Why are League players so selfish?

FederationFurry··4 votes·2,192 views

In general, most League players don't care about making a better community. They only care about how they personally can exploit the game for their own benefit.

They treat League like its some scared thing, claiming anything is "low elo problems". The arrogance of these waste of human existence is astonishing. League has problems, at every stage in the game and using that to dismiss somebody just shows why this community deserves all the abuse and reputation that it gets from outside.

You ask any gamer and mention you play League. They will laugh at you and say how toxic it is. It is so toxic because Riot does nothing to punish players for...

  • Smurfing
  • Trolling
  • Arrogance
  • Botting

League players don't want to hear it, they pretend that they are so morally rightous on the boards but its completely hypocritical and until Riot mans up and actually does things to stem the flow of this cancer, League will slowly be consumed by it.

There is no sense of community and it just goes to show, if this is the next generation of people, why nationalism is on the rise and people are becoming more apathetic.

What are these things you are saying, post after post, same shit lol?

Selfish? Do you know any better strategy to play soloQ, where only thing you can control is yourself? You call it selfishness, I call it part of strategy.

And yes, when you come to boards, crying about how Trynd, Nasus, Vayne and Veig are awfully broken, when there isn't reason to pick them until their better versions are banned, I call it "low elo problems".

You are common kind of person in this community, I call them "blamers". It's enough to go through your discussions to see that.

I call it ignorance.

(If you don't like something, propose changes, not just "Riot has to step up" kind of shit, how in the hell are you ging to solve arrogance? Smurfing isn't even problem, just climb...)

You are a common kind of person that has to perform a mass delusion where you believe that any issue with the game is down to "your skill" when actually skill matters very little in the current age.

I love these mental gymnastics. You need to believe that you somehow matter... its pathetic.

Riot need to start detecting smurf accounts and banning them when people try to cheat the system. You can never give people too much freedom because they just abuse it.

Oof.

"Oof", betrays your age I think a little and its true. Especially in the era of "more damage to the detriment of everything else". Riot care more about flashy gameplay then interesting mechanics and slower, more strategic play.

If you believe that your personal skill does not affect your ability to play the game then you are definitely not playing the game correctly.

If personal skill did not matter the top of the ladder would literally rotate out people every season yet it remains the same.

You are the kind of person who cannot accept that there are other people better than you so you blame the system.

I completely disagree with Federation about skill and impact on matches.

Hell I consistently disagree with most the posts they make.

I will provide a logical out for the guy.

Look this may or may not be true. Generally speaking thou, most the time its not even that bad. Players just have huge biases, for the most part everybody treats their skill as a sample size of their good games. So they feel they deserve a better rank then their peers because they compared their mean average performance for Good matches to the Overall mean average for their peers that has off or weak games as well.

Its like if you roll two dice. If you ignore any 1-3 for Dice A you will consistently see it beat dice B because you discount its negative rolls to only favor its higher end cases. 456 mean average is 5. 123456 mean average is 3.5

Pretty common place event on players in any game and most folks don't aim to check their bias.

Stop exaggerating. Laugh at you for playing League? Not buying it. Why would some1 laugh at you for playing a videogame lmao.

  • Smurfing

While its a shitty thing to do, unless smurfs arent trolling, smurfing is not bannable.

  • Trolling

Already punishable, although Riot should be faster and efficient with it.

  • Arrogance

Every online multiplayer game have those kind of people. Nothing you can do about it.

  • Botting

Already punishable.

People are "selfish" because the only one that they can 100% trust is themselves. You don't know who you're going to be matched with.

actually skill matters very little in the current age.

Ok, what? So, does that mean a Platinum or Diamond player will have a hard time in Bronze or Silver? Dude, are you even listening to yourself?

Can I have some of whatever it is you're high on?

the only thing that bothers me is, that i have seen a couple of people this season who were clearly account sharing or boosting.

they suddenly 1 trick a certain champion with their summoner spells swapping buttons with an extremely high winrate. like how obvious do you have to make it? none of the reports have done anything so far. in previous seasons too.

Kai Guy1 votes

Send those reports in Via support Tickets imo. I don't think the automated systems gonna catch them very well.

why do we have to open a manual support ticket for that shit?

rioters can just do their fucking job and review these cases manually. like, its not every day that i report someone for literal cheating or account sharing, unless im absolutely sure.

and as far as ive read, they have this credit system going that when you report someone for no reason, your reports will be taken less seriously.

so id at least expect them to take the reports from people seriously who dont spam them every game on their allies and opponents.

For Clarity. I strongly encourage folks to consider why player behavior systems make far more impact on match quality then MMR does. So It would be nice if the system added weight to players who consistently reported correctly for toxic behaviors.Hell I would be willing to gamble some of my accounts Honor level to get a report for who I feel was truly toxic into a Rioters hands.

As it stands, the best way to get a subjective human judgment seems to be via manual support tickets. If you already taking the time to go over their history, the 1-2 minutes required to manually send in a ticket should not be a big deal. If boosters bother you this is the best solution I know currently to help you get validation.

I am more then happy to discuss behavior systems that add quality to the game if you wish to go over hypothetical solutions.

The automated system deals with a massive amount of noise and its never going to be as good at subjective judgments as a human will given the fairly binary nature of automated programs. Same reason Stats independent of W/L are a shit metric for MM to try and use. Good stats and bad stats overlap and can look the same.

Subjective systems need the context of each game or context of each account. Automated systems treat everything equally far as context goes.

If it really bugs you the best option available to you is a Manuel report. That's how things stand at the moment to the best of my knowledge. I typicaly only ever use in game reports but outliers on toxicity or folks who bragg about how they never will get punished for their toxic behaviors are the ones I am willing to make time for a Manuel report.

Of which I think I have done a grand total of like 5 times? Literally less then once a year.

"why are league players so selfish?"

i'll tell you why. rank and glory. they care about nothing except their rank. and will treat others by their rank. you a higher rank than them? they'll act all buddy buddy with you and act as if you were old friends. lower rank? they'll pretend you dont exist. but what they don't realize (or care) is that ranks don't mean jack shit to the real world.

But unless you are Challenger rank and going to be on an LCS Team (Which if you are over 25... kiss your chances of that goodbye), then it simply does not matter and NOBODY is going to revere you for that if you act like an arrogant idiot.
