What constitutes a troll?

Pegasus Fantasy··1 votes·842 views

I see people reporting others for being trolls because they don't play the lane they get stuck with (last pick). How is that trolling? Is there some part of the league terms and conditions that says you have to play a certain lane? The "Summoners Code" (http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/get-started/summoners-code/) does state that teamwork is essential and a needed trait in an eligible player, but it doesn't say that you MUST fill a lane " TRY to fill a niche in your team that hasn't already been filled....TRY asking for another player to fill the gap....". So if you don't play a lane that is given to you and you play another role you get banned. That would contradict the "Summoners Code". If so then you can't ban others because they don't want to play a pre-determined role. I have been banned for being "toxic" (creative judgment in my defense ) just to throw that out there, I believe riot should enforce a mute button at the start of the game to show players that it exists. I find it ridiculous that people report others for speaking their mind when in fact they neglect the mute button that is there to protect you against "toxic" players, the sole reason for its existence. The only argument for the justification of the mute button would be ??? what? if you don't use it to mute "toxic" players then you are using it to ignore your teammates. So my question for whoever is reading this goes as follow's; What constitutes a troll? How is not playing a pre-determined lane trolling" Why are people being banned for being "toxic" when a mute button exists? I know this is a semi-long reading, so thanks for reading, all responses are welcomed.

So you were banned because you didn't know how to shut up?

That is being toxic. If you can't focus on the game but instead try to play the roll of someone's mom thinking you'll convince them what is right and wrong. You're wasting your time and you're making communication between teammates harder. Forcing your team to start using the mute button because you don't understand this in itself is toxic alone. Let alone what you might be saying.

People play LoL to play a game. Not listen to someone's opinion for 20-40 minutes. If you have something to say, wait till the end. Not when people are still trying to win. All you will do is put them on tilt and cause a loss.

A troll? I don't think so. Trolls do it to amuse themselves. People confuse the two far too often. Similar to calling someone "gay" or "nerd". They just pick a word that to them has a negative meaning and go with it.

Also note it takes a few reports to make these things happen. If you have trouble understanding what to not say. Just stick to talking about the game and nothing else.

Why must I shut up when I'm pointing out the errors of a teammate's gameplay in hopes that said teammate can stop doing whatever is losing us the game? If I don't start off by calling him a faggot who deserves to die of cancer, what right does he have to tell me to stfu?

Let them make their mistakes then. Let it effect them. Focus on your game and keep your score in a good spot. That way your MMR stays higher than theirs. So the loss wont hurt you as much and your wins will give you more.

There's quite a few people who think they know way too much about how the game works. These people are often just there to win. Not to learn or improve. They just want to be challenger even if they didn't earn it. You wont be convincing them of anything.

You're only making things harder for yourself.
