Lately, since i saw the post from Riot saying that positive player are getting rewards, it got me motivated to try to not get banned or chat restricted next season. I'd like you guys to give me some tips to help me stay positive in-game even if a teammate does stupids mistakes and ruin our game and also what should i do when there are toxic player , except for the /mute because even if they're toxic i need to communicate with them to at least try to win a game , even though they're raging just because sona missed ult and then blaming her when they die.

Even if you mute someone you can communicate with pings, normally that'll suffice. The best thing to do when frustrated is focus on your game. How can you improve yourself, what can you adjust to help carry the other players. If you realize someone is terrible, don't try to 2 v 2 with them, wait for reinforcements. Lastly, if the situation isn't salvageable; stand up, take a deep breath, recall everyone has a bad game and remember you can always report them after the match (even unskilled report).

I personally never mute, just because communicating is vital in the way I play. Although I do entire ignore what they say, never. respond. negatively. I responded ONCE by saying "Soooo You're blaming me for feeding?" (I copy/pasted this from the logs mod gave me when I asked why I got the warning), and the Mod, low and behold, gave me the copy/paste message saying I was "Overwhelmingly Toxic" So now I just never respond. Unless its teamwork. Never. Ever. Respond.

No. Just mute, you dont need to communicate with them to win. Chances are high they will have lost you the game already, otherwise just ignore them and give them instructions like 'group here or come for baron' where needed.

Reading their constant harassment will put you on tilt and cause you to do worse.

So true. But so hard to try and help when they are so toxic. I love how I can be laning in the top, make a kill, ping the enemy is missing, 3-4 times. When my top lane opponent pops up in mid lane and gains a successful kill, the mid laner goes "OMG MIA?! YOU SUCK YOU#$%^#$%"

I'm sorry but why would I want to play anymore? or a game where everyone has died 15 times and you're trying to split because there's clearly no teamwork going on and the loss is your fault because you're trying to get towers when they just YOLO in the enemy jungle and get caught.

How do you keep trying to win? I simply stop playing. Of course, then I get the warning/ban.

I feel your struggle and pain brother.

If someone is "raging" and "toxic" - just mute them.

  1. The probability of them actually saying anything useful is very low.

  2. The probability of them distracting you and making you miss other useful information is high.

  3. They can still see your chat and pings, and you can see their pings.

Good for you for trying to stay positive. I too struggle with staying happy while playing LoL. Losing can be so disappointing, and by acknowledging behavior that you want to change, you have already accomplished a critical first step. This is because until you acknowledge a problem, it's not going to change!

One thing that might help is, when things in the game go bad, remember your goal of being a positive player (you'll have to work out what "being a positive player" means to you). When your teammates are flaming against each other, or your jungler didn't help you out when you needed them most (or whatever circumstances give you the most grief), remember that goal. Then, your focus changes slightly from winning the game per se to playing the game gracefully, no matter the outcome. This way, even if your team ends up losing the game, you still accomplished your goal--you tried to be a positive player and help out your team. Another thing that happens when you remember your goal for yourself is that your focus also changes from what other people are doing to what you are doing. You are the only person whose behavior you can truly control, so why put all your effort into trying to get other people to do what you want? It's madness!

Another thing that helps me personally to tone down strong emotions while playing is to listen to relaxing music while I play. I might listen to new age or upbeat religious music, because these things calm me down and make me feel content. Find what helps you feel the best.

Finally, Riot's "summoner's code" has some things written there about what kind of behavior Riot wants to see in the game, so it may be helpful to review what it has to say and see how you can be better at incorporating those principles into your play. Here's the URL: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/get-started/summoners-code/

I know there's probably great advice that I haven't given here, but this is the best I've got so far. Good luck!
