Is it that hard to not be a jerk?

Legitimate question. How does flaming me and my teammates make anything better? Yea I know I'm playing poorly, yea I know I suck at this game/champion, but you are not making anything better, you are making me even more stressed out. I'm sorry. Rant over. Down vote or delete this if you want I just want to know why can't anyone get that they are making this match worse.

I'm sorry. Real life has been so stressful and when I wanted to play a game to calm down about the past 2 weeks I get someone like that. I don't know what I expected to gain from this. I guess I just needed a stupid vent.

If I may suggest, if you need a match or two to calm down in from real life stuff, I'd personally recommend starting up a Custom match with beginner level bots, and just muck about with random champions or comfort champs.

I personally wouldn't know what it is you're going through, but, I hope that you can at least have some respite to it. Sorry that you had to deal with flamers, and I hope things start looking up for you.

I've been having episodes after high levels of stress in the past several days. I have a headache, but I'm fine now. Thanks for the advice. And also the other matches I played before hand were ok (kinda) just this one targeted me specifically even though I could have used help against a tristana top. Thanks for the advice.

Depends on if its normals or not. And also depends on if yer a troll. If it s a normal game you can go adc nami for all i give a shit and go 0 42. In ranked tho i still don't care if you go adc nami but when you go 0 42 I'm gonna tell you to sit the fuck behind your turret even if that means getting 2 farm. You better fucking obey because I'm not playing ranked for your worthless feelings, they don't matter your shitty play does however matter. I'm playing ranked cause i wanna see how high i can go in the ladder and you playing like a brand new player that DOES affect me.

This was norms. Someone raged me in norms. And by the way, I was a top lane Morde against a top Tristana, and almost every death was a tower dive. But what does our jungler do? He gabled me once, and then raged me for the rest of the game.

In one of Buddha’s stories, he encounters an evil man who tried to verbally assault, ridicule and demean him. But then, without success, he gave up. When he asked the Buddha why he didn’t react, the Buddha responded, “If you offer me a gift and I do not respond, to whom does the gift belong?” People can offer us their words or opinions, it can’t hurt us unless we let it first land in our heart and mind.

Just play some ARAM's. Mute all if you need to, but I rarely see assholes in ARAM (Once in a while, but not nearly as frequent as SR).

I honestly never cared for ARAM. I’m sorry, but I don’t like having a randomized set of characters. Either I’m not good at the character I’ve been given, or I feel like the enemy comp is better than ours and I had no control over that. It’s a fun time every now and then, but I’m only in ARAM because a friend invited me. I just like the rift. Plus like I said, most of the day has been going great, it was just that one guy that targeted me for our problems.

But are insults going to solve anything? Is insulting me going to make me the next Faker or Dyrus? Am I snowflake? Probably. But I don’t see a point in insults. This community gets a lot of flack for toxicity, and you are only proving them right.

When you play like crap you don't just effect you. You effect 4 others. If you know you are playing like shit how about you ignore the fuck yous and pay attention to the game mute exists.
