Guy Told Me To "Off Myself" In After Game Lobby. Over a Video Game.

GET 2 MY LVL KID·10/17/2018, 2:39:01 AM·1 votes·1,646 views

Hey guys just had a rather disturbing experience with a player by the name of <removed by moderation>. This guy had his champ accidentally banned (not by me another teammate) and he raged and tried to force a dodge by saying he was going to "run it down" the entire game, and then when we refused to dodge he went ahead and backed up those words by doing it.

He ended up intentionally feeding the entire game dying like 26 times or so. After trolling everyone and wasting everyone's time, he went in the after game lobby and continued to troll everyone in typing, basically trying to flaunt that he intentionally fed and made us lose on purpose. I stood up to him and asked everyone in the game to please report which made him mad, and that's when he told me to "Go off myself" which I could only assume means to go kill myself.

I know it's just a video game and he was flaming/trolling and trying to get a reaction, and he probably doesn't really mean to go kill myself, but suicide is an extremely real thing and that's not something to just toss out at someone in any fashion over a video game. I don't expect anyone to believe me, but I lost my sister to suicide and she was a light in this terrible dim world we live in. I take anyone joking or who thinks suicide is funny very seriously and don't find anything funny about it. I'm not going to go on, because I'm not looking for sympathy, but just imagine waking up every day of your life, looking in the mirror, hating everything about your life including yourself, and legit want to take your life, and then come to laugh in my face about suicide when you've experienced that.

I know this won't accomplish much, and the game client has already notified me that he's received a penalty, but what he said really struck a nerve with me, and I had to do something about it. I tried to friend request him after, not to go off on him, but just to inform him on the seriousness of suicide, but of course he just denied the friend request.

Again, his name is <removed by moderation>. I don't hate the guy or nothing, I know he was just flaming me, but I just don't want others getting hurt by his words. It's a game dude you don't involve people's real life and family in any fashion, joking or not. I know a lot of immature people who know nothing about anything will think I'm mad, get a good laugh out of this post, and respond by trolling, but I don't care. I had to at least say something and try to do anything I could.

suicide is the full responsibility of the person performing the deed, not the offender. just saying. if you kill yourself because some random person on the internet told you to, then you have serious issues. those people in question should have not played a multiplayer online game with chat in the first place. they should have gotten help from a professional first at least.

anyways, no one really thinks deeply of the word "kys" because they dont really expect someone will actually do it. its pretty much like "go fuck yourself": you dont really excpect anyone to have sexual intercourse with theirselves? "kys" is pretty much a way to tell someone your serious,its meant to exaggerate someones tone.

all i can tell you is to get over it, dont let the comments of an online stranger get to you, it will only cause more harm than good.

He can not involve anyone's real life in the game. YOU INVOLVED YOUR LIFE IN THE GAME.

He threw stupid bullshit around, and then you took it serious and YOU INVOLVED YOUR OWN LIFE in the game. He's an asshole for saying things like this. But YOU were the one, who took it serious enough to get butthurt come to boards to cry about it, etc etc...

Learn to not give a fck about these people. Words in an online game's chat has no power at all, you give them power by taking it serious...

Having literally held someone I care about back from committing suicide, I have some idea of what kind of loss that must be. You have my sympathies.

I agree, it's totally inappropriate behavior.
