Gotta get those fantasy points tho! ( bad joke )
These are 18-25 year old men/women who plays video games 24/7, not leave the house (unless going to the gym or for their weekly restaurant after each game(2-3 times in a week - give or take). Point is these players haven't really
A. matured/maturity- Interviews with such players are always the same " Dank, LOLZ, Troll, feels bad man,"
B. Like I said before they don't do anything but play games so their social skills and just doing your job is at a all time low, trolling is more important. However if ROC did lose that game, their first response would most likely had been ( We just gotta learn how to close out games and work better as a team)
C. They don't care/ It's a game
It' taken about 7-8 years before the scene has felt professional, with talks such as franchising, better interviews, more $ etc and for the most part to these players, they train by playing a game, the scrim playing, the practice, solo Q, and LCS also playing the game. About 75% of the time playing the game is within solo Q and as the age ol' expression goes " You tend to build bad habits during the time you spend the most"
Stuff like this won't stop and what can be done anyways ?
Putting a rule up wouldn't help - Most teams/players need to sometimes spawn camp while the others finished off the base knowing that 1 player from the opposing team could possibly 1v5 them depending on score, levels etc. Timely matter of this is for all to see and decide for themselves in difficult and certain games.
Solo Q habit ? In solo Q whenever a team loses who's typically the first to be blamed at the end of the game if not during ? - The person with the worst score/KDA. These pros are just trying to pad their stats so if the team does bad or doesn't make the playoffs, relegated those certain players can say ( Look at my stats and none would be the wiser to say it's not X players' fault)
Second pro players are already pros and even if they do troll in games they will still win a decent amount knowing/having 4 other pros on their side in solo Q so the bad habits are still forming even if they aren't spawn camping. A good example of this and off subject is Perkz - True his seems to be a "professional" on stage, but how many splits till you think he will do the same and start to build on bad solo Q habits also ?
( I want to point out - I'm not saying every gamer is "childish or immature" and say goes for 18-25 year old's also, don't want to discriminate anyone just trying to make a point etc).
Sorry if I did discriminated anyone in advance, wasn't my motive or the point of this!
Just my take on this subject, grind this type of troll attitude into the players during solo Q( nothing military style but just enough so bad habits don't form. I know Solo Q is where the players can relax from LCS, scrims etc, but if we want to be professional, stay relevant among the Koreans the Western players all not just EU but NA needs to improve, be professional and be adults about the job that you are playing.
