"Dude chill, it's just a game"

BeatinWarDrumz··6 votes·1,216 views

Please, please do not use this to excuse bad play or trolling. If you troll, you deserve what abuse you get - BECAUSE THIS IS MORE THAN A GAME. Lol is a sport. Sure, it's not physical, but it is recognized by the U. S. Congress as one, and has most of the aspects of "normals sports". As for feeding, I'm okay if you say something like "Sorry guys i know this is my b, i'll try harder," but please. don't say it's just a game. I'm not lcs - I'm silver, but i do take this game seriously. I don;t first time in ranked, I try and pick what goes with our team comp, etc etc. Same thing goes for afkers. Here's a list of when it's ok to go afk:

When it is: You have multiple obvious trolls on your team adn the score is like 30-5 A family EMERGENCY comes up (i. e. someone is hurt, died, etc) You have a freak accident (read - power outage, not just hurr durr my internet broke fuck the server move)

When it isn't: Basically everything else

Please upvote if you agree, and if you downvote tell me why in the comments :)

EDIT: ofc i get downvoted

ofc

There's a difference between a bunch of guys getting together to play football in your backyard and the NFL. You may take the game seriously, but to many players, League is a casual videogame that doesn't take priority over real life, just like other games.

Unfortunately there are more sheep in the world and they take on the sheep mindset because they don't understand that not everyone thinks like they do. Play the game the way it was intended and you don't hear people make those statements. Whether you want to believe it or not you are playing the game differently then intended and have taken your own opinion as fact. You are not even close to being in the right. sheep are too stupid to understand that though.

You imply that "sheep" are people who do not agree with you. I assume that you are not talking about wool-covered animals, but are instead using the term to imply that those who do not agree with you are meek and timid. I'm also going to assume "you" and "sheep" here are interchangeable, rather than assuming you are referring to me directly.

Your comment is as follows:

  1. You say that there are more "sheep" in the world.
  2. You say that "sheep" do not understand that other people do not think like they do.
  3. You say that if "sheep" agree with you, they won't hear statements that disagree with you.
  4. You say that "sheep" are wrong
  5. You say that "sheep" have taken their own opinion as fact.
  6. You say that "sheep" are wrong
  7. You say that "sheep" are stupid

A logical analysis of these statements:

  1. This is a reversal of argumentum ad populum, as you are asserting your correctness from being in the minority.
  2. This is a faulty generalization.
  3. This is both false and does not support your point. At best, you are arguing that if you were in the majority, you could ignore the minority view rather than addressing it.
  4. This is circular reasoning; you assert that you are correct without proving your point.
  5. This is an argument from fallacy; you assert that "sheep" have committed a logical fallacy by taking their own opinion as fact. This is also not supported, and is stated as fact.
  6. This is proof by assertion; you repeat your earlier statement to prove that it is true.
  7. This is an ad hominem attack.

Go read the instructions on how to play the game. They are right there. You sheep have created your own way of playing the game. It is wrong, PERIOD. You disagree with the way the game RIOT intended. It has nothing whatsoever to do with me. So I hope you feel better accusing me when in fact you and the sheep like you are not even close to being right with the way you play this game.

It's just sad that there are too many people like you who do what they want regardless of who they affect with their BS attitudes.

Then why are you casual dudebros playing the competitive mode? team builder and normal games are a thing. we don't need moronic feeders in ranked saying its just a game. ranked isn't for fun ranked is for winning.

ranked is for winning right? tell that to the community who report you in normal game for playing roaming blitz and then get carried and yell "ohw honor blitz". then, even if it's ranked and you lost it isn't the end of the world.

when i tell you " it is just a game" in ranked, i'm telling you that losing the game won't end your life. but i still play at 100% of my strength in ranked so shut the fuck up.

oh please anyone who says that is already feeding or trolling, or just playing a tier below their skill level

That's more of forgetting/bad habbit, the issue at hand is it states he only placed 3 total wards while having sight stone+trinket

OH RIP! REALLY?!

No vision on that map!

ADC planted 14.. xD

Mimy1 votes

or swapped it our for upgraded vision ward.. free pinks :3

Jungle can take sweeping.. Sweeping is best for ganking.. you can use it to disable wards for a sneaky engage. Well thats how my firends do it when I support.. I get sightstone and pink upgrade while everyone upgrades to yellows jungler gets oracles ADC could get farslight if theres enough wards to keep them from facechecking and keep them safe.

While nothing excuses trolling or intentionally feeding.

If they're just not playing up to your expectations and you begin lashing out at them, then yeah. Dude chill, it's just a game.

Sport: noun - an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

Habitz1 votes

If we're nitpicking it doesn't detail the level of physical exertion needed to qualify as a sport.

LoL and other video games are E-sports not sports. get the fuck out of here kid.

I honestly feel as if you're getting this statement, it's because you're unnecessarily ribbing your allies and possibly being insulting or condescending.

Remember that while it is competitive, and winning is important, you shouldn't be going off on your teammates. A lot of this game should be taken as a measure for personal improvement and not blaming others or constantly yelling in chat.

If you're in silver, you, like me, are still improving your play. Your allies are learning as well. Silver is about a C in terms of playstyle-- average, getting the concepts down, but not really a master of anything quite yet. You need to have some patience, because people are going to fuck up. It's frustrating, I know, but please don't take it out on your teammates. Focus on your own game.

As for trolls and AFK'ers, report and move on. There's nothing to be done.

There is no excuse to ever verbally abuse people. Maybe don't be rude to people and they might do better.

No I agree, but you aren't going to make them play any better take it more seriously by bring rude. But, I know what you mean. I play aram a lot, like I don't like playing summoners rift because its full of trolls and just straight up rude people. I know that aram is meant to be fun but I take it seriously. If I get mad at someone their usual response is " It's aram who cares?" like, I DO YA .

Randomonium1 votes

Just because lol is an e-sport doesn't mean it isn't a game or people can't play it casually. People play casual games of basketball and football all the time and those are also "competitive" sports.

I can understand your frustration with trolls in ranked games but it still doesn't give you the right to be toxic to someone. If you were playing a game of pickup basketball would you flame some guy because he air balled a shot?

Okay look: when someone says "it's just a game" i say "Yea it is a game, BUT THE POINT OF A GAME IS TO HAVE FUN AND YOU'RE RUINING THAT FOR ME"
