Dealing with the community

[quote=Totallymeh]Hello! I've been playing LoL since release and I've never been an angry sob or identified myself as a rager... But how in the world do you deal with some of these people without resorting to their level? Having to play on the same team with a herpderp that says "kid" to everything you say really is rage inducing. I hate to admit it but I'm pretty much starting to flame these people myself. Because I'm pretty much experiencing first hand that Tribunal is not helping at all.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]/ignore is not a bad command. And I would also suggest that you don't talk to them except ss:ing and pinging.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Out of curiosity, do you do the tribunal? Don't complain about something not working if you don't participate it it. Other than the initial GL HF at the beginning of a match, try restricting chat to things like "gj" "nj" "mia/ss" or yelling at your duo-queue partner. Yelling at randoms isn't going to help at all.[/quote]

[quote=Totallymeh]Uh I used to participate in the Tribunal. Then I saw it going nowhere... in 3 months time it managed to ...remove none of the trolls I run into daily. You really start seeing what a small world it is when you run into the same troll at least half a dozen times a week. I start the game by being positive and saying good job. But after that it just all goes downhill, people want you to suicide with them and if you don't you get spammed, harassed and trolled. Last night some guy spam sent friend invites to me, determined to find out my true elo because apparantly I'm a "kid noob fail0r that waynes".[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Ignore the baddies[/quote]

[quote=Totallymeh]So sad that I have to resort to playing this game like a single player when it really does infact involve other people. Even though some of them might be mouth breathers...[/quote]

[quote=Fox Rage]What I do : At the begining of the game, I say GLHF, and ignore EVERY single player of the enemy team. After that, I only use chat to say gl or mia. If one of my team start bitching, /ignore right away. It works for me. My ELO is climbimg, slowly.[/quote]

[quote=Yougan]If they're doing this to you, just facepalm. :D If they're doing this to someone else, maybe defend that person? That person might be happier and gets happy to other people :D[/quote]

[quote=ExamplePrime]Get a team of mates Or just realise how pathetic they are better, stand back, laugh at how pathetic they ARE being and continue on. And using /ignore is useful at times, and remember to block real bad offenders after game[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Be as friendly and communicative as you can be whilst playing well. If someone starts flaming or trolling, ignore them and don't respond in any way, because responding will only make it worse. Internet trolls and flamers THRIVE on attention. If someone's playing badly by suiciding or getting caught, try to politely tell them what they're doing wrong, and if that doesn't work, ignore them and stop helping them. Odds are you'll still lose the game, though.[/quote]
