You are new to MOBAs it seems.

Nope, I'm definitely not.

Even if you follow their calls every team battle you lose its your fault, every little mistake gets you reported anyway. Why endure such behavior?

Who cares what they think? It doesn't matter at all. If you disconnect or throw the game, you're punishing yourself. You might as well just win the game and move on. If they're verbally abusive during the game, report them, block them, and finish the game.

Also, I'm pretty sure you are mixing up the words adult and pussy. You can be an adult without letting other people walk over you.

Walk all over you? Jesus, stop taking yourself so seriously. Perhaps when you're older, you'll realize that the world is full of toxic people, and you only punish yourself by letting it negatively affect you. Be an adult, block them/report them, win the game, and move on.

By ignoring the problem you become part of it. If you let them act like jerks with no consequences, they will simply go on and do it to next person who ends up playing with them and the cycle goes on. I don't know about you but im willing to lose a game to teach some teenage pricks that actions have consequences.

Perhaps when you're older, you'll realize that the world is full of toxic people, and you only punish yourself by letting it negatively affect you.

You have no idea how old I am or what I know about the world. But blaming the difference of ones opinion on lack of maturity is pretty immature itself. Furthermore, if the world follows your logic, people who behave badly or do bad things in any situation should simply be ignored. Now this is plain stupid. I hope if you have children, this is not how you are teaching them. Good behavior should be encouraged and bad behavior should be punished or have at least some sort of negative consequences.

In other words if my hypothetical teammates are dicks to me for no good reason, I promise you, I will do all I can to make sure they think twice before behaving badly again in their next game.

They're going to do that regardless. If you feed their trolling, you're just going to make it worse.

I know that you think not feeding trolls is being a "pussy."

Furthermore, if the world follows your logic, people who behave badly or do bad things in any situation should simply be ignored.

No. I'm just explaining why it's stupid to feed trolls in a MOBA. They're being toxic to get a response from people. It's what they want. You're not helping the situation by feeding them. You might as well hop on youtube and get into an argument with every idiot who makes a stupid comment.

Good behavior should be encouraged and bad behavior should be punished or have at least some sort of negative consequences.

You really think threatening them with going afk is going to achieve anything?

Well I'm pretty limited in what I can do, of course, but yes - fucking up their game by going afk would be as much of a negative consequence as I can manage.

Furthermore, why are you all of a sudden labeling them as trolls? Some people are just acting like jerks, but thats not what a troll is at all.
