution, you added the sarcasm, if I was you I'd step back and think who the dick really is.

That's not a solution. Insulting me because I'm bothered by something that consistently happens that I have no control over isn't a solution, nor is telling me to "just ignore it".

Having your corpse, your death timer, you, and everywhere you go ping spammed for 30 minutes is infuriating. It's not just a me-problem and being frustrated about it doesn't mean I have "other issues".

That's like telling a child who's upset about being bullied to "get over it, or you have other issues you need to work out and he'll just stop bullying you once you get over yourself."

Doesn't work.

This isn't something that all people experience on a regular enough basis to be a problem... it might be a you-problem...

You mean you don't play with 1-2 extremely toxic people every game?

Man, I sure am jealous of you!

Just because your experience has been different does not negate mine.

I play with toxic people pretty much every game. As I said, I have my ping volume at 0. I'm able to ignore the visual of the ? ping. I am an adult and do not rage over something that doesn't matter.

Good on you. Things that don't bother you still bother other people. I, too, am an adult, and I try too keep myself as in-check as possible, however it becomes very difficult for me to do so when I constantly see my chat box filled with my death timer and visually watching "?" 's pop up all over my screen.

If it's not an issue you have, that doesn't mean it's not an issue at all.

Why do you put value into their opinion? By putting value into their opinion it gives them the power which seems to cause you to be upset. When people say stuff to me in game I've learned to step back and think "Why does anything this person says matter?" More often than not the person that is talking the most trash is also the one that is contributing the least to the team. It would be if you went for a walk and a homeless person started screaming at you that you don't pay high enough taxes. Would that bother you or would that make you giggle inside a bit?

That's not the problem? The mute feature exists. I use to to ignore the shit talking.

But it doesn't stop all the rest of the harassment. It should.
