Do you crush your opponent mercilessly, or ease up once its obvious you're going to win?

JUST something I'm curious about! I'm a bronze level to low level silver player so pretty much every match I get involved in is a blowout. I understand the matchmaking system isn't perfect but Eeeee much of the time the skill level differences are light years apart. Anyways I find...MOST of the time the winning team wants to stomp you into the dirt as much as possible. Personally I think its very boring when you can kill your enemy in a click of the mouse or two. And I find it equally boring when the enemy team can do the same. SO if I get too far ahead Ill ease up on whoever i'm fighting so at least people can enjoy the game a little. Much of the time I literally get screamed (E-screamed) at and reported (Is there a category for that?) for it lol, by the people who want to just stomp their enemy and spam insults in the process.

So which side do you fall on?

I've seen too many people throw won games.

No mercy for the weak.

No, if you get a lead then fuck around you are not serious about the game and will throw. When you get leads you need to snowball those and end the game as soon as possible using those advantages.

My question to this is...why would you be serious about the game?

Why would you play ranked games if you don't care about winning or losing?

Depends. If the enemy team are sore losers/being a dick to their teammate in all chat, ill extend it as much as possible to make them suffer.

If they are humble about it, I'll end it asap for em

Ranked is for trying to win. Normals is for practicing and having fun. I suggest only "easing up" in normals. Don't go into an environment where people are expecting you to play at your best and win (Ranked) with the attitude that you get bored when you are winning hard.

If you are winning hard early then finish early. Take what you can and give nothing back. There is no mercy to be had or given in ranked play. Take advantage of your opponent's mistakes and make them suffer for them.

OKAY HOW ABOUT this. The game itself doesn't change from normal mode to ranked mode. You chose the same heroes, they throw the same spells you kill the same monsters. But the enjoyment you get and how you get it, DOES change from a simple swap of the title?

If it's ranked, I'll try to snowball the lead by taking and denying objectives. If it's normal, I'll tell my teammates "let's baron throw"

Just farm, play passive and then attack at the right opportunity.. isnt that how LoL is played anyways?

unless your champ is a complete counter... then you just bully the guy. Still cant miss on that farm though. Might be worth it to just farm, you dont wanna dive in and have minion aggro or jungler camp
