Bully Mentality

Im a Trap·5/26/2018, 3:21:55 AM·4 votes·3,556 views

This company allows the worst bully mentality I've ever seen among any other video game in the 20 years I've been playing online video games. They allow people to aggressively message you and aggravate you and you have to just deal with it silently. It's as bad as being a victim without a voice considering they don't care about reports you send unless a plethora of players report the player at the same time, which almost never happens. If you have people harassing you and you try to deal with it in the same way they're speaking to you, you'll get banned or muted. Half the time, if you're not playing your best, your teammates will team up on you, too, and you have to just mass mute/ping mute everybody in the game. Every person I've had swearing at me or harassing me all game has never given me the confirmation message that their toxicity has been seen after I've reported them. I've been playing this game for 10 years and I'm so sick of dealing with the toxic players every other game and being made to feel like every person harassing me is my fault because I'm the one getting muted or reported for responding to toxic players. Am I the only one that feels this way? I'm so sick of being blamed by my whole team in a team game for things that are not even in my control and just having to shut up about it and deal with it every game.

You don't have to shut up and deal with anything. You're free to mute them.

If you choose to instead bully them back, you're no longer a victim.

They don't allow people to aggravate and harass other players - those kinds of people get punished pretty swiftly. And you don't have to deal with it silently - you can mute the player and squelch their communication.

...considering they don't care about reports you send unless a plethora of players report the player at the same time, which almost never happens.

No, multiple simultaneous reports do not do anything more than a single report. All reports do is flag a game for review, and any report after the first is disregarded.

If you have people harassing you and you try to deal with it in the same way they're speaking to you, you'll get banned or muted.

Because counterflaming is still flaming. If you flame them back, you're no longer a victim, you're part of the problem.

Every person I've had swearing at me or harassing me all game has never given me the confirmation message that their toxicity has been seen after I've reported them.

There's no guarantee you'll get that message. It's rarely occurring, and it doesn't show you if your report was validated without a punishment being issued (which, yes, that is a possibility, depending on how severe the chat was and how frequently the player misbehaves.)

...for responding to toxic players.

Do not respond to toxic players. If they're just going to be assholes, they're not worth the time of day, and they're certainly not worth your account to respond to them. Mute them, report them, and move on.

well i know for sure one thing you are def getting flamed for. YOU DON"T WARD. Support main, you have multiple games where you bought 1 control ward and only placed 7 wards the entire game. So bottomline you don't do your job

HI I totally agree, league just cares about adopting more players into their BETA and never issue any type of violent behaviors from other players or your own teammates. i mean, seriously? report button? I've might've reported a lot of people but I doubt they got banned or got a warning. It's the worse, but it is what it is. There will always be toxic people in this game and this type of behavior, as long as Riot allows it.
