Any suggestions on how to be less toxic when being blamed?

When i first started the game I thought to myself I won't be toxic over a game. I kept most of that. If i'm in a game and botlane feeds hard. I don't care (well, i do care but i don't type anything other than suggestions because I know better, I never start an argument.). If our jungler is 0/10/0 I don't care. As far as i'm concerned he is having a bad day. But when I do bad, and someone blames me I get a little angry. But if someone does some questionable things like 1v3 then blame me I blow up now. I can't stand it when someone blames me or starts blaming someone else. for example I was playing Azir, and I made a few mistakes like not taking flash and not noticing and accidentally giving a kill with my E and my adc, who was already mad at your Yasuo turned their anger to me and I got really mean real fast. I know you should just mute them but it's really hard to let them trash talk you and just be there like: ... okay. It feels like i'm submitting to them. I was low and I recalled and he swore at me for recalling and I blew it.I became hella toxic then muting him for a bit. Problem is that this behavior is rare but now I stopped ignoring the blame game and it might eventually get me banned. The only time I don't blow up on someone who is toxic to me is if it's clear that they have no idea what they are talking about so I just don't reply or i say they are wrong and mute them.

Oh and I get really triggered when someone bans my champion. I always want to do some kind of weird off meta thing like Azir adc mid but the closest thing to off meta is Nocturne mid. Which isn't even off meta anymore some people actually play him mid now.

Just two.

  1. The golden rule. Treat yourself how you want to be treated. Think, would I be cool with some random dude saying this to me?

  2. Think.

mute the comment section as pings are there for communicating

My suggestion is something of a mix of 0i1n7i0t8's and ALegoPiece's - mute the player who's blaming you. Don't give them a reaction, and don't make the effort to defend yourself - you know you aren't at fault, and trying to say so really isn't worth it. Just mute them, report them post-game, and move on.

As with ALegoPiece's second suggestion...

Think.

That, I feel, needs more said about it. I don't know what they mean by it, but, here's how I'd explain it:

Think over and over and over again about what it is you're trying to say. Think it once, think it twice, think it three times - "am I defending myself, or am I attacking them?" "Is this the best way to say it?" "Do I even need to say this?" - etc.

More often than not, you'll ultimately settle on not saying anything, but if you do happen to say something still, thinking it over so much may have refined it to the point that it's not a risky thing to say.

Also, in regards to another person's comment, do not ever tell someone "kys". Ever. Doing so will get you banned fast.

Use /MUTE ALL in your matches

  • You will focus more on game objectives,map, positioning etc

The time you spend reading/typing is time you are not using to maximize your chance of winning your match.
