Age Separation for NA and EU servers

Sorin Alucard·Mar 28, 2017·11 votes·746 views

My argument is this: kids are most likely to be the consistently immature in game (duh, gotta grow up still)

Yes, not all kids are lacking in manners and such, but I think adding age as a separating factor in matchmaking (like in China) would be good for these two servers.

An adult entering into an anon game with 4 kids (just a scenario) probably won't know the other 4 are children. If the adult is an asshole, and not mature him/herself then its teaching the kids "be a dick". If the adult is an adult, and the kids are asinine, insert x amount of possible bad scenarios.

We as people react to environment, and although it falls on us to control our actions and reactions our standards of conduct are too high for random children

It's up to parents (and the NSA) to check what the kids are doing on the internet and set the limits.

Not Riot (also Riot did set the limit to 13yo).

lol I don't think NSA has the right to invade privacy period, and thats coming from a former employee as for putting it on parents, that doesn't account for 1. Bad Parents 2. No parents 3. Little parenting despite existence of parents 4. Problem children or people who have not been psychologically evaluated for mental disorders.

Setting a limit without application to age separation in the servers is about as effective in implementation as porn sites asking you "click yes if 18".

I'd like to live in a positive world where all parents are good, all children are being reared in a mature and caring environment, but we live in one where a lot of adults grow up in age and not in mentality.

What's the difference if you make an age separation ? people would just lie.

If they want it, they wouldn't lie.

Like, if a 30 year old agreed to this, they wouldn't lie and say they are 12.

If a 12 year old didn't want to see people older than them in their games (because of intimidation) they wouldn't lie and say they're 30.

It's the idiots, ragers, smurfs, and "just in it for the lulz" people that would lie. Who needs them though?

Would result in longer queue time.

because no kid lied about being less than 18 years old, on the internet. ever.

how do you propose to confirm the actual age of people?

Problem is, immaturity in League has nothing to do with age. There are tons of man-babies and very mature teenagers.

Would be nice. Especially because than kids can play with kids, more or less their age if possible, and adults can play with adults. Not to say adults and kids can't be friends, but its less likely I'd say.
