Being Toxic, Bullying, and then Passive Agressive

Winterkill··3 votes·601 views

It was my fist time playing Cass mid and I did horrible. I fed the Fizz, who is probably too strong right now, and the player decided to go into ALL chat and say that I was bad 3 times. I asked him politely to stop it and that I was new to Cass and built her incorrectly. He called me bad and continued to bully me throughout the game. At this point, I wanted to mute him but then I decided to file a support ticket against him and show Riot exactly what he was doing to me. I never attacked him and I asked him to stop talking to me. When I said I was reporting him and filing a ticket, he went out of his way to be nice and try to make himself look like a decent player. We all know what you did.

You don't need to go out of your way to tell someone they are doing bad more than five times. You don't need to go out of your way to continue to be negative and gloating towards someone, that specifically asked you politely to stop being negative. The fact that this player continued to insult and gloat about his big number of kills, makes him a bully. He even insulted my team. It wasn't my team. It was because of me and I am fully aware of it. I apologized and never insulted anyone or the Fizz. I just asked to be left alone by the Fizz who, even admitted in lobby chat after the game that he did it on purpose. He said it was "normal" behavior and that he won't get punished for it. Don't justify your behavior and continue to act like that because you think everyone else can.

Riot, please look into my support ticket and ban him. If he is doing this to me . . . he is probably doing it to others. Thanks.

Just mute, report, and move on.

Saying "I'm filing a report against you" is not necessary, and technically can get you punished, so don't do that. 1 report is all it takes, so just report the player if they're bothering you.

But during the game please do mute them if they're becoming an issue. You don't need to sit there and suffer through them talking towards you all game. Just mute, finish the game, report the player, and continue on your day.

Don't dwell on it, and I generally would recommend reporting first instead of filing a support ticket immediately. Riot can't always guaranteed they'll deal with the player after you use a ticket. But if you use the report system then a case will be built against that player should they continue to act like this and receive a report.

Good luck.

Holy fucking shit. Saying you will file a support ticket about the person harassing you is grounds to receive a ban? has riot gone completely batshit insane?

No, it is not an automatic punishment. It just can get you punished if used as harassment. Such as "If you don't gank for me I'm going to report you" or "You better shut up or I'll report you!". But keep in mind, punishment does not equal ban. Punishments can vary between temporary chat bans and suspensions, and permanent bans. It is very unlikely a player will get punished for only that, but it can happen or add onto your case, so it's best to not do it.

A single report is all that is needed, so there is no reason to state you're reporting a player.

I did report him. You also have to say in your ticket that you reported him. They look at it.

Of course haha, I was just wanting to make sure you knew that responding to player reports via Support Ticket isn't always guaranteed :) So I didn't want you to expect immediate punishment towards them when filing it that way. They do indeed look into them, but they just can't always do something about it, hence why it's best to use the IFS reporting system~

Hope that makes sense

Or you know... get a thick skin? you sound way too butthurt

Both, really. Offending party agreed to respect the summoner code and should follow through on that agreement and the offended party doesn't need to sound butthurt. Posting a support ticket and reporting ingame is good enough.

I'm tired of muting every single person. I shouldn't have to mute someone every single game.

I am not actually butthurt at all. I know I did bad and I know I can improve. I just don't need someone telling me it constantly and gloating about how well he did . . . . . I mean what is the point in insulting someone you don't know, you know you are doing better against, you know you are playing a champion that is probably stronger, and you are bullying them? You shouldn't have to be told 4 times politely to please stop being negative. If you are going to act like that, you probably shouldn't be playing competitive games.

You also shouldn't be telling people to develop a thick skin and justify that as a reason for people to treat others like this. Being butthurt and developing a thick skin has nothing to do with insulting someone over, over, over and over again . . . . . when someone has said please stop more than once, never insulted them or instigated a fight, and to stroke an immature player's ego. Bullying someone and then admitting that you did it all on purpose to feed your disgusting behavior, is not a good player. It is a player that probably thinks he is above the law, has the right to insult others, and more. I shouldn't have to alter the way I feel, I play, and how I handle situations because he decided to act like a child.

I asked him politely to stop attacking me and calling me out in all chat. He didn't and did it more than 5 times. He decided to continue his insults and bullying behavior and get the rest of his team involved. Was it necessary? No. It is what it is.

Then you can be like me and go to therapy.

Trust me.

I used to be like you. Now I'm infinitely happier. I used to mute and report everyone and never talk. Now I'm having fun because:

  1. Some people just have crass humor. Laugh at it. Or rolls your eyes.
  2. Some people just like to test you. Either don't play (because it doesn't matter) or smack them right back without escalating the chat. Banter is fun.
  3. Some people are just frustrated (sometimes at you!) Learn to defuse situations. It's useful in real life, too.
  4. A very small amount of people actually want to piss you off for no reason. Your emotions are 100% under your control. What happens is completely in your court.
  5. Sometimes people just have different styles of communication. Be charitable towards people.

Just keep in mind: none of this ultimately matters. Not in the nihilistic sense. What's going to happen from a bad game? Or being insulted? Nothing. Absolutely nothing except what emotions you allow to happen. You'll forget about it by tomorrow. Having control over your emotions is very satisfying and empowering. Getting a thicker skin doesn't mean to hide your emotions and be dead inside. It simply means accepting that people are going to do things you don't like and that you have 100% control over your reaction and that an emotional reaction doesn't help anybody, even you.

Cass/Fizz is a really annoying matchup. I've been fed as all hell on Cass with a shut down fizz and he'll still 2 shot you if he lands an ult. He's all over lane and even your movement isn't all that impressive against it. Lot of people have given you advice about what to do with a troll. Basically, just mute, report and move on. It's not worth losing the mental game over.

The key for the lane matchup though is to keep him at a distance and force him into your q's. Land a q and e as hard as you can while keeping max distance. If he tricksters just run with a w where he should land and keep spamming e. Remember your e heals you if the targets poisoned (if you're low, burning a q and 2-3 e's on a cannon minion can sometimes put you back into the lane. The other trick for winning this lane is your ult. It's very, very hard to land on fizz because he's just all over the place. But if you can land it (early or late in a trade) you can win the lane. Start off with building a tear and lost chapter (with these items spam the everliving crap out of your q and e; as always with cass, make sure your target's poisoned before e spam) and then go straight for an hourglass. Hourglass his ults. Not the second he hits you with it, but before it's about to pop and ideally, when he's about to land a trickers on you as well. This negates his whole combo. Get the ap part of it first as you build it since the armor isn't gonna help much. From there you should be spitting venom like a snake should at a fish.

Good luck, let me know if you need more help.
