Don't tell people how to play

if you see people playing the way they want don't tell people what to do or how to play it's rude and annoying if it's something obvious like you should ward or something it's fine but something like you should build this into this is not ok

Man sure is a good thing you built 0 defense against a burst champ.

Keep going full squishy damage and accomplish nothing when you get popped instantly.

GTFO with that crap, if you're being a moron and dragging your team down? We have every right to spam ping your dumbass and point out what you SHOULD be building.

Your opinion on what they "should" be building is irrelevant, you're not playing their champion and you have absolutely no right to dictate what a person can and can not build.

I'd like to agree with you; but I've been chat banned multiple times for doing just that. :P

Apparently it's "toxic" now to tell people not to chase a fed Ahri into an unwarded jg. Or that grouping mid and pushing when you are grossly behind is a terrible idea. Or that an ADC whos afraid to fight at full hp will cost us the game...

If it's not ranked games, people can build what ever they want. I seen many weird builds after years of playing. But I never complain. You cannot force people to build what "you" think is right.

If someone is trying to offer constructive criticism and they are either positive or neutral in their tone, then they are merely trying to help you make yourself a better asset to your team.

They might be correct, they might not be correct. But it should at least make you consider choices you've made that resulted in the death of you or your allies champions, the loss of turrets, or even missed opportunities such as dragons, the herald, and baron.

If someone is issuing insults your way and/or at your expense in allied chat and, more often than not, all chat, simply to express their anger and frustration over your choices and actions then it is best merely to mute them, report them after the match if you so choose, and then add them to your list of blocked players..

So don't tell people how to play except when you should tell people how to play?

I both agree and disagree with this, telling people things in a helpful manner and helping them improve/learn something new is absolutely acceptable and should be encouraged.

Raging at somebody because they refuse to build what you want them to/refuses to do what you want them do to tell them is unacceptable.

Raging at somebody

That's what make it unacceptable to you, isn't it. Therefore the "telling people how to play" part is unrelated to all this and could be replaced with anything else. When you queue into a game, 5 people are put together to share in the same stakes and their actions have an effect on the others. Because of this, it is only reasonable and decent that at the very least they can voice themselves on the topic because they will feel the repercussions of it.

Oh you are more than welcome to voice your opinion in an appropriate manner, there is a difference between giving an opinion/advice and raging at somebody.

Many times I've seen a build and thought "tf are you building? " but I haven't said it like that, instead I've gone "hey Lulu did you not build ardent for a reason? Just curious as your build isn't something I've seen before and wanted to know if it worked better than an ardent build. " in the end she told me she forgot about ardent that's why she hasn't opted for that build. We had a discussion about it just fine without either getting heated because I wasn't harassing her about her build I was inquiring instead.

But most people don't do it that way with most people it's "your a fucking support build sightstone. " "what the fuck are you building you trash" they basically have a "I don't care what you want to build you will build what I say" can of attitude and while yea a support should build sightstone nobody has a right to harass, insult or rage a person because they haven't done so.

That's what make it unacceptable to you, isn't it. Therefore the "telling people how to play" part is unrelated to all this and could be replaced with anything else.

It is still about telling people how to play though, even if you give advice on what to build they don't have to take it and nobody has a right to force them because they can build what they want, you can advice then but you can't actually tell them how to build/play.

Well actually that's what makes it unacceptable to riot which is why so many people get punished because they don't just offer advice they rage.

The same goes with in game, just because you don't like how somebody is playing doesn't mean you have a right to tell them how to play instead you can give them advice but ultimately they're allowed to play how they want as long as they're not breaking riots rules and trolling for example.

I mean, if I see my Ezreal building Trinity Force and Iceborn Gauntlet for the tenth time, I may tell him that this is not a good idea in my opinion.
