Stop judging people on what champion they select

Really really tired of seeing posts like "Who do you hate playing with?"

Tired of people seeing I highlighted Riven in Champion Select and immediately flaming my or even banning my pick because they assume I am toxic.

I'll admit. I've met more rude players playing Vayne or Yasuo than nice ones. But I am not going to punish the nice or even capable players immediately when they choose that champion.

Maybe that is just what they enjoy in this game? Maybe they like their lore, dialogue or the fun things they can do? Maybe they are practicing a hard champion because they like a challenge?

Same goes for "easy" champions. I get flamed for picking Garen, Ashe or Malzahar. Look, I just like those characters and have fun playing them. If you picked Azir and lost to Malzahar, that does not make me an inferior human being. I play some hard champions like Riven and Vayne. Some moderate ones like Poppy and Shyvana. And some "easy"(mechanically) ones like Ashe and Soraka. Because I just like these characters.

And posts like "Who do you hate playing with" are just spreading prejudgement and toxicity. That would be like judging all people who have brown hair based on how one acts. Just stop. Give people a chance. And have the guts to be kind.

Quite often blaming and flaming are a defense mechanism. When people play mechanically challenging champions their mistakes stand out. They get flamed a lot. And so I personally feel a lot of Vayne and Riven and Yasuo and Azir players get so toxic because the community hammers them so much.

While mechanically easy champions your achievements don't stand out much. As such people flame you for "playing an easy champion" to relieve themselves of blame for their tower diving a full HP Malzahar with all cooldowns. Which means players who play "easy" champions get defensive... and flame.

It's a vicious cycle. Just stop. We are all here to have fun and do our best.
