it doesn't matter how well you're doing or how good of a player you are if you tilt your teammates

if you intentionally tilt them (ping spam during mistakes or even just a bad outcome, unhelpful needling chat, and so on) you are being an overall detriment to the team.

"but they're OBVIOUSLY BOOSTED!" great. whatever. let it go.

"other rare circumstance that happened in my game!" let it go.

I've been behind and unloved by my jungler multiple times. I chill and try to get back into the game as best as my champion allows when behind. treating players like shit does no good. think of your lowest point in league, where you were behind by a large degree, perhaps due to your own mistake. think how it would have felt if someone really tried to hammer how shit you were that game. think if you got berated to the point where you just didn't want to play the game one minute longer.

now think about that before you antagonize a teammate, even if you think they're boosted bronze 5 trash. tell it to yourself, or even shout it out loud. but don't type it (or ping spam it), because you could just end up tilting yourself or your teammates even more.

you'll probably forget about the game within hours anyway.

"but how else is he gonne realize how terrible he is!"

Seriously. I don't even know what goes on inside their minds to say what they do. I've legitimately had someone harass us all game, calling ff votes EVERY SINGLE time it was up, saying his team was trash in all chat. And then...when we FINALLY won. What does he say in the lobby?

"You can thank me for carrying your heavy asses"

Just. Beautiful. It's probably worth noting we barely noticed him do anything but steal kills from us all game.

Agreed. I never understood the point of tilting your team when you want to rank up. It's so counterproductive because all it will do is lead to a loss.

I'd rather have a good flamer (not if he's completely tilted , then he's prob playing like shit) than a shit positive/silent teammate.

There is a good chance these same people I am tilting now, will be my enemies next game. It's just smart planning. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1Lvev_CcAEJAiJ.jpg https://ci.memecdn.com/7517725.jpg

id rather have good teammates idc if they flame as long as i win.

besides, i have never had a problem with people flaming me. idk why every1 here seems to be such a sensitive wuss about it. As if words from a random person that does not know u, that you will never see again in your games, really has an impact on you. Maybe you have a problem.

Not even the problem. Problem is being paired with players that are just so far below your own skill level.

Just had a Yi jungle that ended up 15/0 around 20 minutes. We lost because he recalled after every single rank. Didn't once go for dragon or towers. By the time we finally took one, they had 3 towers.

Each lane had a horrid matchup.

It doesnt matter how good you do when every game is determined by who has the better bot lane

AgeOfTheMage9/9/2017, 5:07:06 AM3 votes

yeah, I've honestly seen no point in typing hurtful comments//pinging rudely, just say it out loud people.

If you have such a fragile ego and take such issue with what people on the internet say, then you should not be playing a competitive online game in the first place.

I totally agree with you, but we can not always control our anger especially when the ranked system is so damn bad. When you win lane do well for 6-7 games straight and every damn time your team mates feed like their life depends on it, going 0 10 1 KDA or similar stats. You will loose control and start flaming them.

Problem itself is the shitty ranked system. The system purposely gives you bad teammates if you got positive win rate. Ranked should be about equal skill team vs equal skill opponents. Everyone has bad games and will loose lane, but it does not mean he/she is useless for the rest of the game. A diamond player is still a diamond player, even if he looses lane and he still has a chance to come back from it by being useful in objectives or teamfights.

It does not help either when the feeder is the 1 starting the flaming. Example blaming the jungler, adc blaming the support, jungler blaming everyone meanwhile never ganking any lane and so on.

When they constantly refuse to build correctly and do anything to even remotely play safer despite being reminded repeatedly in a calm and simple way, I think anyone would be entitled then to call out that shit player for losing us the game by being a braindead retard.

Good players > oversensitive skilless pussies.

Dont worry telling people to group up will get you perma banned because you didnt get on your knees and suck their dick while doing it. No one in this game has the maturity to handle not being talked to like they are three. You must sugar coat EVERYTHING or you will be perma banned even if you dont insult anyone at all.

I would rather have teammates that are equal in skill that aren't toxic. However, riot won't punish bad sportsmanship or make a reasonable matchmaking system. Things will never change, just have to mute all and deal

I think a better statement is it doesn't matter how good of a player you are, if your teammates feed harder than you can get yourself ahead it doesn't matter.

According to science, your skill set is brought down to monkey level if you play while angry. Taking breaks or maybe playing Bots matches to recover can help you not put red flags on your account via rage or inting

Singed Tilted teammates is a good sign.
