I know exactly how you feel. I got a lot of those comments on this very wiki.

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:StrategicMagic/Vayne_-_Carry%3F_Yes._AD%3F_No.

Have a read of that. It's huge, so just skim it over if you want. Basically, it's me talking about how Vayne isn't your usual AD carry and scales with attack speed instead. I reason my points with easy-to-follow bullet-pointed lists of my logic. I provide a build. What's important is the comments. I will admit, some comments to my build are reasonable. They may critisize me, but that's fine if it's constructive. But some people are just plain mean. It's also related to this following story:

A few months ago, comments were removed. When they came back, there was a call for people to become mods, scouring the comments and removing "toxic" comments, like the ones you mentioned. I got promoted to that position. I didn't see much that looked like it should be removed, but I did once. So, I removed it. Yet somehow, I accidentally removed half the article too. So, I reverted my removal of the comment. Then a couple of days later, I did some research into the Spirit Visage. What if it also worked on mana regen? I tested it, found it DID work on mana regen and added it to the page. Then, my factual information got removed. Would you be discouraged from editing if your edits are removed because it's considered trolling? In the end, I lost my mod promotion because of inactivity. Sad...

Why tell you that story? The same logic applies to when people tell you to go die for doing or not doing something. It wasn't what everyone else said or thinks, so it's wrong and that person should feel bad.

When I play a champion the first 3 times or so, I play against bots. I prefer not to screw my team over by being bad in pvp. The first time I played Draven, it was, as I said, against bots. Our teamcomp was really bad. We had no CC while the bots had Sona, Leona and Nunu. They always got away and nothing good really happened. The only CC we had on the team was Mundo. He went AFK. To cover the deficit of CC, I built a Frozen Mallet. It thought it could also help with catching my axes on a running target so they were always in range. My team hated on me so bad... We lost. It sucked. Because of people you describe that do nothing that hate on others, I have a special section in my friends list. I have a general group where if I'm doing an ARAM I just invite anyone. I have another group I called "good people". In there, I have people that are actually nice to play with. People that don't care when you screw up, people that admit when they were outplayed. When I'm in the queue waiting for a game or in champ select, if any of those people invite me to something, I make a special effort to cancel and go with them. It's really rewarding. I like to think I'm not one of those toxic players. I admit it when someone outplays me, I thank my team when the save me, or when my jungler ganks my lane. If there's some sort of bug or someone disconnects, I don't kill them, I let them go. Heck, I got my first penta because my support practically carried me the whole game. I wish there were more people like that...

P.S: I have a few suggestions for the next posts. AP and mid, why is it that if you're building AP, you have to go mid lane? If someone picks an underplayed or unappreciated champion, why is it suddenly a troll pick? And why is it that down at 1.2k elo, people don't buy defensive items unless they're a tank? Playing Corki? Then all 6 items have to be damage, apparently. Then when Viktor does 1/3 of their health, complain that Viktor is OP or has damage hacks, nothing to do with not buying MR. This is a real quote from a game I once played. I was Leblanc. I 100-0'd someone in one second flat. They decided to comaplain in all chat "OMFG LB SO OP FKIN NOOB CHAMP!" To which I replied "Buy MR then". You know what they said next? "LOL no, i'm an AD carry, not a tank retard". And that's why I think it makes a good topic.
