Serious question - when you become aware of one of these types of players on your team, which is about at least one person every other game or so, what do you do?

I use a stern but loving voice that puts them down but provides some comedic relief. My ability to talk to the average pubbie allowed me to solo q to 1800.

"Listen here dipshit, one of us is gonna have to buy wards and I'm busy actually doing shit for the team"

heh u r doing it wrong, u shouldnt say anything at all and play ur best game
as a troll any sort of attention received means that ur trolling is working so if u pretend not to care the troll will lose interest

remember, trolling is always the intention to provoke a reaction and get people mad (if u got a good acc or if u r smurf tho, personally i'd make u lose regardless if u give response or not)
in hon tho u start with a small flame and all the happy retards will soon join in and things will escalate quickly to a point where nobody wants to play with each other let alone win

- Don't "feed the troll".
- Try to be genuine, help them out the best you can over the mic or by words.
- If they refuse to listen then ignore them and let them be and hope for the best.

Example: If the troll (is playing carry or middle) and he's getting ganked and whining, place wards for him / stack jungle/ancs.
Example: If the troll (is playing support) and he's getting ganked and whining, buy him a ward to place, have him stack jungle/ancs (afk stacking), to help middle out instead, to play passive.

Yelling at them and being a dickhead just makes it worse, makes him troll harder and refuse to play w/ the team.

Sometimes you can get through to them and sometimes you cannot.

That's the way I've always gone about it and it's a 50/50 result.

No, what you do is You notice the troll. See what strategy he is doing to troll your team. And hopefully if he is good, take in the enjoyment and laugh at what he is doing.

If he is feeding(dumbest form of "trolling") dont ask him to stop. Tell him to go feed some more. Ask him to Bash his KDR. TEll him you want to see him get to .3

This. seriously.

Tell him if he doesn't hit 40 deaths, you will just be disappointed.


Or just don't play HON....
