I started to wonder, as a person facing possible cancer(I won't say it is until the doctors can say 100 absolute percent it is cancer. That's why I requested additional screening and CT scans, and a biopsy to be 110 percent sure. several week process), if I should continue playing league of legends.

I love the game, and I try my hardest every time. But the stress of getting bagged on is so much when it happens, whether it is my fault or not, gets so much my body hurts. People get so mean, and it just makes me wish there was a way there could be a "friendly play" server. No major rankings. But then, I realize that we do play in such a server. Those who are competitive should play in ranked. And not make people feel so horrible that they have to play catch-up because someone overfed an opposing player, or that I did. I only play teemo, so I don't make mistakes(it makes me terrified to play anyone else, because people get so mean. I'm only good with teemo, and never get to enjoy other characters...because once someone starts being negative, and then says "it was just player banter."...it hurts, even physically).

So if someone is being bullied, please stand up for them. sometimes there are problems outside the game upon which that negativity compounds. sometimes carrying outside the game, and the person feels miserable from things like family problems, mental disabilities, and physical ailments.

Try muting your whole team.

Serenity.

yeah, but then I'd be reported for non-communication. I can admit when I make a mistake. A split second mistake should never be followed by 5 minutes of banter. If they have time to make me feel bad, they have time to help.

Ain't nobody gets reported for not chatting with the team. It's not like you need to read the chatlog to know when to baron/dragon/push/etc.

I usually don't use chat cues. the map is so easy to decipher, I could do it in my sleep. You're right.

Also smoke weed to cure cancer.

Play something more relaxing like bot games

I find that it's relatively uncommon for people to be d-bags in ARAM custom games, and less common in dominion games than in summoner's rift. Unfortunately, this game has an awful community as a whole.

Blind Pick isn't so bad compared to rank. People troll-pick a lot, but they don't go crazy-mad like they do in ranked. At least that's the people I play with. Muting the few that do rage very early in the game is worth it. It's easy to find out who's going to rage just by their first few words they type.

I also recommend turning off all-chat. That's in the options menu.
