If you want to have fun, Follow this list of dos and don't

Do: Be cordial and respectful with ally and opponent alike. If someone isn't doing that well, lend them a hand and some encouragement, Harsh words will make them do worse. odds are they are mad at themselves too. When you have a lead, press the advantage to snowball objectives, turrets take priority when given the means and it is sufficiently safe to do so, Dragon And Baron Nashor are also valuable assets in achieving this goal of destroying the nexus Focus who you are able to catch out of position if you have sufficient damage to kill them at best you can severely wound them and they will be out of a fight As a Marksmen(adc) focus who you can attack safely, even if it's the tank, charging the enemy adc will just get you killed, leave that to an assassin. Adapt your builds and playstyle based on what you are fighting, is Zed blowing you up as twitch? this item is anti burst, use it well. Last hit minions

Don't: Play when upset. Insult someone and call them a noob, trash etc, this adversely affects morale and can get you banned. Insist that you are not at fault for losing and blame others, no one is perfect and even professional players make mistakes, odds are, there is something you could've done better. Ask for advice, then refuse to take it. Duo or flex queue with someone if they have a habit of raging, even if they are a good player, someone calm and collected is most likely more receptive to feedback and willing to improve. Overextend(chase) for a kill. If you know you will need to go afk, be it work, School etc, please just take care of such things and play when you get home. Prioritize playing league over real life needs, eating, sleep, school, family needs ie a kid or younger sibling that may need your help, or significant other. Chase Singed.

I understand that things in life happen that are unexpected, emergencies and such, and people will have to leave a game at some point. my point is knowing you will need to leave ahead of time and playing a game anyways.

Those are the best advices you can give someone. Take this, fellow players and follow Summoners Code. If you do this, you will win more games, have fun and you can get reported trilion times and you won't get banned, because you did nothing wrong. That loading screen tip you see every 3rd game yes, it really works like that.

Be kind to your teammates, respectful to your enemies and you will not only have better time playing, but you will also get better in the game.

You're mixing fun with winning.

Chasing for a kill is fun as hell. Thinking (like adapting builds), and niceties like being respectful or encouraging do absolutely nothing directly.

A real list for having fun would look something like this:

Do:

Try cheese champions/builds.
Try unique champions/builds.
Focus some dude throughout the game for the lulz.
Counterjungle
Be lighthearted, spam emotes, dance, laugh at your fails.
Be extremely aggressive.

Don't:

Expect/play to win.
Expect anything from your team-mates.
Get mad.

(Do not) "Insist that you are not at fault for losing and blame others"

Sorry, but that is why this game is stupid sometimes. I had a Twitch in my last game who got destroyed in lane. I won mine, and even TP ganked his lane. The Twitch was so tilted that he cried all game and blamed me and the jungler. It was at this point that I told the Twitch to shut the fuck up and kill himself. Sorry, but when you have two tanks tanking for your ass, and solo killing people, but you're so tilted you can't hit farm or even try to win, then call me toxic, despite you flaming for the first 20 minutes, then when you get flame back, you cry toxicity. This legit happened. This Twitch acted like a victim.

Sandbagging and crying from Twitch is why I lost that game. My play was fine.

People who suggest item 3812 on twitch should be tried in the Hague.

You buy blood thirster and phantom dancer.

Here's the biggest question i have about this list.

Don't: Play when upset.

What about when it's the game itself that makes you upset? Not the players, but the actual design of the game mechanics and champions?

You literally can't avoid the absolute terrible direction riot has taken the game, and even if they haven't removed something from the game, they've often strong armed it out.
